If you are narrow minded, leave the thread now. This thread is certainly open for discussion. But, if your sole purpose is to discredit something without having experienced it first-hand, then you're in the wrong forum.

1st off, Jesus never meant for Christianity to be a religion. During his life and ministry, Jesus was as much against organized religion as most of you all seem to be today. The reason he had such disdain for organized religion was because of the immense hyprocrisy that seemed to define it. Jesus challenged the teaching of the religious leaders of his time. And, he admonished people to question the traditions that had been passed down "in the name of religion."

Secondly, Jesus intended for Christianity to be a relationship. What he taught was so avant garde for his time, they cricified him. Jesus basically destroyed the common view of the day, legalism, and introduced a new philosophy, grace. Legalism is the view that you earn your place, your salvation, your rewards from good works and being a good person. Jesus taught that NO ONE was good and worthy to receive blessings and salvation from God. In the book of Ephesians, the apostle Paul writes that "salvation is not from works, lest any man boast." That means that God meant for salvation to be a free gift, one that He was at liberty to extend to whom he wanted, when he wanted.

Thirdly, being a Christian is not unlike being in a relationship with a girl/guy. In any relationship, you want to do things to please the person you're with. That doesn't mean you're going to be perfect, but your attitude is one of commitment to them. It's the same with God. God knows that we're going to err. But, when we come to him sincerely and honestly in repentance, he forgives us and even forgets our sins. That's right! God FORGETS our sins (meaning he doesn't hold them against us any longer). This view is where the term "personal walk" comes from. You wouldn't infringe upon someone else's marriage. Therefore, you wouldn't suggest to someone what God has/is/will do for another individual in their "relationship" with Him.


I feel that many people, including some on this site, have misconceptions about Christianity. They were taught so many false things growing up, it's difficult to distinguish the truth now. I encourage everyone to begin to separate MANMADE tradition from GOD-ORDAINED word. Everything you were told growing up isn't what God wants you to believe. Study the scripture for yourself. Question everything you're taught. But, one thing is for sure. Everything will crumble and pass away in this world EXCEPT the word of God. It is sure. It is real. It is the very thing that created everything in existence.

Let God be true and every man a liar.

Co sign all of the Q's statements......... wit the addition of.......


The sabbath!!........ this is a very important part of the faith to every believer ... and should be studied in depth. Because when you begin to study the bible further... and get to prophecy and Daniel and Revalation.... you will find that the False Sabbath is one of the Marks of the Beast...


Saturday is the Sabbath that Jesus kept... and under no authority from Heaven should it have ever been changed.

i shed this light on my fellow belivers because, it is Important to know what day the sabbath is! and what its all about.


6 days thou shalt labor... the 7th is the sabbath.......

in 6 days our world was made... and the seventh the lord Created the Sabbath...

keep that in mind... discuss this with your pastors... and if need be... get at me ... and i'll be more than happy to supply scripture to back my claims.


Keep dropin Knowledge on em Q....


and GOD bless us all

I used to be a christian.

Untill I realised how much of a crock of shit it was... I got massive respect for jesus and I know that what he was doing and saying was 100% on the money..

But the religion set up as his legacy are full of liars and fools..

As I've said in the past... I am a spiritual man..

But I'm not a sheep being lead around in a herd by pseudo interlectual preachers who actually buy into the bullshit side of christianity.

I also was a christian until a few years ago.

Thats not to say the information in the christian bible is all false. Its a historical document. It is sad that it is considered solely a christian document though...

I think religion is pretty fucked. All you need to be a christian is a relationship with God and a trusting in Jesus. Who the fuck is a priest? Just another person like you or me. I understand that he wants to spread the message, but often priests are fools, just like a lot of "christians."

And fuck church. Church used to be a group of people. Now its a building. Do you really think God cares AT ALL about stain glass windows, golden cups, silverware, flowers, crosses, tablecloths, organs... of course not. If anything he would be against all that shit because it takes away from the message.

Im not even sure what I believe, but I AM spiritual, and I am open minded... so yeah. If I ever was a christian, I wouldnt fit the stereotype at all.
