Did Christians exist at the time of Leviticus?

Answer 1

No, people of that time were still waiting for their Messiah to appear, so believers were not considered "Christ"ians but they still believed and worshiped the same God we do today.

Answer 2

Christ was before Leviticus but not manifested as man. Christ is God and now God can live in you because of the (Christ) Spiritualize became humanized (Jesus) ….. Jesus Christ. In book of Acts they were first called Christians.

Do you know whey Angels would say, “Fear not” whenever they delivered a message from God to someone on earth? Because no one has seen God and if you do, you will die. But Jesus said “If you seen me ye have seen the Father.” Why? The Blood of Christ redeem all this and that is Christianity, followers of Jesus Christ. So that is the difference before then (Leviticus) and now (Christianity.)

Judges 6

Now Gideon perceived that He was the Angel of the LORD. So Gideon said, “Alas, O Lord GOD! For I have seen the Angel of the LORD face to face.”
23 Then the LORD said to him, “Peace is with you; do not fear, you shall not die.”

John 14:7
[The Father Revealed] “If you had known me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”


John 14:9
Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?


Acts 11:26
And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch

Answer 3

Well, Christianity needs a Christ first, and Leviticus was in the Old Testament. Before Christ, which would make everyone in the Old Testament Jewish.

Answer 4

if you mean "when the book of leviticus was written", then the answer is no. They didn't arrive till around 1000 years later.

Answer 5

nope....Christ's coming and people following him, that's when Christians showed up...after Leviticus

Answer 6

no because Christians were people how followed in Jesus instead of there Jewish ways after Jesus die and rose again. in the days of Leviticus Jesus was not born yet.

Answer 7

The OT saints were saved the same way the New Testament saints were/are saved, by faith.

For what does the Scripture say? "And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness." 4Now to the one who works, his wage is not reckoned as a favor, but as what is due. 5But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness, 6just as David also speaks of the blessing upon the man to whom God reckons righteousness apart from works: 7"Blessed are those whose lawless deeds have been forgiven, and whose sins have been covered. 8"Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will not take into account" (Rom. 4:3-8).

As you can see, the Bible tells us that Abraham was justified by faith (see Rom. 5:1 and Eph. 2:8-9). That is, his faith is reckoned as righteousness, v. 4 above. They were saved by faith in the Messiah in whom they were trusting. Only, for them it was a trust in the future Messiah. They knew He was coming as had been prophesied .
Also, the Holy Spirit was there in the OT times the same as the NT times. Consider Psalm 51:11, "Do not cast me away from Thy presence, And do not take Thy Holy Spirit from me."
God did not change how He saved people in the New Testament. It has always been by faith. In the case of the OT people, they looked ahead in time to the Messiah. We look back to Him and see the cross.

Answer 10
