Is Chuckt a Christian?

[PsyOps]

I think Jesus was "murdered" for rebelling against the status quo and the power base of the established church and it's leaders. A martyr created to justify a break away from what seemed to be a church and religion that had gone corrupt and power hungry.

And what do you consider to be the status quo and power base of the Christian faith today?

BTW, Did Jesus ever directly say he was going to be crucified specifically to erase all future sins of man? Just curious.

Jesus often talked about his death. His death represented the sacrifice God demanded from His people that WAS accomplished through animals. It’s not his crucifixion that erases our sins, it’s the belief in that sacrifice and subsequent resurrection that we are forgiven.

So, to more directly answer that question… No, Jesus never said his crucifixion would erase our sins; He said believing in Him would erase our sins.

If I were you, I would seriously reconsider "not being a christian". You will answer for that choice one way or the other.

No thanks. I am quite comfortable as an atheist, and am not afraid of burning in hell (if I believed there was such a place). It is disturbing, however, that Christians feel the need to issue that warning to non-Christians in an effort to instill fear that if they don't convert to Christianity, they will burn in hell.

But your curious...that's why you read the religion forums....

Well stated. chuckie is regularly judged and criticized by other posters for his being "judgmental". Nothing hypocritical about that, eh?

Let me get this straight, you are ok with Chuckt questioning the Christianity of millions of Roman Catholics, but when I make a post rewording his post to question if he is a Christian you get your panties twisted.

Hell yeah..he's the most misguided judgmental POS I've run across in quite a while..and that's a pretty high bar.

I agree, and I've been involved in apologetics for 22 years so that's saying something.

It would appear that way, wouldn't it?

Are you questioning your own Christianity, or the Christianity of the RCC? If not, why do you care what anyone else thinks?

By your logic, why do you care what I think? Why do you care if I care about what you care about the suspected thinking that may or may not have taken place when you composed your post?

It was actually a rhetorical question as I really don't care what you think or believe.

You appear to be obsessed with this anonymous forum poster, ChuckT, and somehow feel that your Catholic faith, and the faith of millions of roman Catholics is somehow diminished by his individual opinion that Catholicism is not Christian. Who cares? Debate with him if you care, but going after him in a thread like this asking "Is ChuckT a Christian" is just plain creepy and somewhat cyberstalker-ish. Catholics and Protestants have been at war, literally and figuratively, for hundreds of years. Get over it.

I never claimed to be Roman Catholic. I just don't like hypocrites. Interesting that you would rise to the defense of someone who hates a large segment of Christianity and yet are silent when that person attacks a large segment of Christianity.

OK, let's see Chuckie Tee do this stuff:

Signs of True Christians

"And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." -- Mark 16:17-18
"Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you." -- Luke 10:19

A lot of the Biblical wackos have died taking this to literally......

No. We don't want to trick anyone into the Kingdom of God because if I can trick you in, someone else can trick you out.
There are Christian forums where the word "hell" is banned and you can't use the word.
You seem to think that I can instill fear in someone who doesn't believe in hell and that is not the case.

Convert to Christianity? That is like telling someone they have to be religious to go to heaven and that is not what I'm saying.

My statement was a response to b23hqb; not to anything you said. B23hqb thought I should reconsider my choice of not being a christian, warning that I would answer for that choice one way or another.

Their sin is tempting God (to save them).

So I guess you need to start being careful, or you might piss him off..........
