Question...Do You Consider Yourself Christian...?

Question

1--do you follow any of the teachings of Christ???
2--do you blame all your faults on being human and that God will forgive you because he loves you???

i hate when ppl treat others badly...go ask God for forgiveness...then go right back to treating others badly

that's not cool. Why ask for forgiveness if you don't plan on being better and reforming your actions.

sorry to hear that weatherman...

Answer 1

No, I'm an atheist

Answer 2

I am a Christian, and I try to follow all the teachings of Christ. If I sin, then I take full responsibility for my actions. Nothing can make me disobey Christ's commandments except my own sinful, selfish nature.

And the term "repent" means to turn away from your sins with the intention of never committing them again. If you repeatedly 'repent' and then turn around and commit the same sin again, you're only fooling yourself.

God does love us, and He forgives us when we sincerely repent of hurting someone or doing something wrong. But it's a privilege and not something to be abused.

Answer 3

Yom Kippur is the day of repentance, atonement and reconciliation, the holiest and most solemn days of the year.The rites for Yom Kippur are set forth in the sixteenth chapter of Leviticus (cf. Exodus 30:10; Leviticus 23:27-31, 25:9; Numbers 29:7-11).

Answer 4

Yes I consider myself a Christian. I strive to be Christ like everyday and everyday its a battle. No that isn't the right way to treat people and I don't consider people like that a Christian. They are abusing Gods grace. We are to ask for forgiveness and then change, not go back and do it all over again. God knows that they are not really meaning it. He knows our hearts when we go to him. When we see people acting like that we as a Christian should point that out to them. We are suppose to hold each other accountable for our actions. God Bless

Answer 5

I dont consider myself a Christian because that is nothing more than a title. A title that many claim but have no idea what one is or was as defined in the Bible. I do have a relationship with God and that is what we need. The Bible is my instruction book to life. I obey Christ and follow where He wants me to go and do. He is in control of my life. Yes there are times that I feel I can do this on my own. Then I fail and realize I should have had Him help me all along. Peace out................

Answer 6

To be a Christian is Christ like and yeah i agree with you goes to show how weak we all are and how God does forgive us all 70 times 7 but the fight is the flesh and fighting the mind to stop doing those bad things we call sin. Theres alot to change in ones life and we are all in it together. And we all have a hard time forgiving ourselves and to forget the sin and the past and move forward in a good spirit , mind and flesh. like MC Hammer always said " YOU GOT TO PRAY JUST TO MAKE IT TODAY"

Answer 7

1. I do believe in the teachings of Christ.
2. Christ doesn't forgive you if you keep on committing the same sin. He WILL forgive you if you repent, though. That means he'll forgive you if you're really sorry for something you've done, and if you try not to commit it again.

Answer 8

I am an atheist, that is, I subscribe to a realistic alternative to theologies of despair and ideologies of violence and I embrace the material world as a source of rich personal significance and I take genuine satisfaction in service to others. I have no “god” or higher authority than me. I am what I am and that’s all that I am. At the end of the day, all we have is ourselves and, if we are fortunate, friends and family.

I believe in optimism rather than pessimism, hope rather than despair, learning in the place of dogma, truth instead of ignorance, joy rather than guilt or sin, tolerance in the place of fear, love instead of hatred, compassion and the virtue of selfishness, beauty instead of ugliness, and reason rather than blind faith or irrationality.

I believe in the fullest realization of the best and noblest that we are capable of as human beings. Prayer may bring comfort to the believer, but, as I have indicated, I would rather deal with life straight on as consistent within Nature than depend upon an entity for which I have no evidence and no reason to believe. Unlike many religionists, I have no doubt that works are more important than faith.

I believe in what I know.
I believe in personal autonomy.
I believe in the essential goodness of humans.
I believe in truth. Proof. Experience. Requited love.

A man should believe in something - and I believe I’ll have another beer . . .

Answer 9

Not Christian
I follow the teachings like the ones about caring for others.
I blame my faults on me. If I don't like something, all I need to do is work on changing it. I don't need forgiveness. If I messed up, it's my fault, so I need to be the one to make it right. Internal locus of control.

Answer 10

If you ask for forgiveness with no intention of amending your actions, it will not be granted.

But we have to be careful, your question has a twinge of judgemet in it, that is something that we have to guard against, for we do not know the true hearts of others.

Peace!

Answer 11

I agree with you. As a Christian I believe we are to continually grow in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. This means that as we see flaws and failures in our lives we bring them before the throne of grace, repent of them and trust God to replace our human nature with the fruit of His Spirit: Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control.

We are to love the Lord our God with all our heart soul mind and strength and our neighbor as our self.
