Evolution...?

[RD2191]

this is very much so a minority view.

my grandfather (from my dad's side) was an armenian orthodox priest, i was raised with this , having read the english king james version and the armenian version of the bible, both of which cite crucifixion

Okay, minority, but the truth, imo.

[RD2191]

i have read 2 versions of the bible, just not for a while. with that being said, i know what makes somebody a christian. you haven't even given me your definition of a christian and still haven't been able to cite where you got it from

I got it from the Bible. As I said before and will say it again, if anyone wants to call themselves a christian for just believing in God then that is up to them. If you want to call a believer a christian then that is up to you.

i didn't say "just for believing in god"

and where from the bible?

[spurraider21]

i can make bull claims too

me: christianity fully believes in evolution
robdiaz: where did you get that?
me: the bible

[RD2191]

So who introduced you to this line of religious thought?

Little old lady came knocking, I answered the door. That is when I was introduced to what I believe is the truth.

Must be nice to choose when and how you want to follow these necessary "laws". God's not watching all the time it's cool.

So someone who believes in God and follows some of his laws is a Christian?

Too many scriptures to cite. You can Google it if you'd like.

Which is exactly why I haven't gotten baptized. Try to keep up, buddy.

what is the definition of Christian that you go by? in your own words

Yeah I'm with you. That's why I'm laughing. You think getting dunked in water somehow absolves you of being a ty human (based on the bible) for the majority of your life so far.

?

I have my answer.

I know what I need to know.

[RD2191]

Someone who is baptized and follows Gods rules/laws.

Great.

When did I make that claim? Keep going, buddy.

[spurraider21]

Someone who is baptized and follows Gods rules/laws.

so believing in the story of jesus christ isn't a requisite? neat

[Shastafarian]

If they're necessary why don't you follow them now?

[ChumpDumper]

Great.

Yep, hence the GIF.

[Shastafarian]

Oh so baptism is just a promise not to keep sinning? I've heard different meanings of the practice to be honest.

[RD2191]

Believing that Jesus died for your sins doesn't make anyone a Christian. Faith without works is dead.

14 Of what benefit is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but he does not have works?+ That faith cannot save him, can it?+15 If a brother or a sister is lacking clothing* and enough food for the day,16 yet one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but you do not give them what they need for their body, of what benefit is it?+17 So, too, faith by itself, without works, is dead.+

[Shastafarian]

Selective sinning. I like the sound of that.

[RD2191]

In a sense, maybe. Doesn't mean that the person getting baptized will never sin again.

Your words, not mine.

[ChumpDumper]

Oh.

One more thing:

If you die tonight, where will you spend your afterlife?
