How did Christianity get started?

,Christian' at that point in time had nothing to do with a belief in a man-god-savior named Jesus. The association of the term christian to mean the worshippers of Jesus did not happen until the 4th century.

The one we call "Jesus" predates this entire creation. He was introduced to us in the garden of Eden when God tells Lucifer that the seed of the woman would bruise his head and Luci would bruise His heel. That was one reason for the horrid genetic manipulations trying to disrupt man's DNA. If you look closely where the flood of Noah is introduced, we are told that Noah was perfect in his generations. Not a perfect man, or even a good man, but chosen because his DNA wasn't screwed with.

There is much deep knowledge hidden in plain view but the bulk of the idiots that start Christianity bashing threads don't know anything of which they talk. They are just loud empty banging of a drum.

Christ is Greek "Christos" which means Messiah, Mashiach, it looks different in different languages but is the same.

Christian was a derogatory term that the Romans nicknamed the early church people referring to them as "little Christs".

Now, Messiah will return and establish His Kingdom. The secular jewish people of the day wanted a military general to overthrow Rome but how short sighted is that considering the havoc that the Egyptians, Assyrians, and Babylonians wrecked upon Israel at different times. The self centered lot wanted themselves rescued but rejected their own Savior.

Adam - Man
Seth - Appointed
Enosh – Mortal
Kenan – Sorrow
Mahalalel – The blessed God
Jared – Shall come down
Enoch – Teaching
Methuselah – His death shall bring
Lamech – Despairing
Noah – Comfort and rest

Put those name meanings into a complete sentence and you get: Man (is) appointed mortal sorrow, (but) the blessed God shall come down teaching. His death shall bring (the) despairing comfort and rest

From Genesis, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacoh has declared His promises. This is what "jewish people" don't share with the world - ALL of scripture declares the Christ.

The bible cannot be the word of god. A real god would have no need of such a book.
He would assert his divinity and authority directly. Not through a hodge podge collection of ideas and surmises.
It is designed to prey upon weak minds.
People in general have religious need wired into their brains and the bible has been packaged and designed to cater to those people.
There is no way any rational person can take it as the literal word of 'god'.
A god who requires the hand of man to do the job for him is not a god!
If this god was real we'd know about it...daily!
He wouldn't remain invisible and silent, that is for sure. For a god so desperate to have us believe in him he sure doesn't do much about it.
He wants to save us from hellfire but leaves it to the printing press and a few nuts to tell us.
Come on!
Hello, God? No, I thought not :-)

Ps. As a man in my 20's I went through the whole born again thingy and after 2 years of it I was disgusted. The people involved were not worth knowing. The fake joy was most demoralising. The 'love' all around in the name of christ was absurd and the whole thing was embarrassing to put it mildly. It was like everyone knew it was bullshit but kept it up for appearances. Needless to say I got out. That was 20 years ago :-)

The jewish people never expected their Messiah to become God and never would have made him into a god to be worshipped after his death. They were monotheists. The dead man becoming a god idea was all from Rome.

Silly. Uninformed. And ignorant.

The Romans hated the Christians and were trying to eliminate them. They had no reason to help create Christianity or Jesus' persona.

The words of Jesus are preserved in the record of the book of Matthew as he says "before Abraham was I Am" meaning he was claiming to be God & Creator.

The books of John & Paul also make it clear Jesus was God manifest in the flesh.

The entire Jewish sacrificial system was about Jesus the lamb who takes away the sins of the world.

Those books you are referring to were writings and teachings of several religions that were adapted and redacted and reworded to support their new universal (catholic) religion. And then for years afterward burned the scrolls, books and libraries that contained the teachings in their original form so that now the evidence of their massive fraud is well hidden
In the secret vaults of the Vatican.

The entire NT was completed before the close of the 1st century. The RC did not form until the 4th century.

Okay you convinced me you know jack shit. Congrats

So Jesus preached his message in Greek?

Thanks for sharing your insight

Next time he comes with power and great glory, the whole world will see.

If Jesus had to die to take away the sins of the world, why is the world still filled with sin?

Uncle Fester farted.

What about Metatron? The little YHWH concept? Isn't that basically Enoch playing the role of Jesus?

is it possible the books of Enoch were removed from the bible to obscure the role they played in the development of the Jesus mythology?

So are jewish people still waiting for a Messiah to save them from hell?

damn. It doesn't bother any of you christians that your religion is based on the expectation of a jewish messiah that the jewish people don't even have at this point?

I'm going to have to look this up on google. No idea

When I learned about the little YHWH thing, it made it appear that for some jewish people Enoch was the messiah and he existed before jesus

Josephus's two major tomes are History of The Jewish War and The Antiquities of the jewish people. In these complementary works, the former written in the 70s, the latter in the 90s AD, Josephus mentions every noted personage of Palestine and describes every important event which occurred there during the first seventy years of the Christian era.

At face value, Josephus appears to be the answer to the Christian apologist's dreams.

In a single paragraph (the so-called Testimonium Flavianum ) Josephus confirms every salient aspect of the Christ-myth:

1. Jesus's existence 2. his 'more than human' status 3. his miracle working 4. his teaching 5. his ministry among the jewish people and the Gentiles 6. his Messiahship 7. his condemnation by the Jewish priests 8. his sentence by Pilate 9. his death on the cross 10. the devotion of his followers 11. his resurrection on the 3rd day 12. his post-death appearance 13. his fulfillment of divine prophesy 14. the successful continuance of the Christians.

In just 127 words Josephus confirms everything ­ now that is a miracle!

BUT WAIT A MINUTE ... Not a single writer before the 4th century ­ not Justin, Irenaeus, Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, Cyprian, Arnobius, etc. ­ in all their defences against pagan hostility, makes a single reference to Josephus' wondrous words

No Christians left to preach the message?

Maybe it's a lost cause then

i think its start was similar to the tea party.
A man teaching good intentions and morals started a movement. But when the rich saw its potential, they highjacked it and declared the man a god. Then came the compromises for unity and we got christmas and easter and sunday worship and which compromised the original message.

I think it started with a guy named Jesus but not really sure

I think that's the explanation I want to believe in most.

At least, if it were true, then at the foundation of the religion is a guy who truly had a good message and believed it.

The Gospel According to John Titor the Evangelist

So the Essenes were a group of Buddists in the Middle East.
The Jewish Essenes glorified a guy named Yeshu that the J.ews hated.
Yeshu brought Egyptian mystery religion to his fellow J.ews and was hanged for it.

Then around 70, Titus conquered Jerusalem and burned the temple. There were two eclipses and this was Titus' opportunity to create a religion in which the Emperor of Rome was the savior of the J.ews and good times would come.

Many years later Constantine, who is directly related to Titus, creates the official Roman religion. He combines all the popular gods of 325. Hesus of Gaul. Krishna of India and Yeshu of the Notzri Essenes Jewish reformers. Then he made him God.

All churches of Mithras were then converted into Churches of Christ.

And that is how it went down.

Saint Paul is a real guy. But his life was romanticized by the bible and the Romans. He was Apollonius of Tyana. Paul, Damas and Lucius all either royal Romans or doctors and teachers of these Romans -- are the writers of the New Testament. There was even a competition between the Flavians and the Pisos as to which family would be remembered in history as the Royal Bloodline of Christ.

its a recopy of scientific metaphors from ancient Egypt..for its written,there's NOTHING new under the sun...let me quote the word again> There's Nothing New Under The Sun...
