No named belief system. Just trying to spread peace and harmony in this mad world.

Answer 1

One should not conform to society, if a million people want you to jump off a cliff should u do it?



A person who believes in Jesus Christ is going to have persecution, if you want the approval of man. Then you seek after the flesh, because who is good? And says he is above heavenly things? If people have a problem with a man being racists, why don't they have a problem with people killing Christian's just because of their belief?



The narrow path is not a nice path, you don't get to heaven by being a good. You have to believe in Jesus Christ that he died for you, by the grace of Jesus and believing that he's the son of God. And repent of all your sins, You must be born again of the Holy spirit, the old nature must be replaced by the new, if you fall back into sin you'll repent of your sins. This is what it means to be righteous.



Harmony is not part of this world, look at the crime, violence and confused people when they go after gay people, hope is for those that believes in christ

Answer 2

People belonging to denominations will say no, people belonging to non-denominations will say yes. But I have to point out that even a non-denominational church is an organized church and is run based on the pastor's personal interpretation. The difference is that the lone pastor leads a lone congregation, not a multitude of congregations.



We can belong to a denomination and still say to others that we are a follower of Jesus's teachings. But our actions should say that for us.

Answer 3

Yes, and many do, acknowledge that, there are millions of non denominational Christians, and so what if others prefer a denomination? Jesus did say that he had sheep in other pastures, so it is not about what you want it to be, but what He has made it to the Glory of the Heavenly Father.

Answer 4

one can believe in jesus fully without affiliation with any church, however, a person with faith and affiliation with the "saints" are much more edified and enlightened. where a person without true and undefiled religion, without prophets seers and revelators, will take 5 times longer to learn what the scriptures actually say, and without a true prophet all men come to false doctrines and heresies and are easily led into error.

Answer 5

If you follow the teachings of Jesus you are 'Christian'. You don't have to be of a particular sect.

Answer 6

Luke 8:21 KJV And he (Jesus Christ) answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.



Hosea 6:6 KJV For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.



Acts 4:19 KJV But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.



Romans 14:12 KJV So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.



2 Timothy 2:15 KJV Study to shew thyself *approved unto God*, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.



Christians are individually accountable to God and where He leads that individual.

Answer 7

In my experience, they are making sh!t up just to appear cool and rebellious. A simple test of what is in the bible usually destroys them.



Then again, such a test destroys most xtians so I don't know why I even posted this...









...Oh yeah, the cool and rebellious thing. Attention seekers etc.

Answer 8

Just trying to spread peace and harmony in this mad world.



----Uh, I thought Jesus said he came bringing a sword and to set family members against one another.

Answer 9

No. If you are fully obedient to Christ, then you will be Catholic as that is the Church he established.

Answer 10

no

if you believed fully in jesus then you know he established the church which met together regularly



no one was a loner
