If i say am christian..

[Man of Faith]

will you be agree ? if yes than its OK , If No, Than why ?

I normally take peoples word for it but sometimes I ask their testimony on how they become a Christian or were saved. Or I will ask them if they died today do they know where they would spend eternity, then ask them why. A few probing questions and five minutes and I would know if I should accept whether you were a Christian or not.

 

[Man of Faith]

You mean.. one christain can be a good and bad person too ?

All Christians are bad, that is why they became a Christian because they recognized they were bad and needed redemption.

John 13:34-35
Jesus said:

34 “I give you a new command: Love one another. Just as I have loved you, you must also love one another. 35 By this all people will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
​

True, but that isn't how someone becomes a Christian, that is the result of being a Christian.

Alright by me, Brother.


DO you want to call yourself a Christian?

True, but that isn't how someone becomes a Christian, that is the result of being a Christian.

IMO, that's a rare result. Sure there is some love among those who believe the same way but not so much for those who disagree.

Jesus said he came not to bring peace, but division. (Luke 12:49-53)

He also said to love your enemies. (Luke 6:27-36)

That's what I said. Also an atheist.

Jesus.

 

[chinu]

Alright by me, Brother.


DO you want to call yourself a Christian?

Thankyou brother.

 

[chinu]

I will agree to call you a Christian most of the time. Probably. But I might not really think of you as a Christian.
Or I might think of you as a Christian sometimes but think of you as a non-Christian at other times.

You seems to be double minded.

How about you? I don't believe that Jesus actually existed, and I think that the Bible is the worst thing to happen to humanity in centuries. But I kinda like the idea of a wise fictional teacher to deliver the Sermon on the Mount and such.

If I call myself a Christian, will you agree?

Jesus knows, So.. i'll ask jesus.

BTW.. are you intrested to know after that ?

 

[chinu]

I accept any sane and serious claim to be a Christian.

But how will know that one is really serious ?

 

[chinu]

It would not be up to me to agree or disagree. Any person's belief is between the person and God. It doesn't really matter if others agree or disagree.

Thankyou for leaving us alone.

 

[chinu]

Anyone can label themselves whatever they want. I'd ignore it and look at your actions and motivations.

After all.. what have you decided about me till now ? christian or not ?

 

[chinu]

All you really need is to talk about Jesus, who may or may not be metaphoric, and his death, which may or may not have happened. Simple, really.

OK.. i have seen jesus in real and i have talked with jesus in real, Now.. will you agree or disagree ?

 

[chinu]

I normally take peoples word for it but sometimes I ask their testimony on how they become a Christian or were saved.

It was an accident, Or in other words it was the "Will of god"

Or I will ask them if they died today do they know where they would spend eternity,

There's no need to SPEND any TIME there, because that place is beyond the limits of TIME/SATAN.

then ask them why.

I think you should ask HOW insted of WHY.

A few probing questions

You are more than welcome.

and five minutes

No matter you can take as much TIME/SATAN as you want.

and I would know if I should accept whether you were a Christian or not.

Yes.. you will accept me, or you will not accept me as christian after this, But within the limits of TIME.

 

[Straw Dog]

will you be agree ? if yes than its OK , If No, Than why ?

If you say that you are a Christian then who am I to say otherwise? This is a label that you have attributed to yourself and it's up to you to fulfill what obligations you feel you may have committed yourself to. As far as any contradictory claims go, it'll rest on what Biblical verses they isolate. In turn, you could fixate on opposing verses that support your position. Words... words... words... What we don't understand we can make mean anything.

All Christians are bad, that is why they became a Christian because they recognized they were bad and needed redemption.

Jesus.

If a person tells me they are a 'this' (religion) or a 'that' (religion), I assume very little about them in connection with their self chosen label.

If someone tells me they are a 'Christian', I figure they have some personal connection with SOMETHING typically (or topically) associated with 'Christianity' (though not necessarily in a typical way).
They could have a connection with a church community, the character Jesus, some concept of 'Christhood', the whole (christian) bible, certain parts of 'the bible', standard doctrines and interpretations, their own personal interpretations... etc, and any attitudes ranging from condemnation and judgementalism to acceptance and love/kindness.

When it comes to 'religion' what people say they are doesn't pack a whole lot of information. WHO they are, and what they are actually about (actualizing in their lives) is something I will find out by spending time with and around them. I have no personal need for people's chosen labels to reflect my own ideas. Their labels are their own, to fill and realize as they like.

i am not in a position to agree or disagree, since I don't know you. Saying that you are a Christian does not make you a Christian. Jesus said that many who professed him as Lord and claimed to serve him were actually "workers of lawlessness" and that he "never knew" them. (Matthew 7:21-23)
Jesus said: "Why, then, do you call me 'Lord! Lord!' but do not do the things I say?"
He then spoke of the tragic outcome to those who only claim to be his follower. (Luke 6:46-49)
True Christians, the one who truly follow Christ, accept Jesus conditions: "If anyone wants to come after me, let him disown himself and pick up his torture stake day after day and follow me continually." (Luke 9:23)

Thankyou lord for remembering me all this again.

not sure what that has to do with what I said
