Just to clarify this...
A deist is someone who believes that a god created the world and then abandoned it and thus not exerting any supernatural forces on it. In other words, a deist believes that a god made us and then left us to our vices. An agnostic believes that we cannot understand god or god's will. Also, being skeptical about the existence of a god but not saying they're true atheists would be considered agnostic. An atheist is someone who doesn't believe in a god(s)/higher beings at all. ok and there is always a debate over whether or not Catholics are christians... there is no set fact, its opinion.... AND the term christian is so widely used these days.. i think a lot of people say they are when they are not.... being Christian is a way of life. You believe in God and Jesus and have asked the holy spirit to come and live inside you. You go to church, you live by the bible, you worship God, its your life, who you are.... the term 'saved' is just a term, and for those who mentioned being annoyed with it, tough. i get annoyed with swearing but i dont bug you about it. I find it funny that anything that comes out of christians mouths can be twisted and become "forcing opinion on someone", and we as christians get hammered with attacks every day.. yet when we stand up for something simple, not forcing anything but simply saying "can you please not say that it offends me" (as the case with that one guy in here swearing and saying "HELL NO") we become a rude religion. The term religion is destroying us. How about just serving Christ and living the life?!! |

Perhaps not everything that comes from a Christian is perceived as forcing a belief, however if the case IS that religious opinions are being forced, why wouldn't someone view it as such? If it's being force, we have a right to say that it's being force.

I don't know about Sammi, but I'm confused about "since when are Catholics not Christian?" And if you can explain why they're Catholics are not, that'll be great.

Every so often, someone tries to figure out who’s to blame for nailing Jesus to the cross. Was it the Jews? Was it the Romans? Was it the combined sins of the world?
In a Jewish trial, there is no prosecution, just accusations from witnesses. The judges evaluate the accusations, and if they find that two or three agree, they announce that there is a conviction. In Jesus’ case, the Sanhedrin was even willing to convict Jesus on the basis of false testimony, but even that didn’t work. They couldn’t find Jesus guilty, because even the false witnesses didn’t agree. Finally, in Matthew 26:61, two witnesses came forward with similar testimony, but Mark 14:55-59 explains that it didn’t meet the legal requirement for conviction. Finally, the Sanhedrin was forced by their own procedures to ask Jesus outright if He claimed to be the Son of God. Not a tactic they preferred, because who would testify against himself if no one else did? But Jesus confessed the crime (Matthew 26:63-66, Mark 14:61-65, Luke 22:70-71). By confessing, Jesus convicted Himself, and the trial was thrown into the penalty phase. However, from the standpoint of the Sanhedrin, things didn’t go smoothly here either. The penalty for blasphemy was death, but since the Romans had taken away their authority to impose the death penalty, they had to refer Jesus to the Roman authorities. By policy, the Romans didn’t get involved in religious disputes, so the Sanhedrin had to emphasize the fact that the word ‘Messiah’ refers to a king, which could be construed as sedition against Rome. Pilate tried to get out of judging Jesus on the technicality that Jesus was from Galilee, so he sent Him to Herod the Tetrarch of Galilee, who was in Jerusalem at the time. Unfortunately for Pilate, Herod sent Jesus back. Finally, after Pilate examined Jesus and found that His kingship was no political threat to Rome, he declared Jesus innocent of any crime (Matthew 27:23, Mark 15:14, Luke 23:13-16, John 18:38). In the end, Pilate bowed to pressure and consented to the crucifixion under protest. But Pilate used the crucifixion to taunt the Sanhedrin. It was customary to place a plaque on the cross over the convict, stating the offense. Pilate did not write, “Claimed to be King of the Jews,” instead he wrote, “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews.” (John 19:19-22) In this way, Pilate showed his sympathies were with Jesus, not the Sanhedrin. So the Sanhedrin wanted to convict Jesus, but they couldn’t do it without Jesus’ cooperation. Pilate exonerated Jesus, but consented to the crucifixion under protest. Roman soldiers flogged Jesus and carried out the crucifixion, but they were indifferent to Jesus’ guilt or innocence—until even they came to believe that Jesus was the Son of God (Matthew 27:54). So who crucified Jesus? The answer is no one and everyone. No person or group of people is judicially guilty for nailing Jesus to the cross. Even though we needed Jesus to die on the cross to save us, Jesus didn’t need to save us. Jesus said: “The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.” —John 10:17-18, NIV Jesus volunteered of His own free will. He volunteered to die on the cross to save us from sin, because of His great love for us while we were yet sinners. No one forced Him to go to Calvary against His will. That is the story.. yep, the story

good post wolverine...
i wouldn't go as far as to say jesus commited suicide, that doesn't seem right.... as for whether or not catholics are christians, i never said they were, i never said they were not.... and of course if christians are forcing their opinions on people and they are offended they are allowed to say so, same goes for christian who are offended by what someone else says... its the idea that we should be respectful. |

It's the idea that we should be tolerant as well. If a person already has a faith/belief, why not to leave them be? This of course, only means to criticize Christians who do not know when to quit.
No you didn't say that Catholics are not Christians, however, why should that even be questioned? |

definitely :) christians or not, everyone should be tolerant of each other
the debate about catholics/christians has been going through this topic... it gets questioned because of beliefs... it happens with other denominations as well.. but to answer why, at least part of it, go back a few posts.. someone answered it.. cant think of who though! |
