I know this'll seem Liberal but anything specific?

Homosexuality is not wrong

Reincarnation is possible

Abortion is not wrong only in two ways, (1) a woman is raped or (2) both mother and baby could die in the delivery room

The end of the world is always possible but only God knows when

The bible is the witness of God but not the word of God and that Adam & Eve didn't exist and the book of revelations has a good message but it won't happen exactly like that, if at all

Jahvar's mama I am a Christian because I do believe that Jesus is the son of God and if you want to get to heaven he is the only way. I think it's "christians" like you who give good Christians a bad name and ruin it for the rest of us! I hope someone prays for you!

The homosexuality part, witness of God part mostly fits Episcopals, reincarnation fits liberal christians, and the abortion part fits Seventh Day Adventists.

Got it! It fits the 'United Church of Christ'.
Although some vary congregation to congregation.

Sounds like Esoteric Christianity, which you can find info on via the wikipedia.
And don't listen to the close-minded who say you're straying or what-not.

I think you might be most comfortable with a Unitarian Universalist congregation, however, they tend to be slightly more liberal than some of your beliefs. However, some UUs are more traditionally "Christian", and most keep their opinions on abortion to themselves.

I am curious as to why abortion is not "murder" if the woman was raped. Or are you confusing having a child with punishment for sex? Does she just have to have a really, really good reason? What if she's homeless? What if her husband just died and she is now broke and alone? What if she's only 14 and was talked into having sex by her 16 year old boyfriend? Why should you be the one to decide whether she has a good enough reason? Just curious. I'm pro-choice, by the way, because I don't want to judge other women's reasons for having a medical procedure.

Best of luck in your search.

1. Unitarian, some Episcopalians, Unity, Metropolitan Community Church.

2. Rosicrucian Fellowship, some (but not all) Unity believers.

3. Unsure. There are a number of churches that leave the matter to one's on individual conscience.

4. Most evangelical Protestants, but especially if "always possible" is changed for "positively going to occur".

5. Some of the "mainline Protestant" groups. Many Christian denominations are not Biblical literalists.

I am a non-denominational Christian, and happy to be one! Denominations are too confusing...I mean, there are lots of branches of some denominations. I think that what your talking about might be a branch of unitarianism, but with all of the different groups of unitarians, it's hard to know. There are a lot of different denominations (or atleast, a few branches of a lot of denominations) that believe 1 and 3, and even more that believe 4, but 2 and 5 are tough. Maybe techno-christians for 2, but I don't know about 5.

Oh, and as for the answer from the guy above me, I agree about the church thing. I don't go there, and I'm still a Christian.

Unitarian? It is not the Episcopalians. We do not believe in reincarnation. The bible is the inspired word of God, but not to be taken literally, abortion is permissible for one of 3 reasons: save the live of the mother, rape and incest. We accept homosexuals, most of us do at least. There is debate about that.

I don't think you will find a Christian religion that would publicly accept all the things you wrote, But you will a number of more moderate religions would tolerate homosexuals. But the problem with the end o the world thing is this, All Christian religions base their belief system on this, so you will have a hard time find any that wouldn't have a 'end is nigh' type message.

Prob. Unitarian. They are an anything goes religion. I know they believe in Reincarnation and that Jesus is not the only way to heaven.

The Catholic Church is the one one I understand of that teaches that non-Christians can move to heaven. And no longer simply those who've certainly not heard of Jesus. Also, we cherish the Bible precisely the way in which it's, decoding it inside its ancient context, in mild of the way it was once compiled over the centuries. For illustration, Pope John Paul II mentioned he did not have any main issue with the Big Bang idea -- it's not relevant such a lot how God did it; the factor is, God did it. You can feel in evolution and nonetheless love the tale of Adam and Eve for the exclusive matters it teaches approximately human nature and our dating with God and every different. While the Catholic Church does coach that homosexuality is a sin, we're taught to like the sinner -- we are all sinners -- no longer to pass judgement on them; to not shun them; to not deal with them with any much less kindness and compassion than we desire others to regard us, as sinners too. My sister placed her daughter in a Baptist preschool after which discovered they did not do Halloween. Her daugher was once horrified. Catholics invented Halloween. Evidence of Catholicism's breadth is that we generally tend to vote approximately part Democrat and part Republican. The phrase "catholic" manner "common" or "open to all." I was once taught that God is our loving Father and he loves all his children the equal -- there's no situation in Christianity for racism or whatever else that separates us from one yet another or makes a few humans suppose they are greater than others. As if God loves a few of his children greater than others -- how dumb is that. Of direction, each and every parish is one of a kind, so take a look at a couple of and notice how you favor them. Also, the Catholic liturgy is very similar to the Episcopalian, so your husband would think extra comfy there, too. P.S. A message to IL Padrino (above): Your conceitedness is outrageous. Too dangerous you did not say which church you move to -- I could suggest the asker to preclude that one.

none, its what happens when you no longer accept what some man who rapes boys tells you is right and wrong, its called being smart enough not to live your life blindfolded, and there arent enough of us to form a group. you dont need a church to beleive in God! try to find where it says so in the bible! it says worship, not go to a building for two hours a week and give them 10% of your money, guess who that benifits? not God! according to them, someone who worshiped every day would go to hell but someone who goes to church(and happens to give 10%) will go to heaven! think about it

Probably Unitarian Universalist.

They are very open and very liberal, but still believe that there is A higher power, but not necessarily Christian or otherwise.
