[ QUOTE ]
I'm not bashing PTB, I've told him many times before I respect his beliefs and I prefer his brand of religious belief to what's commonly practiced. But... I think the resurrection of Jesus (actual, not spiritual) is the CENTRAL belief of the Christian faith. It is not open to personal interpretation. If you don't believe Jesus physically died and rose from the dead, you may be spiritual or religious - but you aren't Christian IMO. Just my opinion, nothing personal intended towards PTB. [/ QUOTE ] I didn't mean you necessarily. But I don't understand why the resurrection is the central belief of Christianity. It seems pretty irrelevant to the way one lives his life. I guess it's just semantics, but I would label anyone who believes they are following Jesus's message a Christian. Obviously what the message actually is is open to debate, so I guess I'm just saying that if you honestly believe you're a Christian, you're a Christian IMO. |
