"Christian", by definition in every dictionary I have come across means 1) One who professes belief in the teachings of Jesus Christ.
The base of the meaning of the word, Christian is Christ.
John Chapter one describes John the Baptist's experience in baptizing Jesus and the revealing of Jesus as the Messiah.
Fortunately, the teachings of Jesus have been documented, authenticated and justified in history as well as in the manuscripts that compose the King James Bible.
There are even cassette tapes, video tapes, and audio CDs that are now available for people to use as study aids.
WHY don't people study for themselves? People need to study to have a relationship with God for themselves, otherwise they revert back to the mis-teachings of the Pharisees and scribes from the days of Jesus, the Christ.
And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
Jesus stated, "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
) Jesus is the teacher.
) Jesus is making a statement to the religious rulers and leaders of that time, the scribes and Pharisees.
) Jesus is telling the scribes and the Pharisees that they are hypocrites! 4.

Jesus came to uncover the TRUTH that had been hidden from the people by the religious leaders and rulers.
Jesus wanted every person to know the TRUTH so that it would set them free.

It is necessary for individuals to study the art or discipline they wish to perfect so as not to be a novice at it.
If this is true with municipal principalities and with professions that govern a persons life and well being, then it should also be true with our spiritual well-being.
We know the enemy attacks the mind and the goal is to get you to think that what God says is not the truth.
The devil tried to get Jesus to accept a lie, but Jesus was able to quote the Word of God to the devil each time he was tempted and the Holy Ghost remained his guide.
This is the same Holy Ghost that God has sent for us; all we have to do is receive it.
The title of "Christian" was given by those outside the group of followers of Jesus to describe what they knew about the story of "The Christ" from Jewish writings regarding the Messiah and the Christ.
During this time in history, the people who actually followed the teachings of Jesus were being persecuted by both the Roman church and the Jewish Synagogue leaders.
This is why they persecuted those that practiced the teachings of Jesus.
The dominant religious political groups were losing power over the people who began to know the truth by truly studying the Old Testament writings held by the Jews and the New Testament writings about what Jesus taught.
Jesus never alienated anyone or any group.
" Romans 9:16 says, "So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy.
What matters is the TRUTH and the Holy Spirit of God being able to dwell in you.
This is why it is crucial for each person to have a personal relationship with God through knowing and understanding the truth that Jesus died on the cross and rose again on the third day to full fill prophecy so that many would believe in the TRUTH.
Let's face it.
Believing in God and knowing his commandments is not the only thing that needs to be done though.
The truth is we will never be able to be perfect while we are living in our flesh.
Read John chapter 15:24-25.
The truth is God wants all to know the truth and to be saved from sin.
The Loveless Church
The Persecuted Church
The Lenient Church
The Compromising Church
The Lifeless Church
The Obedient Church
The Lukewarm Church
God was only pleased with two (2) of these churches: The Persecuted Church and the Obedient Church.
This is important for us, the believers in Jesus and his teachings to understand.
Don't be blind and accept a lie, know the truth and act accordingly.
