Nope
Yahshua went to synogogue on Sabbath. He was decidedly Jewish. He never would have sang the song "Just as I am" The preachers were not paid preachers. The only person that was paid in the synogoges was the janitor and if the preacher would have spouted some of the liberal nonsense that gets preached from America's pastors they would have been hauled out into the street and stoned. They actually had a reverance for God's word.
Yahshua would not attend Christmas eve services nor Sunrise services on Easter Sunday. He would not participate in lent. He would be appalled at communion as that is not what he had intended.
WWJD? He would live like a Jew.
David - ? what are you talking about?

No, nor will it ever be. The unfortunate thing about man, is we screw up everything. Man is flawed, it isn't our fault. You can see where the Church really started its downslide-The First Counsel of Nicaea. It's where Constantine took control over the Christian Church. He saw the power the church had, and knew it would be the dominant religion. He held the first counsel in order to unify the Church. The Emperor Constantine sat in the middle to show his power over the counsel. He then heard the different conflict that the multiple sects had, and made his own decision on what would be church police.
Many people Consider Constantine I to be one of the greatest Romans, and a Christian. What they don't realize is that during his life, he worshiped the Sun God. It was not until on his death bed that he became a Christian.

If you are talking about Gods church as a whole then Yes because Jesus is who we follow. Because different denominations and religions as long as they believe in the blood of Jesus Christ and repent their sins they are in Gods church. Is this the church your talking about?

No. Jesus was Jewish. And Christianity has pretty much ignored/disowned anything in their religion to do with Judaism since the official Church came about, . . . which is kinda ironic.

Since Jesus was Jewish, Christianity (I guess that's what you mean by "church people") is not the religion Jesus practiced.

As we know, Jesus was Jewish. If you are referring to the church that Jesus established and whether it exists today, the answer is yes. The Church that Christ founded, bears his name, it is therefore the Church of Christ, no more, no less.
The designations used by the church of Christ are only those which are found in the New Testament for the church and its members. In Acts 11:26 we read that “the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch,” Members of the church honor Christ by wearing this divinely given name. In Romans 16:16, we read: “The churches of Christ greet you.” Christ said, “I will build my church” (Matthew 16:18). The name “church of Christ” simply means that the church belongs to Christ for He is its purchaser and builder. Salvation is found only in the name of Christ (Acts 4:11,12).

I see it differant, I seen Jesus always having a problem with religious people and religious leaders, to me he taught Love. look what Jesus said here.
Passage James 1:27:
27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world

No. Jesus was a rabbi, a holy Jewish man. But he bucked their system and started Judaism for Gentiles, which p!ssed off the established rabbi who arranged for him to get hanged. Jesus included outsiders, like gays. Then his followers were the dispossed, the faith of Roman slaves who worshipped in cattle barns and weren't allowed in the nice, marble temples of the citizens. Now they're the establishment and they oppress the outsider and build multi-million dollar mega-churches full of pedophiles and Humvee drivers who all pray for the world to end and death to come upon all living things. Fa Shizzle.

Sort of, but Jesus didn't start a religion. He founded a Faith.

So are you just going to lump "church people" into one group? What exactly are "church people"? Do wiccans who worship in a church of their own church people? Are members of the Satanic Church chruch people? Define your terms if you want serious answers.
