(Wow, little harsh people.. what happened to the "no bashing" rule?)

TheLastKnight, were you asking us what we think will happen to you in "God's eyes" or asking what you would be catagorized as?

[TheLastKnight]

Catagorized.

anyways, what WOULD you think I'd be in God's eyes...?

anyways, I believe that God created the world, and Jesus is the son of God

But, I don't really believe that God put us on this earth for us to praise him...as some christians tell me our purpose.

However, even if that is not the case, it does not matter. I do not contradict god, But I do believe in him. I believe he is there.

Hell, he may be standing right beside me, lol.

and no, I do not believe in many gods, I believe in 1, and his son

My question to TheLastKnight would be how can you call yourself a believer when you don't even follow God? Part of believing God, or a god is some instances, is following the ways of God, or the god in question. I am not necessarily saying you have to go to church or go to religious functions, but you need to do something that shows that you are a believer in God, or the god in question (not meant in your case TheLastKnight).

So believing in this case, is worshipping?

I don't understand your question, explain will ya, fellow clansman?

You'd be a Christian. A non-practicing Christian, but a Christian nonetheless.

As far as Christianity is concerned, belief is all it takes anyway. That's what all the Christians I know tell me, and that's what the pastor tells my family in their church. If you believe in God and that Jesus is your lord and savior, you're saved, and going to heaven.

Almost every kind of religion. And not every religion on earth falls under the classification as Abrahamic monotheism.

Well, that's not why He put us here, based on what I believe. He put us here because He loves us.

But that's like saying that's not why people give you presents on your birthday. They do it out of love, not to be praised. But that doesn't mean they shouldn't receive any thanks for what they did.

well... then again a lot of pastors say things.... but what does the Bible say? You can never just take someone's word for it.. not even mine for what im about to say..... I posted it on another thread but i figure its pretty relevant to this too:

I understand whwat you are saying but eventhough many profess to be Christian, it doesnt mean that they are. Im in class right now so i dont remember the scripture, i'll have to look it up when i go home, but Jesus said there would be those who professed to know him and serve him, but he would say to them that he never knew them... why?

Christianity isnt just a word, its a way of life, and if you constantly practice things that arent Christian, thus the crimes as you stated above then you are not really a chrisitan. Its just like saying "Im a Racer" but if you dont race... and only have have a fast car... does that mean you are a racer? no you simply have a fast car.

Same with Christianity, you might have a set of beliefs, but as James goes on to say: "faith without works is DEAD"

So to really call yourself a "Christian" you must BE Christian, not just CLAIM christianity

The definition of a Chrisitian is that that is outline in the Christian scriptures... my words are not of my own... just what I read in the Bible... even the Bible said that many Believed but did not become one with the faith but continued going on in the dealings of the things before...

I dont care what a secular person has to say about a way they did not start, Jesus' words are recorded, his apostles words are recorded, Gods words are recorded and its the WAY of life that determines if a person is a Christian or not....

I believe in a lot of science, does that make me a scientist?

I believe some of the things muslims say, does that make me a muslim?

From the Christian Scriptures where the set of beliefs are from: James 2: 17 - Thus, too, faith, if it does not have works, is dead in itself

Romans 10: 10 - For with the heart one exercises faith for righteousness, but with the mouth one makes public declaration for salvation.

John 13: 35- By this all will know that YOU are my disciples, if YOU have love among yourselves

Matthew 7: 21- 23 - “Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew YOU! Get away from me, YOU workers of lawlessness.

And thats just a few of the scriptures that point out what a person who IS a christian and who CLAIMS to be a Christian.

Now if Jesus would reject those... Jesus, the one who instituted the Christian faith and congregations in the first century.... if he would reject them as describe above in earlier posts as Christians... I dont care what just any person in secular work says... its not just a belief that makes someone something.

Christianity is a way of life... not just believing.. in the first century, they didnt always call themselves Christians... it was just a group of people who lived their lives in accord with the scriptuers and teachings of Jesus.

Eventually possibly by the year 44 C.E. then the word Christian was first used. Its only mentioned 3 times in the Bible period.
