Originally posted by caissad4I think we can safely say that the vast majority of people calling themselves Christian do not follow the teachings of Jesus. They would certainly struggle to have internet access if they did.
After numerous postings on several forums here I am convinced that he could not possibly be a Christian. (A Pharisee maybe)
Being a non-Christian, I would be interested in hearing the opinion of Christian believers on his behaviour in these forums.
Does he behave according to the teachings of Jesus ?
However, I consider anyone who calls themselves Christian to be Christian. I think it unreasonable for you to label any such people 'Real Christian' or 'False Christian'. Whether or not they are your brand of Christian is another matter. But then given the vast array of denominations, you should not really expect every other Christian to be your brand of Christian.
Originally posted by caissad4Being a Christian and following the teachings of Jesus are very different things. Christianity is built upon the teachings of Paul and his followers rather than the teachings of Jesus.

Originally posted by caissad4It would also be interesting to hear from Christians why they choose not to answer your request. Could it be the various Bible admonitions against humans judging humans on such matters, it being God's business to judge and avenge?

Originally posted by caissad4I wonder whether he's really a human being. I suspect that he's really a Christian sounding post generating program.

Originally posted by caissad4And aren't there several other vocal Christians here that do exactly the same with other Christians over doctrinal issues incessantly when it suits them?. I wonder if JS357 might have his tongue planted firmly in his cheek.

Originally posted by FMFRJHinds claims that he is an Orthodox Christian, and that all Catholics and Christians, regardless of denomination, are quite wrong. So, it is not good enough to be merely a Christian, and follow Christ.......one MUST be an Orthodox Christian for it to count.

This forum is increasingly a wasteland. RJ used to produce posts which at least contained some sort of recognisable argument. There's no point in answering him now, but he's capable of better, as is everyone else. Possibly thinking about the question asked rather than going for mudslinging every time might produce more interesting threads.

Originally posted by rwingettFor years there was persistent speculation about whether he was an atheist poster pretending to be a Christian in order to bring 'being a disciple of Jesus' into disrepute through parody.
