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.

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?

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.
