Is Christianity in the Bible?

[Richard Aberdeen]

IS christanity mentioned in the bible . Well if one means this inclusive ecmeincal christainity i do see
fillng up tons of churches ., THE ANSWER IS YES .
its mentioned under the section , FALLING AWAY .

The modern term "religion" is a very loaded word and means different things to different people. If by "religious", you mean someone who depends on God to help them, then Jesus is the most religious person who ever lived. If by "religion", you mean Christianity, Buddhism, Islam or some other organized religion, then Jesus is the least religious person in history; Jesus deliberately ate, drank and associated with some of the worst thought of people of his time, while railing against the religious leaders of his society, as he undoubtedly would today if he physically walked the streets of modern-day America or Europe.

 

[Richard Aberdeen]

Paul often speaks of doctrine:

Rom_6:17 But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered.
Rom_16:17 Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them.
Eph_4:14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting,
1Ti_1:3 As I urged you when I went into Macedonia—remain in Ephesus that you may charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
1Ti_1:10 for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine,
1Ti_4:6 If you instruct the brethren in these things, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished in the words of faith and of the good doctrine which you have carefully followed.
1Ti_4:13 Till I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
1Ti_4:16 Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
1Ti_5:17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine.
1Ti_6:1 Let as many bondservants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and His doctrine may not be blasphemed.
1Ti_6:3 If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness,
2Ti_3:10 But you have carefully followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance,
2Ti_3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
2Ti_4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;

Paul speaks of teaching, a common secular Greek word. The Middle English word "doctrine" is greatly misused and abused in modern Christian pulpits, pretending some manner of religious connotation where there is none in the NT, written in secular koine Greek.

The modern term "religion" is a very loaded word and means different things to different people. If by "religious", you mean someone who depends on God to help them, then Jesus is the most religious person who ever lived. If by "religion", you mean Christianity, Buddhism, Islam or some other organized religion, then Jesus is the least religious person in history; Jesus deliberately ate, drank and associated with some of the worst thought of people of his time, while railing against the religious leaders of his society, as he undoubtedly would today if he physically walked the streets of modern-day America or Europe.

Did you copy this from a dictionary or an AI tool?

The format is a bit weird, and you used the inflected form didaskalias instead of the root noun didaskalia.
Besides, the New Testament writers absolutely used that word to talk about divine instruction vs human traditions, so it definitely carries religious weight in proper context.

you ever notice that these so called greek wise scholars
and their greek always seems to contradict one the others .
I HAVE . as for me I STICK TO THE BIBLE . MY WISE ONE is THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD
and HE can teach me as i need to know about the very THINGS HE DID INSPIRE in that bible .
Just saying . I watch you all war all the time over this greek root and that one .
What i seem to notice is it seems leaders simply used greek to expound upon their own man made doctrines .
THAT is what i noticed and real quickly too . we had SDA greek , JW greek , pentcostal greek
OSAS greek , And you name it they done cliaimedit .
SO Miss gray joy its time to flee it and anything ecumeincal.
What is dead may never die , but what is d ead will never live LEST IT COMETH TO JESUS and rejects its sins
and lives no more in pleaure . For he or she who liveth in pleasure IS DEAD while he or she do live in it .

I never said that term "christian" isn't in the Bible. I said Christianity as a religion isn't in the Bible. Modern Christianity isn't remotely the same as what Peter wrote or any other biblical author wrote. Jesus doesn't equal Christianity any more than Trump equals Truth.

Your general rhetoric was enough...

Richard Aberdeen said, and I quote:

"Other than it's use in Acts twice as noted, the word "christian" only appears one other time in the Bible: "Yet if anyone suffers as a christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter" 1 Peter 4:16. One should never confuse what it meant to be called a 'christian' at the time this was written, with well-fed and palatially housed televised frauds, clothed in clownish so-called 'sacred' attire and flying around in personal jets, nor confuse this with any form of modern Christianity."​

True Christians don't confuse theirselves with the false prophets that exist. Just because they use the term also does not mean they merit the term. Thus trying to compare materialistic flavors with the word Christian like you did, shows simply that you are barking up the wrong tree, so to speak.

And by the way, true Capitalism is GOD's WAY. It means free enterprise, and not an economy controlled by a Socialist State. The people of United States used to have a free enterprise economy, until Satan's host sneaked in and stole its monetary policies. God showed in Isaiah that He will correct this in His future Kingdom...

