<True>Christianity is a very new religion.....?

Question

I have heard so many people say that Catholics are not True Christians. This question is directed at the people who say this.

From the information I have, Jesus' own disciple Peter was said to be the first pope. Therefore Jesus' disciples carried out meaning Catholicism (as opposed to Orthodox or Protestant).

Then isn't it true that started with the Reformation in the 16th century? Not Jesus' disciples?

Answer 1

Orthodox Christianity started at the same time as Roman Catholicism....

Other than that, interesting question......

Answer 2

RCC has always claimed to be Christian. Peter never held any claim to be the first pope. That was the Catholics.

As for the Claim to be "true Christians", their actions prove them to no more be true Christians than the other 10,000 religions claiming the same thing.

True Christians go all the way back to Abel, as Jesus worshiped only his Father, which God Abel worshiped. The wording may change but the worship did not. True Christians follow the path of worship Jesus taught. Scribes and Pharisees, the clergy and lawyers of the day, claimed to worship the same God Jesus did. Of course, they proved to be liars as most of the 10.000 do today. The RCC is just one of them.

True Christianity does exist today. It is one living up to the standards found in the Bible daily. There is only one and Satan hopes you will never bother to look.

Answer 3

Christianity by the name may be new. But the scripts of Bible rates to thousands of years old. You just can not get confused with the technical terminology or conflicts within the groups. Be a follower and try never give chance to make a religion as a debate. Sorry if I am rude but truth always sharp.

Answer 4

The teaching of Jesus and the Apostles as well as the writings of the Old Testament prophets have been recorded in God's Word, commonly known as the Bible.

The religious organizations which follow the Bible are teaching real Christianity.

The religious organizations which don't aren't.

As to the question which ask are Catholics really Christians, you can and should ask the same question about Baptists.

Some Baptists are Christians, some are not. Only God Himself knows for sure who is who.

Some Catholics are Christians, some are not. Only God Himself knows for sure who is who.

I could state the above sentence again and you could fill in the blank with any denomination of your choice.

Some _________ are Christians, some are not. Only God Himself knows for sure who is who.

Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount which is recorded in Matthew chapter seven:

The Narrow and Wide Gates

13"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

A Tree and Its Fruit

15"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
21"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' 23Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'

So the question you should be asking is where is the fruit in this person's life or in that person's life?

The same can be said about religious organizations.

When a religious organization sticks their tongues out at all the others and says, "We are true followers of God and you are not!" I have very serious questions about them.

Real followers of Jesus know that they are not members of an exclusive club.

There are some Christians in most denominations.

The amount or the percent will be a factor of how accurately the Word of Truth or God's Word is preached.

That's what I think anyway.
