Do you know the difference between Christianity and religion?

Question

Lets see what you think.

Answer 1

blah blah blah.

You can rediefine it all you want, but Christianity is still a religion, even if you consider it a "personal relationship".

Myself, Im still wondering why this God who wants nothing more than a personal relationship, keeps hiding himself from me and everyone else.... Hardly the way to behave...

Answer 2

I believe, Christianity focuses on your relationship with the Lord (w/out some of the rituals that other religions may have)... Christianity includes Focusing on his Word (the Bible), Prayer, Sharing the Good News, & living the 10 Commandments, etc. Religion is a very broad term that represents your faith for instance, Catholics religion includes (confessions, Hail Mary's, etc.) I am interested to see other responses too... This can be viewed differently by a lot of people.

Answer 3

I know the difference between spirituality and religion. And I soppuse that in the truest sense, a Christian is spiritual. Religion is the pratice of following teachings and laws. Spirituality is the relationship that can only be obtained when one moves beyond the laws and searches for the true nature of God in order to form a close realtionship with him.

I would hope, that I am a spiritual person.

Answer 4

Christianity, organized religion that follows the Bible as selected by the Council of Nicea. Many interpretations.

Religion, a belief structure that often deals with the creation of man and is used to explain the meaning of life.

Answer 5

They, may don't have any difference, if I can practice the two of then, as the description of the conditions that I can apply to then, (Christianity and Religion), will achieved good and positive results, for the better-ness, improvement, and empowerment of a Human Being. Christianity is the believed in Christ, religion is what you do best, for your own comfort, Spiritually, Physically and mentally.

A religious attitude a/o approach to things that could affect you a/o others its is only an state of mind in which you aren't negative to your own kind. as well if you practice religion with a Christian attitude, is a good thing. although Catholicism, is my religion, I practice it in a Christian way, been my self open to understanding others who may think that Catholicism, isn't so, better than Christianity it-self. although I'm steal religious to try to tell others the differences between been a Christian and a Catholic.

Because of that attitude I have been able to discover, in a Christian way that Tibetan Buddhism to my knowledge and my perception is the best thing a NON-religious person, in need of some enlightenment need to fix, a/o put a better order, in some of his/hers own priorities. a/o for "A Human being A life"

Answer 6

Your question doesn't make sense. That's like asking what's the difference between a vegetable and a potato. A potato is a vegetable; Christianity is a religion, like Judaism, Hinduism, Islam, etc.

Answer 7

Religion is a set of rituals or rules that people should or must follow; Christianity is based on a relationship to God through Jesus Christ.

Answer 8

Christianity is about a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP with God, i.e. Jesus Christ. Jesus WENT AGAINST RELIGION when He went against the Pharisees (men who made up their own rules, regulations, and rituals) and claimed to be righteous men in their own eyes. Jesus told them that they thought they were Jews, but were not. Meaning that they abided by their own laws, and not God's. They rejected Jesus, even when He told them who He was. They put themselves above God! Sound familiar?
Anyway, religion has nothing to do with Christianity. Or should I say Christianity has nothing to do with religion. Anything else is a religion, because it is not a personal relationship with the one true God. Yes, even Atheism is a religion. figure that one out. Oh, by the way, did you know that God does not believe in Atheists? They have their own religion, and agenda. Think about it.

Answer 9

Let me expand on the first answer, To be a christian means to have a faith based relationship with God, He as Father we as His children. It's a family kind of relationship. While religion is a list of dos and don'ts that must be followed... Jim

Answer 10

Christianity is a religion, and it is based on a book of religious teachings, called the bible.

If not for this book, and the stories it contains, you would have never heard the name Jesus, and you would not have a "personal relationship" with him. These things have been taught to you via the religion.
