A few questions about Christianity.

Ofcourse. Just like how Allah wouldn't nothing to do with these so-called muslims. Even in the Qu'ran it says they will meet with Jesus on judgement day.
ZILLA THA GOODFELLA:
@SHALLOW....I emailed 1 of my homegurls from around the way about the Saturday/Sunday issue and this is what she had to say.
I'm sure that you would agree, that as Christians, Jesus is our
example. It is true that he was resurrected on Sunday, but He rested on
the Sabbath from the time of creation when He made "that" day holy.
Even while He was is the grave He showed respect for the Sabbath day by
resting on it. To say that "Jesus didn't pay any attention to the
Sabbath" is inaccurate when He himself kept it holy. It is true that He
believed that it is good to "do well" (good things) on the Sabbath Day
as well as any other. This does not mean that He did "pay any attention
to it." The scripture tells us that "God made the Sabbath for man, not
man for the Sabbath." Jewish leaders of that time made the Sabbath a
burned to people by enforcing specific rules and regulations on how it
should be kept. For example; one could not travel any more than a
certain amount of miles or carry a mat or objects as it would be
considered "working." The Pharisees in their extreme thinking and
inpure motives of power, lost sight of the purpose of the Sabbath. God
created to Sabbath as a day that is set aside to reflect upon Him, his
creation, and family without any outside interruption of the work week.
He is our creator and He made us. He knows what we need and that is why
He set aside this specific day. The reason why many Christians now go
to church on Sunday is because the Catholic Church has changed the day
of worship from Saturday to Sunday. They boldly admit to making this
change ( I can give you further information from their own documents.)
Nevertheless, regardless of who's idea it was to change the day of
worship from Saturday to Sunday is irrelevant. The point is that God
asked that we worship him on the Sabbath/Saturday and who are we to
change it? That is not our place! We will each be responsible for the
turth that we know and follow regardless of what man tells us to do we
are follow what God tells us to do. I encourage you to read and study
for yourself!
Shallow:
I didn't mean to say that Jesus didn't pay attention to the Sabbath like it was worthless. He did state that it is wrong to with hold from doing good works on the Sabbath for those in need. I guess the church took it a step further. As far as I know the day of worship was Sunday for Christians before well before the Catholic church came into existence. The Greek Orthodox church predates the Catholic church and they worshiped and worship on Sunday. I'm sure what the the whole Sabbath means personally. Many historians have argued what "day" actually means. The ancient Hebrew word would imply day as in era. Therefore God would have made the world in 7 eras, and on or in the 7th era he rested. Christian Scientists quickly adopted this theory and believe it to be true. Does this mean we are in the 7th era now and he is resting, or are we in the 6th, the day of man? I really don't have an answer. Maybe we are in the day of man and heaven is the Sabbath where we rest with God. Maybe we are in the Sabbath now and God is resting, which may explain the evil. Who knows? What I do know is that Jesus placed the virtues of his teachings far above the rituals and traditions. As long as your heart is in the right place you should have nothing to worry about. That's how I live and I hope it's good enough for the big guy himself. I can't choose a religion like Christianity and claim it to be definite the way the church claims it to be with out going against the faith itself. If I believe that this is the right and only way then I would be calling all the others wrong and inferior and that is wrong. Jesus never asked for a special day of prayer or for an organized church.
I've yet to read any quote of Jesus that fails to stand up today or ever come across as wrong. I've certainly read that in the Torah, and Jesus himself brought that up. Judaism and Islam seem to condone certain aspects of human error, such as violence or judgment. Jesus forgave human error but would never try and make it less wrong than they were. He just wanted you to repent and try not to do it again. I guess that's why I stayed with Christianity when I went on my spiritual journey a few years ago and didn't change religions. This doesn't mean I think I'm right for being Christian and others are wrong are wrong for not being Christian. It just means Christianity suited me so I stuck with it.
