To be Christian is to believe in the resurrection. If you believe that Jesus died for your sins and was resurrected on the 3rd day then you are
Christian.
Only according to Paul. Jesus is the example I am to follow. I'm sorry, but he is not a superficial sacrifice like people sacrificed animals
before him. That is a lie. That sacrifice is for the world of Satan, by sacrificing the truth the lie can live, and it does live until the
return.
When the rich man comes to Jesus, does Jesus tell him to just believe he will be resurrected and to fear not because he was going to die for him? No,
he tells that man to go sell his riches and walk the path, for it is easier to get a camel though the head of a needle than a rich man into heaven.
And yet, according to the church this same rich man has no troubles getting into heaven.
The christian church is the church of Satan. Jesus talked of the narrow path, for wide is the path of destruction. And the catholic church has a
long history of being on a path of destruction. A wide path where even the rich man gets into heaven. Where Jesus healed people with understanding
and enlightment, the church killed anyone who went against them.
The only true church is the church you build inside which is built from knowledge, understanding and experiences(that which makes up wisdom). The
physical church is a cheap imitation.
In the time of Jesus, they did not have the word christian. If you followed Jesus you were a Jew. As such when he referrs to a church, he is talking
about knowledge and understanding, and what is considered the physical church is a synagogue.
He will tell the christian church he knows them not, as per Matthew 7.
21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in
heaven.
22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many
wonderful works?
23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Revelations 3:9
Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them
to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
