Logically, I don't know what comes from God or man. It's something I will discuss with God upon judgement.

Then how do you know you're truly acknowledging God? And if you're not, then can you profess Christ? (I think your icon changed...)

You are proving my point exactly. All many christians want to do is fight over who believes what and why. I don't need to explain nor justify my beliefs to man.

I'm confused. Your profile says you're not a Christian, but you have a cross indicating that you are. Guess it's your business, but what gives?

I follow Christ but I don't believe in the organized religion( christianity).I don't participate in church gathers and such. When I first joined this site I taught because I wasn't orthodox in my views that it wouldn't be accept by ALL but I soon learned their are many liberal christians on here besides myself.

Well, if you believe the Bible is the word of God, then you can see that God has established His church. But if you don't, it's really, really important to think it through carefully. God doesn't let us make our own doctrines; what is, is. And debating with man can help you find the truth if that's what you're looking for. Best wishes to you in your pursuit.

I don't think of christianity as an 'organized religion'. I'm a christian, and I don't follow some big organized group that does everything together. I follow and believe in what GOD says. Sure, I go to church every Sunday, but even my pastor has some slightly different beliefs as do some of the others in my church. We all interpret different parts of God's word differently, and although we all believe the same basic stuff (Jesus died for our sins, and through him is the only way to get to heaven etc. etc), that doesn't make us organized. I'm not trying to argue with you, I'm saying that being a christian doesn't mean we're part of an organized religion. It's simply a personal statement saying that you believe wholly in God, and what his word (the bible) teaches, that he died for you on the cross, and that He (Jesus) is the ONLY way to get to heaven. Organized religion has little to do with it.

God Bless,
Mike
