Also, where in the Bible, does it say that the religion of the followers of Christ is christanity? From what i know, Christ was not even his name, nor was it Jesus! The name "Christ" comes from the Greek word Christos which means the annointed. That is, Christ is a Greek translation of the Hebrew title "Messiah". The name "Jesus" on the other hand, is a latinized version of the Hebrew name Esau.

Your right Prophet Jesus (Isa) did not say that and for the guy who answered “Jesus is worshiped because He is God. He and the Holy Spirit pointed to God even though they were also God.” Straight out your WRONG. First of all Jesus is not God neither the Son of God. God does NOT resemble the creation. “Whatever you imagine in your mind god is different from it”. Jesus was a person he lived just like we do, he was in need meaning he needed food, clothing etc….“god does not need any of his creations “. You understand god is not like us because we are in need we live we die we get sick how can you say such things. God is attributed with an eternal and everlasting life, which does NOT resemble our life.
God is One- not meaning a number because a number can be taken away from. It means the one who does need ANYTHING, yet everything else needs Him. His existence does not end.
Everything that exists, except Allah the Creator, is created by Him(The words "He", "His", and "Him" used in reference to Allah must not be construed to refer to gender.) Allah has full power over every bit of His creation. Allah is not created; He existed always, having His attributes. Allah will never perish, nor will His attributes diminish. The attributes of Allah are uncountable, among which are: He has knowledge of all His creation; He sees the seeable things; and He hears the hearable things. His knowing, seeing and hearing are in no way similar to ours. Allah's Kalam (Speech) is not made up of language or sound, nor does it resemble the speech of man in any way. Allah does not need any of His creation for His existence and He does not resemble any of His creation in any way. This means that Allah is not a man or a woman; He is not "a Father" or "a Mother". Allah does not have a wife, a mother, a father, a son, or a daughter; He has no equal or partner. Allah does not divide into parts. No creation has "a part of Allah " in him, nor can any creation become like Allah. He is the only God.

Jesus Christ was not God, he was The only begotten Son of God, & Yes Christ means the annointed one & the Messiah, Now you say that our bible does not even say that his name was called Jesus, There are several verses I can use But Read St. Matt.1:21 Where the angel of God appear unto Joeseph, & said that his wife Mary shall have a child & his NAME SHALL BE CALLED JESUS,

Christ never told his followers to worship him. In fact, he chided his followers for calling him Master.
He only said that he is the way, the truth and the life. And that the way to God is through him.
This is the same message brought by all prophets and messengers before Christ, and the one after him Muhammad pbuh. In fact, some Muslim saints in their intoxication with God, has also announced that they are The Truth like Bayazid Bistami when he was in a state where he perceives onlt The Almighty.

You thought his name was Christ? Anyone with even an elementary understanding of the Christian religion knows that he isn't Mr. Christ. Jesus is related to Esau, Yeshua, Joshua, etc. My name, Peter, is Peter in Germany, Pedro in Mexico, Pietro in Italy, Pierre in France, Petr in Russia, etc.

He never said worship me. \
I have always wondered about the names both in the N.T. and O.T. We have also Immanuel (spl), Morning Star and many others. Jesus was a very common name in that time. The names in the O.T. prophecies about the messiah aren't Jesus' names. When was he ever called Immanuel for example. Does being called Esau twice constitute reincarnation in your opinion? I would say it does. That's if his name was Jesus. Or, is all this about Jesus in the N.T. made up?

The angels proclaimed at His birth that "thou shalt call His name Emannuel" meaning "God is with Us". Now to your question. At no time have I read that Jesus commanded man to worship Him. I'm not a bible scholar. He is referred to over and over as the Son of Man. It is written that He came and lived His entire life here as a man subject to every temtation knwpown to man yet without sin. He was betrayed ,nailed to the cross having commited no crime,died ,went to hell and took the keys to hell and damnation thereby defeating Satan. He susequently eventually ascended to Heaven and is seated on the right hand side of God until God makes His enemies His footstool. Then at God's command He shall come gather God's children home. At that time EVERY knee shall bend and EVERY head shall bow acknowledgeing His divinity. Holy Scriptures

The author created dialogues between the primary character, Jesus, and various secondary characters, both human, and immortal. This included the re-introduction of the primary character, God, from the first work [though as a weak, single-dimensional, almost background feature].
Because the character traits of all the characters were obviously not intended to cause reader identification, the intentions of the author probably were not an attempt to influence the belief systems or behavior of the readers.

When Jesus referred to God as his father, I think he was speaking in the same way regular people call God their father. He said he was one with the father, but probably meant it as he found God in his spiritual journey. The actual words of Jesus are very different from the religion invented by Paul. Jesus taught a message of baptism and forgiving each other. Paul taught a message of a wrathful God that had his son killed to be able to forgive sin. You are correct in your question. However, the Romans created the religion so long ago and repeated their lies so many times, it is now deeply entrenched in society.

Christos also translates into Hebrew as Messiah.
Christianity as we know it today was started by Paul who created the doctrine of salvation through jesus' death and resurrection apart from the law.
