There are so many types of Christians..?

Question

So only one is "true" to the christians and the other majority are fake and not true.

Why christians divide and separate and change the content of the bible? WHy Jesus statue looks like he Caucasian when he actually Arab. Why the prayers are all in English when the "bible" was originally arab.

Means there are very little, few "true " Christians in the world.

Answer 1

You're also forgetting that the Old Testament, in the Bible, refers to God as Allah in the original writing. This is another thing that has been changed.

Also, according to your logic, the only true "Christians" are actually the Muslims.

Answer 2

It really depends on your definition of a true Christian. If you think a true Christian must have perfect knowledge of how the Savior lived, what He looked like, and the language He spoke... then technically no one is a true Christian today. There isn't any known physical evidence to show if Jesus was Caucasion or if He was Arab.

Also, you are not correct to say that all prayers are in English. English-speaking people are not the only ones to say that they are Christian in their beliefs. People of many different nationalities and languages are Christians. The reason why many of them don't pray in Arab is because they were never taught how to speak or understand Arabic.

And to the best of my knowledge, the Bible was written in Aramaic (not Arabic, but similar to Arabic) and Hebrew. I'm no expert either though, so you'll have to seek out studies to know for sure.


My definition of a true Christian is someone who does their best to follow Christ. According to this definition, there are many true Christians in the world. I disagree with what you are telling us. Jesus didn't say that the way to heaven was to believe that He is Arabic and He didn't say that all prayers should be in Arabic.

Answer 3

The Bible was originally written in Hebrew and Greek, not "arab" as you claim (that is not even a language).

We pray in English so that people will know what they are saying, so that they can really mean it.

And the the apostle Paul said that a person was to "work out [his] own salvation", meaning that Christianity allows some room for individuality. A person is encouraged, within reason, to find his own relationship with Jesus. So not all Christians are exactly the same.

Answer 4

I don't know why Jesus is usually shown as white. I have seen a statue of a black Jesus in a neighbors house of a black family. and I've seen pictures of Mary with baby Jesus as oriental. I think pictures, paintings and statues are made differently to go with the different races because Jesus dies for EVERYONE. As a child, I always pictured God as a mixture of all races, with all of our hair colors and textures, all our eyes colors and skin colors.

Jesus was a Jew, He was born to a Jewish mother, not an Arab mother. And the first bibles were written in Hebrew and Greek then translated to Latin. Over time it has been translated to all alnguages, but the first writtings were not written in Arabic, it was in ancient Hebrew (the OT).

Catholics are the 'true' Christians becuase they still follow the authority of the pope. Jesus appointed St. Peter as the rock. Peter was the first bishop then first pope of the church that Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to protect.

Answer 5

The definition of a real Christian is one who strives to be Christ-like. That's it.

Jesus's skin color is irrelevant. I've seen very few paintings and statues with Him represented as being Caucasian anyway. And Jesus was not Arab. He was Jewish.

The Bible was NOT written in Arab. It was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic. Since Aramaic is a dead language, and Hebrew and Greek are only spoken widely in one region, there is no reason whatsoever why people can't worship in English.

Who Jesus was according to the Bible is the same in ANY language.

Answer 6

Jesus is the head of the Church and christians are part of the church body.

There are so many denominations for several reasons.
(1) Each denomination has a slightly different doctrine or emphasis from the others.
(2) As people started churches, they simply gave them different names.
(3) Denominations are good in that if you attended a Baptist church in one town, and then moved to another town, you could attend a similar Baptist church in the new town. The Lutheran denomination was named after Martin Luther. The Methodists got their name because their founder, John Wesley, was famous for coming up with “methods” for spiritual growth. Presbyterians are named for their view on church leadership - the Greek word for elder is "presbyteros." Baptists got their name because they have always emphasized the importance of baptism.

We, as believers, must believe the same on the essentials of the faith, but beyond that there is great latitude in how a Christian should worship, serve, and live his life. This latitude is what causes so many different flavors of Christianity.

Diversity is a good thing, but disunity is not. If two churches disagree doctrinally, it is fine that they remain separate.

This separation, though, does not lift the responsibility Christians have to love one another (1 John 4:11-12) – and ultimately be united as one in Christ (John 17:21-22).

Jesus will come again as Lord of Lords and King of Kings.

May God bless you and reveal his will in you. In Jesus name. Amen

Answer 7

I think your on to something and yes I believe there are alot less fewer true christians in the world then the polls claim to say I am a christian realy does not mean anything unless you have a relationship with christ and accept him as your savior the many denominations divide the church of christ in heaven we will be all one under christ this world is full of religion we cant expect it to be perfect

Answer 8

Acts 1
Jesus told his followers to go out and spread the word to all corners of the earth. The translation would have to change so that people of different ethnicity would understand it.

As far as Jesus' appearence, what difference does that make? Really? If you can't get past skin color, you'll understand the man that died to save you from sin.

Answer 9

Why do you say only one is 'true', and which one is it? Are you talking denominations?

What support do you have to claim that Jesus was an Arab?

I pray in English, because that is my native tongue. Jesus may have spoken Arabic, but my guess is that he probably spoke Aramaic.

What is 'Christianity' in your view?

Answer 10

Jesus was not an Arab! The Bible was written in Hebrew and in Greek! You really have some serious problems with your history.
