It comes from my discussion with a rather bumptious atheist, who told me I was not aware of how "barbaric" Christianity is. I said "call me the barbarian, then." It caught on among the others on that board, and so it went. "Yeh ren" ( 野 人) or perhaps "Yeman ren" is the closest thing in Chinese.
But why it's in Chinese is another story; perhaps later.
Close, but wrong, again. Eastern Orthodox Christians are not the only orthodox believers. In fact they aren't even the largest segment of apostolic Christians.
Yeah He told me the same thing....and He was right....more people are martyred for their Christian faith than any denomination in history.
Seems kind of weird to judge someone’s faith by their avatar or online name. I do not worship trees....
Couldn't see a cross....but crosses represent many different religions in various forms.
Yehren says:
You seem to believe that Jesus meant that the secular world is His concern. It is not.
He repeatedly said that His kingdom was not of this world, telling his followers to render unto Caesar what is Caesar's.

aspen...really? But it's easy to judge someone by their character? Uhum I mean perceived character? You sound like a Democrat...the rules apply to others but not themselves.
It was originally a joke, to deflect the anger of an atheist. Then it just sort of grew from there. I was a Christian on a board with few of us among those of many other faiths or none at all. But barbarians were among the first of His followers after all.
So if Jesus tells us to pray Thy Kingdom Come Thy Will be done on earth as it is in heaven......hmmmmmm
Luke 17:20 And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come? he answered them, and said: The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: [21] Neither shall they say: Behold here, or behold there. For lo, the kingdom of God is within you.
One who is ready to receive Him, will find this is true.
You are making it too complicated. Just accept Him in, and there is the Kingdom of God. He's not a theologian, He is the Savior.
Okay notice kingdom of God is within you lower case k....this is the gospel of salvation of Jesus....and a better translation would be is among you.
His Kingdom is capital K referring to God's Kingdom.
The Pharisees had only to accept what he told them. But they were looking for a Savior to be a political leader, one who would set kings on thrones. He was telling them that was not His purpose.
