  1. Not all Christianity has back of Jewish. Chrisitan over the world is over 30,000 different denominations, do't behave or teach the same things, can't define sin according to the Covenant given through Moses.

  2. The concept of 'being someone' for example 'a christian' and hereby a certain kind of christian, is not from the Lord. He never told us to 'be somebody' – but to follow. To do, to be led. Trying to be someone is to walk in the concequence of sin; to have your self in focus, determining a 'truth' about yourself. We cannot 'be somebody'; we already are and that of God, not of ourselves, for all being is of God. Dont try to be somebody. Instead: FOLLOW!!!!!!

  3. I disagree, it is a derogatory term, when you read the whole of 1st Peter in context, you realize all the suffering and blaspheming they suffered and the name-calling, is what Messiah suffered. He then concludes his letter by revealing the very name of blasphemy they suffered under, Christianos. It is a name of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit in the believer. They suffered shame because of it according to Peter but he encourages them not to be ashamed because you are glorified in the sufferings as Messiah himself also suffered for the gospel.
    This I believe links to the blasphemous names found in the apostate church.

  4. The Hebrew Bible says the disciples were called Messianics not Christians and the word Christian is not found in original Hebrew Manuscripts it was inserted by the Catholic Christian Church and if we study the word Christian it means cretin and cretin derives from Latin Christianus which is a Christian this can be researched also Christ derives from Greek Christos which derives from Chrestos which is Mithra chrestos religion of Rome and the Catholic Church has image of Mithra Chrestos in Vatican

  5. Do you think during the time of Paul that word Christianos is Christianos at that time? of the Bible scholars change it. The Speaker cannot depend the world Christians… Why change the Word in Hebrew if it is in Hebrew? why why why?
    Revelation 22:18 
    I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book,

  6. Yes when it comes to meaning…Islam say: Allah named believers…as muslimeen mumi neen and idaadAllah..

    Nowhere is chirstain even mentioned..
    Even to reffer to ..and considered believers in quran.
    They are called nasarah

  7. The truth is, I hate the bible was ever translated, went from a HEBREWIC CULTURE TO "CHRISTIANITY " SOMETHING THAT HAS CAME TO RULE WITH SUPREMACY AND EVERYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF STILL TODAY.
    JIM I BEEN A BROTHER TO YOU IN SPIRIT FROM GATE, NOT YOU

  8. The Sect was called Natsarim.
    Acts 24:5
    For we are having found this man a pest, and stirring insurrection among all the Jews in the world, and a leader of the sect of the Nazarenes.
    John 15:15
    I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.
