If you removed Jesus from the bible, what would be Christian doctrine? What rules would Christians follow?

Answer 1

Mysticism, shamanism, little buddhism, hinduism....A conglomerate of wisdom.

Answer 2

Without Jesus there would be no Christianity, and no salvation for the whole human race. If Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, had not paid the price for every sin ever committed by his sacrificial death on the cross, no one would be saved.
There would be no Christian doctrine, There is no substitute for Jesus, so Christians would have nothing to follow, they would be completely lost.

Answer 3

Without Jesus, there would be no Christians, for the word Christian comes from "Christ". That said, I suppose without Jesus the "Christian doctrine" would be the same as, or close to, the Jewish doctrine. Christianity came from Judaism.

Answer 4

There would be no Christian doctrine. People would follow Baal, Mohammid, Budda, Judiasm, or any other "works" religion that is natural to carnal (the un-quickened) man. There are basically only two religions in the world - One of grace - God given (unmerited favor), and one of works - which is "thought" earned (which has many differant denominations - some even calling themself Christian). These two basic religions are shown with Cain and Abel. Cain came to God with the very best of the work of his hands. Abel came as God prescribed, ( shown by the way he - God -ie- Christ - covered Adams nakedness) - by innocent blood being spilled -- pointing to the passion of Christ to come. This being told, obviously by Adam to his sons - one not believing, and one believing: one being shown mercy by God, the other being left in unbelief. Then, the blood sacrifices of Israel; while most still held faith in their own righteousness, but a remnant in the righteousness of another - the Christ. "Abraham believed God", "Moses wrote of me", David="I know my redeamer liveth", etc. The big problem with "professing" Christendom today is they think it is a mixture of both grace and works. The apostle Paul in Rom.11:5 &6 refutes this. In Rom. 9:10 through 24 is an example of pure grace which most "professing" Christians do not believe. I've heard many say: God would be unfair to choose one and leave the other in his sin. But God (Christ) answers: Matt.20:15 Cannot I do as I will with my own? Is thine eye evil because I am Good? No-one believes this unless first quickened Spiritually -" Ye hath He quickened who were dead, etc". Well, I could go on and on, but I'll stop now. Thank you for your time, and God bless.

Answer 5

Interesting Question... I don't think there would be any Christians since the very word Christians means something "like Christ" , or follower of Christ.
Same thing with the Buddhists if you remove Buddha from their religion, there would be no Buddhists, since Buddha is the epicenter of the Buddhist religion...
And so on.

Answer 6

You don't remove the one Lord from anything.

those of the church who come from this world having an idea of three Divine beings cannot be admitted into heaven,
since their thought wanders from one Divine being to another; and it is not allowable there to think three and say one.{1} Because in heaven everyone speaks from his thought, since speech there is the immediate product of the thought, or the thought speaking. Consequently, those in this world who have divided the Divine into three, and have adopted a different idea of each, and have not made that idea one and centered it in the Lord, cannot be received into heaven, because in heaven there is a sharing of all thoughts, and therefore if any one came thinking three and saying one, he would be at once found out and rejected. But let it be known that all those who have not separated what is true from what is good, or faith from love, accept in the other life, when they have been taught, the heavenly idea of the Lord, that He is the God of the universe. It is otherwise with those who have separated faith from life, that is, who have not lived according to the precepts of true faith (Heaven and Hell n.2).

Answer 7

Since Jesus wrote The Bible... And Jesus is The Word...I'll stick with Him thank you

Answer 8

I don't believe Christianity is fundamentally about rules. If salvation could be achieved by following rules, there would have been no need for a new covenant.

Answer 9

Remove Jesus and you still have the Ten Commandments and all that God laid out before Jesus was sent to earth to save us from sin!!

Answer 10

If Jesus wasn't there, there would be no such thing as Christians. We would just have to design our own beliefs and morality the same way other people do.

Answer 11

I agree with Char. There would be no Christianity without Jesus. He is the foundation of our belief.
