Sometimes this forum makes my mind wander to weird places. One of the threads here made me think of Max Romeo’s  “I Chase the Devil”. So when I got home I looked it up on you-tube and ended up listening to a play-list of reggae all evening. Now, I’m not a big reggae fan myself and I have just very basic knowledge of what the Rastafari religion is all about.

But I wondered: would you say that it’s Christian?

The only people that are Christians are those that worship Christ.  This group worships a man other than Christ, so of course they are not Christian.  How is this even a serious discussion?

Yes, it is true, as following Jesus is not a religion. Anything calling itself a religion is simply a man-made belief system.

Sorry but no. :)

Jas. 1:27 "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."

 

Yes, that is indeed pure religion, and it describes the Christian religion.

 

This is the definition of religion:

  • re·li·gion
    rəˈlijən/
    noun
     
    1. the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.

If Christianity is not a religion, then Chrsitianity does not have belief in God and does not worship God.

By definition, Christianity is a religion.

I agree.  Just like the Pope, we are not authorized by God to determine another's salvation. 

Trump did the exact same thing in accusing Cruz of not being a Christian.  Now it has happened to him.  It is hard to feel sorry for him under the circumstances, though I personally don't care about any position the Pope takes.  It wouldn't influence me in the least for or against a political candidate.  That is especially true when you consider the Vatican has a huge wall around it.  How about this for an idea?  Build a bridge across it or tear it down.

I agree with you about the definition of religion, and have made that point in the past.  Still, the only true religion is Christianity.

It really doesn't matter who did this or who did that; the point is that no one, the Pope or any other mortal man, has the authority to judge another's heart.

So we should destroy architecture from antiquity to appease people's sensibilities today?

How does that make any sense?

 

So if he lived in this castle:

    Hohenzollern Castle

 

would you all be expecting him to tear down these walls to satisfy you?

They are not the chosen people of God.

It is more important to get right with God isn't it?  Isn't it about building bridges and not walls?

Christianity doesn't fit. It is all about relationship, about a family relationship with God, our Creator. It's a love relationship. Calling it a religion lessens what God is to man.

If anything is called a "religion", it is not of Christ.

    • 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.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • 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.
