what was religion before Jesus?

Answer 1

During his preaching, Jesus had never called himself as God or Son-God. Now, look upon those people who consider Jesus as God or Son-God. They are, baselessly, blaming even those people who were present at the spot and knew that Jesus was not God or son-god. In other words, the people with the belief that Jesus is God or Son-god; are far more enemies of Jesus who tried to crucify him.

The people who say that Jesus is God or Son-God or in his guise, the Lord descended upon earth because of God’s love for humanity. They are, baselessly, blaming Jesus and the Lord of Jesus, the both. Jesus was born after Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ismael, Isaac, Jacob, David, Solomon, Moses and the numerous other Prophets (peace & blessings of God be upon all of them). If he were the Son-God, then, all of the foregoing Prophets, must have been the believers of Trinity. But the case is not like that at all. None of them was the believer of Trinity, rather, none of them, had, even, heard about the name of Trinity, in their times. Hence, Trinity is nothing else but an invented and artificial concept which has no existence, even, during the time of Jesus. It is, therefore, a rootless concept from all accounts.

Jesus believed in the same God___ who was believed in__ by Adam, Noah, Ibrahim, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses and all the prophets (peace &blessings of the LORD be upon all of them).

According to Jesus, God, the Holy One; is the Saviour of the Whole mankind. God is capable (be God glorified as God is) to relive off every infliction. None of the human beings is saviour beside God. Jesus, himself is also, not a saviour at all. The people who have chosen him as their saviour__ they have denied the Holy One___ who alone is the saviour of Jesus and whole mankind and the act of choosing Jesus as saviour__ is equal to hate the Holy One___ as it is clearly written in the old Testament:-

“I am the Lord your God. Worship no God but Me. Do not make for yourself images of anything in heavens or on earth or in the water under the earth. Do not bow down to any idol or worship it. Because I am the Lord your God and I tolerate no rivals. I bring punishment on those who hate me, on their descendants, down to third and fourth generation.”
(Exodus 20:1-5)

Now, ponder over the point that whosoever says that Jesus is God___ Holy Spirit is God___ Mary is God; has he not made an idol beside the One God? While nothing is there in the earth and heavens which could be considered in terms of the One God.

Beware please! A father is a father__ a mother is a mother___ and a son is a son__ and they all are the creatures of God. They cannot be considered as God___ as god is their Creator__ and nothing is like the Lord.

God is the Lord whose praises are recited by Israel. God is the originator of Torah (the law of Moses) including the Ten Commandments. And God has effected the 1st Commandment in the following words:-

“Worship no God but Me. Do not make for yourself images of anything in heaven or on earth or in the water under the earth.”

The Same God is the God of Jesus who was the God of Jacob and Moses (peace & blessings of God be upon all the three). The one God, beside whom, there is no God at all.

Jesus is not the inventor of Trinity. Nor he is presenting him as one of three Gods. Nor he is telling the One God as the third of the three gods. Instead, he is openly rejecting the concept of Trinity, which stands for the following three gods.

1.The God of Moses____ Jehovah
2.The word of God_____ Jesus
3.Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost.

The Trinity is a baseless concept in terms of the Verse under reference, the verse 3 of the prayer.

Torah says,
“Remember This! The Lord and the Lord alone___ is our God.
Love the Lord your god with all your heart,
With all your soul, and with all your strength.”
(Deut 6:4-5)

“Fear the Lord your God, worship only God,
and make your promises in God’s name alone.
Do not worship other gods,
Any of the gods of the people around you.
If you do worship other gods,
The Lord’s anger will come against you
Like fire and will destroy you completely,
Because the Lord your God,
Who is present with you, tolerates no rivals.”
(Deut 6:13-14-15)

“God is a great god and (only) one to be feared.’
(Deut 7:21)
All the messengers preached the same___ before man or idol worship. True followers of the messengers always followed the True religion and there was no difference of message of the messengers.
For example:
Jesus preached:-
1.HONOUR GOD
2.WORSHIP GOD
3.SERVE GOD
And today’s Christian leaders preach
1.Honour God and Jesus
2.Serve Jesus
3.Worship Jesus, Holy Ghost and God
Same is the case with Muslims. Muslims at the messengers’ time believed in God and followed and worshipped God only___ today’s Muslims follow the religion of their leader and call it Islam. Though, messenger Muhammad clearly mentioned the true religion is Islam:
TO BELIEVE IN ONE ALONE GOD___ TO PERFORM GOOD DEEDS___ TO BELIEVE IN THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT AFTER RESURRECTION.
On record is his word that Islam is to believe in God and to remain firm on that. So, even today we believe in the true religion of all nations__ according to the saying of all messengers.