Isa 65:21-23
21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.

22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of My people, and Mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.

23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the Lord, and their offspring with them.
KJV

Your statement above I put in 'red' reveals to me that you may not be a citizen of the United States, or from Europe.

Where do you originate?

 

[Gray_Joy]

The term "christian" in the Bible, is not remotely the same as modern Christianity. True religion that is acceptable to God is defined in James 1:27, which again, is not remotely the same as modern Christianity.

You're focusing on the wrong thing.

You focus on contemporary terms,and claim they do not rightly depict what is Gods ideal.
But then you reference a text about what you think is faith in the Christ,written in a book, canonized by men over hundreds of years.

God is a Spirit.

I do not use AI to write anything and I don't have much respect for people who do. My writing is based on extensive study in the Bible, Encyclopedia Britannica, scientific and other credible sources. What the Greek actually means is of paramount importance, rather than what a modern translation says.

Falling away refers to falling away from the good news of Jesus and from walking in his free grace. It has nothing in common with Christianity.

There is no such thing as "doctrines" in the Greek New Testament. The Greek refers to what is true and what is false, good teaching and false teaching, what is right and what is wrong regarding human behavior. Jesus focuses on human behavior more than anything else.

well just remember it aint the first time one came
and tried to attack the KJV and claimed it was a corrupt version
AND THEN CLIAMED GOD GAVE HIM special revelation to KNOW GREEK
so he could rewrite a new bible .
Seems to me the ol sit under our greek to learn , JUST aint so new after all .
As far as these modern versions , I wont suggest them .
Though i wont accuse someone who reads them of going to hell either . I would just
try and get them back into the KJV .
The older translations . AND as far as this dead sea scrolls stuff
YEAH i would NOT be heeding that mess either .
And this big ado about having to know KOINE GREEK , yeah i darn sure would not heed that mess either .
SOME of us arleady did long and extensive research the old fashoined way .
As in books in a library . as in learning all about the h istory of our own english langauge .
SOMEONE LIED to us all when they said The writers of the KJV and others
DIDNT have this or that . DIDNT KNOW the greek we so called know today .
THEY baffooned you all my friend . THERE has indeed been an agenda at work
for q uite some time my friend .
And it has come in under the guise that it IS LOVE and IS OF GOD but it be of satan and of the world .
SO beware of that inclusive unity ecumeincal bridge building tearing down wall interfaith of anti christ dialgoue .
THEY LIE TO US ALL . And boy do i mean THEY LIE to us all and they lied to the false religoins too .
THEY LIED . And we sheep DO NOT HEED the voice of a liar .
Hope that encouraged you my friend .

There is no such thing as "doctrines" in the Greek New Testament. The Greek refers to what is true and what is false, good teaching and false teaching, what is right and what is wrong regarding human behavior. Jesus focuses on human behavior more than anything else.

If doctrines is taken to mean teachings, the NT is loaded with doctrines. You just do not like the word doctrines, or Christians, or Christianity, so you rant against them.

Jesus’ teachings focused on characteristics of the kingdom of heaven, His own attributes and value, true worship, the power of faith, the importance of prayer, the nature of His Father, managing the mind, aspects of the afterlife, proper relationships in the assembly of believers, and virtuous human behavior.

THEY DO as they DO and DID as they did for one simple reason .
TO break down from within ALL religions . YES even the false religoins and YES EVEN CHRISTENDOM .
The new religoin
Was reshaped into a religoin THAT ALL religons , tribes and tongues will see as GOOD , AS LOVE and EVEN OF GOD .
Less and less was the emphasis put on FAITH IN JESUS
and more and more was it put on HEY just love thy neighbor , feed the poor .
WHICH they did to all religoins . THEY BROKE THEM DOWN by removing CORE fundmanetal DOCTRINES .
THEY made it seem as though DOCTRINE was in the way , divisive , and they focused on a worldly
version of love and of good works .
Till in time they had removed much of doctrine and had replaced it with the image of a god and of a love
THAT ALL RELIGOINS will see as B EING OF GOD .
Folks hate DOCTRINE . folks hate words like Christain and etc
CAUSE ITS TOO My way , they need a collective OUR WAY . so yes they even did this within the false religoins .
THEIR plan was to remove ANYTHING that made any religoin and its followers , SEE a
WE ARE ONE with the world , rather t han a , HEY THIS IS THE ONLY WAY .
AND as you now see , THAT MEANS THEY BOOTED OUT JESUS too . but the sheep DO NOT HEED THEM .

