You are lumping all people who believe in the same book as being the same.

This simply is not true.

I was talking about religion in general. Or cults. They discourage seekers from looking elsewhere for truth.
I have found this to be true in several different religions.

Is Christianity a mere relationship and not a religion at all?

You got it

This suggests that Christians and Christianity THINK THEY OWN GOD.

JB

You may suggest whatever you want...
As a christian, I guess I'm here to tell you that that's not the case from my standpoint. If there are other christians out there who think they do..sorry

No answer yet ?.

Christianity is a fellowship with people who also believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins....we pray together, we eat together, we get married and all are there...we have babies and all are there....someone is sick and all are there....someone needs to move and they are all there...someone dies and we all are there....

My relationship with Christ is a personal one.....one in which He has my heart, my soul, my mind forever and ever. And this again is not because this is what I was "Taught" to believe....it's because of circumstances to where I could "No" longer deny his existence and Christ's amazing Love for me.

the quest to obtain more knowledge is a sin ... as in the story of the Garden of Eden all Man needed to know was how to tend a garden and how to worship God and any knowledge beyond that God did not intend for Man to have which is why the desire to obtain knowledge is a desire to committ sin

Thank you Feralcatlady! That's a very good description of Christianity.

Love you all!

What else does it mean then? They say that Christianity IS NOT A RELIGION.

Then they say it is about RELATIONSHIP with god.

So then if that is true, everyone who believes in god and feels they have a relationship with god is a Christian. Right?

Not according to them. They then go on to insert all the trappings of their religion about Jesus who died for the sins of mankind and how you must accept him as your personal savior and believe on him, be born again .... etc etc etc..... WHICH IS A RELIGION.

And they say, no it is "not a religion" it is just about a relationship with god.... and back into the circle we go...on and on into an insane circle that does not make any sense.

News flash! Christianity is a religion. Period. Don't tell people it is not a religion. You can't divorce Jesus from his Church and throw away the Bible and the religion.

SIN - Sensuous Indigenous Nuts

They were originally found in remote parts of Australia but have since found their way into the cultural cuisines all over the globe. They of often roasted and canned and sold under the pseudo name of "Cashews".

Anyone who devours these nuts is instantly endowed with the knowledge of "good".

Of course, once they have a knowledge of "good" they instantly realize that they have always been bad.

The only way to reverse the affects of these sinfully delicious Cashews is to participate in sexual intercourse with two virgins (you being one of them of course). Only then can you return to a total ignorance of what is good.

These Sensuous Indigenous Nuts are, in fact, the true God.

Unfortunately, most people worship Chocolate instead.

And the true heathens eat Chocolate Covered Cashews.

To be purposefully blasphemous, they often place the Chocolate Covered Cashews on top of Ice Cream and refer to it as a "Sunday" thus mocking the Sabbath day by naming a sinfully delicious treat after it.

There are celibate monks who live in the highlands of remote the mountains the Amazon. They are said to have access to the SIN nuts but have never eaten them. They also live amongst coca trees, but have never made chocolate. They smoke peyote and mind their own business. They are said to be as close to God as any mortal man can possible be. But at night when they are sleeping the Voodoo witches come and make love to their bodies whilst they sleep and rob them of their genes. They then make clones of the monks and force the clones to eat Chocolate Covered Cashews on every day of the week except Sunday. They do this to please the Gods of Neptune who would destroy the earth if it wasn't for these pious rituals performed by the Voodoo witches of the Amazon.

The cloned celibate monks become quite chubby and begin to resemble Buddha dolls. They are then sent out into the world to suffer life in hot arid places infested with snakes, spiders, Muslims, and Jews. They are often given names like, "Belushi"

Some times they are starved before being set free to disguise them. In that case they are given fake German accents and sent to tropical places like Florida where they are led to believe that all mythologies have merit, especially as fodder for interactive games. They are given pseudo names like "Smiless"

Once in a while the monk clones will be female. In those rare cases the women are extremely intelligent and given insight into the mysterious powers of the universe. These women are then set loose in cyberspace and given weird screen names like Jeanniebean, or Redykeulous..

There much more to the secret of the SIN nuts, but it is being guarded by dust bunnies underneath the bed of an undisclosed aboriginal woman who is native to the original continent of Australia where the Sensuous Indigenous Nuts originated.

A secret agent for the demons of the underworld who goes by the code name "Tribo" is determined to find the nuts, the chocolate, and the Sundays, and confiscate them for the Dark Lords of Gangland.

Well I got that terminology of "death row" from Christians. I guess it is an analogy.

For "The wages of sin is death." Everyone is considered to be a sinner and fall short of the glory of god. That means that they are all on "death row."

I also get the terminology of "Pardoned by the blood" from Christians.

I'm not making this stuff up, I get it from Christians.
