Still, Dane, it will be interesting to hear your answers, and please try not let LL derail the conversation.

You are absolutely correct. No proof these are Christians. They might be Atheists.

A Christian is not one who keeps commandments. A christian is one who trusts Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. All people have broken every commandment according to the teachings of Christ.

Second, there are ceremonial laws, judicial laws and then there are the moral laws. With the new covenant which we are in with the coming on Christ, we are to keep the moral laws. Jesus fulfilled the blood covenant therefore we are no longer required to follow ceremonial or judicial laws.

Scroll down to the second shaded section.

So, Dane, which commandments does one need to keep to be a Christian? The original 10, the 613, those in Matthew etc? Please elucidate.

Do you keep all of them, or maybe you’re also not a Christian? You don’t work on the Sabbath, is that what you are telling us? And which day do you proclaim as the Sabbath?

While your in posting mode, please explain which of the 38,000+ sects of Christianity portrays “True Christians?

By the way, why are you cherry picking verses to make your point? Shouldn’t it be all or nothing? Kinda weak otherwise, isn’t it?

Every self proclaimed xtian is An xtian. You believe in Christ? You a xtian. Ain’t no damn xtian standard and you don’t have the final say.

Tell me, Chosen One, what is your xtian definition?

Save your biblical shit. This is an atheist blog. Who the fuck is bullying whom, when just about every atheist in here don’t care if you practice your shit privately. You came in here like you’re somebody, huffin and puffin and getting all persecuted and shit.

“..to discredit Christianity is no different than you trying to use a Caucasian to discredit black Africa.”

Says who? Trying to defend xtianity is like eating dog shit? How’s that for nonsense? Get the fuck out of here.

“I would like for you to prove that these people are in fact Christians like you boldly assert.”

Okay, I give up moron. They are not xtians. Now prove your god. See, your diversion didn’t work. Your god is still bullshit. Next.

And if you appeal to that standard, you will find that these people are in fact NOT Christians. And if these people are not Christians, then your whole article, if used as a means to attack or discredit Christianity, is dishonest.

As for the standard for who is or who is not a Christian that the Bible supplies is concerned, consider:
1. Jesus said not everyone who calls Him “Lord” is a true Christian (Matthew 7:21-23).
2. He who claims to know God but does not keep His commandments (e.g., love your enemies) is a liar and is not a Christian (1 John 2:4).
3. He who hates others is a murderer and has no eternal life in them; he is not a Christian (1 John 3:15).

Based upon these few points (there are countless others), you will see that these individuals were not Christians at all. If you want to be honest in your scrutiny of Christianity, please appeal to people who are true candidates of that religion. You using godless bullies like these to discredit Christianity is no different than you trying to use a Caucasian to discredit black Africa.

Interesting to note that the only people who are willing to defend your positions and poor claims about logic and reasoning are religious nut jobs and whackos who decry our eternal damnation and wish to instill the fear of god’s wrath as a substitute for rationality. The only “defense” I have seen have been quotes from scripture. Is that really who you wish to be associated with? The “if the child won’t obey, threaten him with a good beating” mindset?

“DPK-Lou

You guys must be the one and same. Always defending one another. I understand why.”

Show me where I defended DPK. Unless you do, that makes you a liar.
