Christians this is what you need to understand?

Question

I am a Christian , and Christis our Savior not God, dont pray to Jesus pray in his name to GOD. when jesus came he said the MOST important commandment was honor God. so to the Christians that dont accept the old testament, your missing out on what jesus felt was most important, and thats God. and I feel Christians have gotten more peaceful because of the loss of the old testament and I tell you that God dont want you having Idols thats why Muslims will be in hell

Answer 1

Amen. and even the Prophet Mohamad's knees will bend.

Answer 2

I'm really confused about why you call yourself a Christian??? Christian, by definition, means Christ-follower. Jesus said that the most important commandment was to LOVE the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and the second is to love your neighbor as you love yourself. I agree that the Old Testament is very important for Christians, but I don't understand how ignoring it makes people more peaceful? Jesus fulfilled the OT laws, so we are not bound by them anymore. The laws were meant to keep God's people in covenant relationship with Him. We can learn from them, but we are not required to keep them because we are in a different culture and different time.

Answer 3

Is there a question in there somewhere?

For what it's worth, I think it is fine to pray to God, the Father, in the name of God, the Son, especially as you are moved by God, the Holy Spirit. John 1 tells us that the Word was God and the Word became flesh. While you won't find the word Trinity in the Bible, the mystery of the Trinity is clearly present in several passages of the New Testament and clues are found even in the creation accounts of Genesis 1 and 2. The Gospel of John would disagree with you, however, by saying that Jesus is God.

Consider,

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

John 1:1-15 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. {comprehended: or, did not admit, or, receive} 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: {power: or, the right, or, privilege} 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. 15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.

So, the eternal Christ and God are somehow the same and somehow different. It's just not possible for us to understand fully it seems.

Answer 4

This is the basic Christian doctrine about Jesus Christ. I am sorry, but if you deny Jesus Christ is God, very God, from the beginning through eternity, you cannot claim to be a Christian.

