Albert Barnes in his commentary says:

"The principal stone on which the corner of the edifice rests. A stone is selected for this which is large and solid, and, usually, one which is squared, and worked with care; and as such a stone is commonly laid with solemn ceremonies, so, perhaps, in allusion to this, it is here said by God that he would lay this stone at the foundation. "

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:"
 
Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:"
Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures,? The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the Head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?"
(This Exact confrontation is also recorded in mark and Luke
 
Knowing Him is The Christ in men.Thus is the true saying of Christian.
Men steal from God and it upsets me or him in me.many things even the rainbow promise and we the people are forced to accept it.
So is it best not to use & they win .or Lobby To revoked stolen sayings exam.like I seen in the sports world using names like red skins warriors As fact theses names have been returned and not displayed as something else !
 
To men of the anointed I use Christian, to carnal or religious I Don't use Christian or Christ . I use Anointing or Anointed Lord etc cus that what it is. .
 
Simple question. Didn't want to confuse the Bible scholars
So let's hear man speak their gospel or
better yet let's Hear the Gospel of The Anointed keep To the Thread .
What makes a Christian a Christian?
By definition, a person that believes the gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-5).

The first two sentences in 1 Corinthians tell us what a Christian actually is.

1 Corinthians 15
Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand,
by which also you are saved
, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.

With the caveat that they must also receive the Holy Spirit also.

Romans 10:9-10
That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead,
you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses,
resulting in salvation.

The gospel is so simple that mankind cannot twist it out of shape.

Won't find education teaching of man.they teach what they tell you your are .there no twist in knowing who you are &Know Who You are Not
The twisted is the law of man A person is a corperation ..Jesus himself they wanted him to say Who they wanted him to Be
Even in trial for his flesh life Jesus did not reply in their amazement at the end Jesus Said You Say Who I Am

No, the exact phrase "king of the Jews" does not appear in the Old Testament.
I f recall correctly at Jesus Trial They wanted Jesus to Say King of The Jews that would be The Person, legal fiction

Jesus trial to know how he was not in their system As The legal Person
enjoy and see there is No need replys just read your self in Gospel if u see it say ty if not read again it truely unheard of amazement when you to know how the trial really way By men Laws both jew or Roman

highlighting one of the most powerful and strategic moves Jesus made during his trial. The rulers Desperately tried to Force Jesus to Act like a political or legal entity on Their Terms, but His Silence completely Broke their system.
By refusing to play their game, Jesus exposed the true motives of the two distinct entities trying him:

1. The Jewish Religious Entity The Sanhedrin
The Jewish leaders wanted Jesus to declare himself a Messianic Entity in a way they Could legally Define as a Crime.
  • Their trap: They wanted a legal Confession of Blasphemy so they could sentence him to Death under religious law.
  • The silent response: By remaining silent against their false witnesses (Matthew 26:62-63), Jesus refused to legitimize their Corrupt court. When he finally spoke and said, "Ye say that I am," He Forced them to make the Declaration Themselves.

2. The Roman Political Entity (Pontius Pilate)
Pilate looked at Jesus strictly through the lens of Roman law and state power. He wanted Jesus to act like a standard political Rebel or a legal defendant fyighting for His life.
  • Their trap: Roman law required an Accused PERSON to defend themselves against charges of treason. If Jesus spoke out to defend his "kingdom," Pilate could Easily JUDGE HIM as a THREAT to Caesar.
  • The silent response: Jesus’ refusal to answer the public accusations utterly baffled Pilate (Matthew 27:14). By staying silent, Jesus showed that he did not recognize Rome's ultimate authority over HIS life or his MISSION. He was not a political entity competing with Caesar; he was a spiritual one.

The Ultimate Irony
The rulers wanted Jesus to step into the identity of an earthly criminal or king, but his silence proved he was OPERATING on a completely different level. He ALLOWED them to project whatever labels they wanted onto him—ultimately letting them carry out the crucifixion, which Christian theology teaches was his plan all along.
 
Btw no man showed or told me this but my own study for coming out of The Her helped me to see rt in the script plain as day now knowing who I Am Not
 
One who Knows Jesus As God .
If that's what a Christian is, for one but not Another. Then who is Christian? Sealed or religion using God or His own For I'm rt your rt debates etc
 
One can make the argument from the passage that reads, "And the disciples were called Christians first at Antioch" that Christian is a term for disciples of Christ, or followers of Christ. There are many Christians who do not follow Christ and are not disciples. The main goal of one after salvation is to receive discipleship and to become a follower of Christ, but that is not always the case.
No doubt they called Christian just a thought Do the believers Call themSelf Christians? . Thing is that was Greek and Roman term . They were probably called other names also . The term is fine ,Whats not Fine is Christian that claim Christ Anointing Don't even know Him or The holy Spirit rituals dont do much for me. Most often The Anointed is left side lined !

No, none of the disciples of Jesus call themselves a Christian in the King James Version (KJV). In fact, the word "Christian" or "Christians" appears only three times in the entire bible
Maybe that's Why I'm tight on saying Christian ,most I know are Not Anointed & sealed
 
Another thought, I wonder if should know this.
That mens law statutes and acts list Christian as an entity to tax su & keep under government thumbs? Only legal documents that I have is Law of the Lord written in my heart Lawfully
I guess to sum up this thread man made Christian and uses a few godword to keep .everyone in their domains
