S
first of all, the term Christian refers to believers in Christ and has been used to determine those who follow Him
there were no Bibles when Christ walked the earth and why would He call Himself a follower of Himself?
Jesus knew the law. did you miss the passage where he was in the temple with the teachers of the law?
41 Every year Jesus’ parents went to Jerusalem for the Festival of the Passover. 42 When he was twelve years old, they went up to the festival, according to the custom. 43 After the festival was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it. 44 Thinking he was in their company, they traveled on for a day. Then they began looking for him among their relatives and friends. 45 When they did not find him, they went back to Jerusalem to look for him. 46 After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47 Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers. Luke 2
you can pick up 30 crosses and that will still not be the way to salvation. you do not get to decide how to follow Jesus. the Bible is clear on how to follow Him. you begin by admitting you are a sinner and believe that Jesus died for your sins. you accept him as the one who died in your place in order to satisfy the demands of God who is holy. those are the facts very briefly summed up and the way to follow Christ
you cannot follow Him your way or make up nonsense and say that you follow Him
the devil and his demons can quote scripture and will come as an angel of light to deceive people
you are not following Christ

Nice dodge. This is not what we was speaking of. I get to be a witness to sinners and that is not a bad thing. I could only imagine the opportunities Cornelius the centurion had after believing in Christ. Peter didn't tell him to find a different job.
This conversation is about the Bible, the inerrant, infallible Word of God. Jesus being of this Godhead.
John 1
New International Version
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
This includes the work of the Father and Spirit (Helper). All have contributed to the Bible. A perfectly constructed book preserved throughout centuries of bloodshed, book burnings, censorships, totalitarian regimes, etc. And has brought healing to billions of people.

John 8:4-9
New International Version
4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” 6 They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there.
Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
This eliminates you.
End of story.

Lol you do realize that was the hypocrisy Jesus was speaking of the teachers of the law. They could not perfectly hold the law even though that was what God required.
Jesus was showing their hypocrisy and need for the Messiah.
Ecclesiastes 7:20
New International Version
20 Indeed, there is no one on earth who is righteous,
no one who does what is right and never sins.

I only posted the scripture to combat the same ego the teachers of the law had.
2 Corinthians 5:21
New International Version
21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
I am a sinner. I am a forgiven sinner. We are only seen as perfect in Christ as our mediator as to why in love I seek to abide and obey His commands. Not in legalistic perfection but in a relationship of someone who hates greiving the Spirit with sin.
