I'm very clueless right now, I'm told I'm not a true christian for my beliefs.
here they are
1. I don't believe the bible is 100%
The Catholic understanding of the bible does not entail a need to belief in it as necessarily a correct depiction of history or science, but instead the emphasis is on it inerrancy in regard to the intepretation that the Church gives to it.
2. I don't believe in the rapture.
Nor do Catholics.
3. I believe in Jesus and GOD
Indispensable for anyone who would call themselves Christians.
I've hear differing opinions By Christians regarding the nature of ghosts, or in regard to their very existence.
Wheter this is a correct, or an incorrect belief, however, it need not be a grounds for someone to be denied a belief in Christ.
5. I believe in reincarnation
Reincarnation is an interesting topic with respect to early Christians. There was some early Christian belief in reincarnation, that without a definitive statment in the Gospel of John, a few of the synoptic gospels may seem to suggest that John the Baptist was the reincarnation of Elijah.
Certainly, this is not the orthodox Christian belief, though, and it is time, had more to do with the gnostic members of the Christian community.
6. I don't believe in condeming people
Indeed.
7. I don't believe anyone goes to hell but the truly wicked.
Tthere are some Christian universalists, who even believe that all will eventually be saved. (this by the way, goes against the policy of CF in regards to posting in Christian-only sections)
It is well within the range of Catholic belief to pray that the population of hell may ultimately be 0.
8. I believe the only sin is hurting others or yourself
Sin above all is a breach in our relationship with God. The fruits of sin are the harming of ourselves and other that becomes inevitable when we become out of step with the only One who is all-good.
The wages of sin being the ultimate hurt, death, is indeed a very Biblical idea.
9. I believe animals have souls.
I know of nowhere in the bible where a definitive statment is made either way.
10. I'm starting to prefer girls over boys(and people think I'm doom to hell for that.)
I prefer girls over boys too.
11.I'm a Harry Potter fan(most christians think it's anti GOD)
Maybe most of the Christians you know think it is anti-God, but most of the Christians I know do not think so.
The only thing that I will add is that an obsession with the occult can on occasion become very unhealthy. The norm though, is that fantasy is fun,and reading books is a good way to spend some of your leisure time.
but some christians say my beliefs are so unbibical that I'm not a christian.
Well, some Christians say the same about my beliefs, but that does not make it true.
Am I truly not a christian?
Well, your beliefs most likely do not always fall on the side of orthodox Christianity. But there is a wide range of Christian belief here at CF, and your views, while undoubtedly more liberal than mine,are certainly nowhere outside the range of what Christianity has become.
Speaking as a Catholic only, I perhaps should not have been so flippant about the question of sexual orientation, for the Catholic Church certainly does make definite statments against sexual behavior that may not fulfill a procreative function. (
Link to some of my opinions on that subject, Post 60).
Even so, in spite of the fact that you may or may not have a propensity to sin in that direction, even the idea that you are a sinner does in now way negate your being a Christian. (If that were the case it would be the population of Heaven that would be approaching 0).
