Do you consider Unitarian as true Christian?

Question

According to me CZ they believe that God is One and they reject Trinity (CZ it`s not exist in Bible) I consider them as True Christian, What About You ?

Answer 1

yes they are the only true christian

Answer 2

No. We don't count as True Christians because we don't believe in the divinity of Jesus, salvation by grace or transsubstantiation.

Brother Michael has done some of his homework, but missed the fact Unitarians and Universalists were different churches in the USA until 1961, when they merged.

Also, some of us are Atheists, Agnostics, Wiccans or Buddhists. We believe in the worth and dignity of every person, even if he is black, gay, lesbian, old, poor, crippled or unemployed. All of us believe that strongly. We let our members make up their own mind abou the nature of God, which annoys or amuses people who belong to normal churches.

Answer 3

I don't want to stand in judgment of them, but I am personally annoyed by and afraid for people who say they believe in Jesus, but don't follow anything He said or have a desire to learn, they just go their own way. I was one of those type people in my 20's and it causes people to turn away from the Christian G-d, I believe, because other people think we are hypocrites. I also don't like prosperity and scam preaching. As for whether these people are Christians or not, that is for G-d to decide, but it's not looking good for them. And Richard? I spent about 6 months on that Universal Reconciliation website you are promoting, and I am afraid for what he is teaching, too. I think they mean well, but just telling everyone that there is no hell is just misleading people and giving them a false sense of hope, no matter how much we might want that. Shalom.

Answer 4

How do you answer
John 10:30
1 John 5:7-8
Trinity, as a word, is not in the Bible. The concept IS in the Bible.

Answer 5

They are Gnostic.

According to the doctrine of the Gnostics we aren't saved by the blood of Jesus. Eventually everyone just escapes the mortal coil.

What better way to turn your back on your responsibility to the one who created the world and died to pay for your sin so that by believing and turning from your sin you could have eternal life?

Just believe that you don't have any. Sin, or responsibility.

There is an aspect of Gnosticism that is hidden from most. Those who are the most engaged in the spreading of the false gospel of Gnosticism don't believe it themselves. They worship Lucifer, by another name, and because they don't hold themselves to the standard of holiness that God Almighty gave to us they are able to lie with impunity and draw all who will away from the one who made them and gave his life for them.

Answer 6

Hmmm...I'm not sure if you mean Unitarian or Unitarian-Universalist.

Of course, since there is no universally agreed upon definition of "True Christian," I guess they are if they want to be - I would just wonder why anyone would want to be.

Answer 7

I say no.

"The General Convention of the Unitarian Universalists formulated the five principles of the Universalist Faith in 1899.

* The Universal Fatherhood of God
* The spiritual authority and leadership of His Son Jesus Christ
* The trustworthiness of the Bible as containing a revelation from God
* The certainty of just retribution for sin
* The final harmony of all souls with God

Additional beliefs generally held by Unitarian Universalists are:

* Salvation is by grace through faith and not by works in any way.
* Jesus became the Son of God at His baptism.
* The Holy Spirit is not a person, does not have a will, etc.
* There now is and will be rewards and punishments according to one's actions but this does not consist of the traditional doctrine of hell.
* Human reason and experience should be the final authority in determining spiritual truth.

This last point, "Human reason and experience should be the final authority in determining spiritual truth," is perhaps the most revealing of the character of Unitarian Universalists. Instead of God and his word being the final authority on truth and error, or right and wrong, Unitarian Universalists subject God and his word to their understanding, feeling, and reason. This is exemplified in the following quote obtain from the official Unitarian Universalist website at http://uua.org/. This was found under the heading Unitarian Universalists say:

* "I want a religion that respects the differences between people and affirms every person as an individual."
* "I want a church that values children, that welcomes them on their own terms—a church they are eager to attend on Sunday morning."
* "I want a congregation that cherishes freedom and encourages open dialogue on questions of faith, one in which it is okay to change your mind."
* "I want a religious community that affirms spiritual exploration and reason as ways of finding truth."
* "I want a church that acts locally and thinks globally on the great issues of our time—world peace; women's rights; racial justice; homelessness; gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender rights; and protection of the environment."

Notice that each of the five statements begins with "I want..." This is not the humble attitude of one indwelt by the Holy Spirit of God. It is not the attitude of one who wants to put God first.
It can plainly be seen that this is a religion based upon personal hopes and desires and not upon the the Bible.
I cannot help but think of the five "I will's" listed in Isaiah 14:13-14:

"But you said in your heart,
I will ascend to heaven;
I will raise my throne above the stars of God,
I will sit on the mount of assembly in the recesses of the north.
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds;
I will make myself like the Most High.’

Many commentators believe that these five "I wills" were uttered by Satan as he sought to be exalted and equal to God. They reflect the arrogance of the evil one as his heart was filled with pride and put his own will before God's. He had his desires before God's.
But notice what Isaiah says in the next verse:

"Nevertheless you will be thrust down to Sheol, to the recesses of the pit."

Jesus said, "Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks," (Matt. 12:34). We can see that the Unitarian Universalists speak first from their own desires, according to their own wisdom, and not according to the wisdom of God. What does God say about this?

"For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God," ( 1 Cor. 3:19)."

Answer 8

Who are any of us to judge anyone else It is not important what you or I believe but what they believe. The late great David Ben Gurion once said a jew is anyone who says he is so should it be with unitarians

Answer 9

NO, they are a rehash of the Gnostics in the 2nd and 3rd centuries who corrupted knowledge of Christ and degraded Him to a mere spiritual teacher. It is easier to call them Hindus instead.

Answer 10

if they believe in Christ as the savior of mankind, the only begotten Son of God, the Messiah foretold in O.T. prophesy, then they are Christian...if not, then by definition, they are not...it's not that difficult a concept

Answer 11

I do not consider them as Christian. To me that is a good thing. The fundamental tennet of UU churches is free thought which is the exact opposite of Christianity which forces blind obediance to ignorant superstitious doctrine..
