Many people in America claim to be Christians. ""Really"" Do we really understand what the name Christian means in layman terms.
To be a person of the Christian Faith, one must believe in Jesus Christ as the son of GOD, he was born to a virgin mother Mary and that he was born both man and GOD. To be Christ like, we must be saved by the blood of Jesus Christ and to be baptized telling the world we have washed away our old and sinful life and than we pick up the symbolic cross and follow Jesus and spread his gospel throughout the world.
Romans Chapter 10, verse 9 tells us what we must do in order to be saved and call ourselves a "Born Again" follower of Jesus Christ.
Does it make us perfect, No but we are a part of Jesus Christ and he is a part of us through the pouring out of the Holy Spirit upon our way of life and that we attempt to be sinless as Jesus Christ but we will all fall short of his Glory, no one is perfect as Jesus but he will pour out his love toward us in our attempt to become perfect and help us through life and he will carry our burdens on his back and he will fight our battles for us. Just ask and follow him---That simple.
Myself, I prefer to call myself a person of Faith and a follower of the true church, the church of Jesus Christ. There is many multi-million dollar buildings of one design or another that people wish to call a church or GODS House. We need to be reminded that Jesus tells us that his church is the true church, those that follow him and are "Born Again" in accordance with the Scriptures are the members of his church the (congregation). Jesus is the Bridegroom and his church is the Bride. GOD also tells us that his temple can not and will not be built by man. My church, my faith and my Savior Jesus is in my heart and when we meet at a building to worship GOD, the members that are saved in the blood of Jesus will carry Jesus inside with them.
People of Faith call themselves Christians because they follow the word of GOD and submit to doing his WILL. (Obedience) to do so is to be with GOD or without him or maybe luke warm.
Jesus speaks of a person whom is a luke warm Christian----They make him vomit like a dog. People who profess to be of the true faith and even may display this demeanor around the church and do opposite away from the church. (back sliders) as many people call them.
Can you be a True Christian and profess to be a follower of Jesus if you support the laws of man or governments that are in direct conflict with the laws of GOD. Jesus tells us to obey the laws of the land, except when they are above the law of GOD, nor will we obey the laws of man.
Same sex marriage, homosexuality, drug abuse, porn, alcohol, abuse of children, adultery or any violation of GODS Commandments. Can we call ourselves Christians---Jesus tells us we can not and he will rebuke you when you go to him in prayer. Judgment Day, Jesus tells us---I will not know you.
The Entire Holy Bible is the inspired word of GOD written by his authors.
Can we reprint, omit or change the Holy Bible to fit our need and still call ourselves Christians-----Revelations Chapter 22 warns us and spells disaster and plagues that will fall upon anyone that changes GOD word. Does this include rewriting his Holy Bible and changing the meaning of his words or to omit some of his laws or to change some dates to mislead his people. Jesus warns us about those false teachers and some calling themselves prophets that will call or come in his name but he tells us that he did not send them.
Babylon The Great-------These three words--What do they mean to Christianity.----Paganism has been in existence since creation when satan appears as a snake to mislead Eve to eat the fruit, telling her that GOD is a Liar and he is not being truthful to her and Adam.
The Baal Empire where GOD had Elijah kill 400 Baal Priest----Paganism still insisted on showing its head all the way through the Ancient Egyptian Empire, Roman Empire, many other empires and finally resting its head upon the Harlot of all whore churches under their influence.
When man bows to a King or Queen----Is this bowing to a image (paganism)---When man creates a exact duplicate throne on the scale of GODS Throne in the Bible and seats himself upon it and said he is the Earthly Jesus Christ. He and his priest can forgive sins and grant salvation to people.------Is this person being treated as a GOD and claiming to take the place of GOD in the forgiving of sins without asking Jesus Christ in the name of his Father.
How many Holy Fathers is there in the world or the universe-----I only know of one---GOD Almighty---JEHOVAH.
When did Jesus Christ stop being GOD----Jesus has been with his Father before creation even began.----GOD allowed and gave Jesus the Power of Creation-----Jesus is our creator of mankind, the universe and he is our savior that died for our sins.
When is People of Faith going to stand up and say---blasphemy of our GOD and our culture has gone far enough---Why would you wish to gain your life on earth and loose both your life and soul to GOD
STOPP___STOPP__STOPP___RIGHT NOW.
OUR GOD IS THE ALPHA & OMEGA-------He has no beginning or ending---He is the Mighty-- "IAM" who "IAM"-----THE ONE TRUE LIVING GOD.
Throughout time and history, JEHOVAH has destroyed nations, cultures, empires, Kings and no one can stand his MIGHTY POWER.
ALL POWER, WEALTH and AUTHORITY in the universe belongs to and granted by him.
He lifts up Kings to greatness and he brings them down to the grave or destruction.
There is ONE GOD AND ONE ONLY---JEHOVAH.
Jesus ask us---why should we fear mankind---I have your back---man can only kill the earthly vessel your Soul lives within.---I will grant that life back to you and punish those that killed you.----Jesus tells us that he has a place in HELL for those that kills his people, harms the little ones and disobeys him.----HELL IS FOR ETERNITY.
All of mankind will stand before Jesus and be judged, one person at a time---Who is prepared
