I have few things to say

1st- When Nohas Ark landed on Mt. Ararat and civilization begain again, since everything was flooded, Armenians were known as Sun worshippers. Armenians were the one of the 1st countries to convert to Christianity so you see Pagans religion is older then Cath,Chris, & ect…

2nd- When you sit there and say we only believe in ONE GOD why do you pray to Jesus or Mary, surely they are not GODS, Jesus is the son of GOD and Mary is Mother of Jesus but praying to them isn’t that breaking a commendment(sorry about spelling don’t have much time).

Fine. But God is not a construct of the imaginations of people who sat down and came up with a theory. He revealed Himself, and when He did, it became evident that the theorization that preceded His revelation got it wrong.

It is by no means a bad thing than men seek God. But left to his own devices, man doesn’t get it right. That is why we are thankful that a loving Creator took the initiative and made Himself known to the creatures He created.

There isn’t space here to do other than note that the above is predicated on a misunderstanding (or lack of knowledge) of Catholic and Christian doctrine and beliefs, and does not follow from them.

Maybe a god/ess/both reveled themselves to other people, just in a different form than what you believe in. Doesn’t make them wrong at all. Did God come to you personally, like actually speak to you face-to-face and tell you this? I doubt it, so you really have no proof that you are right and everyone else is wrong.

If God is not a construct of the imaginations of people, then maybe the gods that were worshipped before your Christian God aren’t either. You didn’t live then, you haven’t seen God, so whether you like it or not, YOU DON’T KNOW. No-one does.

When I was younger, I was taught that God reveals himself to people in different ways. Perhaps he/she revealed themself to people in the way they could best understand it. To you, that is your Christian God. To others it is a God and Goddess, to others it may just be a Goddess. None of these people are wrong. They all just have different ideas of the same god.

The site lists Unitarians, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Christian Science, and Mormonism as “Types of Christianity.” :rotfl:

Not only is the site incomplete, what it promulgates is fiction. :whistle:

Actually, whether you like these people or not (more intolerance?) they are Christians - all Protestant denominations. Or are you going to tell me now that Protestants aren’t Christian either because they aren’t Catholic
[1]Chris·tian - 1 a : one who professes belief in the teachings of Jesus Christ

I myself never cared for Jehovah’s Witnesses, and disagree with A LOT of their teachings, but they believe in Jesus - they are Christians

Christian Science - the name speaks for itself

Unitarians - it says right on the site that it includes both Christain and non-Christian members

etc., etc.

My parents (my mother a strict Catholic and my father Methodist/Catholic), didn’t like any of these religions at all, but they would still admit that they were a type of Christianity. Back to the whole pride thing again?

Jesus taught that he and the Father were one. None of these “denominations” believe that. By the (very secular, limited, and non-theological) definition you cite, they are not Christians.

By that logic, I think I’ll take a plain piece of paper, write on it, “This is a one thousand dollar bill”, take it to the bank, and see if I can get ten one hundred dollar bills in change. If your logic is sound, I could be onto a good thing here. 😃

To be a Christian is to be a Trinitarian, not a Unitarian, no matter what the web site says. Many seek cachet by abusing the term “Christian,” including, it seems, the authors of the website.

As for being a Methodist/Catholic, I’m not sure what that means. It sounds a bit like “feline dog” or “canine cat”, and makes no sense at all as written.

And once again, you mistake a refusal to commit the sin of indifference for the sin of pride.

Blessings,

Gerry

They are not Christians. Because they all misunderstand the Trinity and think Jesus was not God…therefore they don’t really follow Him–they just refer to Him.

I keep forgetting about that bit of historical unpleasantness. The crusades have not been conducive to cordial relations, either.

However, I was thinking of contemporary history, but perhaps that’s a rhethoric question.

Unpleasantness? Stopping the hordes from invading Europe was unpleasantness? Sounds like sound defense to me. Martel fought them in France for a reason you know. Good thing he won, too.

Also, I saw some people say that they were not of any particular sect or denomination, but that they were “True Christians”. Just to inform you, Christianity is a blanket term covering several religions with similar beliefs. There is not a set religion called “Christianity”. I suppose there could be a religion called “True Christianity”, but it would still be another sect of Christianity.

This site gives a pretty good list, although maybe not complete, of some of the forms of Christianity. victorian.fortunecity.com/crescent/487/Christianity/Christianity1.html

Yes, christianity covers several different religions but all the religions or denominations of Christianity have certain beliefs in common such as the divinity of Christ.
