did you know if you were a "christian" then turned agnostic?

Question

then you really wer`nt a christian;because if you were you would have truely accepted God`s love and not want to leave.

Answer 1

Well I will agree except I became Pagan not agnostic. So it is good to know I have always been Pagan and was just a little lost for awhile in the Christian masses.

Answer 2

Yes, that's in Hebrews.

"For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God, and put Him to open shame." - Hebrews 6:4-6

It's always confused me a bit; considering that many people were raised Christians and never given a choice in the matter. Apparently, if they later on stop to question what they've been taught for their entire life, it's pretty much an unforgivable sin...

...but if someone spends the first part of their life as a mass murderer, but then comes to Christianity, he's cool.

I was raised Christian, and taught to never, ever question it. When I finally started doing so, my family acted like I was committing the biggest sin imaginable.

I guess I feel like if asking questions will strengthen your faith, where's the harm? Apparently, that's not what the Bible says.

Answer 3

Thank God!!...for a while there I had been kicking myself for wasting the first 25 years of my life as a Christian, instead of using reason and logic. Now I can be gain comfort in the fact that I never really believed that mumbo jumbo and i was really smart the whole time,
thank you

Answer 4

I totally disagree.

Do you not know that nobody becomes a Christian on their own accord. It is entirely a work of God the Holy Spirit in the waters of Holy Baptism. It is at that time, and that time only, that a person becomes a "Christian". It's not about how much faith we have...it's all bout the Grace of God received in His Sacraments..."outward and visible signs of inward and spiritual graces we have received"...

Now, someone's faith may become weak, and they may become a "less-than-proficient" Christian...or even an agnostic Christian...but they are a Christian nonetheless.

Answer 5

when we get born, we gain our family's relegion we have nothing to do about that.
but when we grow up, do we have the carriage to think again about that, and what if we find out that we were in the wrong side, do we have enough carriage to change it.
any relegion that cannot stand gainst your doubts dos not desirve to follow it.
if the words really are the god's words it dos not need translation it will be clear and easy no confussions and no conflicts.

Answer 6

A comment on Father K:

If that was true then if someone never became a christian and died then god would technically according to you condemn them to hell without ever giving them a chance!

Answer 7

Then what's the problem with leaving? I'd think you'd want the non-Christians out.

Answer 8

You are now rambling. I think you were probably more fun as a drunk.

I used to believe in Father Christmas. I also used to think I was going to become a professional footballer.

At one stage, I didn't used to be able to calculate a percentage.

Does that mean I was never actually a child?

Answer 9

Yea I've heard this time and time again.

You all must be really afraid of free thought if you feel such a need to denigrate the path other people have traveled.

Answer 10

What an epithany (bright idea} Like we are not stupid
