God never created any Christians. Christianity is just another religion with similarities and differences to others. The religion you choose to follow if at all is largely dependant upon the society you were brought up in.
Interesting. What is Christianity similar to?
The majority (83%) of US are "Christian!"
What "society were u "brought up in?"
Yes, what "religion(s)" COPIED fm "The Gospel of Christ?"
Even most who proclaim "Christianity" don't follow!
ITT: Norine believes the Gospels were the first religious texts ever written, despite the earliest ones being written around 90 AD.
You realize the Sumerians wrote their religious texts thousands of years before Hebrews were even a thing, right?
Getit there are people that complete things to the highest degree, and in education they are called Doctors, they live their profession throughout their life. And experience things others may never,
Being a Christian can also reach degrees unknown.
God didn't create Christians; men did, by creating Christianity. All religions are created by man.
As for who created 'the others": speaking for myself, my parents created me.
LV: Amen! The term "Christian" was originally used (derogatorily) to define "Followers of Christ."
Yes, it came from "men" as did "The Trinity!"
Isaiah 45:7!
Well God created all of those "others" too. They just don't know it. That's why missionaries and other proselytizers have to work tirelessly to get these other people to understand that they have made a mistake...and that they need to correct it before it's too late!
Sometimes we have to torture people or even go to war with them, because they are blind to the truth. It's absolutely worth it, because we do it out of love. ei, we love them so much that we will do anything to keep them from going to hell.
There is NO OTHER GOD, except Jehovah...who sent his son to sacrifice himself for us, so that we may be saved. Its important that people all over the globe know this, lest they risk the ultimate torment...for eternity.
...Well...at least that's the story I was told. LOL!
Facetious are we? If u can thk pass today & see urself lying on ur death bed, then what? It's time for TRUTH! Going into the "unknown?" Relying on self? What? Scary thought if w/o GOD! LOL about that!
Norine you are only a Christian because you were born in the West. Had you been born in Iran you would be a Muslim and telling Christians they are going to hell.
Norine: Why would I want to spend time thinking about dying? I'm not a member of any death cults..like Christians, who obsess over death and long DEAD saviors. btw been on death bed B4. Your threats have no power here..NONE. I'm too busy with living
Hell is the grave. When your dead your dead. That is the eternal torment. To be no more forever and ever. The hell the churches teach is a false doctrine created as a club to keep you in line and control you. They are merchandising there followers
Christians are fools to any mind who don't understand the truth, because they called lie as truth. A christian has a possession that others don't have.
Rosualdo: Which truth is that? There are 38,000 different denominations of Christianity. Thus, it would seem that Christians possess something other than TRUTH. Indicating a propensity to deny reality...because of irrational fear.
Christianity is a brand with different colors and size. Others made a counterfeit.
If different denominations within the same religion can't even agree with each other, I find it hilarious how anyone thinks they have the right to call a different religion fake that has the same exact issues.
Link from your point of view as an example , their are many languages, say Asian , if you do not speak it or can reconize the words and sounds this is foreign to you. Religion is a word but is more, it can be foreign to those who do not understan
K&T: In others words u are pretending that Christians know some secret that the rest of us are just not aware of. Must be a special kind of feeling, although false. I used to be a Christian, and I can assure u, I knew nothing more than any others
Getit example , there are doctors in many fields , and skills, a animal doctor would be different from a human doctor.
A zoo doctor would know things that a human doctor would not know.Christian language and it application is more serious then done
So what? Believers still have no idea what they are talking about, or who even wrote that fraudulent fairy tale. U cant compare yourself to Physicians...who actual studied REALITY based medical science..based upon REALITY based research/experiments
The original bible allegedly written by God was at a time when there were no Christians, and Christians didn't appear until the second bible.
Christians try to connect the two bibles by using the Trinity. But the God of the first bible is nothing like Jesus in the second bible.
The Jews that were supposedly involved in both bibles, chose not to follow Jesus.
Neither bible was written by the hand of a deity, and no one ever saw the God of the first bible. Neither bible was written contemporaneously with the events depicted in them. But both bibles were written by mere mortals.
