You see God or Jesus has never mention or called any of His Children "christians". And The FATHER scolded me very hard when i was referring to that word about me. And Strongly He said to me "WHO CALLED YOU A CHRISTIAN" and I answered, And His reply was "WHAT DID I CALL YOU"! and he brought all of that to my understanding. believe me, I did not need a "interpreter" to understand all of that, in The tone he Spoke!
He said that to me. he did not tell me to go out and teach it. I know what a direct affirmation is. So I do not demand anyone to follow my lead in this.
And I know many have not went through any of that.
And the word Christian has many definitions, and all of those are true, because those definitions are true in this world. they are define on paper and books and denominations and There are over 66 million christian denominations. with a mixture of all kinds and many of my true brothers and sisters in Christ also wears that name as well and in those denominations many speaks the Truth, and we all come short in many ways, and Mostly all the early new testament congregations where corrupted doing all kinds of sins because many live among the many different kinds of worship of meaning of other gods all their lives and they also brought many of those practices into "The WAY" then later they gave it another name "Called "christianity" for in Jesus time, there was never such a name that of "christian' or Christianity and Jesus never said' upon this Rock i build my Church. but he said and the same word is alive today: Upon this rock i will build my" Congregation", not many churches, not many congregations but One. And doing it, saying it "THE WAY" Jesus spoke it, gives it a significance to me.
He could have said; by his own words; "Upon this Rock i will build My "CIRCE" the word church existed then but it was pronounce "CIRCE" the house of GOD. But he didn't use that word, That word was there and the people used the word "Circe" meaning church every day. How come Jesus did not use it
Another note: In mine generation growing up the word "Christian" meant
"CHRISTLIKE". if you call yourself a "Christian" meaning your are just like "JESUS".
[ChristLike]. I have never been like Jesus! And since i been born that definition has gotten so many definitions, everybody. every denomination got their own definition what a "Christian" is.
New International Version (1 John 2:6)
"Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did."
,
But I have not change. My Mother, used to sing a song
"Lord I want to be a Christian in my heart" and she could sing it, in the house, and I learn too, and could sing it powerful just like her. Pastors used to call her up to sing that song. I song that song all my life in the park as i went on walks, on the Job, i song it at her,Funeral. Everyone thought they knew her favorite song.
"Lord i want to be a christian IN MY HEART" "
LORD I want to be Like JESUS in my HEART" LORD I want to be More Loving in MY HEART" "
LORD, I want to be MORE HOLY IN MY HEART" "
LORD I WANT TO BE A CHRISTIAN IN MY HEART". and afterwards people came up to me, and ask me where do i get that song, and they have never heard it. And I said , WHAT! what you mean you ain't never heard it i been sing THAT song since i was a child, My mother song that many of times in churches! my Mother could sing that song and mean it! And that is how she taught me with a belt!

You better mean it! Back then they whip "THE HELL OUT OF YOU"! I would sing so hard and mean it, she start crying!

She had "The HOLY GHOST" i didn't know what that was! But I could tell, I was calling on GOD!

To get me away from that belt , you couldn't fool her, she didn't want a pretty voice. She wanted you to sing to GOD! from your Heart and SOUL!

She could tell the difference! And you song to him too!

"GOD"! from your SOUL and heart ! And All the ANGELS heard you Too! . The christian , my wife do you think she would teach our children any biblical songs and how to pray! the Christian, I but am the devil! in the eyes of the church.
She apologize ,to me my mother a lot in her old age. But I thanked her, and told her, all the time I loved her, I love her for whipping me and many times she drew blood with those :SWITCHES And I told her and My dad, many times I love you, and even if i knew as I know now and all I went through, I would choose you as my PARENTS, and being a "CALVINIST" Reformed Faith, later on and I came to understand the grace of GOD. My Father kept me from Going to College fresh out of HighSchool with a "FOOTBALL" Scholarships I had 7 offers, colleges coming to my house. they kept it from me. And he got me a job where he worked , him "A License Millwright" into a steel plant only 17 he made me forge my birth certificate and work among a debauchery of men. Or who i thought was men..
By be working there, he stop drinking, And those men watch me grow up, they laugh at me, when I went to college, they joke about me, before it was all over, i was a leader in everything< you name it, i was the best, in everything million dollar equipments, Taking in ships of Steel from China, Documentations, going to other Steel plants for them, Investigating steel, UAW PLANT STEWARD, I had my own office and read my Bible about 6 hours everyday on Saturday read all 8 hours, and if Sunday another 8 hours, take any time off for school, Going to Canada taking time off, no problem they knew i had Horses, take time, anytime, I end up making more money than everybody else Even the Superintendent got saved before i did, would tell people how he pick stones out of my arm, when I drop my motorcycle, for 10 years until i got seriously hurt at work, and they paid for college education in Computer science, Court AWARDED by the free choice of My Accusers their Insurance company. fully awarded me and the courts "DIsable"me for life. my dad stop drinking, before i was 19 he change by me being there,

And Police Reservist and A" Photographer",A Powerful Martial Artist Full contact and in weaponry, i could have been a "Pilot" too, For my leader was one, when i was his assistance in the UAW, a license Pilot he tried to get me into it and he would teach me, But He smoke weed,, I was not getting up into airplane with "pilot smoking WEED!

