As for if I think spreading christianity is important. Sure I do. I think every person in the world should have the oportunity to learn what christianity is at least and then they can choose for themselves if they think it is true.
If you are say that every christian must believe absolutely every christian doctorine then you might as well count half of the christian population of world out! Same goes for any of the branches of christianity.
Christianity and the bible clearly don't support the belief of reincarnation. But yet he still considers himself a christian and in a survey and statistic he would be numbered as one. That is the whole point.
When refering to major branches of christianity it has nothing to do with size or membership of the christian church but the fundamental differences in christian doctorine and their origins.
...puts Catholicism v.s. Mormonism as the two major christian theologies. Mormonism is clearly a christian religion in that they believe the bible and in Christ.
think this 'customizing' of a religious belief happens often in christianity as well. People often will pick and choose what parts of a christian belief system they agree with and the parts they don't.
I have a friend who is christian who believes in reincarnation which is a Hindu belief and contrary to christian doctorine. That might make him a Christian-hindu??
Christianity, which is the largest religion on earth
And as someone else mentioned it would also become a region where christianity could be introduced and taught to a people that have been kept 'dumb' and in the dark by their dictator/terroristic goverments for so long.
I think what we are seeing is the beginning of Islam vs. christianity again which is going to involve a lot of everyone.
There even christian muslims. Those who are Islamic and understand and truly follow the faith are by their very religion against christians and want them destroyed.
First LOL, let me say your responses to the first half of the post on christianity and US gov. looks like it could have came right from here http://www.nobeliefs.com
Heck Arbiter, he sounds like a better christian than half of the christians today!!
And where did he get this idea of a God? He got it from the influences in his life from christianity my friend.
His was christianity.
I think it possibly could have been wrote different but maybe it wouldn't have got supported by other christians which would also support my points about politics and religion.
Even some of the other founding fathers who proclaimed themselves as diests it's likely formulated their beliefs from christianity.
Then there were the other strong christians like Washington who influenced many others.
Any christian who reads this article is laughing his head off because it's obvious this guy know absolutely nothing about "the rapture' at all including what it means and the time frame.
29!
And that's excluding the the number of times you said "christian/ity" in the thread Anti-Gay Marriage Protest Coming to a Town Near You(which was deleted). And that's thread where you really went wild! So how many times do you think you said it there? It's obvious it was more than 29. So let's just say you said it 40 on that thread, just for fun. So the total gives us 69. Good number! And you have 46 posts. So that means you say "christian/ity" 1.5 per post. I can go on with different numbers. But I think I had my fun for tonight.
