What is Christianity?
What is it really?
Is it taking the sacraments, being sprinkled and confirmed, and dying in a state of grace?
No.
Is it joining a local church, being water baptized, and tithing every Sunday?
No.
Is it going to seminary and trying to be like Christ and then going to India to work with street orphans until you die there at 87 yrs of age?
No.
Is it arguing your denomination's theology on a forum, or cutting and pasting from some website or from some commentary = the same stuff over and over as if you wrote it ??
Nope.
So why isn't any of that Christianity?
Its because you can do all that and not be a real Christian.
That's why.
Many do., and all of them who died today, are in hell right now wondering what happened.
"How can i be here"..... I was water baptized......and didnt i give to the poor.......didnt i go to church for 40 yrs, didnt i try to be like Jesus,and twist my beads and light my candles and ......didnt i do all my penance" ?????
What Happened? Why am i HERE !!!! """"
Jesus said...>"You must be BORN AGAIN".
And they were not.
So, what is it? What is Christianity.?
Christianity is Salvation.
Salvation is how God restores you to Himself, for eternity.
Christianity, is actually and simply the means by which God deals with your sin, forever., and the end result of that, is that you have become a CHRISTian.
Christianity is you joining God through the Cross of Christ.
So, if that is Christianity, then what is all the work a real Christian does, such as helping street orphans and trying to be good, and giving to the poor?
Thats : = Discipleship, and you can do all that and not be a Christian.
Just ask the people in Hell.
Here is a revelation for you, who study and want to learn the NT.
Christians are not disciples.
Disciples followed Christ around, and some of them LEFT HIM.
If you study the book of the Acts of the Apostles, you'll discover that as soon as they were known as CHRISTIANS (The Way), <B><..... they were never again referred to as disciples in the NT.
Christians are actually Spiritually Re-birthed Son's and Daughters of God, who are forgiven all their sin and have become a NEW CREATION.
God took His Holy Spirit and re-birthed your spirit into HIMSELF. "(God is A Spirit)"......and THAT is "CHRISTianity"
See that "New Creation"? That is a CHRISTian, as that is the part of you that is joined to God and is right now "seated in heavenly places" "in Christ"......if you are born again.
If you're not, then you're not a CHRISTian.
