It is generally believed and taught that Christianity was founded by the Savior from Nazareth, when He was on earth. But a question immediately arises, which particular sect was the one He originated ? This is very important, for any thinking person knows that of the thousands of sects making up Christendom, no two agree entirely. Naturally, the Savior did not inaugurate so many conflicting divisions. The Roman Catholic Church claims to be the one and only church of God, the true bride of Christ, and that all Protestant sects are heretics. On the other hand, the Protestants deride the Catholic Church as the harlot mother of Revelation 17; 5, not knowing that the same text condemns them likewise.

Those that are acquainted with the facts know Christendom is made up of Christian nations, whose faith was founded not by the Savior of Nazareth, but by pagan philosophers a generation after the death of Messiah's immediate followers. Christianity is an apostate, as we can readily prove. The denominations, sects, churches or factions, which make up Christianity, are not followers of the Savior of the world. The doctrine He taught, the life He lived, the worship He practiced, are not those of modern Christianity.

Christianity is Hellenic paganism, nationalized by Roman emperors for national solidarity. It was molded from the doctrines of Plato, Socrates and the Gnostic Grecian philosophers. PlatoChristianity is but a newer name of the old religion of the philosophers. It is molded after them in doctrine, in practice, in worship and in name !

The Encyclopedia Britannica has this to say relative to this appeasement policy of the ( apostate ) church:

" Nothing perhaps has tended more thoroughly to corrupt Christianity than the introduction into it of superstitions which are really pagan themselves, or have been suggested by pagan practices. Paganism, unable to oppose Christianity successfully, had done much to corrupt it, and in numberless ways had made inroads into its purity."

Christianity, as such, was not firmly established as a religion until the time of Constantine the Great, who needed a national religion to solidify his empire. ( Same as Jeroboam 1 Kings 12; 26-33 ) He, therefore, adopted the new religion then going into apostasy, and made it into a national sect. He not only caused its acceptance as the one and only religion of the empire, but he formulated its policies, and caused to be accepted its doctrines, and stigmatized as Constantine the Great heretics those who would not accept the new religion, banishing them from his kingdom, or putting them to death. Anyone may verify the above by referring to any religious encyclopedia on the life of Constantine. Thus began the Roman Catholic Church, from whence sprang the church daughters making up the sects of Christianity.

When the Messiah was born into the world, His mother was a maid of Israel, of the tribe of Judah. He was born into a holy household, one which worshiped the Almighty according to the doctrine and ritual given by the Most High through the Holy Spirit to the prophets. There is not one iota of evidence in New Testament records that the Savior ever departed from the religion of his people, which was the Scriptural worship of the prophets ( that is the Holy Scripture ), but, rather to obey them, fulfilling them in every yod and title. " Think not I am come to destroy, but to fulfill." - Matt. 5; 17.

He taught the same precepts of holiness, practiced the same life of righteousness, observed the same sacred feasts, hallowed the same weekly Sabbath day, as did the patriarchs and the prophets before Him. But, for the apostate church of His day, he emphasized the power of a life of holiness so lived that its influence would change the vilest sinner, making him whole in body and spirit again. It was the message of the prophets placed into practice of His life, and in the lives of His immediate followers. This life of holiness not only influenced individuals, but through them affected the course of nations, and remodeled the world, in a fashion. But the Savior died, then ascended, and His disciples carried on after Him, until they, too, died.

As long as the immediate followers of the Messiah lived, they patterned their doctrine and manner of life after that of their Savior, for they were mainly of the Jewish ( Judean is the correct word, and hereafter used as such ) nation, and from the Israelite faith. They continued to live, to teach, to worship, as true Israelites, following the example of their Master.

Concerning Philo, Eusebius says, " Moreover, from His very accurate description of the life of our ascetics it will be plain that he not only knew but welcomed, reverenced, and recognized the divine mission of the apostolic men of his day, who were, it appears, of Hebrew origin, and thus still preserved most of the ancient customs in a strictly Israelite manner."

Eusebiud is speaking of Philo's treatise, " On the Contemplative life of Suppliants." Book 11, Chap. xvii - Eusebius, " Ecclesiastical History." After the destruction of Jerusalem, in the year 70, the Judeans were dispersed ( as prophesied by Messiah in Matt. 12; 30) into all parts of the Roman Empire; and the disciples of the Messiah, being of the tribe of Benjamin, were scattered with the others. With them, these disciples took pristine faith, which they had received from the Savoir. They formed assemblies wherever they went, and so the true faith was sown throughout the world.

Hegisippus says, " Until then ( 106 or 107 A.D. at the martyrdom of Symenon ) the church remained a pure and uncorrupted virgin, for those who attempted to corrupt the healthful rule of the Savior's preaching if they existed at all, lurked in obscure darkness. But when the sacred band of the Apostles and the generation of those to whom it had been vouchsafe to hear with their own ears the divine wisdom had reached the several ends of their lives, then the federation of godless error took its beginning through the deceit of false teachers, who, seeing that none of the Apostles still remained, barefacedly tried against the preaching of the trust the counter -proclamation of knowledge, falsely so-called." Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History, Book 111, Chap. xxxii.

From among the nations where they were scattered, the true believers gathered proselytes to their true faith, and so the assemblies grew in members made up from the various nationalities mixed with believers from the nation of Judah. These new numbers, however, had been connected with other religions then, just as it is now. And then, as now, there was no salvation in them ! When these converts came into the fold from the pagan religions they neglected to leave all their former beliefs behind, but often brought their paganistic doctrines and practices into the true fold.

what do you think?

God doesn't see us as Christians because He never gave us that identity the reference Christians was given to the disciples by the none Christians meaning follower of Christ (Grk:christianos)
Acts 11:26
"And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch"

JESUS DIDN'T COME TO DISCOVER CHRISTIANITY HE CAME TO GIVE LIFE "John 10:10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have[ it] more abundantly"

The term "followers of Christ" doesn't successfully, completely and satisfactorily describe who we truly are. We are more than just followers we are heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ not even co-heirs.
Romans 8:16-17
"The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint- heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with[ him], that we may be also glorified together"

Thx, newmi 4 d reply.

I just want to point out that dilluminati needs to clear his head so as to enable him find d truth more quickly, 'cos he actually began by mixing 'discovering' with 'founding'. He then goes on to give a long and conflicting opinion of christianity. The story about Constantine is true though.

D name, dilluminati is intriguing 'cos it represents d enlightened, elite sect used by d Holy See to unleash terror on or summarily eliminate those who opposed its policies or dissents from d Catholic faith.

Anyway, if U seek the true God, Jesus is d way!

jesus invented christianity. even a kid noes dat.
