ok, Im basically a Believer in Christ affiliated with Born Again Believers as Jesus said in John 3:3

For 18 years I was raised as a catholic, baptised, communion, church weekly, but am no longer catholic. So I'll tell you something in a minute.

Joe let me tell you this, Many people will say they are so called Christians but biblically they aren't, and some people who are quiet maybe believers in christ. If they look like Christians, they may not be, and like wise.

They only way biblically to tell if they maybe a true born again believer in Christ is by there fruits aka there actions that have a consequence. Most of the time not by what they say or where they go to church.

Most people in the world think of sin in connection with crime and murder. But in Reality the original term of sin is from the bible. Sin in the Bible refers to anything short of God's perfection. In Romans 3:23,"All have sinned and come short of the glory of God." The "glory of God" that is absolute perfection. Sin is therefore falling short of the mark. All men are guilty of this. Sin is also spoken of in the Bible in the following ways.

-Breaking the law of God. Romans 5:13.
-Open Rebellion against God, or lawlessness. I John 3:4 (Revised Version).
-Moral impurity. Psalm 32:5.
-Evil thoughts are sinful, as well as evil deeds. Matthew 5:28.

Catholics are mainly religious people, like many other religions around the world, they depend on there religion to work and achieve there goal whatever it maybe.

Believers in Christ is not believing in a religion or being part of a religion, Its having a direct and personal relationship with God through Christ Jesus. Entering into this relationship by Accepting God's Free Gift of Eternal Life, you become saved.

There is a big difference in how religious people act, versus how they are supposed to act, as stated in the religious text they follow. Jesus preached against being judgemental hypocrites, yet his followers today are known for being just that.

This search engine will help in finding what the bible has to say about the topics that interest you. http://www.biblegateway.com/

I would suggest reading at least one of the gospels, too. They are very short.
http://www.biblegateway.com/versions/index.php?action=getVersionInfo&vid=31#books

The gospels, Matthew-Mark-Luke-John, are the stories of Jesus, and the rest of the NT is mostly the writings of Paul, who was trying to motivate pagan peoples into forming churches. This is important, because it is easy to take his writing out of context. Much of the anti-sex message of the NT is actually speaking out against the giant orgies that were frequently part of pagan worship. The Bible seems down on sex in part because the religions that competed with Christianity 2000 years ago had sex as a central part of their worship. As those competing religions died out, the church started using control over sex and personal life to empower themselves as an institution. But imho the idea that sex is bad is not in the bible. For example, the Song of Solomon is praise of sex, not condemnation. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=26&chapter=1&version=31

Warlord let me ask you something.


You believe atoms, and electrons exist, Right? You believe Electronic Signals exist, right?

But why? You can't see an atom or a actual electronic signal with your bare eye? But you have faith that they do exist.
What if its the same with Spiritual beings but we just don't have the technology of being aware of there presents.

FOr example, what if you say I don't believe the atoms or electronic signals exist? It doesn't make me hate you in any way, it make me think what makes you so special to not accept a general fact of faith. Its the same way with the bible, with God.

But Each and ever single person on this earth has the Right!.. To be wrong. Interesting.

i don't bolive neather way. Im not completly closed to the posibility, but i'm not convinced eather.

-I'm a good person, I have high moral standards that i always try and live up to. If i've "sined" then that's between me and "him" if he is there. I never wished anybody eny reall harm. If there is a god, and he is allmighthy like they say, HE KNOWS WHAT IS IN MY SOUL. I'm not perfect, because i'm not a god. If i was ment to be perfect, i'm sure he would have made me thatway.

Ha ha...what have u understood???? Not only regular sex is forbidden...but any kind of sex also. I don't knwo what christians u have met...but they weren't that religious then.

About the difference between being a catholic or christian..it's jsut that christian has a larger meaning. Catholics are chrsitians also, just that baptists, adventists and many of these opther sects consider themselves christian.

U should also know that nobody is perfect, so christians cannot be pure and do only good things. This is children story, as it doesn't matter if u are Christian or not to be loved by God.

. The Bible seems down on sex in part because the religions that competed with Christianity 2000 years ago had sex as a central part of their worship.

Bible doesn't actually say that sex is only allowded after marriage (or at least I haven't found that phrase)...but let's remember that marriages were made very differently back then and the language they use was different so we cannot expect to find the words we are using now in the Bibile. Jesus does say that it is a sin to leave ur woman, so the one who has made sex with another woman than his woman (this meaning also his first woman) has sinned.
Note that the Song of Solomon may also be a metaphor for something else, but also that if it's not a metaphor, it's more about loving someone than havin sex with her...and it's only one woman not more....I think it shows how lovers should be with each other.

I'm a Progressive orthodox Christian. I only use religion when I need it and only aspects of it that I like. I guess I'm a spiritual atheist
