I've always considered myself Christian. I believe in God and that Jesus is the son of God and our savior. However, I don't believe in literal creationism, original sin, or the idea of Hell -- I think that life continues for the saved but not for the unsaved. I don't believe in the endtime prophecies per Revelation. I have prayed about these things and feel strongly in my heart that man has corrupted these ideas in order to instill fear and gain control over people.
It has been brought to my attention from several other Christians that I am a hypocrite, that not accepting all of these things means that I have not accepted all of Christ, so I must not be saved. I know that it doesn't matter what other people say, only my relationship with God ... but its very hard when you want to be involved and fellowship with others who do not understand you and see you as being fake.
Is there anyone who has experienced anything similar? Any advice at all?
