Answer 1

Yes. I am a true Christian.

I highly recommend the book, "Pagan Christianity-The Origins of Our Modern Church Practices" by Frank Viola

http://www.ptmin.org/


Also any book by Gene Edwards is Excellent.

Answer 2

True Christian has an identity.

2Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

I do not follow all the teachings in the Bible because there is a teaching of devil written in it.

1Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

What true Christian follows is the gospel of Jesus.

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

For true Christian, everyday is a holy day.

Luke 9:23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

Jesus did not follow the sabbath day or the 7th day of the week.

John 5:18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

Fake Christian follow not the true gospel.

Galatians 1:6 I marvel that ye are so quickly removing from him that called you in the grace of Christ unto a different gospel;

Galatians 1:7 which is not another gospel: only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

We should read the Bible.

Revelation 1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

Answer 3

i really don't know if the bible is fully reliable or if it has been distorted so much by the endless meddlings of the churches (going back to the days pre 1400's when the only people that could read were like high up in the vatican and so on, who knows what was really going on - normal people didn't.)
and the cult of the priest to 'read the scripture to you and tell you what they reckon God was tryin to say'. hmmph! 'and please give generously, because otherwise God might put a plague on you. oh and if you want us to pray for you, because of course we priests are that little bit closer to God than you scum, could you also please pay another gold coin'. and so on. so this is the programming we have to deal with.

i seriously don't know who has the....ability to re-write the bible the way it should have been, but there is enough evidence that it's been changed. i was brought up christian and went to enough bible bashing events to have certain quotes sort of 'held within' on my hard drive. i reckon if i read the bible now, i could discern which bits are like 'totally!" and which bits are 'nah that doesn't sound right'.
i also don't know which observations Jesus followed that we 'should follow' that were because he was born in the year XYZ in a particular culture where people did XYZ, and which ones are 'by divine decree'. I am sure that if i had been born jewish in the year dot, i would have been a good little jewish girl and observed the customs of the day, of my family, it's what one did. and still does!

so yeah. i reckon it's barking up the wrong tree to say, what rituals and tasks and 'things' should i do, how should i wipe my bottom. it's about compassion and unconditional love and forgiveness and much more significant things.

Answer 4

Have you presently discerned the difference between the scriptures and the Bible? Have you applied the 2 or more witnesses (Jews Deutr. 10-20; Christians Matt. 18:16, 2 Cor. 13:1) concept given to Jews and Christians; along with the all scripture is given by God (Christians 2 Tim. 3:16-17; Jews similar concept see Joshua 1)?

Answer 5

not many times. you're able to evaluate who's making up the specific rules. rules could nicely be written against any group in society. no remember how they behave. in the U. S. case in point, on an huge-unfold basis just about, rules are handed completely against their very own shape. case in point, the Bible supplies 2 easy orders from our chief, Jesus Christ at Matthew 28:19-20, Acts 20:20 and John13:34-35. the U. S. shape ensures no organisation of a state faith nor denial of the prepare of non-public non secular practices. merely take John 13:34-35 case in point. "34 i'm supplying you with a clean commandment, which you like one yet another; merely as I even have enjoyed YOU, which you moreover mght love one yet another. 35 via this all will understand which you're my disciples, in case you have love between yourselves.” In sensible words this forbids doing something that would harm a non secular brother or sister. As maximum each faith is represented in only about each united states on earth, this forbids taking any area in any wars, racism, nationalism nor tribalism. yet there are countless worldwide places besides to the U. S. who've made rules ordering militia provider. different rules prejudice against specific communities or tribes. The spirit of nationalism is going against one united states over yet another. All of those rules then are against their very own united states's shape and extra importantly against God's rules. the perfect attitude for a real Christian is like state as against federal rules. We view God's rules as larger than human rules. merely as federal rules are above state rules. If and whilst it is composed of a call, the genuine Christian could obey God's rules over any human regulation.

Answer 6

Yes, I have looked into these things you presented. That is why I am a Seventh Day Adventist. However, the Holy days that JESUS kept were shadows that spoke of HIM and HIS ministry.

GOD bless

Answer 7

1. Not always. Mostly not but I do have a high degree conscience.
2. Nope.
3. Nope.
4. Don't know, don't care.
5. Sorta.

Answer 8

Keeping all those little rules and regulations doesn't mean you're Christian.

Jesus said: One commandment I give to you: Love one another.

If what they're doing is loving, then they are Christians. If it promotes hate and separation, like the fundamentalists, then they are NOT Christian.

Pretty simple.

Answer 9

I don't keep "holy days" because the NT says there is no such thing.

And I won't go to your false prophet website either.

Answer 10

Yes indeed I am a Christian.