And another guy wanted me take up "Scuba diving" not me! The Great LAKES! Ain't no way in the world, i getting in that water! They tried tried. I was for years the youngest person there! And the owners complement my DAD, how good he raised me. And he told me I told them I was not there, i was always gone, his mother raised him.
"My father was the anchor, He only if can remember him whip me maybe 4 times in my life as a little kid, I feared him! He was A MAN! never curse never raise his voice at me. I did what he told me! and my Mother backed him, up! did not your daddy tell you to do this. then do it!

All my life, she said, do what your Father said.! Ands she meant it! My dad wash clothes he cook,He baked cakes better than Betty Crocker, He hung out clothes, he mop, he cut grass. And he got drunk too, about once Month and spend all of the money!

I mention all of that, and how the neighbors laugh at him, and i would help him walk to the house and tell him, lean on me daddy and he would smile at me and say ok. And when I Eulogized his Funeral I told about those days, And I said they laugh at him at certain times, and I told them .But they did not see him at nite, when he came into our room and check on us to make sure we had not kick off the covers in the middle nite, and straighten out our covers and tuck our feet in tight . Mostly every night this he did. And i told them he was not perfect but i love my daddy and My mother, taught me how to love him! My Mother and those old women back then were "WOMEN OF GOD" and not "Politicians and Career Oriented" Respectable christians role models DISNEYWorld Centric and a worshipper of The God of Hedonism the Host of Demonic Forces and the church got open arms and ROOTING this behavior on! Having many pray to god to enforce and multiply this behavior of "Hedonism"! and selfishness. Never at home , trips and Disney adventures, little leagues, always got the kids in the streets among the Hosts.
My mother whip me everyday maybe until about 13 14, i told my brother, I am tried of getting these whippings , I told him we get a whipping everyDAY, HE SAID well what are you going to do, I remember, me and him both sitting on the Kitchen floor, And I said, "I am going to start doing what she told me to do, matter of fact I m going to do it, before she tells me to do it! And lo and behold, that is what started me doing things before being ask to do something if it seems to be a order of things,
So I went beyond the face of DUTY, And I still do it, When i got married, I wash the clothes, i mop, i did the dishes, i iron the kids clothes i vacuum . i dust, cook, help the kids with their school work, parents and teachers meetings and volunteer to read to kindergartens and MARtial Arts, college, My wife said to me one time, sit down your act like { A female dog]you make me tired. And she did not used the word female she said somethings else, I read to them and song songs with them, A prayed every night until they went to sleep! I re tuck them at midnight go back into the room and check on them. I took them to the doctors, I cut grass, did the the flowers out side and inside!
And when trouble arise in my home, The Christian and "The devil"!,,,,,,,, I ain't going, , flying to Rome, Paris, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, Barbados, Greece, China, and her pastor going to tell me what I need to do, And when I should go to bed my wife! You see i keep stuff to myself, I didn't bring my laundry into the streets, I am a person i don't tell stuff about people, personal stuff, and they know it , like my wife she knows i don't talk that stuff and my mother knew it and my dad aunts and uncles, i knew secrets to me when i was a kid, they tell me everything!

I would never even brings things up to anyone, and some how people would tell me stuff and I listen, i do not give solutions, I guess, i was the" confession booth" Strangers come up and tell me stuff they have done. All my life it seems.
I will say this again Pastors telling men when they should go to bed with his own wife, And seeing other men wives behind close door and pastors telling them, don't go to bed with him until he does this, and to tell him no finance no romance

I am the wrong one! And my wife how to treat me and any other other man! these PASTORS in this era are nothing but beta wolves and full of demons! I believe, 1 out of a million are really called and chosen of God! And Husband and WIFE Pastor team, you better run, be cause you are "Guilty" by Association!
You got you me started, another "Short STORY". I wanted to stop, I wanted to erase.

like i have done many times, when I thought it was just me venting. But this time, a unction not to erase.
I hope I address "christian" in answering to your address.
But one day, I know We will be just like him!
King James Bible ( 1 John 3:2)
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear,
we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
You have to excuse my grammar and spelling, i am tired now.
