Christianity Is A Religion by ATMC(f): 2:05pm On Mar 03, 2013
I have heard several times dt christianity is not a religion but d very same people dt make this statement will go on to say dt christianity is a way of life...lol. What a contradiction!
D question is what is religion? What is a way of life? One answer can serve for both and dt is CULTURE. Culture is a way of life and religion is simply culture so christianity as a way of life is culture which can be referred to as religion. Think it through.

Christianity is not religion per se but in parts religion, as in true religion as it is known and is based on all that James 1:27 is about

Christianity is not a way of life as practice today but a religion you wear on your face to differentiate you from Muslim , Hindus , pagans etc
Re: Christianity Is A Religion by ATMC(f): 2:40pm On Mar 03, 2013
@itbomb you have a point with respect to living as a christian but my point is dt christianity is a religion whether someone disputes or not, it doesn't change this fact.

@ATMC

If you want to think it or other things through.

Consider, why is it about Christianity and not about Jesus-ity?

Consider, is there any difference between Christ and Jesus?

Consider, what you have with your other half, your kid(s), dad or mum etc; is it "religion" you have with them?

Fact of the matter is, religion is a facet, it is a feature of something bigger

and true religion, a pure and genuine one acceptable to God, is about caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.

what Christianity cannot be christ. Judging from d people dt first addressed d disciples as christians, they meant followers of christ abi? But let me ask you, are you a follower of christ? Its even better to be addressed as a believer than as a christian. Or better still be called christ than christian.
