You can come to God without Christianity, but not without Christ. The only way to the Father is through his Son, Jesus. Christianity is simply a label given to the religion (various religions really) that follow Christ. When Jesus came, he wasn't looking for Christians. He was there to lead the Jews to the Father through him. Jesus was a Jew.

Christianity is simply a religion that follows Christ. You could be Baptist, Catholic, Methodist, Lutheran, or many other things. It doesn't really matter what you call yourself as long as you have accepted Christ in your heart and tried to turn away from your old life. Also, remember that even attending a church is not necessary (though it is very much something I would recommend) because anytime 2 or more people come together in the name of Christ, He will be present. You can have your own church amongst close friends or strangers that share your faith.

The question doesnt really make sense, it assumes a christian philosophy and then on the basis of that philosophy, denies christiniaty. You are a free person and you can read any religious work and take from it what you want, but I think you are not a Christian unless you specifically believe that Jesus was the son of G-d and his death brings you redemption.

For reference, I would look up what are known as the noachide laws (somtimes spelled noahide) In judaism, these arelaws that are believed should be held universally by all people, Jews and non Jews alike, and accepting them does not make you Jewish but does make you what Judaism would consider a rightous person worthy of redemption.

1. Do not murder.
2. Do not steal.
3. Do not worship false gods.
4. Do not be sexually immoral.
5. Do not eat a limb removed from a live animal.
6. Do not curse God.
7. Set up courts and bring offenders to justice.

in accordance to Jeremiah 31:33, God in uncomplicated words writes His New Covenant on the hearts and minds of those who have self assurance; as a effect, he's our God and we are His human beings. every person who has no longer entered into the recent Covenant by skill of perception in Jesus Christ lacks the means to go back to God (see John 10:a million). we do not search for God, nor does God enable every person discover Him. instead, the Bible tells us: Psalm 14: 2 The LORD looks down from heaven upon the youngsters of guys, to work out if there are any who understand, who search for God. 3 they have all grew to grow to be aside, they have at the same time grow to be corrupt; there is none who does good, No, no longer one. Muslims may have self assurance inspite of they prefer to have self assurance about Jesus; they're merely no longer suited. eventually, the Bible files that the 2d best team of human beings to "convert" to Christianity might want to be the Muslims, after, for sure, the Jews. Jesus' be conscious does no longer condemn Him; i'm no longer constructive to what you're referring.

No, for the New Covenant is about a sacrifice made by Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. Therefore, without atonement, we cna't come to God, for God sent His Son in the personage of Jesus to be that very representation of responsibility for sin both for Himself and us. The SCripture says, "No man cometh to the Father BUT BY ME." If we can't embrace all the tenets of Christianity (since we're going to have to give an account anyway) then we can't truly come to God.

If you are talking about the new covenant explained in the New testament then no for it to even exist you have to have Christ He is the one who paid for it with His blood. The New Covenant is the avenue for salvation by faith through Christ. This is indeed the good news that Christ came to share, salvation by faith through Grace and all because of the New Covenant. There fro it is impossible to lay hold on the New Covenant wiht out believing in Christ

Christ is the new covenant! Accepting Christ as savior brings the holy spirit to your heart, without Christ you can not go to God. The only way to the Father is through the son.

Jesus is the only way to the father,but its a relationship with God, there are way too many religions in this world, when God already made a way for us, through his son.and besides God knows the heart.

You can come to Him anytime, but you must accept Him into your heart to live eternally with Him. Christianity is a part of God.

Yes, lead a good worth while life that meant something. I say if you can only save one person whether from death or even a life of crime hatred and such that is living a worth while life.

yes, Christianity didn't even begin until after Jesus died on the cross, years upon years later, and people were already coming to God, Jesus wasn't a Christian either.
