Was Jesus Orthodox? (or Baptist?)​


Follow-up to the "Is Universalism Orthodox."[?] topic.

What is this thing with accusations of unorthodox, heretic, heterodox, pagan, etc.
Seems like blatant tribalism to me. Us versus them. When will we ever learn?

So, was Jesus orthodox?
Or did he operate outside the realm of the orthodoxy of his day?
Was he a heretic by their standards?

Perhaps being heterodox is WAY underrated. Do we worship the status quo?

Lets open up and actually read the bible , WITHOUT deconsteructionists views .
AND LET US SEE WHO JESUS was indeed .
No he was not baptist and etc
AND HE darn sure was not AN Ecumencalists inclusivain of intefaith
And he darn sure does not contradict HIS own words by selling inclusivity and etc .
In fact not only can HE NOT DENY THE TRUTH . HE IS THE TRUTH .
And my advice to one and to all is , THAT WE TAKE NOT FROM or ADD TO HIS WORDS
lest it be WE FOUND to the the LIAR . BIBLE time st steven . BIBLE TIME .
but your correct about the fact that JESUS was not baptists , methodist , catholic or any other ism .
MEN DID THAT . NOT GOD .

Was Jesus Orthodox? (or Baptist?)

Odd choice for … “OR”.

Orthodox … is Basically…conforming
TO:
established,
traditional,
commonly accepted beliefs,
doctrines,
practices.

Unorthodox… is Basically…open to consideration, or adherence
TO:
methods,
beliefs,
behaviors that differ from the “Established” protocols, claims.


Orthodox…Vs…UnOrthodox regarding “Religious” aspects…
a Very BROAD “range”

Remember, “Established”?
“Established”…begins with
* An idea
* A plan
* an Announc-ER
* the Announce-MENT
AND… progresses…

God…(idea / plan)
God…announcer
God…announcement
Progress…Fulfillment.

Man…(idea / plan)
Man…announcer
Man…announcement
Man…new announcer
Man…new announcements
Man…new announcer
Man…new announcements
Man…gathering, rituals, $$$, books…
Man…Repeat, Repeat, Repeat, Repeat…
Every man shall Die…
You Hope you Repeated the Same rituals over and over enough, that “IF” there is a god… HE noticed…you kept “Repeating”…

News…
Yes there is a God.
Yes He noticed your same repetitions.
Yes He noticed you Never Fulfilled!

Nothing new under the Sun /(Son)…
Hear, Learn, Decide, Choose…
Git to Gittlin’ and FULFILL!

Glory to God,
Taken

This generation of christendom is in dire and deadly trouble .
And neither sides politicians
and neither the RCC or many protestants OFFER UP the true solution .
Rather both sides , in part offer up that which is of anti christ and shall lead this world as one
the false religions as well as most all of christendom to be as one man , one mind , one heart , one love , one peace
under what they all will beleive to be is of GOD . ONLY ITS OF SATAN who has prepared the world
as has his harlot unto the day OF ITS OWN DESTRUCTION .
Sorry folks but most now preach the false peace , false love message of ecumeincism .
Knowing neither the love of GOD or HIS PEACE plan . HIS PEACE PLAN was TO PREACH JESUS
so that all who do BELIEVE would have been saved and have PEACE with GOD .
BUT THAT SATANIC WHORE of all whores has sold this world
her peace plan which b e of many anti christs , AND IT DARN SURE DENIED JESUS CHRIST
and the DIRE NEED to BELIEVE ON H IM
Just wanted to let folks know what and who they follow when they join in unity with that whore . The d evil .
WE should have stuck to the bible .
WE should have preached THAT JESUS , THAT DOCTRINE , the apostels doctrine . But oh no everyone
wants a ecumeincal beetles style of ALL YA NEED is love . WELL that love aint saving SQUAT and its gonna damn
every last hand that joined with it . DO be encouraged my friend . The love of the world
IS NOT THE LOVE OF GOD . And high time it is this generation FIGURES THAT ONE out and FAST .

I disagree. He DEFINITELY endorsed the views of John... THE BAPTIST.. and built upon them.

Did you mean to reply to me? This doesn't seem to have anything to do with what I said.

I think the idea of Orthodox and UnOrthodox is a human made idea. Its come to represent what is the true or authentic way as opposed to alternative ways.

In some ways a type of Critical theory in that its designed to pull apart and question everything as to its norms. More a social and political lens.

Whereas I think at least with the early church up to around mid 2nd century it was taken for granted as a unified church and teaching. The only teaching and the entire belief being the gospel of Christ.

As simple as coming together and breaking bread and praising God. The main belief and worship being around Christs death and resurrection and followers living like Christ. Joining in the sacrifice of Christ as was still fresh in their hearts and minds.

That I think was the simple message and teaching that Paul and Clement kept reminding the church of. To not stray from this because it is so simple and they knew as Christ knew that followers would come along and complicate this. Add their own flavour and bits. Question its simplicity.

Once this core and simple truth is at the center of the church all else falls into line. There is no division and disputes as all are within the same sacrifice of Christ. Christ not orthodoxy or unorthodoxy is at the core. In that people are transformed in mind and spirit and unified as one.

I had to take a stab of the seven stars (messengers) to the seven candlesticks (churches)...

Original messenger - Church
1. Peter - Messianic
2. Paul - Early Gentile
3. Constantine - Greek Orthodox
4. Theodosius I - Catholic
5. Martin Luther - Protestant
6. John Wesley - The revived church (Methodist - Pentecostal)
7. Robert Shuller - The Country Club

One Church... Millions of congregations...
1. Ephesus - Messianic Jewish Church
2. Smyrna - Oriental Orthodox - The Roman persecutions were ten
3. Pergamos - Greek Orthodox - Pergos... A tower... Needed in the dark ages
4. Thyatira - Catholic - Middle ages
5. Sardis - Protestant - A sardis is a gem... Beautiful,,, Not much spiritually
6. Philadelphia - Wesleyan - Too bad the revivals didn't last longer
7. Laodicean - Word of Faith - Rich and have need of nothing?

Seven candlesticks - Seven generalized congregation - All unique - And Christ walking in the midst
Seven seals - Those names written in the Lambs Book of Life
Seven stars - Those messengers to the congregations - Bible Gateway passage: Revelation 1 - King James Version

Was Christ Messianic... Martyr.... Orthodox.... Catholic... Protestant.... Methodist... Word of Faith?

No.... He is Christ Jesus... And he will divide the churches as the shepherd divides the sheep from the goats... And judge them!

31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. - Matthew 25

I would say there are sheep and goats in each denomination.
