Why do some christians say "My Fellow Believers"?
Dont they realise that they aren't the only people that beleive in something? if they want chirstians only then they should say that instead of "Believers."
Because everyone "Believes" in something, weather it's the Pagan Gods, the Gods of Abraham, or even Evolution.

I've often wondered this, too. I think it's because they work on the assumption that their beliefs are the only correct ones. Therefore they use the term "Believers" interchangeably with "Christians".

It's because they think they are the only ones who believe in something. They fail to comprehend that their are other faiths and their are people who believe in and worship other Gods.
My last question I posted I got accused of being a "godless liberal" simply because I wasn't a Christian. Lol

they are not Jews because of the fact Jew's don't think the messiah has come yet. they have not got faith Jesus so believing in Jesus and asserting your Jewish needless to say contradicts one yet another.... it rather is unhappy that there are those Evangelist Christians that decision themselves "Jews". quit this custom now, your disgracing the two Judaism and Christianity.

I am Christian, but I stay out of the churches, so I'm quessing, but I think what they mean is : "fellow believers in Christ",
but they shorten it, to "believers".
Who the hell honestly knows?

Since no two Christians believe exactly the same thing, "my fellow believers" means nothing. Ever notice how every Christians believes he/she is a true Christian, but others are not? Yeah, me too.
