Being a Christian means to follow Jesus Christ, believing in his life, death, and resurrection, and striving to live according to his teachings. It involves both believing in the core tenets of the Christian faith (orthodoxy) and putting those beliefs into action (orthopraxy). Essentially, it's about having a personal relationship with Jesus and allowing that relationship to shape one's life
Many ppl fail to put their beliefs in action
So..... that still doesn't mean that this is not what Christianity is. People are flawed
You just said that your faith comes from what your ministers say and what your "common sense" tells you. That's a faith in men and not Christ
No i described my mintisters interpration of faith
And is that not your interpretation?
Faith is your acts of goodness are meaningful
and we circle back to the question...... where does that "faith" come from? Man? nature? Christ? Vishnu? Xenu?
Im not sure wat my ministers say
Because everyone on here isn't on the same path as you are. You have decided that political activism and action is the most important thing in life. It's not for most of us. We all have our ways to live our lives also. Your way isn't right or wrong per se, it's just one way to live your life and you have to learn to coexist with the rest of us and live life
Your definition of faith isn't what most agree with you on.
There is a lack of orthopraxy
Perhaps, but man has been this way for as long as we've walked the earth
This is probably why churches are dying
Could be. It's harder to find places that you can trust, especially in a world of technology that we have now.
Trust no one
You forgot His ascension into Heaven.
Question everything
Well I don't go that far lol. You do have to be very careful who you decide to trust; and even then you don't simply take them at their word. You search further to verify, but more importantly, you try to determine what their motives are for what they are showing/telling you.
