And why do you deny the religion of your Messiah? Has paganism spread like wildfire that threatens to kill the very religion that your God was in his life here on earth? Has the Roman Empire grasped it's hold on conquering the world?

Yes, paganism and roman catholicism have gone hand in hand to overtake Christianity through Xmas amoung other lesser things. Satan has always used socalled religion to deceive the hearts of "men". All people have fallen snare to his lies in one way or another. The Bible even warns us over and over again, that this will happen. Matthew 7:15 "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves." 2 Corinthians 11:13-14 "For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." 2 Peter 2:1 "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction."
Revelation 20:10 "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever."
True Christians do not deny the religion that Jesus came to establish. It's just that there are so many people in the world that claim christianity falsely. True Christians worship God Almighty through Jesus Christ our Lord in the way that we are told to in the Bible. We don't add to it or take away from it. We don't try to make it say what we want it to for our convenience. We only try to humbly understand what God is saying to us, and do what He commands, so that He will give us a home in Heaven in the end. We also realize that if we allow ourselves to get caught up in the false religions that the Devil has brought about over the last 1600 years, we will spend eternity in HELL with him just like he wants. He is not the lord of Hell as so many people believe. It was for him and his followers that Hell was created. He's in the same boat as the sinner. It's just that the sinner who is still alive in this world, has a "life preserver"; JESUS. But Satan has no hope. He is powerful in his deception, and intends to take the whole world away from God. Ever since he was cast down from Heaven, he has tried to kill the very religion that Christ paid for with His blood. He tried to keep that Kingdom, the Church, from ever being established. The Devil saw a long time ago, that taking people from God was easy if he confounded God's Word. He started with telling Eve that "she would NOT surely die". He changed God's word. Catholicism WAS a big thing, but it has lost some of it's hold. The Devil isn't worried though, he's got all the other religions going now. There is only one religion, one kingdom, one Church, that will be delivered up to God at the end of time. And not everyone that attends THAT Church will be going with them. The Christian way of life is a hard road, and every day Satan is trying to lead us off of it. He's powerful and only those who strive with ALL their might to do God's will, will overcome his devices. The only weapon that we are given is the "sword of the spirit", THE BIBLE. Ephesians 6:13-17
"Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:"

I have to inform you of some historical facts. There has never been a "pure" christianity. Christianity is a spinoff of judism and that in itself means it was derived from another faith and includes the traditions of that other faith. Our modern society includes all aspects of different religions and faiths some which are pagan in nature. This is the way it is. Most people in the United States at least have little or no idea where customs and traditions derive from and assume all of these things have christian history but many many do not. This idea you are proposing here cannot be accomplished as it would be impossible to determine the true nature of most traditions.

Great question! You have hit the nail directly on the head, and it's something which tooooo many of us are completely ignorant of.
The Bible says that in the end times, there will be a "falling away."
A widespread apostasy. A mixing of Christianity with the ways of the world.
You can call it paganism, or whatever view. But THIS question better make ALL us professing Christians wake up and THINK!

Matthew 4:8 Again the Devil took him along to an unusually high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, 9 and he said to him: “All these things I will give you if you fall down and do an act of worship to me.” 10 Then Jesus said to him: “Go away, Satan! For it is written, ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’”

Many bible translations in Hebrew 1:6 translates the greek word 'proskyneo' but this does not correspond with the commandment of worshipping God alone,thus many worship Jesus...i doubt if Jesus is happy if people worship him cause he clearly said who we should worship...as such Christians worship Jehovah, and gives obeisance/honor to Jesus as God has given him all authority.

What do you mean about the Roman Empire. In it's later years the Empire was responsible for spreading Christianity throughout the world. It was also Christianity's military arm for a time. Get your facts straight.

Are you referring to Judaism as the religion of my Messiah? Jesus came to fulfill the prophecies that the Jewish scriptures said about the Messiah. Jesus Christ is God incarnate and, therefore, He is who I worship.

The only way to Our Father is through His Son, Jesus The Christ. I worship God.

May God Bless you.

They say they worship Jesus, but when you ask them about some of the weird things they believe, they quote Revelations, or Leviticus, or some other old testament book. How often, when people ask questions about Christianity here, do the Xians quote the words of Jesus? They don't. Why? . . . Because Jesus talks about loving your neighbor as yourself . . . about that which you do for the least of your brothers, you do for him . . . about turning the other cheek . . .

But Xians would rather talk about lakes of fire and eternal suffering, the devil, about how God ignores the prayers of people of other faiths, and about how other religions are godless cults.

Funny thing is, they go around insulting other people's religious faith, then they wonder why people are so antigonistic towards them.

Oh, and you Xians, please don't tell me that you believe people have the right to believe what they want to believe. Of course you do. This isn't about rights. This is about how you insult people of other faiths by saying that their religion is a cult and that God ignores their prayers. No wonder people attack you.

Our Messiah has no religion. As a matter of fact Jesus hated "religion". He was a Jew, yes but he came to save all people who are called Christians

The Messiah came in the name of His Father (YHVH) and came to make it known. His name was Yahoshua (yod he vav shin ein). It is well established that "churchianity" is a great threat to truth, and true worship. "The name of Elohim (YHVH) is blasphemed among the nations because of (His "followers") "Rom 2:24 (paraphrased to clarify)
