Was Jesus a Catholic or Protestant?

Question

May be he was Russian Orthodox or Jehovah's Witness or Mormon???

Answer 1

He was a Jew plain straight-forward! None of those above-mentioned religions were around then! Good luck!

Answer 2

As many have already posted, religiously speaking, Jesus was Jewish and kept the Jewish law as he was obligated to do. He did introduce Christianity but the Jewish law continued to be in effect until after his death.

It is true that some feel Christ and his apostles established the Roman Catholic Church as the Christian church or Christianity. If that were so, however, we would find somewhere from Matthew through Revelation, mention of the “Holy Father,” or a pope, a college of cardinals, archbishops, monsignors, right reverends, priests, abbots, monks and nuns. But we do not. Neither does the scriptural record mention such doctrines and practices as trinity, purgatory, mass, immortal soul, lent, novenas, penances, holy water, veneration of Mary, the Immaculate Conception, the Assumption of Mary, and so on.

Jesus was neither Catholic nor Protestant – both of which came into existence long after his death. Jesus was Jewish.

Interestingly, you mentioned Jehovah's Witness. I say interesting in view of the fact that God himself called his Jewish nation his Witnesses (see Isaiah 43:10), and Revelation 1:5 and Revelation 3:14 call Jesus the Faithful Witness. Moreover, Hebrews chapter 11 describes a line of witnesses dating all the way back to Abel.

Furthermore, God's personal name appeared originally in his Bible 7,000 times before it was removed by translators. In English that name is pronounced Jehovah. Technically, then, not only Jesus but many, many others in the Bible were witnesses of Jehovah.

Answer 3

Jesus was neither a Catholic or Protestant, however he set up Peter as the first pope of the Catholic church by saying to him,
"You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it" (Matt. 16:18). The Catholic church was the only Christian church until about 1500 years ago when Luther separated and formed the Lutheran church. Then protestants further separated into different Christan sects. Every Pope from Peter can be traced to the current Pope in the Catholic church today who is a direct lineage from Jesus.

Answer 4

The religion that Christ founded is called Christianity. He formed one church and taught one faith. As far as denomination, that church was given its name around 325 AD, which is the Roman Catholic Church. The other denominations, like JW, Mormon, Baptist and so forth, didn't exist until after 1500 or so, when the Protestant Reformation occurred.

Answer 5

NEITHER.

HE IS Lord of Lords and King of Kings OVER ALL and EVERYONE

I know He will not do it, but I wish on Judgment Day that He would let me stand there and listen to all the lies and excuses that are going to be told. I may have to give one myself, I do not know as I am not a Judge and cannot say if I am going to be spending eternity with Him. I only pray that I do, but like I said, I am not a Judge. All I know though is that the time is coming when ALL WILL stand in front of Him and give accounts of their life and why they rejected Him.

Answer 6

Neither.


He was the Son of God.


However, the Church that He founded was the Catholic Church.

All other denominations and branches of Christianity came into being by seceding from the Catholic Church.


You just have to check the history time lines.

Answer 7

Neither of those religions existed during Jesus' life.

Jesus was an observant Jew, and followed the law od Moses.

Answer 8

He was God...
Belonging to a religion is something of man.
To become a man he had to have a lineage so he became one of the chosen people - but to say he was of a religion, when he is the source of all things, is understating.

Answer 9

Matthew 16:17-19 states:

Jesus said to him in reply, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father. And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."

The church that Jesus built upon Peter became known as the Catholic Church.

With love in Christ.

Answer 10

Jesus was Jewish.

Catholic wasn't even a concept until well after his death. Protestantism was more than a millenia after that.
