WHAT IS A CHRISTIAN?
The term Christian was used by the
Greek culture over 100 years prior to Yahusha’s birth. Rome and Alexandria,
Egypt were the western world’s repositories of knowledge.
A merger of ancient Egyptian, Greek,
and Roman cultures took place from 300 BCE to 200 CE.
The Greek deity Serapis replaced
Osiris as the consort of Isis, and the devotees were called “Christians.”
Hadrian (Roman emperor 117 to 138)
built the Pantheon (temple to all
gods) using concrete to form the world’s largest domed structure (domes
being a pagan temple design). He wrote that
Serapis and
IESU were the same deity.
Confusion and syncretism between cultures at Alexandria continued well into
the 4th century CE. The Alexandrian cult, or
church fathers, worked
feverishly to synthesize paganism with the Messianic movement, hatching
their brand under the Serapis’ followers name,
Christians.
The followers of Yahusha were called
Natsarim (branches, watchmen, guardians – see Acts 24:5). We guard
(shamar) the Name and the Word.
To the Greeks, the impaled Mashiak is
foolishness (1 Cor. 1:23), so the Greek term “xpristianos” (meaning idiot)
seemed appropriate to them. The Greek term CHRISTIANOS in that day was a
term foisted on them, causing suffering as Peter writes about it at 1 Peter
4:15-16.
The scorn of being labelled a
murderer, thief, doer of evil, or meddler is, in that day, understood as
being an idiot or “cretin.”
Here is the context of this
rarely-used term, christianos:
“For do not let any of you suffer as a murderer, or thief, or
doer of evil, or as a meddler. But if
(one suffers)
as a xpistianos, let him not be ashamed, but let him esteem Alahim in this
matter.”
– 1 Peter 4:15-16
It was a term of scorn, xpistianos
being the etymological source for our modern word CRETIN.
We should never call one another such
a term. Essentially, it means idiot, but revisionism has caused
mass-amnesia.
Please Google the term CRETIN, and
learn the truth.
