did Jesus calle his religion christianity? and did he or his followers wear a cross?

Question

and did he and his followers worshiped the trinity or only the one heavenly God (father) ?
and did any of Abraham, David, Sollomon, Moses, Issac worshiped the trinity or only to the one heavenly God?

Answer 1

Jesus did not call his religion Christianity. The people were called followers of the Way. The name was added later. Christians are followers of the Christ (or Messiah, or anointed one--they all mean the same thing). None of the early followers wore a cross. The cross is a reminder that Jesus was killed by being nailed to a large wooden cross and left to die by suffocation and exposure. It's a gruesome way to die.
He worshipped one heavenly father. His followers identified Jesus as God with us and so identified three "persons" as manifestations of one God (Father, Son--Jesus, and Holy Spirit). Abraham, David, Solomon, Moses, Isaac all lived before the time of Jesus and therefore would not have known of Jesus. There are some intriguing writings about Wisdom or Spirit that are similar to the current understanding of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament written prior to the time of Jesus, but people did not have the concept of Holy Spirit, as such, until Pentecost (described in Acts 2).

Answer 2

>> did Jesus calle his religion christianity?

No, "Christianity" (started by Saul of Tarsus - the Apostle Paul) came long after Jesus supposedly died. Paul didn't even *meet* Jesus.

>> did he or his followers wear a cross?

While he was living? No.

>> he and his followers worshiped the trinity or only the one heavenly God (father) ?

The heavenly god - Jesus' disciples weren't under the impression he was a god.

>> did any of Abraham, David, Sollomon, Moses, Issac worshiped the trinity or only to the one heavenly God?

All of whom were Jews, so they worshipped Yahweh (YHWH).

Answer 3

I like your questions ! :o)

Christianity was established by Christ, thereof the name CHRISTianity. (Acts 11:26;26:28)

The scriptures helps us to see that the Mosaic law was a shadow, of something better . The time had come for it to be replaced. (Colossians 2:17;Galatians 3:24)

As for him and his followers wearing a cross ?

For 2 reasons, no.

1. Since Christ and his followers had deep respect for God, they would not go against commands such as for an ex Exodus 20:4, Leviticus 26:1. And Christ did not sin. (1 Pet 2:22).

2. Christ did not die on a cross. The original text in the scriptures and secular information helps us to see that he died on a upright pole, without a crossed beam. [Greek: stauros].
This was a common way for execution by the Romans at the time.

As for Jesus, his followers and faithful ones like Abraham, David etc.

They worshiped the only true God. (Deut 6:4)

The Trinity doctrine is not scriptual. This teachings' origin is from ancient Babylon and appeared many years after Jesus death.

Notice these thoughts:

The New Encyclopædia Britannica says: "Neither the word Trinity, nor the explicit doctrine as such, appears in the New Testament, nor did Jesus and his followers intend to contradict the Shema in the Old Testament: 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord' (Deut. 6:4). . . . The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and through many controversies. . . . By the end of the 4th century . . . the doctrine of the Trinity took substantially the form it has maintained ever since."-(1976), Micropædia, Vol. X, p. 126.

The New Catholic Encyclopedia states: "The formulation 'one God in three Persons' was not solidly established, certainly not fully assimilated into Christian life and its profession of faith, prior to the end of the 4th century. But it is precisely this formulation that has first claim to the title the Trinitarian dogma. Among the Apostolic Fathers, there had been nothing even remotely approaching such a mentality or perspective."-(1967), Vol. XIV, p. 299.

Answer 4

No, in the time after Christ His teachings were first referred to as The Way. Acts 11:26 says, "and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch." Christian just means follower of Christ.

They did not wear crosses. That would be like wearing an electric train, a lethal injection syringe or noose. We in Genesis 1 there is a verse that say, "let US make man in OUR own image." So there is a idea there that God is many.

Duet. 6:4 says, "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one." This is a significant and key verse to jews. So there is a balance there. They had an inkling but the NT does refer to the Holy Spirit as a mystery not previously revealed.

Answer 5

Christians call Jesus the Christ & the Son of the Living God. We are a new nation, a peculiar people.

Jesus Christ died while bearing our sins on the cross.

Abram, David, Solomon, Moses, Issac, etc. worshipped the LORD God; the Father, Word & Holy Spirit. We are made in the image of God (Elohim (plural of El)) the Father, Word & Holy Spirit. We are a body, soul & spirit.

Answer 6

1) No. The first people to be called "Christians" were in Antioch.

2) No. But Peter and Andrew both died on one.

3) Moses and Elijah were seen on the Mount of Transfiguration. They glorified the Son. That was "worshiping the Trinity" to the n-th degree.

Answer 7

The name "christians" is in the Bible, in Acts. It was first used in Antioch, I think. Remember that Jesus HIMSELF said that when the Holy Spirit would come, their disciples would understand some issues which they weren't able to know when Jesus was still on earth. That happened mostly in Acts. Jesus told the people to worship the God of Abraham = the triune God. We see even in the gospels people worshipping Jesus, and He didn't say it was wrong ( it would be, if Jesus wasn't God himself). Regarding the cross, some groups use it, some don't, some people put it on their churches, some don't. It is not a basic simbol, anyway, just a rememberance of what Jesus did for us (it is wrong, though, when people forget that, and worship the simbol of the cross),

Answer 8

Jesus wouldn't:
1. Start a religion.
2. Build a church building.
3. Condemn or attack people.
4. Fill people with fear to gain followers.
5. Teach an eternal hell.
6. Call the Bible God's word.
7. Make people wait for heaven, someday.
8. Fill people with guilt & shame to gain followers.
9. Ask or want to be worshipped.
10. Teach that people "have to do something" to be "saved."
11. Teach that God is vengeful and full of wrath.
12. Love people conditionally.
13. Teach that some people will be lost eternally.

Answer 9

God the father is the only God Jesus is one with him his yeshu'ah ( salvation) it was after the death of Yeshua the Messiah ( Christ ) that his followers were called Christian they still worship God as one. I imagine the wearing of the cross came later I am sure neither Jesus or the disciples did.

Answer 10

The Jews werent aware of the trinity, though they did call God "Elohim" which is plural, they knew there was more than one aspect to Him. People werent called "Christians" until the book of Acts but it means "Christ Followers" which Christ DID say to follow Him. He also said "Take up your cross and follow me" they didn't wear crosses but it definitely not a requirement that a Christian does, but some do in symbolism for "taking up my cross" and some wear them just as a reminder.
