A few memories from last year. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To: Terrence Bergh (5761 ) From: Emile Vidrine Thursday, Mar 27 1997 10:56AM EST Reply # of 10697 Terrence---Your words reveal a profound confusion and misunderstanding about Christ and Christianity. It is true there were no Christians before the Crucifixion and the Resurrection but not for the mythical reason that you state. Jesus's Crucifixion and Ressurection ushered in a new Covenant and a New Creation. He was the first born from the dead. All that have faith in Him are Born-Again into the Kingdom of God and join the New Creation--the New Covenant. The argument about when was the term Christian first used is the product of a petty and adolescent mind that is intrigued with Randian-type fables. Christians were called the 'followers of the way' until 'The believers were first called Christians at antioch.' The term Christians was and is the most honorable name that any human can have. Jesus--God-- has honored His people by giving them His own name. The name of Christ and the name Christian are dispised by the antichrist. Your last statement is the crown of your ignorance. ------------------------------ "The followers of this new philosophy, both an outgrowth of and repudiation of classic Judaism adopted the term which was meant to be derisive." Christianity is neither an outgrowth nor the repudiation of "classical Judaism". ------------------------------ Your misusage of the term "classical Judaism" is revealing. It subtly connects the classical Hebrew and Temple religion of the Old Testament to modern Talmudic Judaism. Modern Talmudic Judaism is in fact the complete repudiation and denial of the Classical Hebrew Temple religion of the OT. Christianity, on the other hand, is the fulfillment and essence of the ancient Hebrew-Temple religion of the Old Testament--it is the New Covenant religion based on the FAITH OF ABRAHAM. Christ did not come to destroy but to fulfill. CHRISTIANITY IS THE EPITOME OF THE ANCIENT HEBREW RELIGION. Jesus became the eternal sacrifice for the sins of Israel and the sins of all mankind. Therefore, there is no longer a need for a Levitical Priesthood, nor is there a need for burnt offerings, animal sacrifices or a Temple made of stones and timber. That is why God permanently destroyed the Temple and the Levitical prietshood. The Temple of God under the New Covenant is the heart of His Christian People. We are the Temple of God. All believers of all nations become the Preists of God through the new birth in Jesus's blood. Therefore, there is no need for a genealogy. The new genealogy is counted by faith--all who believe in Jesus become the True Israel of God and seed of Abraham and heirs of the promise. That is why God destroyed the genealogy of the fleshly Israelites in 70 AD. All people of all nations that believe in Christ are the New Nation of Israel. That is why God destroyed the ancient nation of Israel. The people of God are not bound by geography or genetics. The modern conterfeit Israeli state is a toy of satan and one of his last flings of deception. God is permiting this foolishness so that His true children can be separated from the deceivers. The false christians are flocking to satan's counterfeit and exposing themselves. The wisdom of God . --------------------------------------------- In l948, Satan began the establishment of a counterfeit "Israel of God" in the Middle-East. Satan has raised up the "SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN" to deceive false christians and blaspheme the name of Jesus. Satan has regathered false anti-Christ "jews" from every nation and planted them in the old land of fleshly Israel. Satan has enetered many christian churches and pointed to his anti-christ creation as the fulfillment of prophecy. THE SIGNS TO IDENTIFY SATANS COUNTERFEIT-- --They reject God and His Messiah, Jesus Christ. --They have no Levitical Priesthood. --They have no genealogy. --They have no Ark of The Covenant. --They have no Lampstand, no manna, no rod of Aaron, no tablets of stone. --They have no Aaronic Priesthood. ---AND MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL, THEY HAVE NO JESUS CHRIST as LORD AND SAVIOUR The Christian Church is the New Israel of God--the fulfillment of the Old Covenant. Christianity is not a "new philosophy" as Terrence wrongly says, but the very heart and extension of the Old Tesatment Hebrew-Temple religion.
