But a society of true christians would do there best to stay away from all crime and try to be helpful, loving and peaceful. Atheists would too, but theres no reason for them not do some crime as long as it doesnt make them waste a lot of time in jail. If there were an atheist and a christian in south LA i think the atheist would be more likely to end up in a gang or doing crime.
Wrong.  Not only implying that atheist=selfish (wrong) but just completely ignoring the fact that many gangsters of all different types are easily able to justify their actions without compromising their religion, from Mafia to Bloods and Crips to Hell's Angel and more.  In fact, some people even believe they haven't been killed or throw in jail for life because God is somehow protecting them and their actions.... crazy, huh?

So, a true christian to you is someone who interprets the bible exactly like you do?

Isn't it a little arrogant to imply that if everyone were like you there would be no crime?

Im not even catholic ashley. I dont know why you keep showing me priests who are abusing kids. They are bad people. There are bad atheists too.
Yes, there are 'bad' atheists and 'bad' catholics. Just as there are 'bad' christians. And 'bad' muslims. And 'bad' taoists. And 'bad' buddists. And 'bad' agnostics. And 'bad' jews.

And that's the whole point JaMDuDe - they are bad people.

There all also good people, be they athiest, agnostic, christian, jew, catholic, muslim, taoist, buddist, erisian, mormon, sirusian, non-believer, or whatever.

I never said that. If the bible says not to kill, a true christian wouldnt kill.

Scorpion if its against someones religion to do crime, they are less likely to do crime than someone who has no religion.

So you can't be a Christian and a soldier? 

Actually, I'm not even going to respond to any more of your bullshit.  You sicken me.

Yes you can be a christian soldier. I was just saying if the bible says not to do something a christian shouldnt do it.

Actually the translation is murder. Killing for the sake of defending yourself or your nation is okay. Turning the other cheek doesn't mean lay down and die.

And man by nature is against God, so everyone is susceptible (sp?) to acts less than civil.

Yes, so say the bible says not to let unjustice go unpunished. A true christian could take this to mean he should murder the man who stole his wife, or murder the guy that got his promotion.

You should at least understand what your talking about before you post. You cannot murder people for getting "your" promotion.

hmm, keep this thread open a little longer.  I have been lurking around, reading and not posting.  I am formulating thoughts and answers and hopefully will get them written down in Word then transfer them here.

As to the original question, Yes, I am a Christian but I believe that in this day and age that Christian does not mean what it should mean.  Many people can say they are saved but are they?

As, I have found out via pm's on here and general knowledge, most Christians are Arminians but few really dig deep into the scriptures.  Few have read the works of Augustine, Luther, and Calvin among a few. 

But I found this quote while going through my yearbook for last year.

"If you're living like there's no God, you'd better be right." ~unknown

But if we look at it properly, I believe this is the... 110th page on this topic. Everything that can be discussed has been discussed - at least three times.

So?? If we're happy to keep discussing the issue, why close the topic? We're not causing trouble!? Surely thats the point of this area of the forum, for serious debate!

I agree...if we find new arguments about previous points, why not bring them up again?

Thats a very VERY biased remark. There is much more to Islam than what we see in the news. And try to remember that there are many more Muslims that want peace than war, but unfortunately a peaceful Muslim is not news...
