What Denomination Was Jesus?

But Jesus knew what was in their hearts, and he would not let them have power over him. No one had to tell him what people were like. He already knew. John 2:24-25 Contemporary English Version (CEV)
 
I think we're all playing on the theme, how ridiculous it is to think of Jesus as being involved in denominationalism:

I'm a Methodist, there is a method to approaching God

I'm a Baptist, I believe in being baptized

I'm a Pentecostal, I believe in the power of Pentecost

I'm a Catholic, I believe in the universality of the Church

I'm Apostolic, I believe in the foundation of the Apostles

Emmanuel was a Jew. There is that which says Emmanuel was Essene, which is a sect of Judaism. However they did not appear until second temple. Which was after Emmanuel.

Agree but imo there are many factors , such as some limit God and refuse to grow, some are used for refuge to escape from overbearing others, some may be poorer but richer in dependence day to day on God and need to worship uninhibited , some may be richer and not as dependent on God day to day per se' but able to raise more money for ministry, and in my case I was reading about the gifts of the Spirit and my home church said the gifts stopped with the apostles and at that time I just nodded and said to myself ''I'll search it out for myself before I'll take anybody's word for it'' .. And I've gleaned good stuff from most all denominations I've attended and visited, but not all what I needed for me .. I would never accuse any ''born again'' Jesus believing/teaching based church or member of being inferior to another but thankful , because they build churches and maintain them in Jesus name and are there for us all when we need them .. Luke 21:1-4

Good stuff, Brother! It reminds me of Psalm 133, "behold how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity"

(And since we don't have the gender neutral in English, we can add "Sistren," lol)

Cessationism. That's the name for the belief that the gifts passed away with the Apostles. I trust you got away from that? Not a Salvific issue though, so I don't have to think worse of people that believe that way. But as for MY walk with the Lord? The gifts have sure helped a lot!!

I just asked in Bible Study why Jesus was considered a Jew and I discovered that it had absolutely nothing to do with being Jewish. It was because He hailed from Judea. So what kind of denomination was He anyway? What religion did He teach the deciples? I'm pretty sure it wasn't Catholic, (since I don't think He would pray to His mother, honoring her is different I know He did that) but I wonder if it was Baptist or my religion Methodist. Whatever He taught that has to be the right religion but what exactly was it? Maybe we'll never know and that's why we just get to choose what we want to believe.

i think the religion Jesus taught was love God with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself

imo if a person focuses just on these 2 points they will get everything else right

for myself i find when i slip away from these 2 points my religious beliefs become useless noise and fruitless action

good thread - God bless you
