what are utilitarian christians?

Question

sorry yeah i meant unitarian christian

Answer 1

There are some Christian denominations that reject the Trinity; they think of Jesus as the son of God, not God, and ignore the Holy Ghost. That leaves just God. I think the Jehovah's Witnesses consider themselves "unitarian" with a small "u".

There are some members of the Unitarian Universalists who consider themselves Christian. They are capital "U" Unitarians.

The two groups are very different in other ways. If you are interested in the second group, Google
[Unitarian Universalist Christian]

Answer 2

Utilitarian? That means they are useful.

I think you mean Unitarian. Unitarian Christians are those who actually love Jesus Christ.

Answer 3

I think that Unitarian Christians believe in Jesus as a profit ,, not as a god or son of god

they call them selves Unitarian cz they don't accept the trinity rule of (father & son & holy spirit),,, they believe that there is one God and Jesus is his profit,,

thats all

"witnessing to the transforming power of the Holy Spirit in our lives"
The UUCF was founded in 1945 in Boston to continue promoting the presence of our historic Christian tradition, to expressing the diverse spirit of contemporary Free Christianity, to providing a home for all those who "follow freely in the spirit of Jesus" regardless of what they call themselves, and to be an ecumenical and inter-religious witness to the power of free religion within the Church Universal. We are now a global organization, serving all regardless of belief, by providing free and progressive and inclusive Christian resources for worship, prayer, bible study, religious education, and theological reflection. We help create and nurture small groups meeting within churches or areas. We publish a scholarly journal, the UU Christian, now in its 60th year, as well as a lively bi-monthly publication, the "Good News" periodical. We are a major presence at General Assemblies, and we host annual Revivals. Executive Director, Rev. Ron Robinson.

The Magi Network encourages and enables the founding of new Unitarian Universalist Christian congregations throughout the United States. Our goal is to provide congregational homes for those within our movement who are often marginalized in other UU congregations because of their beliefs. Activities include raising funds to start and support new UU Christian congregations, holding events at General Assembly to promote UU Christianity, and developing a strategy of UU Christian expansion through new congregations.

PS - Considering us a cult is like calling a fish a bicycle. If we could be called anything, it would be the "anti-cult." Check our denominational web site and you'll see what I mean.

Answer 5

These are the statistics. I just saw the graph on BBN. RIGHT!

1) 10% of religious people love God because they are
NATURALLY loving people.
2) 70% of religious people love God just enough to COVER THIER BUTTS, just in case there's a God.
3) The other 20% love God just enough to make THEMSELVES
look good.

PUT THAT ON YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT! Nothing personal.
