    Can someone define some stuff for me?

    Haha...I see your point. I was MEANING to say that I don't think that Seeker-Friendly churches ARE watered down. If a church is genuinely seeker-friendly then it is passionate about the lost. (I really did read and comprehend ALL of what you said.) Sorry about the misunderstanding. I...

    Is Christianity any better than other religions?

    This is exactly the point I was trying to make (in WAY too many words...haha). So, my question is, can we drop the religion for the relationship by dropping the title for the reality?

    Is Christianity any better than other religions?

    Wow...that's a great example (the story about the denomination), and I greatly appreciate your opinions.

    One Question: "Why?"

    Is Christianity any better than other religions?

    I think this makes sense, but my only thing that I would like to question is this: Is it okay to attend a Christian church, follow all of the prinicples laid out in the Bible, and essentially "be" a Christian without taking the TITLE of Christian. Is there a separation here, or must we call...

    Very good. Donald Miller is an excellent author and thinker. I appreciate your encouraging response.

    Is Christianity any better than other religions?

    This is a VERY good point. Thank you very much for taking the time to reply. I think that your comment is the first of its kind. (There have been a few other good comments, but I believe that you stated your belief in a very concise, non-offensive, Biblical, intelectual, and sane manner.)...

    Is Christianity any better than other religions?

    What does this have to do with my question? I see the point that one needs to make sure that his decision is made as a result of the Spirit's leadership and not his fleshly desires, but how does this directly point to the issue? I must be sure that I am doing God's will. This makes sense...

    Is Christianity any better than other religions?

    Were we ever called to follow a religion? The very verse that you quoted referred only to Christ. It says, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me." This references no religion but simply the person of Jesus Christ. HE is the only way...

    Is Christianity any better than other religions?

    I see your point, but I am not talking about rejecting Christ. I am talking about a rejection of the religion that has seemed to replace Christ. Does this make sense?

    Is Christianity any better than other religions?

    I appreciate your response. It seems to be a very well-thought-out reply, and it arouses more questions in me. I completely see your point, and I wish you the blessings of God on your future. If a non-believer asked me, I guess that I would have to say that I believe in Christ, but I...

    Is Christianity any better than other religions?

    Are you saying that if someone chooses not to call themselves a "Christian" but believes in God the Father and his Son, Jesus Christ who was crucified, died and was buried. He follows the commandments before him and participates in community with fellow believers, then they are still not a...

    Is Christianity any better than other religions?

    Thank you for recognizing the difference between true Christianity and "Christianity." Your words are encouraging to me.

    Is Christianity any better than other religions?

    Did you read the poll? I believe that this would have clarified your misinterpretation of my query. The point that I am attempting to convey is simply this: declaring oneself to be a Christian does not necessarily declare them to be a Christ-follower or a citizen of the kingdom of God, so is...

    Is Christianity any better than other religions?

    I'm afraid that I need to apologize for using "percentages" to represent the amount of truth in a religion. I was attempting to convey the idea that a majority of the basis for many religions in the world is the same as Christianity. For instance, Buddhism relies heavily on a Mystic Law...
