A Christian is a man or woman who believes the gospel of Jesus Christ and has accepted Him as Lord. Is God a man that He has to believe the gospel? |

This question is tantamount to asking," Is God a disciple of Jesus Christ?!" |

Menobista: No God is NOT a Christian and CANNOT be. Google def of Christian: A person who has received Christian baptism or is a believer in Jesus Christ and his teachings. 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. - Acts 11:26 |

God is love and truth, if christian is love and truth, then God is a christian. |

when Jesus came down to the world, He led by example to His disciples through His total ways of living a life worthy to emulate. when He left, people sees such characters in the life of the followers of Jesus which stimulate them to be calling His disciples Christian that is Christ-like people. with this, anyone who emulate Him in behaviour and life totality are referred to as Christian. God is the Christian Himself. |

Is Allah a moslem? Is Sango an idol worshipper? God is not a Christian, but an embodiment of all christians values, those who follow those values are known as Christians. God himself is that value. |

ifeness: Nope. For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, - Hebrew 6:13 This is why For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. - Hebrew 6:16 ...Since there is none greater than God. |

NumberOne2: Poor follower of Venetian religion. You are nothing but a Pagan without you knowing 1 Like |
Re: Friends, Is God A Christian? by NumberOne2(m): 11:56am On Jun 24, 2015 |
ifeness: Google def: Venetian: of or relating to Venice or its people. Pagan: a person holding religious beliefs other than those of the main world religions. Again you are wrong. Christianity did not begin in Venice. However, I perceive you were a Catholic before becoming an Atheist. Also from the def of Pagan above, Atheist are the pagans. |
Re: Friends, Is God A Christian? by Nobody: 12:53pm On Jun 24, 2015 |
NumberOne2: I am no Catholic and never was. Can you kindly tell me why you acknowledge Christmas and Easter? Including the 12 Zodiac signs aka 12 disciples of Jesus/SUN,Virgin birth and ritually drinking the blood of Jesus/Horus. Why is your Jesus's story similar to Horus's? I could go on with all the bullshit. 2 Likes 1 Share |
Re: Friends, Is God A Christian? by NumberOne2(m): 1:33pm On Jun 24, 2015 |
ifeness: We celebrate what we acknowledge. On that basis: Christmas: The birth of Jesus [not the exact date]. (I am sure you celebrate the birthdays of folks close to you) Easter: Ressurection of Jesus. (Celebration of our hope & His victory over death. Just like celebrate Independence or Democracy day) Well, I don't know about Jesus and Horus comparism. Questions for you: If Jesus disciples are the 12 zodiac signs, which sign is Judas? How the Earth was formed? |
Re: Friends, Is God A Christian? by Nobody: 2:05pm On Jun 24, 2015 |
NumberOne2: So you don't know the date?? Meaning you have no clue if it was Pagan originated or not. I don't celebrate birthdays because they mean nothing to me. Resurrection of Jesus was actually for the resurrection of the Sun hidden in Rome created christianity. How could you even celebrate what you are not sure of? Judas symbolized Scorpio(kiss of death) Apparently non of those guys existed. According to the Bible, the water bearer is the Age of Aquarius which you probably have no clue of. This is why I keep say Christianity an a cult and Christians are clueless. 1 Like |

