Not Unitarians, Mormons, or JWs, that's for sure. Those are heretical movements.
 
In my walk with God I am beginning to see it doesn't matter which "church" or which "movement" or whatever. What matters is...

Is Your Name Written in the Lamb's Book of Life?

If it is then you are apart of His Body.
 
Denominations don't matter. It's Who you know that matters. If you know He's the Son of God, sent to save you from your sins by dying on the cross and rising on the third day that's what's important
 
Oh how come Denominations don't matter since all these Denominations believing are different than others!!!!!!

And what about UNITARIAN Christians who believe in one God and Jesus was no more than prophet.
Jesus (pbuh) was no more than a prophet, the trinity concept did not come about until hundreds of years later. The only reason the Trinitarian theology of Christianity lives today, is because the monotheistic Christians UNITARIAN Christians were murdered because they did not accept the polytheist.

Christianity is when people are following the CHRIST, thats what the word means, that should be very simple even for you to understand.

And you have just as many different branches in islam thats why your killing each other all over the world. And by worshipping allah your worshipping an idol the picture is very offensive, and doesn't prove a thing other than your ridiculous, it does not help bowing to allah 5 times a day he is an idol and will not help you the day of judgment so forget it and get ready for hell
YESHUA the PRINCE OF PEACE and stop insulting our GOD your doing it by insulting YESHUA

Christians do not follow jesus they Follow paul , constantine and the council of Nicea.
Jesus fasted on a regular basis and Fell on his face and prayed.
Jesus did not eat pork.
Jesus Worshipped the one GOD my GOD and your GOD.
jesus was circumcised.
jesus did not ask any to worship him.
Show me what Christians follow all this as you claim they follow Jesus.To rephrase what you said Chrsitians beleive in Jesus with Lip service that is as far as it Goes, the rest is paulinity and the Nicean creed.
Muslims follow jesus not Christians

Already explained that above - Unitarians are not Christians, they are heretics.

warner,

Christians do not follow jesus they Follow paul , constantine and the council of Nicea.
Christians follow Christ and the teachings of Paul which are consistent with Jesus's teachings.

Jesus fasted on a regular basis and Fell on his face and prayed.
And so do many Christians. :-?

Jesus did not eat pork.
He was a Jew.

Jesus Worshipped the one GOD my GOD and your GOD.
So do Christians.

jesus was circumcised.
Because he was a Jew.

jesus did not ask any to worship him.
But people did and he didn't chastize them for it.

Muslims follow jesus not Christians
Muslims do not follow the Jesus of the Bible.

Hi Warner:Your misunderstanding of Christianity and of Christ are understandable, as you are not Christian. Allow me to clarify-

1. I assume that by this you make the faulty assumption that Jesus did not delegate authority to specific men to establish and build the Church. The scriptures clearly demonstrate that He did. Paul's gospel was approved and agreed upon by even James, the most 'Jewish' of the Apostles. Likewise, Peter and John. So it is not Paul, but the Apostles- whom Christ clearly elected and empowered. Constantine sided with the Arians, and Trinitarian Christianity exists in spite of his shortcomings. Constantine called a council, bishops identified the faith once delivered at Nicea, at Constantinople, at Ephesus, and at Chalcedon.

2. We fast on a regular basis and do latreia worship. We were doing it long before you Muslims were- it seems only fitting to prostrate oneself before the King. We also lift holy hands to pray.

3. Jesus probably did not eat meat at all, except fish. His brother James was, to be sure, a vegetarian. Nonetheless, He said "it is not what a man puts in his mouth that defiles him, but what comes out." Dietary laws do not save a man- the faith of Christ does.

4. Jesus was and is One with One God. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Or, as David noted, the Father, speaking of the Son, said "thy throne, O God, is forever and ever."

5. Jesus was indeed circumcised. He went on to die and rise again so that the scripture might be realized that the hearts would be circumcised, not the outer flesh.

6. Jesus did not stop people from worshipping Him, whether in Matthew 28, or Thomas as he said "My Lord and my God."

7. I'm not sure how to answer this, it doesn't seem like a real question, but rather an attempted insult.

peace
Iakovos

You don't know me and therefore you don't know if I fast and you don't know if others fast do you know every single Christians on this planet? You also don't know if I eat pork or if I am circumcised do you? And once again I am a follow of Christ not Paul or anybody else YESHUA did not fall on HIS face and pray can you prove this? this is true that YESHUA was circumcised yes but the you se if you had understood what the Bible tell the Christians you could se that we the Christians was not required to be just that it was only for the Hebrew children not the converts. And when will you get it through your chick skull that we are called Christians because we do follow Christ.


Acts 15

1 And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
2 When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question. (all jews and some of them from the Sanhedrin)
3 And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren. ( here again the brethren all jews)
4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.
5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
6 And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter
.
7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;
9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11 But we believe that through the grace of the LORD Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
12 Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:
14 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,
16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:
17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.
18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.
19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood
.
21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
22 Then pleased it the apostles and elders with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas and Silas, chief men among the brethren:
23 And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia.
24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:
25 It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26 Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.

30 So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle:
31 Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.
32 And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.
And lets see what YESHUA has to say about one or two subject you claim we not do as followers of Christ.

Mark 7

14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:
15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
17 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;
19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.

21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

SO YOU SE THAT IT IS NOT WHAT YOU EAT THAT DEFILES YOU, BUT YOUR DEEDS ALL OF THESE THINGS MUHAMMAD WAS GUILTY OF AND YET HE DID NOT EAT PORK SO WHERE DOES IT LEAVE HIM?
SHALOM AND LOVE IN THE NAME OF YESHUA THE LIFE GIVER
 
Which islam;

the one that beats women for driving?
the one that gets pilots licenses to kill thousands?
the one that videotapes beheadings?
the one that martyrs thousands of Christians and Jews?
the one that covers up the archeological evidence surrounding the temple mount?
the one that makes their women cover all but their eyes?
the one that kills their families for not remaining a muslim?

Or is it the super fluffy version that most muslims want us to believe is truly representative of them?




I for one rejoice that I have brothers and sisters who attend other buildings. I will be in eternity with my Orthodox, Baptist, Presbyterian, Catholic, Lutheran, AOG, etc. etc. family. We will worship our Lord together forever and not care what building one another came from. The Body is made of many different parts. We all are important to the complete frame though.

Christianity should not have any denominations, all these sub-religions blind people, they say the satanic mormons are Christians, yet they don't believe Christ was their saviour.
 
hahaha...Christ_is_great, you think humans of different races came from different colours of soil, so I wouldn't be criticizing the mormons...
 
asimov,do you know how many similar chemicals can be found in soil as well as the human body? maybe you should do your research

so 'Christians' , what is christianity?

- Being regenerated by the Spirit of God.
- Accepting the free gift of God's Grace.
- Living dead unto flesh and alive unto God.

With exception to Unitarians and JWs, I think there are true born-again Christians in all those groups, even LDS.
