Do you consider yourself a traditional Christian? Are you non-traditional? What does this mean to you?

Dear love your dog.. I am a full follower of God, and believe the entire Bible. I believe in holiness and obedience. I believe all of the Bible, not just parts I want to believe. Many would say I am a very old fashioned Christian, and too much so, but they are wrong. Certain tradations within the church are great, some are surely not. Its not what churches preach that I hear, its what Jesus preached. If the tradition falls within Jesus' teachings, then great, lets Go for it. But, if its just manmade tradition and doesnt fall withint the teaching of Jesus, I will have no part of it. Just think on this . ask What Would Jesus Do to all things and you just get sudden revelation.
some things are just there and not against God at all, just tradition, and those we much each ask God about. WE do what the Holy Spirit Guides us to do, but remembering the devil talks to us too, and we must be sure who we are listening to. The more we obey, the more it shuts out the voice of the devil.
A few years ago I was in a so called Christian church, and we had no sermon. The pastor stood up and introduced a magician, I kid you not. What does the Bible say of that. Evil. witchcraft. This person stood and did irrevenant off color jokes, and did magic. all sat and just laughed and roared like they wre at some secular show or something. few were bothered. As I talked to the pastor later, Ifound I was only one of a few to be bothered and complain. Pastor said Church was full today huh? SO, my response... bring in a stripper next week and you will surely pack the palce. gimme a break. it its not truth we hear, then we need no unity for the lies. only unity for truth. few today seem to do what God said about checking all things against scripture and want only the warm fuzzies of God, and to be told that grace covers all sin and its ok to keep sining. To that God said GOD forbid We are free in Christ, but not free to sin, but to NOT sin. So, we must use our Bible and know what God says about everything and then obey. including the decision on if a tradition should be in church or not. I left that other church, because they stayed in that mode of whatever it took to filll the church has to be ok. bars are full too, but are they of God.
Wake up ppl. jesus is coming soon. Let only He deceide what is right and wrong in this life. He is the one that KNOWS all, and was able to turn from all temptation of sin. HE was given as our example for a reason, lets not forget HIM.

Very few Christians I know follow the traditional christian teachings. For example, look at all the restrictions in the Old Testament. Could anybody really follow those to a tee? To answer your question then, most people would fall into the non-traditional christian catergory.

A "tradition" is anything that people have been persuaded to do twice. It can be good, bad or indifferent. A "Tradition" is an understanding that has been consistent with the other doctrines of a faith for a very long time. I try to be consistent with the Tradition of my faith, but I attach no significance to the forms of its expression, no matter how established they may be.

I study the true teachings of Jesus from his book the course in miracles.
Traditional Christianity does not follow the teachings of Jesus at all.
