What is Christianity?

Sorry Jar, I've gotten so busy I rarely have time to write a post.My ways of thinking about things are constantly changing, but here's my current Christian paradigm philosphy belief thingy:Christianity is the way of life and way of thinking beginning with firm belief in one eternal, just, righteous, loving, sovereign, truthful, immutable, immanent, and transcendent God in essence who is the creator of all reality, the physical universe which is sort of embedded in a spiritual universe, and this followed by the belief that He is intimately involved in and caring about everything that goes on in all reality and has revealed himself to us through personal & written revelation, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus Christ.He created this time-oriented and free-will based reality knowing the spiritual warfare that would play out in order to demonstrate the fullness of his character to his creations including his great personal love for us in his son, Jesus Christ, who was fully God and fully man in one person.Living the Christian life entails: humbling one's self to recognize one's own mortality, obscurity, lowliness, unmerited value, and need for forgiveness thereby accepting and trusting in God's plan including the offer of salvation through belief in Christ; loving God, loving your neighbor, and loving truth; doing all things with God's purposes in mind; daily learning what those purposes are by studying scripture, praying, and continually meditating on Him; and generally having a relaxed, flexible, and un-judgemental attitude enjoying the freedom and blessings provided by grace. It means having your spirit and God's Spirit co-mingling to produce good in your thoughts, words, and actions.Hope I expressed that clearly enough...This message has been edited by Hangdawg13, 08-29-2004 08:13 PMThis message has been edited by Hangdawg13, 08-29-2004 08:15 PM
