You are not a Christian, you say, does that mean you do not believe and obey Jesus?
Just wondering what your point is in posting a video of Kenneth Copeland?
I going to say this and not being mean.
Some people do not understand the meaning of words. Especially biblical words or biblical terms. To be biblically proper.
I believe and have always been taught as long as I can remember, that words have direct definitions. boy means Boy, girl means girl, Faith means a variable of definition depends on context. Believe means believe [believe something]. Christian means “Christlike” Christlike means a person that acts just like The Christ of GOD which means “The Anointed of GOD” The human Jesus. this Jesus we are referring to is “Jesus The Anointed of GOD” [The Christ of GOD”.]
Note: during “The Life of Christ”. Meaning “The Life of The Anointed One”
A lot of men were Name “Jesus” [Joshua].!
So, a person who is a believer in The Anointed One Of GOD is not The Same word or Term “Christian” as once coined.
Two completely different words or term, they are not the same! No matter how people will try to say they are, they are not!
[christian and Believer in The Christ].
As the people of GOD, the World bends and shape us into Their mode of Thinking. To create The Curve of The Quill.
Simple, words have their individual meaning. And we must try our best. To stay within “Biblical Truth” even within Languages “Translations” that we the people of GOD to Stay as One people and One Universal Language as Hard As Possible.
Someone must stand as a somewhat “ Beacon”
And I guess I am one of those “Beacons” that will not falter.
Words means everything, different words different meanings. Different combination of words, different combinations of meanings.
Unless
A word has The same Definition as another
word.
Terms are Terms, a word is a word.
I am sorry for being long. I was taught this from grammar school, clear into College level English classes. My wife Expert concerning The English Language and Grammar, me and my daughter makes her life a living hell concerning our Grammar. Corrects us all the time.
I hope I cleared up somethings.
The word Christian from 1977, meant “Christlike” and “ around “AD 60”, in “Antioch” which is not a English town with English definition's”. Nor was there any Greek Lexicons” or Transliterated words.
Now you have a view Of The Painting on my side of My Room.
Same painting but different view.
I have a long way to Go before I become a “Image” of “The Christ of GOD”! And God is not ashamed of My Stance.
But I am His Child. A Adopted Child “Born into His Family with A Full Inheritance, “Indicative”.
And one day, I will be Just like HIM! I am going to see Him “The Christ of GOD” as He is!
I will be “ChristLike”! Without a Doubt! GOD cannot Lie!
