Are the Jesuits followers of Jesuism/Jesusism (Original Christianity by Jesus?)? Or is it just a linguistic coincidence?
Jesuits are a group that started in the Catholic Church. They are Catholics. So, technically becoming a Jesuit would start with becoming a Catholic.
Thank you! I am new to Christianity. Having converted from Buddhism to Catholicism and Seventh-day Adventist Church but not officially but want to get baptized.
So, it seems you are saying you have been with Seventh-day Adventists.
I want to follow the Original Pure Perfect Teachings of Jesus and am wondering if Jesusism is these teachings and if that is the case whether I would thus be a Jesuit.? Thank you!
I do not personally know any Catholic Jesuits; so I do not know if or how they follow Jesus. Each one is unique; so I do not make a general assumption about what is true about Catholic Jesuits.
But I do know some things about Jesus > Jesus came from Heaven itself, and was born of Mary while she was a virgin, then He grew up in His family, and then He ministered and died for our sins and rose again on the third day. All this is our example, for us to follow. How would this be? By loving the way Jesus has loved.
Jesus left Heaven itself, in order to reach us and save us and share God's own good of His own love with each of us. So, this shows how humble Jesus is > Jesus had all He had in Heaven and Jesus is superior to all of us, but Jesus cares about us, is not at all conceited about being so more and better than we are, but desires to share God's own good with us.
So, this is part of our example to follow . . . how Jesus loves and cares about and has hope for any person, at all. We too need to become all-loving . . . so humble that we do not look down on anyone and despise anyone, but we care about and have hope for any evil person, at all, and pray with hope for all that is possible with God to do with any person.
Jesus suffered and died like He did, with hope for any and all of us > He is God's own Son; yet, He is so unconceited that He went through all that in order to save us and get us adopted as God's own children! And this is our example of how to love any and all people, also >
"And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma." (Ephesians 5:5)
So, Jesus on the cross was "a sweet-smelling aroma" . . . so pleasing to our Father, right while He was suffering and was hated so much. Still, even during all that He was sweet about it, desiring to be pleasing to our Father. So, this is how Jesus in us will have us also being sweetly pleasing to our Father while loving any and all people.
I think you can see that the Bible says this. But words alone can not make you able to understand and do this. We need to first trust in Jesus for salvation, then submit to Him and how He deeply corrects our character so we can be sweetly all-loving like Jesus was on the cross.
So, if you want to do what God's word says, trust in Jesus to change you so you can do what Jesus knows His word means. He is the One who knows what to do with us, better than whatsoever we can get ourselves to do!
