'True' Christians? (Jesus Christ, Kingdom, salvation, Buddhism, homosexuals)

[Ronald]

The same as the Disciples, The early Church, who were obedient to Torah.
Paul was in the faith and taught it to Felix who had a knowlege of the Way.

Ac 24:22 And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that Way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter.

Ac 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

There was no NT at the time, all the scriptures were in the Temple and Synagogues, the Torah!
Here is an account of Philip teaching Yeshua from the book of Isaiah.
29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
Here Paul speaking of the Tanach, years before the NT.
2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

When the Greeks took the Scriptures and the Gospels and polished them and made them conform to their doctrines, you have a corkscrew, not much of it has no resemblance to the Tanach.

Nowhere will you find the Way telling someone they are going to hell. (except the grave) The Olam habah/world to come, the righteous of all nations will have a part in it.
That does not include the New Jerusalem, Even Paul in the Greek NT admonishes the saved to work for entrance to the City. YES! WORKS! NOT FOR SALVATION! But to enter by the gates, Grafted in! To Israel!!!!!!!!