what you seen is not new .
REMOVE ABSOLUTE TRUTH , LIQUIFY IT , THEN RESHAPE IT INTO THEIR ABSOLUTE .
communism One O one .
THEY DID THIS TO the religoins too .
They broke down and remolded the image of a god that the world and its religoins can embrace and love and call GOD .
Its why way back we also seen v idoes
on the prayer of pope francis that had buddist , muslim , greek orthdox , catholic , hindu
AND ALL SAYING GOD IS LOVE . as IF THEY EVEN SERVE the same GOD we do or EVEN KNOW HIS LOVE .
the devil is a wise one . buT THANKS BE TO GOD and TO HIS CHRIST he keeps THE SHEEP
from being decieved . Very wise that one is my friend . ANd when he speaks
he does so as though ITS ALWAYS FOR THE GOOD of humanity , WHEN ITS REALLY ONLY for their own destruction .
HE is a liar . HE has always desired the death of humanity . ITS WHY HE LIED TO EVE
and its why HE LIES to christendom and the false religoins
and says , SURELY YE SHALL NOT PERISH if you beleive not ON JESUS
HEY we all serve the same GOD , OH BUT HE IS A LIAR .

wanna example .
Look at what they did to the churches some time back .
THEY said we dont need to focus on doctrine but rather what we have in common .
That led to rather than what paul said TO MARK THOSE WHO CAUSE DIVISIONS IN THE DOCTRINE YE HAVE LEARNED
and AVOID THEM ,
TO hey it dont matter on our doctrinal differences , mark those who cause division IN OUR UNITY
and call them out as haters and dividers .
I Did tell us the devil is quite wise . THEIR UNITY is not at all based on THE DOCTRINE OF JESUS
and later of the apostels . THEIR UNITY is based on , HEY lets just find common ground and be one .
AND NOW Look at what that led too . NOW THEY DOING it with the false religions too .
LIke i said , REMOVE absolute truth , liquify it , then remold and reshape it into an absolute .
THEIR abosolute is now LOVE , AND THEY BELEIVE ITS THE LOVE OF GOD . but no it aint .
HERE IS THE LOVE OF GOD .
THIS IS THE LOVE OF GOD that WE KEEP HIS commandments . And what
was HIS commandment , TO BELEIVE ON JESUS and to love one another .
ONLY take a lil peek a boo , THEY REMOVE THE BELEIVE ON JESUS part
and just merge with all religons as one . KINDA odd dont ya think .
THIS generation says GOD IS LOVE more than any other generation i have seen in all my life.
AND YET Knows Neither GOD OR HIS LOVE . like i said the devil is quite wise
and he can say GOD IS LOVE , but oh man is he gonna twist this . and HE did and so did his co workers .

and b oy did they change the gospel of YE MUST ABSOLUTELY BELIEVE IN JESUS
into
a gospel that sure seems socialized to me and only preaches on doing some good works
BUT NOT ON FAITH IN JESUS . and now their gospel has become
THE PLAN OF HOW TO ATTAIN WORLD PEACE . and they THINK this is of GOD and HIS PLAN of PEACE .
why me oh my . IF It were OF GOD
then WHY DID IT REMOVE THE DIRE NEED TO BLEIEVE ON JESUS and lie to all false religoins and chrisetendom .
The peace of GOD is , the preaching of the gospel so that all who DO BELEIVE IN JESUS
can be reconciled to and have PEACE WITH GOD . No my friend this peace plan is of someone else entirely .
And yes it can claim to bE GOD and claim this is OF GOD too . HE always did desire both the worship as GOD
and the destruction of humanity . WELL HERE IT COMES .
This peace plan is not going to bring heaven on earth . IT HAS DENIED FAITH IN JESUS .
HERE is what its going to bring FROM heaven Down upon earth , THE WRATH OF GOD and OF THE LAMB
who its peace n s af ety plan DENIED . I am only trying to help this people my friend .
And contrary to what they say , DOCTRINE DOES MATTER . TO CALL GOD A LIAR is not good at all .
