Why I Hate Religion But Love Jesus || Spoken Word




A lot of people in the world have so many misconceptions about who Jesus is. To some, He is a prophet. To others, He is just a religious leader. But the question really is, Who is Jesus? Truth be told, Jesus is the Son of God. He the Christ, Saviour of the world.


Some say Christianity is a religion. The world has about 4,200 religions.- Wikipedia. But there is a BUT” to Christianity. You see, Christianity is not a religion. It is a way of life. It’s about a person whose name is Jesus Christ. Before the word ‘Christianity’ become an existence, the Apostles of the New Testament Bible whose accounts we read about to knowing more about God, were led and used by the Holy Spirit of God with signs and wonders accompanying following their ministries, from the raising of the dead, healing the sick, casting out demons and to the restoring of sight to the blind as they passed through city after city preaching the good news about Jesus to the inhabitants. It was for these wondrous signs and the fact that they were known to be unlearned people, that the inhabitants realized these Apostles had been with Jesus. For they spoke like Him and did what He did whilst in their midst in His earthly vessel as a human being.


It was in Antioch that the word, ‘Christianity’ was first mentioned.


Acts 11:26


“And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.”

Orthodox Rabbis: Christianity a "Divine" Gift to the World

A group of Orthodox rabbis have issued a public statement calling Christianity a gift to the world.


“We acknowledge that Christianity is neither an accident nor an error, but the willed divine outcome and gift to the nations,” read the statement published by the Center for Jewish-Christian Understanding and Cooperation in Israel.


This comes after nearly two millennia of mutual hostility and alienation between Jews and Christians.


The statement, titled “To Do the Will of Our Father in Heaven: Toward a Partnership between Jews and Christians,” has been signed by more than two dozen Orthodox rabbis so far, including those from the U.S. and the chief rabbis of two European countries.


It calls for cooperation between Jews and Christians to address the moral and religious challenges of our times.


“We seek to do the will of our Father in Heaven by accepting the hand offered to us by our Christian brothers and sisters. Jews and Christians must work together as partners to address the moral challenges of our era,” the statement read.


While the group wants Jews and Christians to work together, it acknowledged the differences between the faiths.


“Our partnership in no way minimizes the ongoing differences between the two communities and two religions,” the rabbis said. “We believe that God employs many messengers to reveal His truth, while we affirm the fundamental ethical obligations that all people have before God that Judaism has always taught through the universal Noahide covenant.”
