[QUOTE="Fredkrueger100, post: 3364646, member: 24577"] No One in the Old Testament claimed to be Christians. That word didn’t even exist before Christ came. And to be clear, I wrote a paper in college on the differences between Islam and Christianity. And I read a lot of the Quran. I’m no expert on either. But I know enough. And I sure know enough of the Bible to back up my beliefs and how I live my life. I don’t care what people did hundreds and thousands of years ago. And some will say Christians killed Muslims during the crusades. Catholics ARE NOT Christians. It another made up denomination. There is only ONE true Church. And scripture tells exactly how it is to be set up and ran. But I will agree with you that people on both sides try and believe what they want. I don’t do that. I go by what scripture says, period. If I ain’t told to do something I ain’t doing it. And if I am told to do something then I will. Sadly Christianity has been severely damaged because of people’s ignorance of the gospel and because corrupt men out of selfishness started twisting scripture to support what they want to believe. That is why there are so many different denominations. And sadly many that say they are Christians aren’t. The Bible is clear on how to be saved. And it is NOT by “asking Jesus into your heart”. That is the biggest lie ever created in Christianity. Sadly millions have and are falling for it. Many would rather rely on traditions rather than the truth. Acts 2:38 blatantly lays out how to truly be saved. It also shows how to receive the Holy Spirit. And if a person hasn’t done that then they aren’t truly saved and aren’t a Christian. Jesus himself also told how to be saved. We have to be “born again of water and the spirit “. He is referring to being baptized”. After all, if you put these two scriptures together you can easily see what the truth is. And there are more scriptures as well. I just like to use these two because they are so easy to understand.
