What is Christianity?

Yet you have been shown example after example of religions that assigned a creator role to a God that was later found to be non-existent. So how is the God you created any different?

Yet all of the evidence says otherwise. I don't. I can't. I am as clueless about that as everyone else who is not creating gods.

It's been awhile since we had someone post so much totally irrelevant crap as you have achieved.Again, it may be interesting what you believe but it also tells us nothing about "What is Christianity?"It may tell us what YOU think Christianity is but other than that it has no worth or value.You are not a Trinitarian, we understand that.You are not a Sunday Sabbath person, we understand that.But there are also Christians that are Trinitarians and do worship on Sunday so nether a belief or disbelief in the Trinity or the day of worship is of any value in identifying a Christian.Now, you you have anything of substance, relevance or worth to contribute towards identifying "What is Christianity?"

As if there even was something like "Christianity". Since there is no universal version of Christianity then the question itself was simply silly.Edited by jar, : appalin spallin

Just more word salad and in fact evidence Jesus is not alive.What you are saying is that Jesus is a figure in your imagination and exists only to serve you.

While that might be a mainstream position it really never made much sense to me. Jesus alive and pre-death makes sense but Jesus resurrected and yet alive gets fuzzy and Jesus alive post ascension just gets totally weird.To say God or Jesus are alive in the same sense I am alive is where I have a problem. Do they have to take a shit regularly, eat to continue living, breath air, get hungry, need sleep? If God stops eating will God die? Does God get old? Will God die in the same sense I will die?

Except of course for the fact that resurrection was not at all uncommon in the Bible stories. Happened again and again to quite a few folk. There was nothing really unusual or unique about Jesus resurrection.

Yes, Paul used that as part of his marketing spiel yet never offered any support or evidence. It, like so many of Paul's marketing slogans simply does not stand up to examination.

No, I do not confuse the two. If so, it seems an enormous waste of time and energy. How is Jesus resurrection any different than any of the other resurrections in the Bible stories? That is almost true, but I would have used the writings of the Buddha instead. And no, it does not mean Jesus was delusional although it's very likely some of those recording the tales were.It means that considering Jesus death as the sacrifice is in error. If though you consider Jesus life the sacrifice all fits together and does not make God look stupid.Edited by jar, : fix quote

Yawn.Thank God no one took my sin debt.

Yes, that is certainly one of the brands of Christianity that is marketed, the FUD branch and Kiss Hanks Ass branch.It is that God not the only branch of Christianity.It is a branch that markets an evil, despicable God that should be opposed by any moral creature.

Sorry but that is just a codswallop of word salad with no value or meaning.

Of course Paul was about starting a new religion, HIS religion. Paul was making and developing and marketing a franchise.But the thread, the topic, is about What is Christianity? It's not about what was Christianity, but rather about what is Christianity and so far the obvious answer is that it is many totally different sales pitches with almost noting in common except the Franchise name. The menus are different, prices different, nutritional value different.Edited by jar, : hit wrong key

The first sentence is pitiful and sad and makes Jesus life and teachings worthless. The rest of that is just nonsense word salad. There was no point in Jesus living for thirty plus years or teaching for three years or value in anything he taught it seems. Stop and read what you write. Even if we are incapable of success on our own are we not still expected and charged to try and do our best regardless of whether God bails us out? That is certainly part of the current marketing spiel but has Jesus returned? Does Jesus rule all? The the Second Coming happen and no one got the memo?Sorry but even under the Christian redefinition of Messiah Jesus is still a failed Messiah. What does that mean? If Jesus is imaginary then how is Jesus alive?What do you mean?There is no doubt that you represent one of the many different religions that today call themselves "Christian" but the question still remains; "What is Christianity?"

You can argue any fool thing you want but that still has nothing to do with the point made and is, quite frankly, a bunch of crap.Even under the Christian redefinition of Messiah Jesus is still a failed Messiah. Bullshit and certainly not supported by the Bible stories. Jesus was arrested, tried, sentenced and executed and had no more choice in the matter than the other two criminals executed that day. He was just 32 years old. He did not succeed in a lifetime of teaching like the Buddha.