If we say Buhari is not a Nigerian though he is the one ruling this country,then we are clueless of who we are! |
Re: Friends, Is God A Christian? by NumberOne2(m): 2:50pm On Jun 24, 2015 |
ifeness: There are many grand parents who cannot remember their birthdays due to poor documentation, however the period is known. Does that mean we should ignore such elders because we are not sure? Apostle Luke documents the PERIOD of Christ's birth, the rulers at the time and all that. Besides, what will it matter is you knew the exact date? Will it change the fact that He was born or died? Did you stop to think that there are 12 disciples: - because of the 12 tribes of Israel - 12 hours of daylight or night - because Jesus just wanted 12? There are many things that are 12. Besides, Apostle Luke accounts that there were 120 disciples at the time of Pentecost. There was a time Jesus had over 70 followers. So what does this 70 or 120 represent? Oh please! Google def: Cult: a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object. Refering to the def above, Christianity can be called a cult. You didn't answer my question on creation. How was the Earth formed? |
Re: Friends, Is God A Christian? by Nobody: 3:16pm On Jun 24, 2015 |
NumberOne2: There is no Evidence Luke wrote anything. How come the books of Luke and Matthew contradicted each other a lot? Besides there weren't written in first person singular. Reading the book of Luke did not strike anyone as if he wrote it but rather a story written by a third party. Why should you believe the stories of a man who had no evidence of the day he was born. It should have at least been documented since other aspects of his life were documented....like irrelevant stories of turning water in to wine. How was the world created? The world wasn't created. Just like a Volcanic mountains were formed from molten magma and collusion of gases a planet like our out of trillions was formed. ABOUT THE ZODIAC SIGNS. Egyptians founded the system of a Twelve-God theology: Euterpe iv. The Hebrews certainly at times worshipped the Sun, Moon, seven planets, and the Star Rulers of the Twelve Zodiacal Signs. Christianity isn't origin and was borrowed from other religion. 1 Like |
Re: Friends, Is God A Christian? by NumberOne2(m): 5:20pm On Jun 24, 2015 |
ifeness: Refering to the BOLDED: Collision of gases formed trees, birds, 70% water on the planet, giraffes and man. Can order come out of chaos? Hmmm, I guess my Car (far less complex than Earth) wasn't created. It just came into being by collision of metals, plastic, rubber, oils and water over time. Try telling that to a 5 year old. About the Copying: I can only say that the similarities between various cultures may be a proof of common ancestory as in the Tower of Babel. True, Christianity is not the first "religion". ...but let me agree with you for a moment that some stuff were copied. Does this copying now invalidate it? Bill Gates didn't develop the first software, Apple didn't develop the first phone and Toyota didn't develop the first car. They copied from somewhere so do we throw Apple, Microsoft ane Toyota products away as COPIED trash? 1 Like |

NumberOne2: Have you ever wondered why thousands of "holy" books were burn around the world that showed christianity is copy-cat? At least you know your religion is man-made 1 Like |
Re: Friends, Is God A Christian? by NumberOne2(m): 9:48pm On Jun 24, 2015 |
ifeness: No. I didn't say it was man-made. I said "let me agree with you for a MOMENT". Christianity is based on the birth, life, death and ressurection of Jesus (the son of God). Nothing man-made about that. As for the burning of books, you know that many Christians and Bibles were burnt also. Was this also due to copying? |
Re: Friends, Is God A Christian? by Nobody: 10:46pm On Jun 24, 2015 |
NumberOne2: You are obviously a man of one book ain't you? You don't seem to think outside of it. |
Re: Friends, Is God A Christian? by NumberOne2(m): 11:20pm On Jun 24, 2015 |
ifeness: I have thought outside it. Comparing some of its truths with Science. Its amazing how the Bible holds truths that science is just discovering. The one that surprises me most in the book of Job. He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. - Job 26:7 How could this man have possibly known that the Earth hangs on nothing? Amazing. |
Re: Friends, Is God A Christian? by Nobody: 11:28pm On Jun 24, 2015 |
NumberOne2: Job had nothing to do with Christianity. You can always find stories with Hollywood endings and fit them into the bible. Job just like Isaiah had an encounter with Extraterrestrials who genetically manipulated humanoids on this planet. Have you ever wondered what Genesis 3;22 meant? You don't seem to understand what you read. |
Re: Friends, Is God A Christian? by NumberOne2(m): 10:40am On Jun 25, 2015 |
ifeness: No Hollywood story here. The book of Job is over 3,000 years old. If you are calling God and Angels ET's that I may accept (depending on context). |
Re: Friends, Is God A Christian? by Nobody: 12:24pm On Jun 25, 2015 |
NumberOne2: Job's story was originally a Sumerian story hijacked into the Bible. |
Re: Friends, Is God A Christian? by NumberOne2(m): 11:13am On Jun 26, 2015 |
ifeness: Hmmm, just like Jesus 12 disciples and 12 zodiac signs. How about King David and King Solomon, where were they copied from? Since you have set your mind that the bible is a copy, you will always see it that way. How about the point of view that man had a common ancestory (Adam & Noah) and that Job was probably the weathest man in his time. It will be no surprise that his story will be spread around into various cultures at the time. Many cultures have stories of the great flood. How come? I see it as common ancestory from Noah, you see it as copying. So my friend, where do those 2 lines of thought meet? Finally about Jesus & Horus I said I didn't know. I did some research. There is even a video on it. http://beginningandend.com/jesus-copy-horus-mithras-dionysis-pagan-gods/ And for those who believe that can prove the claims of Zeitgeist there is a chance to win money at the website http://zeitgeistchallenge.com/ (no one has won yet). 1 Like 1 Share |
