Since Christianity FTW is a debate between christians and atheists I decided to make a new thread for a debate between christians and christians alone.

This is a debate between christian who have a different veiw of the bible, how to get to heaven, etc. It's about the types of christians and which ones are right and which ones are wrong. There are Roman Catholics, methodists, baptists, etc each with a different veiw of the bible.
This is a debate between the christians. State what type of christian you are and explain why you think being this type of christian is the right path.

You can't control who does and who does not post on a thread :/

Not really. It's everything on Christianity, which would include this.

I think if you don't have Gods help you would put a human spin on the bible which would make it wrong...

explains why there are so many different interpretations of the bible, and so many sub-sections of christianity. perhaps none of them are right, because none of them have god on their side.

Sorry, man, open game. You can't dictate who does and doesn't post on something. So, let's start.

Putting a human spin on the bible? We always do that. No one has "God's help" understanding the Bible. They just mangle the Bible to where it suits their world-view. Kinda explains why I'm an Atheist.

Actually the profets who wrote the bible did write as they saw images and quotes from god.

Are you sure they weren't high? 'Cause that's what most people see when they're high...

Well, Christianity came from the Romans, who believed in something close to greek mythology. I'm pretty sure that stephenking is right, cuz, the Greeks would get prophets from women who drank liquids that are now known to get people high. Like, rage high. So, remember, those people turned into some of the first Christians. IDK, I learned that at school. I'm not even Christian, I'm Hindu, but, whatever.

@stephenking
What if it was possible to get help from Deity to understand the universe? Sorry, this is my first time here, and I don't know the normal rules of how things work here or how to respond the same way you all are, but frankly I can't believe that this universe was created out of nothing, and I can't believe that the creator would not be interested in what he created. If the Bible was meant to be used, then it would require help from Deity.
Point I'm trying to make is, some of us are trying to be true to the source- and I have had my fair share of idiots who would call a desert an ocean to get something in the scriptures to work for them, but many of us are trying. You can argue about whether we're right or wrong (and I'd rather not, because lets face it, it would never end and we'd gain nothing from it), but don't bash us because we're trying and messing up. Some of us are trying to get it right, and find the right answer instead of what we want to see.

sometimes what you want to see, and the right answer get confused with eachother. happens all the time in fact, but people, for their pride, won't admit it, or accept it. that is why it is the job of those who don't belive to correct the difference between the two.

Good point. To be honest, and please don't take offense at this because I mean that as a compliment, but frankly my own belief is that God created atheism for that reason. (My views for admission into heaven are unorthodox at best, if that isn't apparent.) The worst times in human history was when it was illegal to have a different viewpoint. Argument doesn't help much, simply because you entrench yourself in your own thought without considering another- but the ability to create unorthodox ideas helps us grow. I do believe there is one correct answer out there, but somehow that is the only way to find it.

It's about the types of christians and which ones are right and which ones are wrong.


besides the "No atheists allowed" bs I think this is where things fall apart. This is working under the assumption that there is a form of Christianity that is correct. This ignores the possibility that Christianity could be completely wrong.

When you rely on faith there are no answers.

Seems quite an excellent idea for a Supernatural being to actually create the seeds of sedition and disbelief in Him if you can believe He created Atheism. What a brilliant plan.

Plenty of people "follow" Christ that in reality are just out there for themselves. He condemned plenty for that when he was on the earth. I figure, if you can actually be against Christ when you say you are for him, yet live a selfish life, the inverse can be true. You can believe Christianity is horrid, think the idea of a supreme being is nonsense, and yet live a good life that he inadvertently would approve of.
I've learned enough history to know that it takes all kinds to learn what we need to be moral people, and all kinds is what we are going to get.

Again, assuming He exists, a notion that makes many of us shudder in our boots.

Christianity its real. First of all, Catholics, are not Christians. Second of all, I think this topic it pretty deep. Third of all, it you want to challenge my beliefs or my Jesus visit my comment box on my profile at Jake297. God is real and out there, people. And he loves his people, the true Christians.
