[quote]The Catholic Church promoted the Apocrypha about 30 years after Martin Luther debunked it with the Ninety-five Thesis explaining their fallacy since their entire salvation doctrine had no scriptural basis: They promoted salvation by works, the forgiveness of sins by priests, the celibacy of the Catholic priesthood, the deistic homage toward Mary, the holiness of the Pope, and more.[/quote]Arguments about scripture within Christianity have nothing to do with defining someone as Christian, That is why there are different denominations because not everyone practices the same, but nevertheless they all believe in God and Jesus which makes them a Christian.[quote]So Satan's a Christian? I didn't know that.[/quote]If he believes in God and Jesus than yes.[quote]Bigotry or alienation within a group=Sectarianism.[/quote]Which is what your doing.[quote]Replier can't read titles.[/quote]I can read your title fine, your whole post is a pitiful attempt at debunking Evolution.[quote]Minority? I argue that specifically Mormonism, Charismatics or Pentacostals, and Catholicism are false forms of Christianity. The majority of everybody else's dogma is line with the Bible, which is the guide on how to become a Christian. So how am I still in a minority? [/quote]Your a minority of people who deny those groups as Christians, not a minority denomination.[quote]Did you take a poll? A source? Seriously, are you for real?[/quote] If you feel its necessary than sure, again I wasn't saying your a minority denomination, I was saying your a minority of people who hold the belief that other denominations aren't Christian.[quote][You're] the one that needs to substantiate your point because most people don't agree with you on that or evolution.[/quote]"sigh" Have you read any of the replies of your post, virtually everyone agrees that Evolution is a fact LOL, but sure I will make another poll and get other sources.[quote]Because most people disagree? That is not a reason to state why one is wrong, and again, it is not a majority.[/quote]No, but it holds value and yes it is a majority, but as usual you live your life in denial & that you are the absolute truth and have knowledge of everything.[quote]Is the reason, "To get an education"?[/quote]Thats not even a relevant question.[quote]Because? You picked the Ninja because he provided why they are all the same. Not why they are all different. [/quote]Similarities and differences don't matter that is the definition of Christianity[quote]You already had a preset answer in mind. [/quote]Way to make assumptions.[quote]All you wanted was your opinion coming out of another's mouth. What's wrong with that? Your answer should be in line with the Bible, not by opinion.[/quote]It is, "Crucial to understanding the Bible definition of a Christian is the fact that all human beings have been sinners, including ourselves (Rom. 3:23). The penalty for sin is permanent death (Rom. 6:23). [b] A Christian is one who has come to realize that he or she had been under that death penalty and in need of a Savior. A Christian understands that Jesus Christ paid that penalty by dying on the cross when He was completely innocent of any sin[/b] (II Cor. 5:21; I John 2:2; 4:10; R " All christians fit that definition.[quote]So does a dictionary, but it doesn't mean I'm going to use it to verify someone's salvation because of Matthew 7:13 and 7:21.[/quote]Salvation isn't relevant in defining who is Christian.
