Christianity

Most people think it is a religion and think it means you belong to one of the christian denominations when you go to church. What we should be thinking is that it is a lifestyle. It means we should be trying to live a life using Christ as our example and as our goal of how to live.

When i heard Christianity, I am thinking of a religion. Christianity it is a religion which based on the teachings of Jesus found in the bible. Christianity is from the word "Christ" which means the anointed one. Jesus is the anointed one from God the Father who came to the world to fulfilled the old testaments laws and prophecies. Christianity teaches that there is only one God who created everything including the universe.

Well when I hear the words Christian I think of someone who believes in Jesus Christ and his teachings. That they believe what is written in the New Testament. Now when I hear Christianity I think of one of the denominations of the religion. With Christian I think of the faith or beliefs, but with Christianity I think of the organized religion.

Organized religion vs. religion, and Christians vs. Non-Christians... Religion being the pursuit of conscientiousness having an earnst for ethics and morality to be imposed upon others. Generally exclusive, seeking to recruit through evangelistic practices. Controlling. A Christian that is properly indoctrinated into their religion becomes blind to the real truth of how the masses can be brainwashed and lead down a wide path to destruction of self or others. (ie. the War in Iraq) A true Christian is awake to the schemes and walks the path of Jesus, we know that we all have this ability. To do what is right and good for ourselves and others, we are not members of any one religion, yet seek to prove the errors and corruption that is deeply rooted into the systems that govern the masses. I have more, but this is good for a start.

I think it's a very broad term for a type of religion based on the bible, I swear there are a million different types and they like to confuse me with the different way of translating it.

I agree with the others that Christianity is a religion, made up of various sects who believe and follow Jesus the Christ. I also agree that the ideal should be more than a religion, but a way of life. I also think, dear friend, that you are sometimes too literal in reading answers to your discussions. Read between the lines. I didn't see the answer about monkeys as being off subject. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I felt the answer given meant this person sees people who are Christians are the same as fundamentalists who believe in Creationism versus evolution and stated he thinks they are nuts. So, when viewed that light, he did answser your question and also gave his opinion, which you ask for, and did it eloquently in his own language. I think a lot of people feel that all Christians are like that and don't realize that not all of us are fundamentalists. I'm glad you didn't rate him negative. I am voicing my own opinion when I say I think you came down on him a little hard. I hope it is all right for me to express this opinion to you.

All religions to me are a cult. Christianity as well, and most Christians do not practice what they preach. My step-sister was a big Christian Religious person and because of it she has ruined a lot of lives.

Thanks to a friend, I have the right words for my definition of Christianity. Christianity is a way of life, religion is a method of interpreting the Bible. Accepting Christ as one's personal Savior then practicing one's faith, developing one's own relationship with the Trinity, and showing love and kindness to others is the message I believe Jesus was trying to spread. Thanks for asking. I'm interested to know the interpretations of others.

Christianity is having a personal relationship with Jesus, it's living according to Biblical teaching, and a true Christian's identity is rooted in loving others as Jesus loved us. It's way more than a religion to me, it is honestly seeking Him every moment, every day of my life and doing all things for the glory of God.

Its a religion, and its the way of life

for me christian means the followers of chirst/jesus and christianity means the person who follows it or rather teachs others about it.
