Lets say I only want to believe what half the bible says. I want to say cirtain things the bible says are sins are not and OK acording to society. Am I decived beliving such things?
Is a true christan one that whole heartly accept Christ and his teachings. I want do deny his words but accept him. Do I deny Jesus by not accepting his teachings?

You're either in wholeheartedly or your not.....
There is no gray area in Christianity....
It's either black or white......the whole book or none of it.
By denying even a minute portion of it, you would be denying all of it as absolute truth.

Christians have always understood the Bible from within a specific traditional paradigm. Hyper-dispensationalists, for example, maintain that Christians should not accept a single thing that Jesus said, or anything that appears before the day of Pentecost.

John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
As u can see; the Word (big W for a reason) was GOD! Therefore u can not love 1/2 of Him and reject the other 1/2.
James 1:8
A double minded man [is] unstable in all his ways.
Jos 24:15
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that [were] on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
U gotta make up ur mind! HE is a complete GOD! Oh Thomas, y do u doubt HIS power.... try HIM completly!

I'm afraid, Cool Dude that its not possible to profess to be anything halfway. No, you cant be half a Christian.
As my father in law would say, when my mother in law asked if he wanted his sandwich cut in half, "I don't want half of nothin'".
The Bible says an unstable man (one who is uncommitted) is unstable in ALL his ways. The Bible also says we are not to add or take away anything from what is written.
Another reading of the Bible states that some men who were not believers attempted to cast out demons in Jesus' name. The demons spoke up and said, "Jesus we know, Paul we know, but who are you?
Hope that answers for ya.

Is there such thing as a half Christan? YES!!!
This is what Christ said about them,
15I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked

might one be seen a Christian in the event that they only have confidence and prepare a million/2 of the middle tenets of Christianity ? I doubt it. might one be seen a Wiccan in the event that they only have confidence and prepare a million/2 of the middle tenets of Wicca? No. It appears like they may be following a clean faith--which isn't a bad difficulty, even nonetheless it would be neither Christianity nor Wicca. between the main modifications is that Wicca is a polytheistic (per hazard duotheistic?) faith and Christianity forbids worshiping extra suitable than one deity. How can one stay unswerving to the two on the comparable time?

Your life is yours to do with as you wish. I would like to point out a bit of scripture though.
Rev 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
Rev 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
I personally would not suggest you sit on the fence to long.
Hope that helps †

Ether you are for God or against Him. If you are Half sure, you better round it up and get on board, Because God won't round it up, He will round down.
