That is because some have not come to realize it is a matter of personal conviction and always will be.    Another person cannot "fulfill one own's personal convictions" only they can do that for  themselves.  A person has to work out their "OWN" salvation with fear and trembling.   Oh well I guess one day it will dawn that a person is responsible for their own conscious toward God and toward man in their personal manner of dress be it outward or inward.  Until then the mystery of the games remain unsolved.  How far will we go?  Does one not know as a new creature in Christ what is  right and wrong within themselves without the advice of others?  There comes a time in every believers heart where you have to choose on your own how you will walk before the Lord.  It is called a place of maturity.  It's your choice and no one else's to make.

If not in this lifetime surely it will be too late in the next. There comes a time one has to just grow up in the Lord and put away childish things.

Christianity is a religion where those who are part of it worship a person named Jesus Christ.  It is a religion.  It just happens to be the one true religion.  If you disagree with that, how do you explain the verses I posted from the book of James? 

Christianity is not about signing up for a religion. Christianity is about being born into the family of God (John 3:3). It is a relationship. Just as an adopted child has no power to create an adoption, we have no power to join the family of God by our own efforts. We can only accept His invitation to know Him as Father through adoption (Ephesians 1:5Romans 8:15). When we join His family through faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus, the Holy Spirit comes to live inside our hearts (1 Corinthians 6:19Luke 11:132 Corinthians 1:21–22). He then empowers us to live like children of the King. He does not ask us to try to attain holiness by our own strength, as religion does. He asks that our old self be crucified with Him so that His power can live through us (Galatians 2:20Romans 6:6). God wants us to know Him, to draw near to Him, to pray to Him, and love Him above everything. That is not religion; that is a relationship.

Then I must ask you the same question BoPeep.  How do you explain the scriptures I posted from James?  I never claimed that "Christianity is about signing up for a religion."  I said it is a religion.  You can deny that all you want, but you are denying scripture. 

 

If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.  Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.  James 1:26,27

 

These are works by the way.  This same book of James says the following in chapter 2, verses 24,26

 

Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.  For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

 

From Webster's Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary, here is the definition of religion:

 

1  A set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, esp. when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.  2.  A specific fundamental set of beliefs and practices generally agreed upon by a number of persons or sects:  the Christian religion; the Buddhist religion.

 

To me, those who are arguing against Christianity being a religion are acting in a religious manner when they do so.  This is a religious argument they are making.  When people make statements like, "Christianity is not a religion," they are doing so to try to make a distinction from other religions.  There is no need for that.  You don't have to make the claim Christianity is not a religion to set it apart from everyone else.  We are different because we are serving a risen Savior, and others are serving people who are dead and buried or objects, or the creation.  We are a religion, but we are the one true religion, and we serve the one true and living God. 

I will go with what I have posted and be firm on that.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
