The Origin Of Christianity Was Not Pagan, But Pure And Set Apart

There are many who teach lies about the true origins of Christianity. The ancient (not modern) Koine Greek word, "Χριστιανὸν [Christianon / Christian]" is over two-thousand years old, and means : "follower of the Χριστός [Christos / Christ] (Messiah - Anointed One)". The Hebrew word, "משיח [Mashiach]" was ALWAYS rendered in the Koine Greek language as "Χριστός [Christos]" during ancient times, including within the Septuagint Old Testament which was translated from the Hebrew Tanahk by 70 Torah-observant Jews in 250 B.C., and also the original Greek New Testament which was written by the divine inspiration of the Set-Apart Spirit via the hands of several apostles of Yeshua [Jesus] the Messiah during the 1st century A.D.

They shared the Good News with many Greek-speaking Gentiles throughout the world, as He commanded them to do (for the Gentiles did NOT even know the Hebrew language). Messiah instructed them within Matthew 4:19, etc., to follow Him. A follower of the Christos is a Χριστιανὸν [Christianon / Christian], according to the Scriptural Greek New Testament. Anyone who contradicts what the Spirit of truth said via the apostles within these divinely-inspired Scriptures is a deceiver who spreads disinformation and lies. The Roman Catholic church is corrupt, and was formed over 300 years after the time of Messiah during the 4th century A.D., as a syncretistic ecumenical religion (blending some aspects of pagan ritual with Christianity), thus contradicting many of the Scriptures. It also murdered over 50 million non-Catholic (mainly Protestant) Christians during several Inquisitions of the Dark Ages (which lasted over 600 years). The apostles wrote about the Christos and the Christians in a positive context,...but Yohanan [John] wrote about the Roman Mystery Babylon in a negative context, within the prophetic book of Revelation. It is obvious from the context of chapter 18, that many of YaHuWaH's people are Christians within the Roman Catholic church, for He calls them, "My people", and will command them (during the soon-coming apostasy) to come out of her (Mystery Babylon), and avoid the corruption and (pharmakeia) witchcraft magickal sorceries (which the final false prophet will conduct by satanic power to deceive many in the future Luciferian one world government, economy and religion into worshipping and obeying the political prince/king antimessiah, receiving his 666 numerical mark of the beast in order to be able to buy, sell, etc.).

The apostles of Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah were called "Christians" in a positive, NOT "negative" context. Not once did any of the apostles condemn the use of this word title. Anyone who claims otherwise is directly opposing what the Spirit said through the Old and New Testament Scriptures,...and basically calling Him a "liar". We should never grieve, quench nor vex the Spirit, but serve YaHuWaH our Elohim, haElyon (the Most High) with reverential obedience, for He is a consuming fire. This is what the Spirit anointed and inspired the apostles Luke and Peter to write as examples for us to follow : "When he found him, he brought him back to Antioch. Both of them stayed there with the church for a full year, teaching large crowds of people. (It was at Antioch that the believers were first called Christians [Χριστιανός].)" (Acts 11:26)

"However, IF YOU SUFFER AS A CHRISTIAN [Χριστιανὸν], DO NOT BE ASHAMED, but PRAISE God in THIS NAME." (1 Peter 4:16) If you notice, the context is quite clear. Peter never said, "If you suffer as a Nazarene". The word, "Christian" was specifically used for a divine purpose within this passage of Scripture. He also said that we should not be ashamed for suffering as a Christian, but praise God in this name (title).

This is the ancient Koine Greek word, "Χριστός [Christos / Christ]" within the New Testament Scriptures : http://biblehub.com/greek/5547.htm

And here is the Greek word, "Χριστιανὸν [Christianon / Christian] : http://biblehub.com/greek/christianon_5546.htm "Χριστιανός [Christianos / Christians]" : http://biblehub.com/greek/5546.htm Many ignorant believers within the Judaism and Messianic movements openly mock and scoff at Christians, and also add to and take away from what the Scriptures truthfully say. This is strictly forbidden by YaHuWaH, and will be severely punished on Judgment Day. "Not many of you should become teachers, my brethren, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly." (James 3:1)

It is NOT possible for the word, "Christos" to be "pagan in origin" (as many ignorant Messianics erroneously claim it is), for ALL of the ancient Greek Old and New Testament manuscripts used the word, "Christos" in place of the Hebrew, "Mashiach". The word, "Christos" was written at least 39 times within the ancient Koine Greek Septuagint Old Testament (in 250 B.C.), and 538 times within the ancient Koine Greek New Testament (during the 1st century A.D.). Yeshua commanded us to follow Him. So therefore, the words Χριστιανὸν [Christianon / Christian] and Χριστιανός [Christianos / Christians] are a perfect Hebrew-to-Greek translation, and divinely-inspired by the Set-Apart Spirit of YaHuWaH our Elohim. Likewise, Messiah's name, etc,. was written in THREE different languages on the sign which was placed on His cross. If everyone knew Him only in Hebrew as Yeshua, there would have been no need to also write His Name in two other forms from the Greek and Latin languages on the sign above His head when He was being crucified on the execution Taw-Cross for our Redemption and Salvation. The Scriptures say : "And Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And the writing was, Yeshua of Nazareth, the King of the Jews'. Then many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Yeshua was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin." (Yohanan / John 19:19-20) The sign on the execution stake said in Hebrew: Yeshua haNotzri Melech haYehudim In Greek: Iesous ho Nazoraios ho Basileus ton Ioudaion And in Latin: Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum The Scriptures repeatedly state within the New Testament, that the Good News was sent first to the Jews,...and then also to the Greeks. The Message about Messiah was preached first in Hebrew to the natives of Yisrael by the Messiah and His apostles. Then afterwards, several of His apostles preached and also wrote the New Testament epistles in the Koine Greek language for the benefit of the Greek-speaking Jews and Gentiles receiving the Messianic Message of Salvation. It would have been impossible to evangelize the world and spread the Good News (as the Messiah commanded), within the Hebrew language, when the world's international language (of the Gentiles) during that time was Koine Greek (and had already been so for millennia, after the global conquest by Alexander the Great). The apostles Mark (Markos) and Luke (Loukas) originally had Greek names. The apostle Sha'ul (Paulos) was born in Rome, and remained a Roman citizen all his life. Even though Hebrew was the native language of Yisra'El, it was common for the Yisraelites during the time of the Roman occupation to speak to the Gentiles (including the Roman authorities) in the Koine Greek language. The New Testament Scriptures conclusively-prove that the apostles Luke, Paul, Peter, etc., preached to the Gentiles in Koine Greek, and converted many to the Gospel of Messiah.

It is a fact that not one ancient complete Hebrew nor Aramaic New Testament manuscript has ever been discovered anywhere at anytime by anyone. But around 6,000 ancient Greek New Testament manuscripts have in fact been discovered. Instead of believing in vain opinions and theories, we should only believe the Scriptural, historical, linguistical, and archaeological evidences which all collectively prove the factual-truth conclusively 100% beyond ALL reasonable doubt.
May we have an open mind and heart in believing and embracing what the Spirit of truth says within the Old and New Testaments, instead of resisting Him, and becoming contradictory liars.

"Don't add to His words, or He will rebuke you, and you will be proved a liar." (Proverbs 30:6) "You shall not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor take away from it..." (Deuteronomy 4:2) "I testify to everyone who hears the words of prophecy in this book: If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes away from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book." (Revelation 22:18-19)
