So, did Jesus Lie?

The oldest Christian church claims to be the one true church. They say that they have always been the one and only church established by Jesus Christ. According to them, no one can else can claim to be the true church since they have stayed true to the teachings handed to them by Christ himself.

They also lay claim to the fact that Jesus would never abandon the church he himself built. They cite the passage below.

That would have been all okay, we never would have to have any doubts about the claims of the oldest Christian religious establishment.

However, there is something that needs to be examined. Jesus mentioned the 'other sheep.' and with this other sheep, they will become one flock with one shepherd.

So now, the catholic church has a big problem. They claim to be the oldest and original christian church, so where will this other flock under one shepherd fit in? And since they have always maintained to be the original, meaning from the fold of which these other sheep do not belong, then they have implicitly denied any possibility of the other flock to come into the picture, or existence if i may add. Is this church able to overturn the words of Jesus who they claim as their god? Did Jesus lie about what he said in John 10:16?

And what is a flock anyway?

The flock refers to the Church. According to Christ, the 'other sheep' WILL become one Church with one Shepherd in John 10:16.

But why the need for another flock?

Wolves?

Everyone was sleeping?

What does it mean when everyone is sleeping the enemy or false prophet disguised as a lamb will come and will not spare the flock?

Ah yes. After the crucifixion, the prince of this world will come and destroy the temple, the Church of Christ. 

But they will argue 'what about the promise of Christ to never leave the church?' But has the catholic church stayed true and not altered the teachings of Jesus?

You examine that for yourself. If the teachings have indeed changed, then someone has gotten in and allowed it to happen, the biblical prophecies have then come to pass as surely they would.

So where is the other sheep?

They are now here, and the door is open for anyone no matter the ethnic, social, religious background, All are welcome to come in.

Why did Yehoshua/Jesus have to die?

Why did Jesus/Yehoshua die when in fact he didn't sin at all? For many, Jesus being their god, it would have been easier if he'd done away with the crucifixion, and just pardoned the whole world's sin and save us all, wouldn't it? But the simple answer is that Jesus is not Truly God, he had to submit to the Will of his Father, this is the True God.

Jhn 17:1

These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; ...

Jhn 17:3

And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.[KJV]

Anyways, going back to the question why it was necessary for Yehoshua/Jesus to die for sins he did not commit. 
What was the reason why He had to die?

Eze 18:20

The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.[KJV]

Num 14:18  'The LORD is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation.[NIV]




It is clear what YHWH said. 'The soul that sin, it shall die'. He will not leave the guilty, unpunished. So how is Jesus supposed to pay for the sins he did not commit?

Eph 5:31

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

Eph 5:32

This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.[KJV]

Jesus is the head of his body, the Church. One head, one body - one Flesh/Man.

Eph 5:23

For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.[KJV]

It did not say there 'he[Jesus] is the saviour of the World, but the body, which is the Church'. Is it ever possible for a man/woman to be born and live without a body or a head? Now going back to Punishment, Jesus was united to his body, the Church, which is a sinner, thus he had to be Punished for his body's sin. But all along Jesus' life on earth, he obeyed his Father, thus fulfilling the scriptures.

Eze 18:21

"But if a wicked man turns away from all the sins he has committed and keeps all my decrees and does what is just and right, he will surely live; he will not die.

What? Jesus a wicked man? Hang on a minute. That doesn't sound right! Ofcourse not, Jesus himself didn't sin at all, but his body did, thus by uniting with sinners, he was made sin.

2Cr 5:21

For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.[NKJV]

Was it Jesus' will to come and be united to his body, the church?

Jhn 6:38

For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me[KJV]

Isa 53:10

Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put [him] to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see [his] seed, he shall prolong [his] days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. [KJV]

This was done so that the Law spoken by God in Numbers 14:18 is fulfilled. Thus, the Guilty is punished. But by Jesus, who was made sin, obeying his Father[God] - he had fulfilled what's written in Ezekiel 18:21.
Again for purpose of emphasis, it is by his union with the Guilty, his Church, being the head of it, he was made responsible for the body and he had to pay for its sins.

Psa 69:4

Those who hate me without a cause Are more than the hairs of my head; They are mighty who would destroy me, Being my enemies wrongfully; Though I have stolen nothing, I still must restore it.[NKJV]

Now that the sin of his body is paid in full, what then is Jesus' invitation to all people -whoever and whatever race, nationality, sex they may be?

Jhn 10:7

Then Jesus said to them again, "Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep

Jhn 10:9

"I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.[NKJV]

Yes we have to Enter the Door and be counted among his Sheep. Thus, the Church of Christ [Iglesia ni Cristo], through the Door which is Jesus, is open to all people whoever they may be.