Krishna Jee said to his father:-
‘Leave worship of all demi-gods and worship One, Alone God Only. Who is the Great Master and to serve whom is the duty of the slaves of God.’
God said to Moses:-
“I__AND I ALONE___AM GOD
AND ALL OTHER GODS ARE UNREAL.”
And in Quran God says:-
“I__AND I ALONE AM THE NOURISHER OF THE UNIVERSE.”
And, the word GOD means:-
1.G___ FOR GENERATOR OF THE UNIVERSE
2.O___ FOR ORGANIZER OF THE UNIVERSE AND COSMOS.
3.D___ FOR DESTROYER OF EVERYTHING.

All Holy Books tell us, that everything will be perished and nothing will be left but The One, Alone God to resurrect all whom God created for the judgement. All the messengers sent to mankind by the Great, AlMighty God__ died but the true religion of the God lives. So, to be the one nation of God:
BELIEVE IN ONE ALONE GOD___ PERFORM GOOD DEEDS___ BELIEVE IN THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT AFTER RESURRECTION.

Answer 2

The Jesus story grew from the threads of many other older faiths. Obviously, Pharisaic Judaism of this era played a significant role as the context for the new religion. But the Greek myth cycles of the dying young god who gives his life that others may live is ancient in both Greek and Mesopotamian religion as well. Noah and the Ark, the Ten Commandments, Adam and Eve, Angels, Virgin Birth, etc etc....all of these were very common parts of earlier traditions in this region. They were adopted into the Christian myth in order to legitimize Jesus as a "god" and to make the story quickly understandable to people who were already familiar with the meaning of these images.

Answer 3

Do you mean historically, "before Jesus came as a man"? Actually, Jesus was the Creator. (Look at John 1) Thereafter He often appeared to people as an angel (ever heard of "Michael the Archangel"?) Throughout Old Testament times Jesus was reaching out in any way people would receive Him (remember Jacob's ladder? Jonah and the whale -- and Nineveh? The negotiations before Sodom burned?) Life without Jesus simply doesn't happen.

Answer 4

Christianity is one of the newest of religions.

Jesus wasn't trying to start a religion based on his teachings. It was created many years following his death, and has been modified ad infinitum since that time.

Answer 5

Judaism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Confucianism, Paganism, Taoism, Shinto, Native American Shamanism, Animism, Deism, All these religions still exist.

Answer 6

it ought to look that certain, there replaced into prepared faith previously Christ got here to Earth. this is been suggested interior the Bible interior the e book of Genesis that there replaced into an angel that replaced into with Adam interior the backyard of Eden. some believe this angel to be Jesus. although that is uncertain and open for interpretation. we do not truly get to Jesus being suggested with techniques from call till the hot testomony, even with the actual shown truth that folk believe that it replaced into Him that walked with Adam interior the backyard and that Jacob wrestled with. interior the e book of Deuteronomy is even as the guidelines of God were set into position which became elementary as Judaism. So i wager this is the way you look at issues got here upon interior the Bible. some credit Judaism as being the first style of prepared faith... yet then others say that Jesus has been right here the entire time...

Answer 7

There was always Sun worship. The Egyptians and Constantine/Romans all worshiped the Sun and its properties long before Jesus and Christianity came along.

Answer 8

If your speaking of the religion that became Christianity, it was Judaism (read the Old Testament).

Answer 9

"Religion" is man made. God existed in the beginning and I guess that is your answer. Relationship is knowing God and His Son, Jesus Christ - very very different from religion.

Answer 10

The entire Universe of matter is a 'figment of imagination'. As long as the mind imagines it, it is there. For instance, when one is in 'deep-sleep', all this Universe gives way for a kind of 'tranquility'. One wakes up from it and says 'I knew nothing'. In the dream-state, the Universe we know in the 'awakened state' is replaced by a fanciful one, where our mind builds its own imaginary universe, based on the impressions gained in the waking-state and its own fancies. There is a still higher state, where one loses all identity to become 'tranquility' itself, this needs training of the mind to one-pointedness and uninterrupted concentration. This is 'liberation' from the 'Universe of make-believe'. The realisation of UNITY comes.

Religion as we know it to-day and practice, only yokes us, permanently, into the 'unreal'existence amidst contradictions, such as, birth-death, happiness-sorrow, friends-enemies, man-woman, young-old etc.

Best to abandon 'religion' in favour of the continuous endeavour to 'liberate' oneself from the 'world- of- make- believe'.

Answer 11

before jesus there were other religions, e.g ancient egyptian and roman religion. All of those religions were just as wrong as christianity and islam and every other religion we have today...
