Christians, If you had to pick a Christian (NOT Jesus or people from the Bible)--?

Question

--from more than 500 years ago as a role model, who would you pick and why?

You people arn't paying attention! I said NOT FROM THE BIBLE.

I also said FROM AT LEAST 500 YEARS AGO!

Answer 1

I would choose Irenaeus, he was such an influential person in our interpretation and understanding of Christinaity. A person who wrote so wisely about the faith. A wonderful early church father.

His writings give a lot of creditionals to those who claim very early dates for many of the New Testament books giving them even more authenticity.

UPDATE:
My answer is valid. Not in the Bible. Over 500 years ago.

Answer 2

Do you be conscious that all the examples are uncomplicated moves, following the regulation. you be conscious, Christians keep on with the bible the position it says we are now no longer to stay below the regulation, we are to stay by potential of religion. Romans 4:15-16 John 16, that the comforter will stay interior believers. in uncomplicated words a Spirit can stay interior someone. also definite the Spirit change into already there, in spite of the undeniable fact that it change into no longer residing contained in the believers yet. So, definite the comforter is the Holy Spirit. maximum critically, Muslims do not trust who Jesus truly is. Jesus is God the Son. John a million:a million interior the starting up change into the be conscious, and the be conscious change into with God and the be conscious change into God. He change into with God interior the starting up. top the following it says that the be conscious change into God. The be conscious all of us understand is Jesus. how are you going to maintain on with someone you do not trust? Matthew 20:18-19 Jesus reported.. they are going to condemn Him to demise. and could hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. on the third day he will be raised to existence! The Quran denies the very words of Jesus!

Answer 3

Dr. Charles Stanley,
an excellent Bible teacher....
whom is currently on TV.....
and Pastor Jim Custer, of the Grace Brethren Church in Westerville, Ohio.....
among others.

Answer 4

I would pick Martin Luther. In a time when the church was mired with corruption, he called people back to the teachings of the early church. Most importantly, he reminded us that what God desires most is a relationship with his people.

Answer 5

John Wycliffe. He had the courage to have the bible translated into English, taking it out of the hands of the religious "elite" and into the hands of common people, that they could read for themselves the word of God.

Answer 6

I would choose the first man made Adam. And teach him a couple of things.

One would be that if he would have been more attentive to his wife she wouldn't have been talking with a slimy, tricky snake.
I mean come on! First he was "lonely" and then he had his companion and she had to go talk to a slimy snake ???

Answer 7

I don't know not a christian. I do think Lord Charlemagne was a good king, even though by today's standards he was a complete tyrant.

Answer 8

Peter, he denied Jesus three times. Jesus still forgave him. Peter showed the true side of humanity.

Answer 9

Beethoven

Beethoven's faith in God as experienced through art is an important theme in his conversation books, his belief that art is a force unto itself, and that "God is closer to me than others of my art", infuse his search for redemption through and in music.

Answer 10

Polycarp?
