What do you mean? The most basic belief and central belief in Christianity is believing that Jesus was God on earth, was crucified, and came back. That's the fundamental definition of being Christian lol. I don't think I've ever met a Christian who doesn't believe in Jesus. That would be interesting lol.
Since I'm not a such Christian I'll let it go. I thought we did have such a member and recently. I believe she went by "cercatorius". I've PM'd her to clarify if she is willing.
Well hopefully she can clarify here and explain what she means. I'd be interested to hear about her views. I've never known of a Christian who doesn't actually believe in Christ lol.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
