Paula and dogcombat,
Thanks for posting. Paula you have helped me see that there are some positive connotations to the word Christain. Thanks.
Sincerely,

When asked, I simply say I am "Being conformed" I never tell anyone what I am because most who know me have allready formed their opinions anyway. I found it interesting that Jesus was the same way. "Who do YOU say that I am. Not a single person had OBJECTION against Jesus while he was performing miracles and feeding the hungry, but when he TOLD THEM who he was, that being the "Living Son of God" then they wanted to kill him, and they did.
My point is, people in all honesty dont care what you do or what you think.... It's when you TELL them who you are is when the JUDGMENT starts.
Love in Christ

You are so right, I never noticed that fact even tho I did notice the ID issue was the problem. While he was just healing, all was okie dokie. Making food...ok, still the waters....ok, make some wine out of water....double ok, heal the sick and raise the dead....neat trick, do it again. Claim to be son of God, whoa buddy that's blasphemy, just who do you think you are? BTW before you get crucified could you heal my Aunt Edna who has the croup? Thanks.

I've heard other believers or followers of Christ express disdain towards the term 'Christian'. I understand the term Christian to mean 'Christ-ones'...I don't have a problem with that. It communicates WHO I belong to. Because the world has the idea that a Christian is an uptight, intolerant, religious person really makes no difference to me. In essence, the WHOLE WORLD are 'Christ-ones'...they ALL BELONG TO HIM, they just don't know it yet!

I have NO problem with people who consider themselves Christians. I have No problems with people who consider themselves plumbers,electricians,teachers,just back from the moon scientist,drug addicts,pimps, whatever, and whoever you want to be is OK with me.
Love in Christ
