I am a Christian who does not accept or follow Christianity.

[JacobMartinMertens]

I am a Christian. I do not follow Christianity. This means that I accept the Bible but I do not accept Christian doctrines that are not found in the Bible.

NASB20

Christian
Acts 26:28 NASB20 - Agrippa [replied] to Paul, "In a short [time] you [are going to] persuade me to make a Christian [of myself.]"
1 Peter 4:16 NASB20 - but if [anyone suffers] as a Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God in this name.

Christians
Acts 11:26 NASB20 - and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And for an entire year they met with the church and taught considerable numbers of people; and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

I am open to discussion of matters of this concern. If you think that I am out to lunch let me know. Otherwise I would just say I am a Christian and an adherent of Christianity.

You shouldn't. A true Christian should never add to or take away from the Word of God.

Rev 22:

16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

It is talking about Revelation as a book or letter. I believe. I do not believe that it is talking about the Bible. But the Bible should not be changed either. I believe that everything would be okay in the originals or the original manuscripts. I am not perfect, and I believe that people should be able to ask questions. For example, I do not know the day that Jesus died. But that is not what you were saying here. At least I don't think so. So, I agree.

What Christian doctrines do you not believe/follow?

 

[JacobMartinMertens]

What Christian doctrines do you not believe/follow?

For example, I am not Trinitarian. I don't know what else. That would probably come out in conversation. Some things I have uncertainty about.

Do you know WHY traditional Christianity is trinitarian?

It might be a good thing to know.

I am open to you explaining it to me.

I know that there is the Alpha and Omega in Revelation.

John 17:5 NASB20 - "And now You, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world existed.

Why not?

What are your thoughts on salvation, which for traditional Christians requires belief in the Trinity.

 

[JacobMartinMertens]

Why not?

John 17:5 NASB20 - "And now You, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world existed.

This verse seems to say that God did not come to earth. And the Son of God is not God.

 

[JacobMartinMertens]

What are your thoughts on salvation, which for traditional Christians requires belief in the Trinity.

I believe that I am saved by God and Jesus through or by faith in God and Jesus. This means eternal life for me. Jesus is Lord.

Which part of the Trinity do you not agree with?

 

[JacobMartinMertens]

Which part of the Trinity do you not agree with?

I do not agree with the Trinity doctrine. I do not believe that Jesus is God. But in Revelation there is the Alpha and the Omega.

if Jesus was not God on earth, then who is he to you??

 

[JacobMartinMertens]

if Jesus was not God on earth, then who is he to you??

The Bible reveals Jesus the way that I believe. It says that Jesus is the Unique One and Only Son of God. Lord. Master. Savior. Prophet. Priest. King.

 

[MsMediator]

I do not agree with the Trinity doctrine. I do not believe that Jesus is God. But in Revelation there is the Alpha and the Omega.

What do you mean by, you have faith in Jesus then if he is not God? Why would you have faith with someone who is not God?

 

[JacobMartinMertens]

What do you mean by, you have faith in Jesus then if he is not God? Why would you have faith with someone who is not God?

Because the Bible says that we are to have faith in Jesus.

 

[MsMediator]

Because the Bible says that we are to have faith in Jesus.

Do you pray to Jesus and ask him for things?

 

[JacobMartinMertens]

Do you pray to Jesus and ask him for things?

I have considered it. I may be able to just ask Him if He can hear me, such that it would not be prayer. For He taught us (the disciples) to pray to the Father, God. Or, His Father, God.

 

[Truthnightmare]

Because the Bible says that we are to have faith in Jesus.

Jesus said He was God. And others in the Bible said He was God.
