CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
With These Beliefs is it Possible to be a Christian?

I suppose let's start with: Bible is very clear that somebody who practices sin is not a Christian.
Don't we all sin? Where does the bible even mention Christians? Are you saying I can't be a Christian if I've sinned?

The Bible makes a distinction between a person who sins and repents because he understands that he has transgressed God's laws and is convicted for it, and a person who practices sin, that is, a person who lives in an ongoing pattern of unrepentant sin.
I'm not really sure what you mean by "where does the Bible mention Christians". The whole New Testament is written to Christians.

Your beliefs sound like they are more compatible with Deism. The basic tenet of Deism is that God created and started the universe and then left it to its own devices. It's not a position I hold, but I though you might like to know there is a label for your particular beliefs.
Now, the question is--do you want to learn more about Christianity or are you hoping we'll convince you of the rightness of it? I'm not asking to be snarky. I'm sincerely interested.
