Discussion about Christianity by Christians and those who are curious.
Rule #1. Anti-Christian and anti-Bible statements will not be tolerated. Constructive criticism of Christianity is OK, however.
Rule #1.1. The measure for what is considered Christian, as has been the case in the faith since the earliest days, will be the faith proclaimed in the Nicene Creed.

Do you actually believe this nonsense? Come on, an innocent man has to be killed to absolve the guilty?
Yes I do believe this.
Who can absolve a crime punishable by death but an innocent man?
Anyone here who became a Christian by choice rather than indoctrination during childhood?
I have only met one person in my life that converted to judism by choice. She studied Hebrew for it in university. Her boyfriend at the time was Jewish and an asshole. Saying he wouldn't date anyone without a master's degree. He dropped out, she dumped him, and continued her study. By then, she was in a way, accepted.
Then there are a few people turning to spirituality from both christian or atheist backgrounds. Seeking comfort.
Every other religious person I met became religious during childhood, simply because their family was. One guy even goes as far as having bible study group, but refuses to study other forms of christianity.
I didn't really become a Christian till my early 20s
Why do you think so many Christians don't act like it?
IMO, they are more influenced by the culture than by Jesus. And by culture I'm including the 'christian' culture that's kind of a warped version of what following Jesus should be like.
I'm certainly not perfect. But I really do try to follow Jesus. And there's a lot of quiet Christians doing the same.
