You state you were a Christian of twenty years
If those teachings of Christianity reflect what you suggest now, that anyone can become a Christian, then the teachings you received and probably taught others were perverted from the true teachings of the bible.
Simple isnt it.
If you didnt read your bible and sat under false teachings for twenty years you are ignorant to the truth. Again very simple.
I am not judging you I am simply stating obvious facts,
you have become aggressive and emotional.
Truth is Christianity is flourishing in the 3rd world countrys, it wont be dead by 2038.
It struggles in Western society because people like you dont understand Christianity, even after 20 years of church. You never got the basics so, ho hum.
and Why would I hide anything, what do I care, why should I not condemn you straight out if that was my intention. Whats it to me what you think. Silly premise
I believe its the word of God and its authoritative, no question. But in this discussion we are dealing with pre destination and Christian doctrine. Not authority of the bible.

Bow down every one
Thats a bit naive Annee, we will all bow down to God in time, not me.
Its true though what you say, I am a true Christian by the Grace of God over my life, not anything I have accomplished.
Its also considered a blessing to be mocked by non believers. Luke 6:22
Thank you
Yes, you have been blessed. I admire your meekness. Glory to God.

Meek, if only I could be meek. It is not one of the evident fruit of my life....sadly.
Unfortunately I am both rude and arrogant and deserve a lot of the negative attention I receive.
Though most of what I type is not personnel I can see why some take it that way.

Meaning what?
Followers of Christ's message aren't "true" Christians unless they believe exactly as you do?
Seems we are FINALLY getting to the "root" of your cryptic posts.

The issue I am contending is false Christian teaching, not who is a Christian.

to me a 'true' Christian is anyone who genuinely believes in Jesus, has accepted His forgiveness, and makes a real effort to live for Him, denying self. I know plenty of 'true' Christians, but no perfect ones.
we are all works in progress. at least we 'true' Christians recognize our shortcomings and try to be a blessing, to our Lord and to our fellow man.

And how do you determine what is false Christian teaching?
You have selected ancient script - - written by man - - interpreted by man.
Best you can do is be true to the interpretation you choose.

A true Christian lives in a relationship with Jesus, beyond Gods laws and yours for that matter.
It was never about being good or the law, its about relationship with Jesus.
You dont understand Christianity.

I was raised Christian.
I am Atheist - - I am not Christian. I live my life closer to Jesus "WORDS" then many Christians.
I believe every thought is an action. Therefore - - not only am I responsible for my own actions - - I am also responsible for thought creation.
There is NO fake smile accompanied by negative thoughts in my world.

Why is this? When so many other people have posted comments that oppose their beliefs? The difference is that my comments were very different than the other comments that opposed an atheists beliefs. The Youtube channel that submitted the video I commented on is called AskAnAtheistTV. I will make a separate thread concerning this situation soon.

If it doesn't fit - - make it fit.
Like when a Christian murders someone. "Oh - he wasn't a REAL Christian. Christians only believe in love".
Always a copout.
