The Holy Bible is a book for all man, Christians are also not the only ones that can understand it. But the term Christian means to be "Christ like" and after reading the bible and believing in God's Word such as yourself, would you not conclude that you too are a "Christian"?

Unfortunately, the Christian church throughout history has been too much about religion and rules, and not enough about relationship with God. (There IS a difference!) And within Christianity, there is a lot of hypocrisy and false teaching. The church has also judged and labeled people, when God never directed the church to do so. This is because Christians, like all people, are imperfect and sinful. But these things, no matter how true, do not negate certain truths. Human beings sin, and sin separates us from God. God is Holy, and will not tolerate sin. But He is also merciful, compassionate, and loving. So He clothed Himself in human flesh, came to earth, taught and demonstrated perfect love, even in an oppressive atmosphere of legalistic religion. Then He willingly gave up His life to pay the price for all sin. Since then all of mankind has had access to God, if only we put our trust and our faith in Jesus Christ. No other religion presents a god who paid the price for sin so that mankind could be reconciled to him. I encourage you to look past the bad behavior of some Christians, read the Bible for yourself, ask Jesus to reveal the truth about Himself to you as you read, and He will.
And no, the word "Christian" is not found in the Bible. That is a word that means, "little Christ" and it was chosen to represent believers in Christ after the books of the Bible were completed.

Cuz people are ignorant enough to forget that all the religions, just like the small streams and rivers, lead to the same ocean (God). If you read the Al Quran, Bible, Bhagavath Gita, Zoroastrism, Buddhism, etc. They all preach basically the same practical thing. DO GOOD. And isn't GOOD a quality of GOD? These are all ignorant folks. There is only one religion, the religion of LOVE.

previous testomony regulation says no, this is unclean. Scientists let us know that it's not the main suitable situation for us the two. yet, interior the recent testomony, God confirmed Peter in a dream that all and sundry nutrition replaced into sparkling if blessed via God........the recent Covenant frees us as much as do many stuff we could no longer do under the regulation. the base line is to bless the nutrition until eventually now you eat it. (and the place beef is in touch, cook dinner it nicely achieved to avert tape worms!). many stuff we are given liberty to do, regardless of if it would not advise we ought to continually do them. it relatively is relatively a private determination, yet we, as Christians, are allowed to eat beef if we ask God's blessing.

..."CHRISTIANS" IS FOUND IN THE BIBLE. LOOK UP ACTS 11:26, which says "and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And for an entire year they met with the church and taught considerable numbers; and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch."
...For UNOS - you wrote: They all preach basically the same practical thing. DO GOOD. And isn't GOOD a quality of GOD? These are all ignorant folks. There is only one religion, the religion of LOVE.
...You are wrong, friend. There are really two faiths, the "DO" and the "DONE".
...1. Christianity is the "DONE" faith. In 1 Corinthians 15 we read, "3 For I passed on to you first of all what I also had received, that Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for our sins in accordance with [what] the Scriptures [foretold],
4 That He was buried, that He arose on the third day as the Scriptures foretold,"
...Christianity is based on the finished work of Christ - what He has already done, and we are called to trust in Him alone for salvation. When He died, Jesus said, "It is finished", meaning the debt is paid, or paid in full.
.....Galations 3:26 says, "For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus."
...Acts 4:12 says, "And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved."
...One we trust in Him, He calls us to follow Him. We are declared righteous in God's eyes. He gives us His Holy Spirit to empower us to live for Him. The Bible becomes our guidebook for life.
**********************************************
...2. All other faiths are "DO" faiths - that is, they count on some type of works-based salvation program, if you just do enough good things to outweigh the bad, God will justify you and you can become right with God, but the Bible says,
..."But we are all as unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags..." Isaiah 64:6
..."by the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified" Romans 3:28
***********************************************
...I urge you to trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved, if you never have.
***********************************************
...P.S.
..1. "Christians" appears 1 time, in Acts 11:26
Acts 11:26 - and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.
...The word "Christian" appears twice, observe:
...1. Acts 26:28 - Agrippa replied to Paul, "In a short time you will persuade me to become a Christian."
...2. 1Peter 4:16 -but if anyone suffers as a Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God in this name.

i do not hold to any modern Christan beliefs, and i think the bible is a joke it has been rewritten to suit to many people of power the proof of that is the book of Thomas. witch is not in the bible but was not found until the 1900's(it was written by Christ's real brother. who would better know Christ's true teachings?) it is the only book that i believe is unaltered and it is worth reading here's the link.

hi
i am a christian and we dun amke separations ok
God created man in His own image to serve His bt man sinned(genesis chapert 1-4)and was cast out of the garden of eden.so God sent His son Jesus Christ to save man becaz man sinned and that separated man from God
Salvation is giving ur life to God and renonucing sin and by doing this you accept Jesus into ur life and heart
it says in the Bible that God is pure and there is no sin in Him so how do u expect him to reside in sum1 hus heart is filled with eveil
i do agree sum ppl r ugd n may nt b christain bt we dun act like God belongs to only us
we proclaim He is in our heart and that we wud also like u to share that personal relationship with Him
remember sum ppl openly do renounce God so wud u live in ur frens haus wen ur fren denounces u n says ur aint his or her fren dat u aint a part of their lives anymore
so God lives in ur heart if u want Him to n He doesnt wen u dun want Him to.sum christians r wrong if they act live God is unreachable by unbelievrs cuz if dat was tru thwn no 1 wud eva b saved cuz we were all unbelievers b4 we bkame christians
all the best

Very few people will catch the implications of your question. Taking "communion" that is, ingesting the host or whatever it is called in ones church. is derived from "eating" the god in order to become one with the god. Originally it was a form of cannibalism; people were sacrificed to the gods and their parts were eaten. When that was deemed inhumane, animals were sacrificed. These days people share bread and wine (for blood, of course) or water. It simply amazes me how few people realize that they are commemorating a disgusting and superstitious practice of primitive civilizations. Of course no one likes to hear the truth behind their religious beliefs!

I want to answer this question, but Im confused by it. Anyone else?
You dont have to be married to be saved, God is available to anyone who seeks him, the Bible is not just for Christians, anyone can read it, and study it. God is with all of us, but some choose to reject it.
