» Free yourself
|
If you did not answer "yes" to every single question above then you do not believe in the words of god/Jesus in the Bible. If that is the case then why continue call yourself a Christian? You can continue to be a spiritual person and faithful to god without the need to enroll in a religion or pretend you have a book that knows exactly what god demands of us. If there is a loving god out there then there is only one single thing that we can assume that god wants us to do. And that's to live a loving and kind life. Free yourself from the dogma of organized religion and simply live a good and pure life.

What if man was wrong about the Bible? When you get right down to it, being a Christian means you put your faith 100% into man, not god. You are putting your faith into the men who claimed to be writers inspired by god. You are also putting your faith into the men who decided which scriptures are sacred and worthy of being in the Bible. All that a Christian believes in is based on his/her faith in what claims and decisions man has made. Freeing yourself from such religious dogma allows you to be free to base you believes on all available evidence such as that provided by the world around us and not just the claims of man.

» Fundamentalist vs. Moderate Christians
Fundamentalist Christians take every word of the Bible as truth and thus the only ones to be considered actual true Christians. Moderate Christians have accepted that many parts of the Bible are false and only follow certain parts or don't take all of it as literal truth. These people are not actually Christians because they give their own word authority over the word of Jesus and the Lord. They personally choose which words of Jesus and which words of the Lord are acceptable and which ones are not. The real question is, if one is going to only follow certain parts of the Bible taking only certain parts of it as truth based on personal decisions and thus forfeit all of the Bible's authority, then why use the Bible at all? Most of the "moderate Christians" don't fully and truly believe in the word of the Bible but they still have faith in a god, however they don't understand that the two are separable. One can still have faith without following a set of texts. After all, when one is putting faith in the Bible they are only putting faith into man's claims that it is the inspired word of their god.
