1 | Who are "the least of these?" | Matt 25:40 | YenIsaRap | 219434 | ||
Dear Lionheart Thank you so much for your input, but if you would take notice, the discussion is not an issue of doctrinal differences of any kind, nothing that divisive. The discussion comes down to, personal preference, as to what Jewish, and Gentile believers want to call themselves. When both Messiah, and Christ mean the same thing. "TRUTH" was never an issue. Therefore the differences between, Viewpoints, Standpoints, Vantage points. Which bought about the post to which you have responded. To sum it all up. Opinions are like Noses, everybody has one. Although some noses are far more prominent, while others are more diminutive than the norm, all fulfill the same function quite adequately for the person in possession of any size nose. So it is the proverbial splitting of a hair, while straining at a gnat. The outcome, will not change someone's Salvation. Blessings in Jehovah YenIsaRap |

YenslaRap, Yes but oft time bias, opinions what ever one will throw into the mix will oft become doctrine for certain certain individuals so it's not a matter of everyone's got one. What we teach can make a difference in someones salvation. It's not a matter of splitting hairs it is a matter of teaching the Word (1 Tim 4:16, 2 Tim 2:15 2 PT 1:19,20)not splitting hairs. In Him, lionheart |

Dear Lionheart: Let's do it like this. I say, it is perfectly alright for a Jewish believer in Jesus, to call them self, a Messianic Jew. While at the same time, a Gentile believer in Jesus, would call them self Christian. Is there any scripture to the contrary? Is there Doctrine forbidding this practice? Blessings YenIsaRap |

Hello YenlsaRap, While there is no "Doctrine" forbidding this practice, how then would you view Gal 3:28? - "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus". (NASB) I think Paul's whole argument in Galatians is a defense against Judiazers, is it not? (2:21ff) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

5 | Who are "the least of these?" | Matt 25:40 | YenIsaRap | 219440 | ||
Dear Brad Your right there is no doctrine. Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in (CHRIST) Jesus. From G5548; anointed, that is, the Messiah, an epithet of Jesus: - Christ. Why were they first called Christians at Antioch? Was it not because that was the universal language of the time? If the language had been Latin, then we would all be called ( Sarcalogos ) People all over the world, (excluding the Jews) using their own languages. All calling themselves Christians, only because the New Testament was originally written in Greek, not in Hebrew. Be Blessed YenIsaRap |

So let me get this straight. According to your logic, it would be perfectly alright for a converted Aleut to call themselves a... Messianic Eskimo? | ||||||
7 | Who are "the least of these?" | Matt 25:40 | Dhaniei Zewditu | 219442 | ||
You guys have just shown one of the very reasons I choose to distance myself from a particular term or classification. "Christian" does not paint a pretty picture (neither today nor historically, especially to a Jew). Thank you sweet, Yenisa, you alone have shown what SHOULD be the attitude of a "christian" but sadly, is not practiced by the majority. John, you asked a question, I politely requested not to respond, and a third party choose not to respect my wishes, and just look what happened! Grown adults quibbling over a word. You should be ashemed of yourselves and plead 1 John 1:9 and let it go. I'm sure there must be something more important for you boys to fret over than a word? Dhaniei |

Frankly Dhaniei, I'm more then a little confused by yours and Yen's logic. Others and I asked what I thought and still think are fair questions. And I don't happen to think that any of the questions asked or admonishments given in this thread are offensive in any way. Why are you guys so sensitive about this stuff? You know from here it looks like you are the ones that are making the big deal about it. I really don't understand how or why someone who claims to be a disciple of Jesus Christ would not want to go by His namesake, Christian. If you don't mind I'll ask you again, because I'm quite perplexed by this, so perhaps you could please explain to me why you would not want to go by the name Christian? Candidly my dear, It looks very much to me that you even have some some distain for the term. Dhaniei, my friend, if you don't like the name Christian, or Christians... what on God's green Earth are you doing here at a Christian website? | ||||||
