John Lennon Singer Christianity will end it will disappear I do n?
"Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue about that; I'm right, and I will be proved right. We are more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first -- rock'n'roll or Christianity. Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me."
Who said I am more popular than Jesus Christ?
You are referring to John Lennon's reply to the beginnings of Beatlemania, when he said: 'Christianity will go, 'It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue about that; I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first-rock 'n' roll or Christianity. Jesus was all right but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me.'
What was John Lennon's statement about Jesus exactly?
This is from the London Evening Standard article that was taken out of context later in the American press."Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue with that; I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first - rock 'n' roll or Christianity. Jesus was all right but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me."Note to WikiAnswers editors: I feel I am free to reprint this information here in the interest of historical accuracy, since even John didn't get it right when he was asked to apologize (He said 'the Beatles' when in fact he didn't in the original statement). Besides, the quoted text in a news article cannot be copyrighted.
Which two disciple had their mother ask Jesus for the right to the throne of the kingdom?

What was the first Easter like?

How did jesus pick his 12 disciples?
Jesus chose the average everyday believer right in their own world or lifestyle. Many of the disciples were fisherman. He did not pick the elite or the rabinnical educated or the Pharisees who thought they knew everything when they knew nothing of God in reality. He chose the everyday man so they could learn the simple lessons of the Kingdom of God and spread those simple teachings to the rest of mankind. The Average Joe or Jane will listen to his neighbor, co-worker, storkeeper or postman long before they will listen to a pompous person who doesn't even know what it is like to be ordinary. Ordinary is best. Jesus blessed the kids, told them the story of faith and eternal life and those kids tell the story so simply without fear. Think how simply Billy Graham spoke to everyone....."The Bible says....". He used everyman stories of everyday things so we could grasp the simple love of God. That is why Jesus chose the fisherman, the women who loved to listen to Jesus, and the children that knew love when they saw it.
What do you call the day the Holy Spirit came?
After Jesus was crucified god sent the holy spirit to be with the disciples always in his place.Roman Catholic Answer:The day is called Pentecost.

Does china believe in Jesus?
The Bible does not say whether Jesus Christ went to China or any other oriental countries. But the Bible does say that Jesus Christ told his disciples to go throughout all the world, so there is a possibility the disciples went to China, yet it was never recorded in the Bible. Footnote: If Jesus did go to China, there would probably be more Christians in China than there are right now.
What represents 153 - Bible?

Why did jesus go with his disciples on the mountain top?
It was there where they could talk "privately" without the crowds of people around. In private, Jesus spoke without parables and revealed the future to His disciples in clear plain language. It was on the Mount of Olives where they inquired about the end times (which they thought were right then) and when He would reveal Himself as King? And it was there... in private... where Jesus is recorded to have listed the straight forward end time signs in Matthew 24. "...as He sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto Him PRIVATELY, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be?" (Matt.24:3)
Why did Jesus breathe on his apostles?

When did John Lennon say the Beatles were more popular then Jesus Christ?
John Lennon gave an interview that was published in the London Evening Standard on March 4, 1966. The statement was:"Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue with that; I'm right and I will be proved right. We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first - rock 'n' roll or Christianity. Jesus was all right but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me."On July 29, 1966, an American teen magazine, Datebook, quoted John out of context. Since this was shortly before the Beatles' 1966 US tour, the controversy grew quickly.Even after John "apologized" in a press conference in Chicago - which was the first stop on the tour - the press tried to fan the flames. The first question after John made his statement was "Do you believe the press is trying to 'crucify' you?" John was NOT happy about that question. His reply: "NO! I WOULDN'T say that!" Look for the clip and see the disdain on John's face.