God created everyone, and gave everyone free will. He created ALL living things but humans are special and set apart from the animal world, and this includes those "early humans" and ape-people. If we evolved from apes, why are there still apes here today?
Lol hilarious. Evolution doesn't work that way. If protestantism evolved from catholicism (and it did) then why are there still catholics? If Spanish evolved from Latin, why is there still Latin? Get it?
Changing languages and religion are choices people can make. People can't really choose to alter their physical make-up and appearance, unless they have laboratories and scientists, which they didn't thousands of years ago.
Lolita - evolution doesn't mean that one species entirely changes to another and wipes out the original. We share the majority of our DNA with chimps, but have evolved over time to be different - difficult to explain in a comment space. Google it.
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth
Link the point is with that thought we can share the experience of traveling but we can envite one to understand or travel as well, but you decide, meantime we are closer to the destination we reached out for.
Really christian means to follow Jesus orJesus followers,
The point is you make the decision to follow , no one
Forces or enforces you to be a Christian .
Just like no can make you love some one you either want to or you don't.
getit there is more then one type of fear, fear of dread and you avoid the problem that causes fear. Then the other is fear
That's is based on love you have for your family your mate
You fear to hurt who you love and care about, God is loved .
K&T: I still fail to understand how u continually post under the wrong answer. Why is it that no one else has this problem? Are u really paying close attention to what u are doing? Please pray that God helps u with this. And stop the Strawman fal
Getit are you answering me, yes you are replying to my comment you are not lost not confused, the point is you got it!
Strawman.is a term you use and understand, I do not so
It makes sense to you , it does not to me.
We are now getting somewhere
When there is a term or concept that is not understood, the intelligent approach is to research that term or concept...to grasp the understanding. Failure to do so suggest an irrational approach to discussion...meaning one cant be taken seriously.
getit you are correct , this is so true we should reseach things we do not understand, have you reseach the things I posted to you as well, If you can explain to me what I have been saying I will give you the same consideration, deal or no deal .
Cop out answer? Satan did.
...another cop out answer? God created everyone with free will, meaning you can choose whether or not to be Christian. Oddly enough, if you listen to the more hard core Christians, people are punished for using the free will god gave them to not believe in his purported existence, which is backed by nothing other than an ancient book that contradicts itself, literal nutjobs, by people who are either too closed minded to step out their comfort zone, are brainwashed, or are simply comfortable believing in something they know they can't prove.
I personally like the last group of people the most, much easier to have conversations with.
The difference in the purpose to be a Christian is a destination that you travel to reach, we are not christians because of you, nore do we live our lives based on rather people want to travel the road we are on. But we are close to the Journeys end
Was that last part more end of the world talk? There's only so many times people can get that wrong and still be taken seriously.
Like, only once...
Do you travel to come to a dead end! No you do not
So you misunderstand.
But no need to say more if that is what you already assume and is wrong.
Kiss, you literally make no sense. I sincerely hope its just a language barrier, otherwise I have to assume you are borderline insane.
Link lol! That's funny but if you feel that way , there is nothing that I can say to change your asumpion.
Peace to you.
Link, is someone insane because you disagree with them? Why not ask Kiss for clarification rather than insulting her?
Thank you Lolita Monroe , you are very kind in your speech.

I just read a post from someone stating that Christianity is based on the Bible which stands to reason, "If Christianity is based off the bible then that means it would have never come to furition since the book would never have been written because no Christian would have existed before...

Hi I would like to know, please, if any Christian members of this community accept evolutionary theory as true; or if anyone knows any Christians, who believe that evolution is true?Thanks

Simple question, why are so many members of the 'Christian Right' fiercely opposed to fighting global warming, or pretty much any other potential eco-friendly measures? If God created this world, surely we should strive look after it properly?

No matter what way you look at it.If God created life, then Satan the devil was born through God's creation, this makes GOD responsible for Satan's existence. So blame GOD for all things bad, instead of just shouting hallelujah and praising him or her for typical life results.If God did create...