Jesus

1. He is the creator (John 1:1-3; Col. 1:15-17).
2. He is uncreated (John 1:1-3; Col. 1:15-17).
3. He is God in flesh (John 1:1,14; 8:58 with Exodus 3:14; Col. 2:9; Phil. 2:5-8; Heb. 1:8).
4. His Incarnation and His deity
1. Hypostatic Union - Jesus has two natures in one person. He was not half God and half man. He is both Human and Divine. He was completely God and completely man. This is the correct position concerning His two natures. See Col. 2:9; Phil. 2:5-8; John 8:58 and Exodus 3:14.
2. Jesus will remain as both God and man for eternity.
3. Jesus was born of the virgin Mary (Matt. 1:18; Luke 1:35).
1. "He was born under the Law (Gal. 4:4) and fulfilled all of the Law of God (John 4:34 ; 8:29), even to the point of death (Phil. 2:8). In His death He bore the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us (Gal. 3:13). Thus in the death of Christ the sins of His people were judged (Rom. 3:23-26) and forgotten (Heb. 8:12), and the result of His act of righteousness was eternal life (Rom. 5:18).
4. Jesus is worshiped - (Matt. 2:2,11; 14:33; John 9:35-38; Heb. 1:6).
5. Jesus is prayed to - (Acts 7:55-60; Psalm 116:4 and Zech. 13:9 with 1 Cor. 1:1-2).
6. Jesus is called God - (John 20:28; Heb. 1:8).
7. He is the exact representation of the nature of God (Heb. 1:3).
5. His death and the atonement
1. Jesus bore the sins of the world (1 John 2:2) in His body on the cross (1 Pet. 2:24).
2. He was a propitiation, a satisfaction to God that appeased God's wrath.
3. He atoned. He made right that which was wrong between us and God. His shed blood is what cleanses us from sin (Lev. 17:11; Heb. 9:22; Rom. 5:9; 1 John 1:7-9).
1. He removed the enmity between God and Man (Rom. 5:10).
4. For whom did He die? - Some say for the sheep (Christians) only (John 10:11,15).
1. The Sheep are the Christians. The Goats are the non-Christians (Matt. 25:32-46).
5. Others say He died for everyone (1 John 2:2). Each side has good arguments.
6. The Resurrection of Christ (John 2:19-21; 1 Cor. 15:1-4).
1. Jesus rose in the same body that He died in (John 2:19-21; Luke 24:36-43).
1. Jesus' body is ‘resurrected.' We do not know exactly what His body is like, but the nature of the resurrected body is discussed by Paul in 1 Cor. 15:35-58.
7. Right now Jesus is in heaven, still as, and eternally to be both God and man (1 Tim. 2:5; Col. 2:9).
1. This is important because Jesus is the High Priest forever: "where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek,” (Heb. 6:20). A spirit cannot be a high priest, only a man can do that. Furthermore, Jesus always lives to make intercession for us "Hence, also, He is able to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them," (Heb. 7:25).
8. The Ascension of Christ (Acts 1:1-11.).
1. After the resurrection Jesus appeared to His disciples during a period of forty days. He completed His message to them then.
2. In light of the cloud in the O.T. (Exodus 40:34; 1 Kings 8:10f.; Luke 9:34f.) as a manifestation of God's glory and presence, we have the necessary expectation of His glorious ascension.
3. He ascended in full view of the apostles who wrote of what they saw.
9. The Doctrine of the Deity of Christ is opposed to:
1. Docetism - Jesus was truly spirit and only appeared to be a man.
2. Gnosticism - Jesus was only a man taken over by the heavenly Christ which never became incarnate. The heavenly Christ returned to heaven before the crucifixion.
3. Arianism - Jesus was created slightly lower than God. Then Jesus created all things.
10. The Hypostatic Union (Jesus having two natures in one person) is opposed to:
1. Kenosis - Jesus lessened Himself in the incarnation, i.e., God minus something.
2. Eutychianism - The two natures of Jesus are completely ‘mixed' and indiscernible.
3. Nestorianism - The two natures are not in contact with each other and that Jesus was two persons.
4. Monophysitism - The two natures combined and became one, a new type of being. (Then Jesus would be neither God nor man, but a third something.)

Answer 5

THEN AS A CHRISTIAN YOU NEED TO GO BACK AND READ MORE OF YOUR BIBLE. THE OLD TESTAMENT IS IMPORTANT AS IN A HISTORY WAY. THE NEW TESTAMENT IS WHAT WE FOLLOW, AND TO GET TO GOD WE MUST GO THRU JESUS. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT MUSLIMS HAVE IDOLS NEVER HEARD OF ANY OR SEEN ANY. CATHOLICS MAYBE SO. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT CHURCH YOU GO TO BUT IF THEY ARE LEAVING OUT THE OT THEN YOU ARE AT THE WRONG CHURCH. JESUS SAID NO ONE GETS TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THRU ME AND AS FOR PEOPLE GOING TO HELL THAT WILL BE GOD'S LAST CALL NOT MANS

Answer 6

you need to seriously chill. people like you are why I renounced christianity. there's just too much hate.

if there is only one god, why don't all his ppl just work together for the greater good. Muslims also believe in only one god, just with a different name. They respect Jesus as a prophet, not the son of god.

and why can't christians pray directly to jesus or the holy spirit if they believe in the "holy trinity"?

Answer 7

"Before Abraham I AM." That is what Jesus said. He said he and the father are one, so when we pray to Jesus we are praying to the Father.

The Trinity is ONE God in THREE persons, the father, the son, and the holy spirit. It is NOT polytheism like some illiterate Arab from the seventh century would have you believe.

Answer 8

You are lame...it´s a shame you call yourself christian and you talk that way...
Maybe you are just mocking because you can´t pretend being christian and not believe that Christ is God. I can bet you haven´t even studied the Bible...

Answer 9

Answer 10

God invented loons.
