For good people to do bad things...
#63
RE: For good people to do bad things...
Correct by that definition, yeah.

But by saying I don't understand what Christianity is when I argue with you about it, is implying NTS because I'm arguing with you about your views, so the basic definitions are shared amongst all Christians...by definition!

So to tell me I don't know what Christianity is, and for that to not be the NTS fallacy on your part is silly I think, because Christianity has so much variation in views, that the way you see it is a different matter entirely, and that's the issue here because the fundamentals are a whole lot more obvious, in terms of what they are and what cannot be disagreed on by other Christians, ever. What makes them Christian is belief in Christ and God, etc.

How would you judge to say that if they didn't believe in an afterlife then they weren't Christian, for example? How do you decide how many fundamentals are required to believe in for them to be a Christian, and where you draw the line between a fundamental and not a fundamental.
