There was no mention of skywizards, so that's optional I s'pose...cool.
No mention of visiting one of the corporate establishments every Sunday...cool.
Any cherry picking cafe Christians here wish to tell me that I'm not a Christian?
Of course they're all going to now cherry pick what it means to be a Christian based on what they do.
Because every Christian is their own personal perfect representative of what it means to be a Christian.
Cool... Do I have to buy candles but?
On one side of the scales we have just the belief in Jesus as The Son of The Lord God Almighty, on the other side of the scales, if you will, we have TENS of THOUSANDS of Christian schisms and unaffiliated congregations with absolutely NO doctrinal oversight.
I'm finding the assertion that ONLY belief in Jesus Christ as the Son of The Lord God Almightyis required is MASSIVELY belied by all those schisms.
There are things, confusing and muddlesome things, in Christianity WELL WORTH a schism beyond mere belief in Jesus, it don't add up. It don't add up at all.
PRAISE BANEEMY !!!
