The Unfaithful Church

THE CHRISTIAN JUDAS!
THE PLIGHT OF THE CHURCH AS THE
UNFAITHFUL SPOUSE
This article is authored by a Christian Mystic and Disciple of TheWay who was himself permitted entrance into the Kingdom -- and has returned to warn modern Christians that many of their foundational beliefs are totally alien to the original teachings of Jesus. This fact is easily demonstrated in the very first principles of the New Covenant -- Jesus did not come to promote belief in the Messiah/Christ -- neither did he come to promote the worship of Messiah/Christ -- Jesus came to teach the people TheWay to become Messiah/Christ, and fulfill the vision of a Kingdom of Priests and a Holy Nation of Anointed (Messiah/Christ) Disciples who are set aside for the service of the Most High God that Jesus taught was the Father of all of mankind. But the majority of the Roman and Greek followers were not interested in a life of genuine change and spiritual transformation, so they made Jesus their God so they didn't have to pick up their own cross and follow in TheWay. Thus, the Church itself betrayed and crucified Christ when it immersed itself in the way of the heathen, and worshiped the messenger instead of imitating the pattern and example that Jesus set as the required standard for all those who called upon the name of the Lord.

CHRISTIANITY EXISTED
BEFORE BIRTH OF JESUS
Today we call ourselves by the Greek word Christian -- but have we ever questioned where the term originated? And what does it mean? The New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge confirms that the name "originated outside of Christian and Jewish circles". The Mercer Dictionary of the Bible states that: "By the late first and early second centuries the name ‘Christian,’ which early believers avoided using of themselves, was beginning to be accepted".
If modern believers were truly sincere in their desire for a more intimate relationship with the Lord, they would immediately want to know and question why "early believers avoided" using the name Christian? When it is realized that even the very name Christian was in use prior to the time of Jesus, we truly begin to grasp the Pagan connection. The name Christian was a term employed to describe one who was an initiate, and understood the inner meaning of the Greek and Roman mystery religions. Thus, the early followers of Jesus refused to be called Christian, and call Jesus the Christ, because the word was used in reference to enlightened Pagans and their gods.
