Frankly, I thought that you were a Christian until I read your profile.
Christians also follow the Ten Commandments that are taught in the Old Testament (The Torah). Your qualities as a kind answerer on Yahoo Answers and your statements on some things about the Lord kind of made me assume that you were Christian. Additionally, I guess it's because there are fewer Jews than Christians.

Why do you assume that people in this forum automatically assume that because you are religious that you are a christian?

Those that do, do so because nearly 9 out of 10 religious people in the US are Christian..
Your status as a non-Christian is a matter of debate among the Jews, but you knew that...

I easily have had long religious debates with somebody with a genius IQ. definite, this is achievable to be a genius and nonetheless be a Christian. even nevertheless, I discovered that he in basic terms had under no circumstances asked himself the marvelous questions. He'd poured over the pre-spoke back questions from his church and study CS Lewis, the main logical Christian author of modern-day historic previous. yet, he had under no circumstances considered questions that I evaluate basic. He understood the thought of the recent-Age "ocean of oneness" the place we are all in basic terms waves, and thought it became retarded. How could absolutely everyone be a widespread human and additionally be one with god, he'd ask? I spoke of he already believes that, different than he thinks it purely applies to Jesus, and his head went spinning for truly a on a similar time as.

Because they confuse spiritual matters with rituals and practices.
If you had a time machine and were able to transport a present day mechanical engineer who happened to be an atheist back in time to let us say 200 yrs.
Assuming that this engineer began applying his present day knowledge in that lesser technically advanced setting, not only would this person become wealthy but some would claim this person to be a prophet and create a cult following.

I don't assume that. You are the one assuming that we assume that because you are religious that you are a christian. Religiosity is not the mark of a Christian according to the bible: "They will know that you are my disciples; if you love one another." Being a christian is being like Christ who was Godly, not being religious like that of pharisees.

Good question. Why do you assume that I assume that you are Christian? Besides, Christianity is not a religion, it is a relationship with Jesus who is the Messiah. The Savior and the only way to heaven.
