Why Christianity and not Jesusianity?

Question

Christ is in the Prophecy but Jesus fulfills it, so why?

Whynotask... you've got some story there but the early sign of Christianity as called was a shepherd's cane with a big 'x' in the middle of it...
Most of the replier are of the non-existence glorifier and have just taken for granted those who have making the prophesy possible as have written...
Come to think of it, most of you will see the greatness of the actors subject than the actors.

Angk... you made me smile.

Answer 1

Shortly after Jesus died on the cross in Antioch, the people made fun of followers of Jesus by calling them "Christians" the literal translation is little christs..... As with many nicknames, it stuck!

Answer 2

Jesus is the Christ, The Messiah. Christians follow the Messiah who is Christ, hence, Christianity.

Jesusianity wouldn't make sense. There are many Jesus', there is One Christ.

Answer 3

Jesus Christ, I thought his name was Jesus Christ.

Answer 4

My religion/philosophy prof (who was quite drunk at the time--we'd gone to see his band play at a local bar) intoduced us to the concept of the word "Jesusian", which he used to define someone who says screw it to the rest of the Bible and reads the red words. We quite liked this word and have since adopted it for daily use. I like Jesusians.

Answer 5

Jesus was "the" Christ. Christ means messiah (or anointed one), thus Christianity. Christianity is all about being "saved".(Jesus was just his name)

Answer 6

There are so many Jesuses in the world but there is only one born "the Christ".

Answer 7

The following should explain!




Found !
The Seal of The Messianic Church


EVIDENCE THAT THE EARLIEST CHURCH IN EXISTANCE WAS JEWISH


One of the strongest evidences for this is the presence of many artifacts, clay pots, and lamps, which are engraved with what has come to be called the SEAL OF THE MESSIANIC CHURCH.

The seal has been copyrighted as " Seven Branched Candelabra/Star of David/Fish"

A book entitled "The Messianic Seal of the Jerusalem Church" by Reuven Efraim Schmalz and Raymond Robert Fischer has been published (Olim Publications, P.O. Box 2111,Tiberias, Israel.

Top of Seal see the Seven Branch Candelabra that stood before God in the Temple.

Below that, see the Star of David, which is from the 7th century BC. It is composed of two interlaced, equilateral triangles or DALTHA (D for David). "A star shall come forth from Jacob, and a scepter shall rise from Israel" Numbers 24:17.

Below the star is a fish which is an early Christian symbol in Israel. It was transported to Rome, and by 150 AD. Clement of Alexandria suggested to all his readers that they include the sign of a fish in their personal seals to identify them as Christians. Later the Greek spelling for the word fish ICHTHUS was incorporated. The first five letters of the words that spell "Jesus, Christ, God, Son, and Saviour."

In the Messianic Seal, the cross appears as the Hebrew letter TAW.

The artifacts were discovered in 1990 by Tech Oteeoos, a 90 year old Greek Orthodox monk, in the vicinity of the, what is believed to be, the original Church founded and pastored by James the Just, the half-brother of Jesus. When the actual grotto was excavated by Oteeoos, numerous inscriptions were found on the walls. The period of its use on Mount Zion could only have been from the crucifixion in 30 AD to 135AD.

ONE LIFE

He was born in a stable,
In an obscure village,
the child of a peasant woman,
From there He travelled
less than 200 miles.

He never wrote a book.
He never held an office.
He did none of the things one
usually associates with greatness.

He became a nomadic preacher,
Popular opinion turned against Him,
He was betrayed by a close friend,
And His other friends ran away.

He was unjustly condemned to death,
Crucified on a cross among common thieves,
On a hill overlooking the town dump,
And when dead, laid in a borrowed grave.

Nineteen centuries have come and gone,
Empires have risen and fallen,
Mighty armies have marched,
And powerful rulers have reigned.

Yet no one has affected men as much as HE,
HE is the central figure of the human race,
HE is the Messiah, THE SON OF GOD,
JESUS THE CHRIST!

~

We who were not born of Jewish parents must remember that Our Messiah
and The Messiah of the Jews are one!

We were "grafted in" ~ and for this we must thank OUR LORD AND OUR MESSIAH ~
Yah Vashua, The Lord - Jesus The Christ
Whose Birth We Celebrate on December 25th !
