What It Means To Be A Christian

What It Means to Be a Christian
1 Pet. 2:21.
The churches are full of half-believers of a casual creed. Why is having a religion that satisfies the worshipper no assurance that it is right worship ?
(Mark 7:9) You skill fully disregard the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition

[Bobbisox1]

It means to be kind to others , respect others,help others
I don't need to go to church to do any of the above

Oh I I don't like those who preach either !

[jakep]

^^^ what Bobbi said...

[andy-hughes]

How do you know who are 'half believers'?

As usual, you take the moral high ground - if people don't see religion as you do, they don't count.

Where do you learn such an arrogant sanctimonious way of looking down on your fellow human beings?

Not from the teachings of your god - he would be very disappointed by your spiteful arrogance, it's not what he wants, he loves everyone, it's you that has a problem.

//he [God] loves everyone//

I almost said ‘God knows where that idea came from’, but on second thoughts I bet he doesn’t.

[mibn2cweus]

If 'God' knows half of what those who claim 'He' does then I can see why they would believe they should be on their knees begging for 'His' mercy.

What it means to be a Christian depends on whose new testament theology you chose to believe.
The Gospel writers, St paul, unknown epistle writers etc!!
All had different theologies...

[nailit]

As did those writers whose writings wernt voted into the new testament.

[fiveleaves]

You mean to be born again. By that I mean repenting of your sins and accepting Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, and thereby receiving the gift of eternal life.
From then on one must live as a disciple of Jesus.
There is a lot more I could say but I want to keep things simple

[douglas9401]

It may mean cutting and pasting extracts from an ancient book of fables and ghost stories then passing it off as wisdom.

[naomi24]

mibs, very good, :o)

fiveleaves, some of your posts give the impression that you're far from being a disciple of Jesus.

[paddywak]

I think Bobbi hits the nail on the head,try not to hurt people and and help when you can and you won't go far wrong in life.

Been kind, respectful and helpful arn't Christian ideals. They are human ideals.

he loves everyone ????????
/// GOD ANGRY AGAINST THEM God was angry with them and punished them severely for their idolatry. Time and again Israel fell away to idol worship, EXODUS .32.10 and I will exterminate them in my burning anger Acts 7 .51
MATTHEW 22.37 He said to him: “‘You must love GOD your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole MIND

[HansUrbancka]

locusts....Unless, you and other so called 'believers' are able to prove the existence of God, it is pointless to accept what you say as being anything other than make believe; just like Fairies and Father Christmas.

Locusts, //You must love GOD //

How can anyone love something so wholly monstrous? How?

[brainiac]

I'm with Stephen Fry on this:

[locusts]

naomi 24 /23:25 Thu 12th Nov 2020 /How can anyone love something so wholly monstrous? How?
// first put yourself I in god place ask yourself what would a loving parents do to protect their child, in the same way {GOD} protects his own children – the Israelites was a chosen race {children } most of the other people was UN be levers { ungodly }

[SparklyKid]

God does not exist, only in the imagination of the deluded.

Stephen fry is quite correct.

[iluvmargie]

I know a woman who calls herself a Christian, she is the most self centred, unkind and uncaring woman I have ever had the misfortune to meet. She talks the talk, but doesn't walk the walk!! Can't stand her.

[agchristie]

ILM,the world is full of hypocrites...
