Ok, so what kind of Christian am I?

Question

I was just called a right-wing fundi?

Here’s my beliefs:
My faith is in Jesus, not a religion.
I believe that one should be at least somewhat knowledgeable of other’s beliefs.
We do the Halloween thing.
I am Pro-Choice. Not Pro-Abortion.
I don’t believe in the Trinity, as 3 separate deities.

I would like to know what ‘category’ I fall into.

Or....do you even consider me to be a Christian?

Answer 1

There is only one kind of Christian. A forgiven Christian. All the rest of the stuff that you wrote about is between you and God. He will show you where you should stand and what is truth if you will seek it out. And seek Him out.

It is a journey that takes a lifetime of study and growth and prayer. Enjoy yours. Be blessed in Jesus.

Answer 2

Well, I can't say you fall into any typical category but, no offense, but you have created a bit of your own God, as the scriptures say many will do. When Christ was here, he ORGANIZED His church. His Church consisted of Prophets, apostles, seventies, priests, deacons, etc. It was an organization. I don't see anyything wrong if the Halloween thing is celebrated in a fun, playful way. Nor am I critical of people who oppose it either. If you are pro choice it means that you support abortion. Either you are for it, or against it. God said He spits from His mouth people that are neither hot or cold. Basically, you either stand for what's right or you are supporting what is wrong. And the trinity, they are three, distinct separate beings. Example? Christ. WHen he was baptized. Christ is with John, the voice of the Father comes from the Heavens saying "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased and the Holy Ghost deceded like a dove. 3 Separate beings! 3 different places! It's so easy and clear to see! The only category that I think you fall in is the same that many of us can fall into: "walking after our own Gods". We make God to be a being that fits us best that suits our needs and really don't take the time to study, pray and ponder after the will of THE true and living God. Hope this helps ya! Take care.

Answer 3

Dear Quella B,

One of my favorite quotes is:

"In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity." Augustine."

We know that there are many different denominations and areas of belief in Christianity where Christians well differ. I think the quote above is key. In terms of essentials we are talking about this:

*All men are sinners. And sin has separated man from God.
*We need to confess our sinfulness and accept Jesus' sacrifice on the cross so that his blood will cover our sins, and we can be considered righteous before God.
*God the Father, Jesus the Son, and The Holy Spirit are all God, but are one.
*The Bible is the word of God, and we conduct our lives in according to the Bible.

Ultimately God is the one who judges us and the one we must stand before. It really doesn't matter what other people think about you... to be called a right wing fundi is part of what it means to be persecuted for God and all who desire to live godly the Bible tells us well be persecuted.

I think as you grow in Christ and as you study your Bible (which is a big part of growing) you will find that your beliefs are being shaped by God's word. The trinity is an essential doctrine- so i would try to read up on that - and talk to other Christians that you know and they may be able to show you why they believe that. (It's a very long and complicated question to answer right now).

Christianity isn't about a category because when we meet God he's not going to put the Baptists in part of Heaven, the Lutherans in another part, etc. Most people do also identify their "denomination" by the church they go to.

I am not certain where you stand with God in regards to your doctrine concerning the Trinity but i would say that Christianity means that you follow Christ- and Christ clearly taught that He, His Father, and the Holy Spirit are one. And these may be key components missing in your faith.

Hope that helps. Kindly,

Nickster

Answer 4

Ok, i guess u are Jehovah Witness. But i rather no said Jehovah Witness is Christian.

They didn't believe in Trinity. They rather to some non denominational 'church' concept.

I agree with Esther up there. U do Hallowen thing not because u're Christian or not (since true Christian reject it), but because u just wanna have some fun, don't you?

Dissagree about Abortion is good thing. Sorry, my bad, what do u mean Pro-Choice?

You're not Charismatic, since I'm studying these concept, none of your detail is match with Charismatic.

Now, the Question is: What do you want to be? Just like this? Or being better than this? (I said 'better' since i ever recognized something 'better' than this).

Answer 5

What do you believe about Jesus Himself? That's the deciding factor that's gonna matter in the Judgement. However, if you don't believe in the Trinity, I'd say you're probably on dangerous ground. Not acknowledgeing Jesus' divinity is not believing in Who He is. If you don't believe that, how can you believe anything about Him at all other than that He was a prophet or a teacher, or even just some guy?

Answer 6

What do you want to be?

Read the Bible (perhaps the New Testament first, and then the Old). The Old tells you about the need for Jesus and the signs of His coming. The New tells you that Jesus came and what He did and what He said and the implementation of the Holy Spirit and the founding of the Church.

See how that meshes with you over time and decide what you want to be. And what you need to be now that you know the Truth.

We can't decide for you.

Answer 7

But why have faith in Jesus? He was just trying to show everyone that you don't need a temple or priests to communicate with God.
And you don't need a label. Just say that you are "spiritual", that's what I do because I refuse to go to church because they don't give a tithe to the widows & poor and I don't need a mediator between me & God. I also am Pro-Choice (I don't feel it is my place to dictate what someone else should do with their own body), I celebrate Halloween by taking my son trick-or-treating & dressing up.
Even Jesus said he wasn't God- it's in the bible- but he confused people when he told them that God was inside him. It's a spiritual thing and I believe that God is inside me- and you- and the person that called you a right-wing fundi, etc.
We were all born with a part of the "life-force" of God inside of us. Hence the reason, our bodies are a temple.
There is no holy trinity as Jesus was the messanger- he was the light to show us the path- by making your life mimic his you can find the path to a greater spirituality.
Anyway, that's just some of what I believe.

Answer 8

I don't want to offend you, but you asked. From what I gather, you are a Christian abortionist. I don't see the difference between pro-choice and pro-abortion. You want women to have the right to choose to murder their unborn offspring. Last time I looked, Jesus taught to "love"....not tear apart the living being inside your womb. If you disagree, you need to seriously examine your position. For your info, I have no religion, but I believe in a higher power that created everything.

Answer 9

It only matters what you are to Christ Jesus. Put your faith in Him and let Him live through you. Ask yourself "What Would Jesus Do?" You sound to me like you have head knowledge of Gods Word, but not heartfelt, not spiritually mature.
I do not know you well enough, to say one way or the other.
I do know this for a fact: God is not Pro- Abortion or Pro-Choice. God says: ....because you are lukewarm, I will spit you out of my mouth. You either belong to Christ Jesus, or to the world, you cannot belong to both.
May Gods Blessings be upon you....Peace.

Answer 10

I don't believe in religion either. I DO believe you have to have a relationship with Jesus. Read John chapter 3, this explains how you "become" a true Christian. If you have already done this then I would say you are as a child learning to walk in your faith.
I am praying for you.
