You are not a Christian if you do not believe in Christ's One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church—the Roman Catholic Church. You are a heretic if you despise the Church.

I encourage you to read the Holy Bible. You need to understand why Saint Peter is the rock upon which Christ built His Church. I prefer the Douay-Rheims translation.

You've read the bible? Good. You must have read that Jesus said "My fathers house has many rooms."

Religion as such is a burden to people imo, with its adherence to rules, regulations, rituals, etc. "Being religious" can make people behave very ugly toward other people of a different religion. Much of what calls itself "Christianity" is just a form of religion. I am thankfully not a religious person.
I am however a Christian. I believe in God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
I think a person can have a relationship, not a religion. There's a difference.
It's not over till it's over.
 
I'm going to sperg a bit. I think that what most of us would call Christianity is nothing more than a bastardized form of the original religion. I actually really like the morality of the early Christian church, mostly the focus on charity, and wish that today's Christians could drop some of the vestigial formalities picked up in the Middle Ages, such as the over reliance on the clergy to produce an orthodoxy. Most of the Christians I know today are what you would call the Christmas and Easter crowd and don't live up to the self-sacrificial values that the early martyrs of the church espoused. Also, I've never met a pastor who has impressed me whatsoever; the ones I've encountered spend so much time preaching the basics or rambling on about nothing in particular that they don't ever talk about more nuanced issues within the religion. This, in my humble opinion, has led to a religion filled with apathetic participants who are only concerned with whether or not they're getting a pleasant afterlife and, as such, abandon the role of the church in the material world. On a related note, I'm also not quite sure how Christians in the states can feel satisfied voting for either of the political parties, they both advocate policies that Christ and the apostles never would have approved of, e.g. the death penalty.
 
I like the Christian aesthetic, but unfortunately Christianity has always been the most pussified of the three Abrahamic religions. If I had to choose, I'd probably prefer we went back to paganism. Islam is great also, but unfortunately its current adherents disgust me. Any religion that allows you to answer a woman's plea for equal rights with a rock to the face can't be all that bad.
 
My big questions are, if it was true how would you know which denomination is the one? and how would you know when god was or wasn't angry?
 
In general people really need to stop reading books written by exceptional individuals thousands of years ago. I mean. The bible is supposed to be the literal word of God and it contradicts itself in some places. Did god just drop the ball on that or forget or something? It's just all so exceptional.
 
Ezekiel 23:20-21 dijo:
There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled.

Two things:

One: - Concerning Christianity versus Islam, there is a sermon series I had the pleasure to have experience with called Race, Religion & Racism. It dealt with the very heavy topics of how the church failed and succeed in various things, what God's view of it is based on the Bible and then topped it off with a long session of dealing with a comparative analysis, a consumer's report if you will, comparing Christianity with Islam. This was before 9/11, and the pastor, Pastor Fred K. C. Price, was extremely thorough getting audio clips and in depth information about the Quran, the Hadith and so forth. There was no way after being exposed to information the general public wouldn't really get until after 9/11 that I would side with mud slimes, ever.

Two: - The God of the Bible won my little self over because there are places in that book where He says to prove Him on stuff. There is also places where He says to remind Him of things He said, so you could plead your case with Him. For a deity, that's so ballsy I figured it was worth a shot. The relationship never let me down yet.

To those considering it, commence throwing of vegetables and such to that wall over there.
Oh wait, that's no wall, that's one of my ex gfs. Never mind....
 
It makes no sense to me to claim that any one church is legitimate and all the others are false. Every denomination is based off of a book that can't be corroborated by anything and is full of nonsensical and contradictory stories; and even if your church followed all the rules like it's supposed to (and no church does) it's ultimately led by a body of fallible humans who are not qualified to educate anyone about the infinite perfection God is claimed to be anyway.
 
Does anyone have an opinion on modern nontrinitarianism? The two major players as far as this subject is concerned seem to be Jehovah's Witnesses (who subscribe to a strictly unitarian theology), and the guys who publish Tomorrow's World (I think they're called "Armstrongists", and they seem to be binitarian in that they deny the divinity of the Holy Spirit).

Obviously Jehovah's Witnesses is the far larger of these two organizations, but upon reading their literature it becomes pretty hard to tell them apart at times. They both have a massive theological focus on eschatology, and an organizational focus on multimedia production and dissemination.

Shit is dope, yo.
 
Liberal Christianity makes zero sense to me, when you read the Bible it is extremely clear what god's stance on LGBT issues is. Irl I lie and say I believe in god just to avoid argument, but if I really believed in god I would be scared because I cant picture a moral god. If there is a god and say the Bible is accurate, then non hetero people are doomed. Also if there is a god then I cant help but think he favors some races over others, because if god exists then he must love the torment that the black races have had to suffer, why does he make them the Job of history (as in the character Job) while Europeans flourished? If anyone thinks this is an autistic or dumb post, instead of just leaving a rating, PLEASE tell me why I am wrong.

The Bible is a complex book composed of many different texts with many different authors, and all of them are products of their times. If you insist on Biblical literalism and infallibility then yes, you run into the issue that you describe. But if you view the texts as creations of human authors which were written in specific contexts, then the Bible becomes a valuable tool for understanding those authors and the sincere religious convictions they felt. Through understanding them, you can learn more about yourself and what God means to you.
I'd advise looking into the theology of John Shelby Spong for a better understanding of what this entails.
