Here's the thing,

In today's society, Christians are equated to being 'good' and nice people, therefore - anyone who is a good person is a Christian.

I call myself a "Follower of Christ."
I do this for the reason that anyone can be a "Christian" by world views, but it takes more than that to be a follower of Christ.

What do you call yourself?

Maybe the good Christians are not real Christians.

1) Capital Punishment Crimes:
Kill People Who Don't Listen to Priests
Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel. (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)
Kill Witches
You should not let a sorceress live. (Exodus 22:17 NAB)
Kill Homosexuals
"If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." (Leviticus 20:13 NAB)
Kill Fortunetellers
A man or a woman who acts as a medium or fortuneteller shall be put to death by stoning; they have no one but themselves to blame for their death. (Leviticus 20:27 NAB)
Death for Hitting Dad
Whoever strikes his father or mother shall be put to death. (Exodus 21:15 NAB)

NOTE: IF YOU SAY THE OLD TESTAMENT SHOULD BE DISREGARDED, THE WHOLE BIBLE HAS TO BE DISREGARDED

Why do some Christians act as if you are not a Republican, you are not a Christian? I am a Democrat who gets Christians annoyed at me for being a Democrat.

Jesus did not grow up in a Republican or Democratic society, so why do Christians act this way?

Do you notice this pattern, its only the whites who are heterosexual and christian and only their version of christianity that get into heaven, only the humans, not the monkeys or the cats, they say the jews don't get into heaven, one of them made the comment to me the other day I had eyes that were turning brown as i went to hell, hitler only wanted to blue eyed,

some world religions acknowledge the animals, look at budhism, not a "religion" but they somehow manage to acknowledge the soul of an animal, look at the word animas in fact

Theres a certain smugness to the european heterosexual christian in america, a specific smugness that irks me, it vexes me greatly,

does it vex you

I constantly hear people say that children are a gift from God. If all children are a gift, why do some people look down on children that were born out of wedlock? Aren't those children God's gift as well? Isn't God the one that chooses who to bless with a child?

In other words, do you believe in the Holy Trinity (one eternal God in three divine persons, but still only one God) and that Jesus is fully human and fully God at the same time?

This is what Christians have always believed from the beginning of Christianity. The Catholic tradition is the oldest Christian tradition and has always taught this. And the second to the oldest Christian tradition, Eastern Orthodox, has always taught this as well.

1) Do you believe this too?

2) Are you a Protestant (Christian who is not Catholic or Eastern Orthodox)

3) What kind of Protestant are you?

Just curious, thanks in advance. May God bless you.

I married a Mexican in '83. I miss my heritage, and religion still. Molokans bought property around the corner from me. I want to be accepted back! Do you think the time has finally come where Molokans can accept that times have changed, and thier members may not always marry other Russians? I have never been comfortable with other religions. I still say I am Molokan, even though my religion has ostresized me.

I'm looking for some good resources to use to study the history of calvinism/the reformation. (Not the actual theology...I'll get to that later). Do you know of any good website, articles, or books on this subject? Unbiased info would be the best, but anything will help.

Though I'm out of the stage of compartmentalizing my "sacred" and "secular" life, I have this question...

When Christian musicians cover a secular song, does it become a Christian song then?

Alrighty then, I am a 17 year old male. Born to the parents of Laura and Elijah.

Now then, picture this hypothetical situation if you'd be so kind. A mother demands her son to mowe(SP) the lawn on a crisp Sunday. Yet the commandment states that one shall honor the Sabbath and keep it Holy..at the same time if the boy refuses this demand, he will be breaking the other commandment, "Honor thy parents..."

The mother is not a Christian nor will she change her ways. Will the son lose either way regardless of his decision?
