Remember that your own perceptions of relating to Jesus are yours personally,and do not belong to the church. If someone hounds you,just tell them you try to keep it personal.

I believe in God, but religion is to binding. There are good values in every religion. Everyone beleves differently, but when any religion is broken down, God is the basis. So to me religion is not important, and does not limit me to my worship in the lord.

I have respect for all people. If you where walking past me and fell, I would help you to your feet. Would you accept my hand if you knew that I was a Christian? I hope you would, but my point is that, what I have seen of your religion, makes me think that you wouldn't. And its not my government, or my God(that I believe is god), that influenced my feelings on this. It's a combination of what I've seen and heard of your beliefs and the actions that make me want nothing to do with your religion. As a Christian I would hope you'd take my offered hand, but I can't bring myself to believe that you would.

yes, being a Christian is about following Christ, not a religion.\n\ni think people need to feel strong about Jesus, not their religion. it erks me a bit.\n\n...and where in the Bible does it say if you cuss, say 5 Hail Mary's?

Yes, that is an interesting way of putting things.  God brings us through difficulties in order that we may know Him more and have more of His character worked in us.  Our afflictions, which are but for a moment, work for us a far, far greater weight of eternal glory (2 Corinthians 4:17)!!!

No, I have a strong relationship. There is a difference. Religion dictates belief while a relationship is nutured over time. I read the Bible and ask God to give me the details to understand. I have pastors that I mentor under, but I will challenge them if I think they are in error. It is not often, cause I got some great teachers.

I would say to be militant about it is a little strong, but Jesus says that we are to go into the world teaching and preaching the gospel, baptizing in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  So, I would think it should make a great deal of difference to you what someone believes; as he also said I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Light - NO man cometh unto the Father, but by me.  The capitals are not yelling but for emphasis and I don't know how to make emphasis without using capitals - so if you are saved and you don't feel an unction to spread the gospel, then what good is your salvation?  I'm not judging you, I'm simply posing a thought pondering question to you.  I can't tell you what is sin and what is not - Jesus can - a reference you might find helpful is James 4:17.

No,I'm fine with using Jesus' name in public.....But I have found that when I say Jesus'name,other people get very uncomfortable.......I always wondered why,I think it's because Jesus'name invokes feelings of not living right and being on the wrong path away from GOD in people.\n\nThis just proves to me that Jesus is very real,and very much Alive!

I don't know about religion but as far as relationship goes, It is very important to have a close relationship with Jesus Christ. And I mean you repent and as for forgiveness from God, and follow Christ. Christ is The Life and without Him there is no LIfe.

Its not about religion , its about accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal saviour and having a deeper relatioship with HIM everyday. Read Romans 10:9-10. That is what matters.

Absolutely.  I am not ashamed of the fact that Jesus Christ is Lord of my life.  He healed my body from cancer 13 years ago and took away a 25 year addiction to drugs, then called me to preach.  As the old song says, "I Wouldn't Take Nothing For My Journey Now."  There is not enough room to tell you the fabulous things God has done in my life.

I believe in a relationship with Jesus Christ and living chrisitanity not just a nice thing for Sunday then be a sekie the rest of the week.  I think "spiritual llife" begins with the indwelling of the holy spirit.

It's a great concept. I am leaning towards it. I'm not in religious organization nor do I go church but I do believe in God. I have been studying religious Humanism which I believe is the same as Christin humanism. I believe in the trinity but yet I see contradiction in the scriptures. In my heart, I believe that Jesus was God. I just started studying this in the past few months.

Yes I would. When God saved my soul, He put a new song in my heart. He changed my life. I want to live for Him, and Serve Him. I want to tell the world that Jesus saves, and Jesus loves you. I have a desire to work for the Lord until he calls me home. No matter what the government, or anyone else saids, I will stand for my lord,as long as i live.  Even if it means death unto me. My God died for me, and I would die for Him.

I believe in Jesus as my saviour. \nI wouldn't be able to tell it all what Jesus has done for me. \nHe saved me from darkness and put me into his glorious light, gave me a family, blessed me with material blessings and gave me life abundantly - and that is just to begin with.\n\nEye has not seen, ear has not heard, neither has entered the minds what God has prepared for those who love Him.

This is something that is causing great concern for me as a Pastor.\nThe concept of Jesus is God seems to me to be denying the Father.\nIf it is in reference to , Father, Son and Holy Ghost, saying it in that manner only serves to confuse the person you are talking to.\nAs a Pastor I worship God, the Father,  and serve HIS SON, Jesus Christ.
