CHRIST AND CHRISTIANS

 






The apostle John wrote:

Who says "I know him" but does not follow His commandments, is a liar, and there is NOT true; and who respects his word, truly the love of God made: from this we learn that in him. Who says that dwells in him, he should walk as he walked.

1 John 2.4-6

Hence the conclusion that those who do not come to the teachings of Christ, in vain to call themselves Christians and in vain their prayers to Him ( Luke 6.46, Matthew 7.23 ). How unfortunate to hear someone who was a Christian and lived in a Christian way: I NEVER DIDN’T KNOW YOU. Depart from me, who practice lawlessness.

Because to not be bitterly disappointed and regret later, check whether OUR LIFE to the TEACHINGS of Christ.

 

Even in ancient times have been instructed to keep the commandments of God ( Deut 4.2 ).

But people ignored them ( Matthew 15.3, 7-9). The Jews at that time replaced the word of God in human myths.

When we enter into the life and teachings of Christians, then we see that here the same thing happened.

 

The difference in the doctrine of Christ and Christians

 

Christ taught to worship God in spirit and truth of God ( Psalm 119.86, John 4.21-23 ).  It should be guided by the second commandment  ( Exodus 20.4-5 ).

 

In the Church of the ancient Christians did not have any images. But gradually this "artificial matter" into the Church. First icons belong to the III-IV century. First icon makers of sparking mass protests by Christians (icon-fighters movement). But language strategic influence prevailed, icons-fighters were declared heretics and icon-ministry makers of was legitimized in 787, the seventh Ecumenical Council.

 

Christ never abolished Saturday and not introducing the celebration of another day. On the contrary, he commanded to keep this commandment.

The celebration of the first day of the week (day of the Sun) was introduced by Emperor Constantine in 321, and legitimized by the Laodikia Cathedral in 364.

 

Nowhere in Scripture does not refer to the worship of the cross and "procession with the sign".

The worship of the cross was introduced by Emperor Constantine in 328 ad. The sign appeared in the 360, in the times of Bishop Miletius, and approved in the year 680. It would replace a baptism by faith ( Mark 16.16 ).

 

The Christians introduced rites, and many others not mentioned in the Gospel:

The IV century the veneration of relics and remains of the dead, a pilgrimage to the Holy places,

the erection of magnificent temples; wearing gold vestments of priests

(modern look they got 600 g.); the prayer "Theotokos"

545 - introduced by Vigiliusom light candles at the church service, even on a clear day, and 604, this became a sacred rite

532 - Pope Boniface introduced the rite to pray only facing East

813 - set "assumption of the Virgin"

682 - sprinkled water entered

370 - written "liturgy of St. Basil the great"

 

In addition, the prayer to the dead and funeral services.

But given a warning not to contact the dead, because they know nothing and can help the living, what God said through the Prophet (Isaiah 8.19-20).

Nevertheless, many Christians have begun to refer to the dead at the end of the 2nd century.

The end III century entered the funeral services, and at the end of the IX century approved by

337 - during the time of Bishop Julius introduced the censing incense

550 - entered Holy unction (extreme unction) before his death

6TH century - invented the doctrine of purgatory

993 - entered the reckoning as a Saint "

 

Christ expounded His teachings clear and understandable ( John 17.6-8 ).

The same Christian leaders were quite different. In 600, entered service on the incomprehensible God-language, and in 1229, the Cathedral of Toulouse forbade the laity to read the Bible.

 

Other anti-Christian ruling the Eastern and Western Churches:

715 - adoration of the Virgin Mary and all the Saints

809 - the kissing of the feet of the Pope

1013 - the celibacy of the clergy (the Catholics)

1204 - trials against "heretics"

12th century - Inquisition torture

 

Sins according to the Scriptures, confess before God  ( Acts 20.21 ).

In 1123, the Lateran Cathedral installed a confession to a priest.

This is wrong, because if we have sinned before God, then it should repent. If we have sinned against the Middle should also confess to proceedings before him and ask forgiveness ( Jacob 5.16 ).

 

The emergence of such false doctrine predicted Apostles ( 2 Pet 2.1, Acts 20.30, 2 Tim 3.13 ).

These false teachers, unfortunately, happened to attract millions of people. And it is not surprising that among the Christians there is neither peace nor love nor good relations, and the constant strife and fratricide.

 

Today God is departed from it people to:

Thus says the Lord: stay on your own and consider, and ask about the ways of the ancients, where the good way is, and walk on it, and you will find rest for your souls.

Jeremiah 6.16

If you abide in My Word, you are truly my disciples, and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

John 8.31-32
