How many of you are actually Christians?

[MizzLSD]

When you say "All the bible" do you mean Old and New Testament or just the New Testament.

Isn't the underlying moral of the Old Testament "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" and the moral of the New Testament "Turn the other cheek"?

And Christianity was "born" in the "New Testament" and the Old Testament is the story of Judaism?

I am obviously no expert, having not read the Bible, well not for spiritual use more social and educational.

MannyAnalogue,
No, I wasnt specifically talking to you.
MizzLSD,
"And Christianity was "born" in the "New Testament" and the Old Testament is the story of Judaism?"

Christianity is from the New testament because once Jesus gave his life away for our sins by Dieing on the Cross he became the *new*way for Salvation for people seeking the way towards his father.

In the past people would sacrifice animals as a way to cleanse their spirit from the Evil that every man has within him.
If you even have 1 neg. thought in your head you could be sinning, & the only way to cleanse yourself is through Jesus CHrist. This is taught in the New Testament.
So yes, I am speaking from New testament because thats when salvation was created by Jesus himself.

I try not to pay attention to other peoples "Sayings" because people can very easily Distort the TRUTH. You have to be very careful when someone Quotes scripture & check for yourself that they havent "REARRANGED" or "Mistranslated" the Scripture for their own personal liking.

Im not trying to offend anyone, but I wont allow someone to Twist the truth of what JESUS Quoted either.

Peace!

Hi everyone,
I understand what your saying.Everyone has the right to decide what they want to believe in.I understand that if they dont want to listen then you shouldnt pressure them.Its just a matter if you want to listen, then listen and if you dont then forget it.So its your decision if you want to listen to what i have to say or not.

In the bible psalm 115:16 mentions " 16)As regards the heavens, to Jehovah the heavens belong,But the earth he has given to the sons of men.
(Therefore, why would people go to heaven if Jehovah created the earth for man.I understand that there are chosen ones who are ressurected after they die and go to heaven.It is 144,000 chosen ones, who will be co rulers helping jesus rule gods kingdom.The 144,000 are the ones that are ressurected when they die and go to heaven.Revelation 14:1-3 mentions:1 And I saw, and, look! the Lamb standing upon the Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand having his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a sound out of heaven as the sound of many waters and as the sound of loud thunder; and the sound that I heard was as of singers who accompany themselves on the harp playing on their harps. 3 And they are singing as if a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders; and no one was able to master that song but the hundred and forty-four thousand, who have been bought from the earth".
(However, the people who are not the 144,000 chosen ones when they die they will simply just be dead.But they will remain in gods memory.)
5 For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten".(Ecclesiastes 9:5)
Psalm 146:4 "mentions His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground;
In that day his thoughts do perish."
(However the people who are dead, the ones who didnt have a chance to know god and the good people will be ressurected after armageddon.)
john 5:28, 29 mentions: 28) Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29)and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment."
Psalm 37:29 also mentions:The righteous themselves will possess the earth,
And they will reside forever upon it

I believe that labeling someone does not dictate that they are which you have labeled. I believe in the creator of the universe and in love which is the core of our existence. I believe that GOD is in all things for everything is included in our great and vast universe. Just because someone calls themselves a christian that is no basis for me to accept them as a good person or of a certain moral....I would have to experience their behavior towards me and mankind before I would draw a conclusion on who they were despite their title. ACTIONS SPEAK LOUNDER THAN WORDS AND TITLES! Don't be fooled by the labels we carry for one another it is just another mechanism of division, dillusion, and destruction.

I am a Christian, no doubt about it!
