Being a Christian is bad?

(1/15) > >>

Roy Coates:
I thought to claim oneself to be a Christian meant that you followed Christ Jesus. I read here and there on the forum that some do not consider themselves to be "Christian" Now I do believe that "Christianity" has become perverse and I assume this is the reason. However if there is additional information that will help enlighten please pass it on.

UncleBeau:
This is from a personal standpoint:
If I am to "call" myself a christian, I'm subject to christian doctrines and those christians that wish to discuss Scripture with me will take that into consideration (that I believe in the major doctrines that they do, which i don't and niether do the Scriptures). If I were to call myself a Nazi, you would automatically assume I hate the jews. If I were a vegetarian, you'd naturally assume I don't eat meat. Christian doctrines don't agree with Scripture whatsoever, and so, I'm not a part of that "group", just like I'm not an athiest. If I could be so bold to say that those of us here with like minds that study the Word of God, are looking forward to being a part of God's new family, along with the rest of the human race. You don't need to "call" yourself anything for that; there's no requirement that you should be a part of a certain group, save God's chosen elect, which we all strive for unto the end.

Just a side note, my spellchecker insists that I capitalize "christian".

Kitt:
This is also a personal opinion on my part.  I agree with Beau that to go by the label of Christian implies that one agrees with that religion's doctrines and beliefs.  When people ask me, I tell them that I am a born again believer in Yeshua the Messiah and give praise to his Father Yahveh.  People will then say to me that I am a Christian and I tell them no I am not and why.  After all they invited me to speak the Gospel with their question.

Use any opening that the Spirit of the Father Yahveh gives you to speak the Good News Gospel.

Roy Coates:
I agree. Christians have many different beliefs. When boiled down you get to one common denominator, JESUS. I thought this was the base, the building block of everything.

UncleBeau:
Jesus' word is Truth and his Father's word is Truth. They are one. They agree. His word is NOT, however, a building block for "many different beliefs".
