[/qb][/QUOTE]No. Jesus was against temple religion. All african religions are based on monotheism. all africans are taught that there is One god, like Catholicism Africans believe there are intermediaries who are closer to GOD, who can get their prayers to GOD rapidly. In many ways it is similar to the Christian method of group church prayers, which are ended with the phrase "grant my prayer/request in Jesus's name". [/QUOTE]This is not accurate. In African religions there is often a main creator God and there are also good, bad and nature dieties. They have independant powers and are not simply relayers of messages to God. It's not montheism and saints The Abrahamic religions from before the time of Christ forbid that. [/qb][/QUOTE]Granted, the African deities had powers but the main god was supreme. This is the same as Catholic Saints who are suppose to have powers to perform miracles that's why they are considered Saints. Are you saying that Christ followed the religion practiced by the Hebrews of his Day? The Bible says otherwise. [/qb][/QUOTE]"Therefore, the man who infringes even the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be considered the least in the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 5:17-19). _______________________________ In John 4:21-26 Jesus identifies himself as a Jew: John 4:21-26 King James Version (KJV) 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. 25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. 26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. _________________________ The word "Messiah" had a different meaning than it has today. Contemporary believers usually think of the Messiah as a wholly spiritual figure. Then, it meant a military leader who would free the Jews from foreign (i.e., Roman) rule, bring them back from the four corners of the earth, and usher in an age of universal peace. A century after Jesus, many Jews accepted the military general, Bar-Kokhba as the Messiah, although even his greatest supporter, Rabbi Akiva, made no claims regarding his spiritual greatness. Indeed, it was precisely because of the military association with the word "Messiah" that the occupying Roman authorities must have seen Jesus as dangerous and decided to crucify him. That the Romans hung over Jesus' body a sign proclaiming his crime, KING OF THE JEWS, again underscores the apparently militant and political direction of his activities. [/QB][/QUOTE]
