what was Jesus?

Question

was he catholic, morman pentecostal,jehova,baptist,seventh day,apostolic...which branch did He belong to.and if none, why do you?

but what sect was he?

so then why do you claim sects?

Answer 1

I personally don't believe there WERE sects during Jesus' time. The Holy Bible didn't even exist for 500 years A.D. and only then could the very wealthiest people possess it, and most of them were illiterate and so couldn't even read it, and so then -------came the translators. And when Constintine was the Pope, he CONTROLLED what text was entered into the Holy Bible, and what text was removed. Most people don't know that---not poets that's for sure. (Knowing that, how can anyone say that the Bible is the enfallible Word of God?).
Jesus was a great teacher and a great leader...and he was pure---no doubt---and he was chosen by God to lead people. no doubt about that either...but, if God chose Jesus to lead, so did God choose Muhammed to lead, because the Koran was the Word of God as given to Muhammed by God's own Arch Angel, Gabriel.
There are many Masters of The Path to God, and Jesus is most certain one of them. I'm following all of them as much as I can.
See you on the other side,,, when God determines it.

Answer 2

The Jesus character is a Fiction, based loosely on the pagan god man Savior of the Mithra's religion that was more popular in the middle east countries, especially Rome, that was founded on the Isle of Tarsus, which was coincidentally also the supposed home of the supposed apostle Paul, who is credited with embellishing the Mithra legendary god man Adonis and attributing the new religion leader Jesus with all the superlatives of the old Mithra religion. Supposing that Jesus, which is a English translation of the Greek name, Iesu, was supposedly a Jewish person, does not make this character any the less improbable to believe as a savior, since saviors were quite the acceptable genre for various religions in vogue during that era of history. That there is no historical evidence or credible evidence in the writings of any of the Historians of that era need not make such a figure unbelievable, as trusting in the NT narrative does not require any factual evidence. Faith is all that is necessary, and that is, as everyone well knows, needs nothing more than a blindness to facts, just believe what the preachers tell you is the truth. Simply Believe. You don't even have to Think. Sincerely

Answer 3

Jesus was non-denominational. I go to a Mennonite Brethren church but I have gone to Baptist, Pentecostal, and Alliance Churches and agree with their statements of faith.

Most denominations are just different styles and opinions of worship and many co-operate with each other, even the Catholic and Protestants sometimes.

Jesus didn't disagree with denominations (of the Pharisee's, a Jewish denomination, he said it was okay for the people to obey their commands, even though they added to God's laws).

I don't think Jesus would chose just one denomination as the right and true one, but I think he will judge the marginal and extreme ones.

Nobody is perfect, that's why we need Jesus in the first place.

Answer 4

I'm guessing - if he has to go into a box... Messianic Jew... but that is a stretch.

As for why there are many 'types' of Christians... I like to think that each sees their mission as a little different - some are big on studying, others are big on worship, other still are involved with civil liberties.

The 'group' that I belong to are open to joining with others to learn and share, but we have a certain flavour and mission that is different to others - so it might not work to have the leadership having an emphasis on studying and enjoying the old hymns when we perfer the modern songs and working directly with the community.

Answer 5

Jesus, the One and only Son of God, was born of a Jewish Mother and her husband, as fortold in the Old Testament, as a fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. When he began His ministry it was much like that of a Jewish Rabbi...gathering disciples (students) who followed him around talking to, listening to, and learning from Him. His crucifixion, death and subsequent resurrection, also fulfillment of prophecies, set him apart from other Jewish teachers, proving that he was indeed the prophesied Messiah. Followers of Jesus are called Christians. Much like the human body has many parts that serve diverse purposes, also the "Body of Christ" - Christianity - has many parts...Catholic, Protestant, Evangelical, Apostolic, etc. These all are part of the same "body" in that they acknowledge Christ as the Savior and "The Way, The Truth, and The Life", yet the serve a diverse array of spiritual needs and Biblical interpretations. I am a Christian because I am a student of Christ, a believer in Christ, and a sinner in need of a Savior.

Answer 6

are you retarted? no, really though, all the religions you list are all just different sects of christianity, as in followers and believers of christ. christ was a believer of god and the devil, he died long before any various sects(catholic, morman pentecostal, jehova, baptist, sev... day, apostolic) came around. a mind is a terribe thing to waste. y ask a stupid question, when u can be a satanist and help me with my holy crusade to destroy the christians?

Answer 7

Answer 8

Jesus Christ is God's son. He was Jewish. I don't look at specific faiths like branches as you stated. I worship and fellowship at a Bible believing Christian church because I have salvation through Jesus. I'm a sinner who asked for forgiveness and trusted and placed my belief and faith in Him as my savior and the Lord of my life.

I hope this helps with your question.

Answer 9

Jesus was born a Jew and then for all practical purposes became a Jehovah's Witness. The Bible calls him a faithful and true "witness".

Answer 10

asafaah,
Christians weren't even called Christians at that time. I believe that the first time the word was used it was in a derogatory manner, decribing those who followed the message of Jesus.

So none of those denominations apply. He was the founder of His Church after all!
