Someone within the membership of the huge religion gets convicted that Christianity is not producing anywhere near what Jesus the Christ did. And like so many other human beings, instead of working on changing themselves first to conform to the new truth they were convicted on...they start trying to change others or at least convict others to abide by THEIR new truth. This is made much easier by giving the new truth a title, usually a title loftier than what they are wanting to divide from. Today it has been given the title "Christ Follower". Knowing that Christianity has and is, failing big time, this is their attempt at changing it. A very futile attempt I might add. Just as Christianity, instead of following the teaching of Christ, instead, follows MAN'S CONCEPT of the teachings of the Christ. And likewise, as all the other new truth break aways from Christianity, is following MAN CONCEPT. This has never worked and it never will. As Jesus said, "God is spirit and you must worship him in spirit and tin ruth". And as he told the woman at the well, "There is coming a time and now is when you will no longer worhip God in the mountains nor in Jeruselem (the temple) but you will worship Him in spirit and truth." I need to make a formal announcement to all you sweet and well intended Christians and Christ Followers, (the names being the only difference between the two) "Now hear this, Jesus has left the building! As a matter of fact, He left it over 2000 years ago." If one is truly following what Christ did on earth and his teachings, I would have to ask them a few questions to confirm this proclamation of their following the Anointed one. have you forsaken EVEYTHING for him? Do you love Him more than every single member of your family, including your children? Are you absolutly positive that you can turn your other cheek after you are punched in the face, in the HEART? Are you totally unconcerned as to who becomes president of the U.S. because you know that GOD is in control of all ("Give unto Ceasar what is Ceasars and give unto GOD what is Gods")? Are you free of lust, greed, selfishness, envy, coveting, etc.? Have you completely stopped judgment of your neighbor and realized that you can never throw the first stone...at anyone? Do you carry your cross like He told us to or do you just wear one (symbolism over substance)? Have you discovered that you have to become a church instead of going to one? Have you been convicted that His ways REALLY are NOT our ways and that His ways truly are higher than our ways? If you can not answer "yes" to these questions, you are not even close to where a follower of the teachings of Jesus the Christ is to be, which is, "In the world but not of the world. And you are plainly following man's concept of HIS teachings and not those of The Christ. If there were truly as many anointed ones (Christians) as their membership numbers suggest...the whole universe would feel it! Look what Jesus and even other enlightened individuals accomplished all by themselves. Follower of Chist is just another division. Paul told the church at Corinth he had to feed them milk and not meat (deep things of GOD) because of DIVISION. Paul only mentioned four divisions, Paul, Cephus, Apollos, and Christ. I believe I read somewhere that there are 960 divisions of Christianity in the U.S.! If you can't get the deep things with only four divisions............ The advent of DNA has proven how uniquely individual we are, one from the other. The bible points this out even better, He knows the number of hairs on your head Not a forensic scientist in the world can tell you that. Our relationship with the Father has to be conducted on an individual and personal basis just like Jesus tried to show us. A relationship just like the one He had/has with the Father. Paul told us that for three years he was not around chief apostle or deciple, he got it all from the Lord! On an individual and personal basis! Guess what? Paul put his pants on just like the rest of us! We all were preordained and predestined....there's proof of that DNA thing again. Please, everyone guit trying to redefine Christianity, realize it is MAN'S church, was never intended to replace our personal one on one relationship with the Father...as it so has. You are the church as an individual first, not as a group first...this is how one is to learn real faith. It truly is a VERY narrow and difficult gate to enter to follow the anointed one and become likewise. To truly follow we must press toward the mark...the mind of Christ. The ones that make it through the gate are the "some" He spoke of when He said, "Some of you standing here will see the Kingdom of God BEFORE you taste of death." That "some" would be the ones that were able to die to self enough to become spiritual enough to recieve the mind of Christ (anointed one) and enter the Kingdom of God before dying. The Kingdom of God is awaiting each one of us on the inside of each one of us...just as Jesus told us. May God, It truly is a narrow gate to enter when we have the faith to seperate ourselves from the crowd, Christianity, etc., and step out of the box and develop one's very personal relationship with the Father! May The Infinite Father of Life bless and keep you all.

However, many 'Christians' are not Christ followers. We all no this topic well. So, I am not one to run to a site that is labeled with Christ, God or whatever. But i will associate with Christians and Christ followers. With all of this said, i found a Christian video site that is super fast and only labels itself as being clean. I have found the vids that to be very good. have a look u guys: <a href="http://www.videopile.com/" rel="nofollow">VideoPile.com</a> I think that there should be no difference between a Christian and a Christ follower.
