Religion vs. Christianity: What’s the difference?

[jessieventura]

---

It's a nice analogy. But isn't swimming an action? If you only have faith in Christ and are not prepared to live your faith through actions, how can you save yourself and others?

why do you need to be saved?

isnt being saved a christian theory or principle?

do we really need to be saved?

and from what?
fire from hell?
Hell is just a concept.
Heaven is another concept.
so what is there to save?

Saving mother earth is far more believable than saving your soul.

I dont agree with this, your implying that God is dependent on the people of the church? That the word of God cannot reach the 20th century if Not for the People who compiled it? I think we Overvalued the people of the Church.

Its Gods word, if he wants it to be shared, it will be shared no matter what because he has all the power. The church was only one of his instruments.

correct! very nice bro.

bro jess, share lang sad ko gamay hope dili ka malain.
saving mother earth is okay but our soul is more important coz it is eternal. Earth already exists before ta nataw ning kalibutana. Our lifespan will only take less than hundred years. So its wise to care for the eternal things.

We will understand the true meaning of our existence if we know God's plan of salvation.
Why do I need to be saved, How does God say I can be saved, Plan of Salvation

God bless bro!

Id like to revive this discussion and share some verses

Mark 16:15-20

15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

Let them Try verse 18

Religions contravene Christianity...

[timshel0703]

TO CORRECT THE WRONG STATEMENTS HERE:

Jesus was NEVER against organized religion.

Jesus was a practicing Jew throughout his life
He upheld the good practices of the Jewish religion
He observed the feast and the rituals of Judaism
As a faithful Jew should be.
Nowhere in Scripture did he denounced his religion.
Not even when his co-religionists put him to death.

"He came to fulfill the Law,
And He came not to abolish the Law."

It is the bad practices and hypocrisy among the "religious" people that he was against.


And don't tell me there are no hypocrites among people
who are outside organized religion.



Disclaimer: not all religions are true. Only one of them must be.

[timshel0703]

If Jesus Himself practiced Judaism (RELIGION) throughout his life,

Does that mean Jesus was WRONG in following/fulfilling the Laws of his religion?

Does that mean Jesus adhered to a wrong practice by associating himself to a religion?




Sige be, katong mga ni-judge against religion.

I need YOU to judge Jesus Himself kung sakto ba iyang gibuhat.
