I believe that God & Jesus Christ exist,but I don't believe in the religious teachings of Christians.?

Question

I don't understand what religion I'm classified as, I thought maybe Agnostic, but the more I read on Agnostisism, the more confused I get. Please help me, this is genuine. Thank you.

Ok, I should have been more clear, I used to go to church, in fact, I was a Youth & Sunday School teacher.
I'm not doubting in the existance of God, I just think that the church is full of hypocrites, who don't really know what they're on about.I should know, I was one of them.

Answer 1

You're Gnostic. not agnostic, just Gnostic. God is a joker, that kind of thing....

Answer 2

If you believe in Jesus, u are a christian. Christianity, I don;t think, is a religion but a way of life. Don't let people teach u how to live, read ur bible and get personal with God. He's all u need and he'll help u with a good church(which is not the building but people of God)

Answer 3

The sooner you figure out that the teaching of the church leader are simply fables repeated from thousands of years ago, which have no bearing on an educated population, the closer you will come to realizing that the god and jesus thing are also fabrications. Once you discard all of it, the sooner you will have the capacity to think for yourself and not waste your life worrying about what religion you are classified as. You do not need a religion, you need mental freedom, religion destroys freedom of the human being.

The trinity is contested and those who're adversarial to the trinity doctrine do have some properly argued factors and it solves an rather good type of contradiction. The trinity is alleged to be a 4th century progression and also the actual undeniable actuality that the historic Hebrews who were the rustic of God did no longer have trinity teachings. yet an rather good type of info of the trinity more desirable in the course of the Roman Catholic which grew to grow to be the State faith that amalamated pagan worship into it is personal practices. no longer having the historic Hebrew help to their teachings that could of blanketed straightforward men like Moses and David who believed in a unmarried individual God the daddy.

Answer 5

Welcome to the real world. I'll not try to classify you beyond that. God and Christ are real, it's the church that's an illusion. There are churches out there, that are alive, and thriving. But they are not empires, or virtual worlds on TV or the net. Despite all of the advances of science, Christianity is spread like a handshake, face to face, in person. And the connection between Christians, is just as simple and direct. You are a child of God, study what others say, and then think for yourself. I think you can do that...

Answer 6

You mind is not yet defiled by the false teachings of Christianity. May God bless you!

Jesus Christ is to be understood through the 4 Gospels and followed.

As Christians what we see around the world is paganism in the name of Christianity.

By the way, Christianity is not a religion, but it is a way of life. Living through the path Christ lived. People of any religion can follow this path.

None can Understand your confusion better than me... I have passed from all this before and shall I tell you one - there is only on being who is going to get you out of this chaos and that is The God on whom you believe at least.

I was a born Muslim but during my teens I was a sort of Atheist, As the time went on, one fact beome evident on me and that is God really existed. I researched once again very hard and I landed up once again on Islam..

Believe me, you owe it to yourself - I promise you, once you read Qur'an - all the confusion will be gone like water vapours. when I abondoned Islam long time back, I was not knowing anything about it because I had never read Qur'an. Once I read it later on, I realised that If there is any book ever send by God 'This is Qur'an'.

I would be relishing your comments, if you need more information contact me at [e-mail]

Answer 8

The church is full of not hypocrites, but sinners who want to learn more about God. Some are more serious about it than others. Agnoticism is a confusing topic. They say that they don't know the things that you as a Sunday School teacher knew/ know.

Answer 9

Agnostics believe that there may or may not be a God. You believe in God and Jesus--that alone makes you Christian, but Christanity is not a religion. There are many different Christian religions.

Keep praying and read the Bible--seek and you shall find.
God Bless.

Answer 10

right there with you babe. you don't need a religion to be classified in. you can just say you are a spiritual person. If they want more, tell them you believe in God and Christ. I personally believe in them both but not in the same way most people do (that believe in them) I believe that Christ was a great man that was on this earth trying to make it better, and God is God. but all the other things that I believe in also do not fit with the norm. good luck on your spiritual quest. There should be more people that are not considered in organized religion, but that are just spiritual people. thank you.

blessed be.

Answer 11

There is only one Supreme Power. you may call IT - God, Jesus, or any other name. That 'God' is --- Always, Pure, Knowledge and Free. This is one aspect.

1. Any isms one goes into one tries to say things related to time about HIM which is timeless. HE was ALWAYS there. 2. Any thing that is rolled into words has to have meanings more than one and may not and will not be exacting of what was being the idea behind it so as to make it impure. 3. Any one claiming to know HIM may not even know HIM as much as the tip of the iceberg. for HE alone is the all KNOWLEDGE by HIMSELF. 4. Even as we say GOD we have attempted to restrict HIM in 3 alphabets but in fact HE is free from all bondages --- even of words.

Do not go into analysis of the isms and classifications. If you have a beautiful flower in front of you -- enjoy the beauty and fragrance rather than classifying... Try it you will get it.
