BrotherAtArms said:Ok, a definition on love, I will use the greek word for the sake of it being ONE word.
Agape.
It means Unconditional Love.
Don't love because someone gave you something, did something for you, just love them.
There are other loves too, philo (brotherly) and arias (physical).
So Christian best described in one word is a greek word. Agape.
tattedsaint said:well i feel for ya. if your going to rely on human beings to show you real Christianity, have fun in the faith
I read the bible, I form my own opinions, but most importantly I try to keep an open mind
i only say Christianity is love because of Christ and what He did(meaning beyond His death, but we'll include that as well if need be)
I agree but that is what a perfect christianity religion would be, its not that I disagree with you, just trying to be realistic
the part of human beings that come into it for me is, i also see how God reaches beyond our exclusive little club of Christianity, and see other major leaders of other religions do the same thing of loving their neighbors as themselves, and showing the fruits of the Spirit.
Showing love for your neigbor is the big message though
so those human beings that say, "I am a Christian" have all the deep theological stuff in their head, but can't obey simple commands, i'll love them as best as i can, and scratch them off as some definition of what it is to be christ-like.
I just don't think about it lol
anyways, i didn't mean to get the thread detered. if you want to strikerchris, please feel free to pm me with your next response so we don't detere from the OP.God Bless!

Bon said:NO!
Yahshua is the only way...
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
Christianity is a name which has become tainted with pagan traditions.
I do not consider myself to be called a Christian. Christianity, and all of it's man-made additions is NOT the way to YHWH.
A right relationship with YHWH, based on the scriptures is what a believer sould seek and strive for, NOT Christianity.
I could be called a follower of "the way", a "believer", a "brother", a "saint", or a "disciple" .....and be a follower of Yahshua.
Revelation 14:12
Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
There are more than a dozen references to "SAINTS" in Revelation......Why not "CHRISTIANS"?

But Christianity IS the only way. It is above all others.
BrotherAtArms said:Chrisitanity isn't what we made it in early centuries or today's centuries, it is what the Bible says it is, the Bible being the Word of God. (Yes it was written by the hands of men, but men who were in touch with God Himself)
Humans don't decide, God does.
