    Question for Christians.

    The athiests thread got me thinking about this simple question. Along with Smooth to his credit in this respect.

    What makes you a Christian in your own words? What makes you feel you can call yourself a Christian with confidence?

      Awesome first response but I'm looking for serious answers.

        I can't help you there. I can, however, offer you arbitrary racial slurs.

          sounds like a good compromise.

            When it comes down to it, Its when you accept and believe in Jesus as your one and only Savior. Some may argue, but thats what a "true Christian" will believe.

              Not to start a shit-storm, but this is what confuses me because what about God?

                That's what I never understood either. Where does God come into play?

                  I know you guys know the answer to those questions, if not...read the Bible. A book so important to so many people should not go ignored whatever your take on it is. Read it for knowledge, read it for lawls, hell...read it for ammo to criticize Christianity!



                  Edit, this was in response to the two previous posts and not the OP!

                      ^ Agreed. I have yet to finish it but I've read enough to know the trinity has everything to do with it.

                      I'm asking for personal opinions because they vary quite a bit.

                        God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are the trinity. They are one in the same.
