I have repeated in my testimony, right here on talkjesus. why I refused to claim to be called a christian, even my dying mother knows i refuse to call myself a christian and i always told the Truth why i am not one. I will not go against The LORD GOD ALMIGHTY who has had corrected me and discipline me very hard about what mankind have decided to call me. And I FEAR GOD, and will try my best to surrender and be a obedient "Slave" to Jesus Christ who is My
[our] LORD and MASTER. I know i am not perfect. and most likely the worst sinner that anyone can image right here on "TalkJESUS". And I cannot call myself a christian. By all of the difference definitions of what a christians is
[Etymology] that over 40 million denominations and 2,6 Billion christians throughout the world, and the languages and all of the indiviual cultures cannot agree with one another. And well documented and I am not "Speculating" ,their own private definitions and in constance fighting against one another on what it is and what it is not. I am not taking sides. If a person says he is a christian, I believe he or she is a christian, and I will not judge that person, but will honor them whom He or she claims they are And my thoughts will not go any further.
to cipher where they fall among the 40 million or the 2.6 Billion.
I have met strangers from many nations and cultures, Some have approach me both male and female, even with tears in their eyes and said these very words "all of them
"you are my brother and i love you" "Koinonia" had fallen upon us out of no where, and we never ever saw one another before and heard one another speak one word, and of different "Languages" not once in all of these years maybe a couple of times a person have called me a christian, normally because i have reach in my pocket to give money, they hope for a dollar, when I reach in i have given them a whole lot more than they could ever have expected. and then the beggar would light up like a Christmas tree on a dark night. and have said you are a Christian. My response, no i am not. "I am A Child of The LIVING GOD". as I would notice their faces, would have such amazement. it bewilders me. I say nothing more. And i walk on, because i have no 'unction' by "The Spirit of The LIVING GOD" to say anything, but every now and then i would look back and i would see them standing there and just look at me as i walked away, as if they are in Bewilderment as well. And i give it no more thought.
So well documented in "christianity" Historical Records and in The Natural History Books as well, throughout The WORLD and "The Historical Books of Anthropology" both Biblical and Non-Biblical Records as well. The conflicts of "Christianity" and the different practices. And I condemn not one. for history has its own voice.
I cannot bow to what i am not , but i can identify that who I am, For my Father which is in Heaven have told me "personally" who i am. "Indicatively". I cannot go against HIM
what HE has Told me personally, I cannot please 'The created creatures" of "GOD" and please Him too.
In my earlier years in my walk in Christ i did,
I preached to be like, I taught to win their approval. The approval of christians and non-Christians alike. They would say: I loved to heard how he proclaims the Word, oh how he can "PREACH" the "word of GOD' they Loved the way i sounded. And How i knew the very words that came out of the BOOK. I did not need a Script or a Out line. But could bring heaven to earth,
'they said" not me. And i did not preach the "word of faith" or "The Prosperity Gospel". I preach THE very WORD of GOD" and they loved it. they would bring they sons and daughters , cousins, mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, and even the little kids, 6,7, 10, 12, 14, 18 years of age. Would line up and says we have never heard a preacher like You preach GOD"S WORD. All week even in their dreams they could still hear me. And my preaching made them wanting to please GOD. and walk in His ways and "surrender" all to Jesus.
I know how to please christians, non christians, devil worshippers, IDOL god worshipers. Muslims, Roman Catholics, Luthers, Jehovah Witnesses, Pentecostals, Presbyterians, those of Universalism, Church of The Chaldeans, Greek Orthodox Church, The Community of The Jewish People, Methodist all Branches, the Church of The Lebanese
[Maronite church], and many more if i dare to remember, of my "Brothers and Sisters" that i got to know in the LORD. and never did the word christian or christianity ever came out of our mouths. And My [ours] Father brought this unto my attention as we walked together as the writer have wrote; "in the cool of The DAY".
American Standard Version
It is written in the prophets, And
they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard from the Father, and hath learned, cometh unto me.
PS. I will try to be careful in the treads in which i will address in the future, that I may try to live peaceful as possible with all men.
I have nothing against christians all 2.6 billion and counting. I am just not one of them. My conscious is at peace with me that The World cannot give me. I am at peace and all is well with my soul.
Do any remember when we used to say: "How is your soul doing." and some would say:
"it is well with my SOUL" and they would smile.
And
"Salutations" my friend.
"It is well with my soul" and I know it is "Well with your Soul" as well. humbly speaking. Your brother in Christ, our LORD.
