For crying out loud, TT. I don't know what your gripe with religion is, but if you don't like what someone has posted try ignoring it. What did she ever do to you other than post something that annoyed you? Certainly nothing that deserved your vitriolic response to her.
If anyone's throwing around personal attacks around here, it's you. -
@dinsquared
Well put, well said, and bang on!
but personally, I come into these religion threads just to read TT's replies (some sadly deleted). Pure entertainment reasons, really. Its amazing to see how someone could spend so much time pointing fingers at anyone who has the word religion/christian/god as the thread title.
If you say "I'm a Christian" then BOOM! there you go, TT will come, go bang bang, request you to visit a psychiatrist, post a quote by someone who blames Christians, then give you the link to a god is imaginary website and finally blame you for attempting to divulge non believers into the conversation. Its a pity.

What's so special about being a Christian? Why do they have to tell the world about their religion? Could it be they are insecure in their beliefs and that's how they compensate?

Why do they have to tell the world about their religion?
Some Christians, having read Matthew 28: 16-20, "The Great Commission", have misinterpreted it to mean that they have to go around shouting their heads off about Jesus, even if everyone else is bored.
Such people, though many in number, are not representative. They do not even appear to know that the passage is almost certainly a later addition to the text, no doubt added by a monk, who felt that the Gospel's ending (So they took the money and did as they were directed. And this story has been spread among the Jews to this day.") looked inconclusive and undramatic.
Besides, the passage could equally well be taken to mean, "Show the nations, by your example, the benefits of following Jesus."
This interpretation would involve more emphasis on living the life, rather than shouting the shout. -
satijournal said
"The Jews supposedly were "chosen" to spread the word of god. Then Christians decided that, no, they were the "chosen" people, and they not only were going to spread the word -- they were going to convert everybody, even if it meant slaughtering them. Nice."
Not quite the case. The Jews were the chosen race of God for His Son to come out of. The early Christians were Jews who believed that Jesus was the Messiah that the Jewish people were waiting for.
The early Christians did not go around "slaughtering" anyone. In fact it was they themselves that were slaughtered for their faith by the Romans pre-Constantine.

How does one really get certified to be a Christian blogger? Does God or Jesus get any say in it? What if someone is a really bad blogger? Can they still get certified or does God have standards for grammar and regular updating? I bet there is a missing Gospel that would explain all of God's laws on blogging.
-
So if you're a certified Christian blogger, that makes me a CERTIFIED Psychic blogger - and we all know how THAT would be received in the Christian community if I were to announce that loud and clear. (Well, I am not certified, of course. How can I be? ... but saying what you say is like saying, "If you're the Queen of Sheba, than I am King Tut.") Whatever makes you feel better, I guess. And to educatedvagabond: I wonder what that gospel would be called? Lol

I wonder what that gospel would be called?
Suggest: The Blogspel According To Zark.
In the beginning was Microsoft Word. And the Word was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of virtual reality.
And behold, there came forth Google, the great and powerful. And Google looked upon the Word, and was sorely troubled.
So Google said, Let there be brought forth a mighty Search Engine. And it was so. And the multitudes, when they gazed upon the Search Engine, were filled with fear and trembling, and they fell down upon their knees, and worshiped, calling out, Praise be to the almighty Google, and to the SEO, and to the holy keyword, which was, and is, and ever shall be, to the ages of ages.
And lo, their voice was heard, even unto the uttermost corners of the Earth... -

Not to worry some off-beat believer will soon erroneously inform everyone that atheism is a religion, don't you know? If pressed hard enough they may even print out some certified specious and hateful material defaming non-believers parallel to that which was the centerpiece of the Proposition 8 vote.
-
Are you talking professionally certified as a non-believer? If not, I could probably whip-up a PDF certificate and e-mail it to you.
This whole thread begs the question, do people who receive certificates for their religious / non-religious beliefs frame them and hang them in their offices like doctors, lawyers, etc.?
Also, why this topic keeps coming up is beyond me. I am willing to bet that there are a number of Christians who are regulars on BlogCatalog that don't take every opportunity that they can find to yell "Look at me I believe that Jesus is the Messiah!" I mean, really, if every group started doing this there would be no topics that didn't relate to religion. -

To be certified in something, you have to be tested or complete some kind of project. So we'll have to come up with a test. If you answer yes to any of these questions, you fail:
1. Do you believe the universe is only 6000 years old?
2. Do you believe Jesus's mother was a virgin when she gave birth?
3. Do you believe that if you claim Jesus as your savior, you'll go to an imaginary place called heaven?
4. Do you believe gay marriage is a greater sin than invading a sovereign nation and killing about 100,000 of its residents?
Feel free to add to the test.

Mister2Mike....this was probably not the response you expected but don't be intimidated. Jesus said in Luke 6:22,23 "Blessed are you when men hate you and ostracize you, and cast insults at you and spurn your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man. Be glad in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven".
I'm also a christian and not ashamed to let my voice be heard.-
@jflower36
Your avatar appears on mister2mike's BC profile page and hovering over it reveals that your visited 18 minutes ago. Therefore you have read this statement on his profile page I'm a part-time blogger, part-time enginneer, part-time call center TL but a full-time minister of the Lord!
From my POV your phony attempt to use this thread to attempt to pacify an minister with scripture based on your allegation of intimidation is disingenuous.

"when men hate you and ostracize you, and cast insults at you and spurn your name as evil"
None of us hate mister2mike. We haven't ostracized him from the community or cast insults, or called him evil. We are, however, expressing our responses in intelligent if slightly entertaining ways.
This reminds me of the race card. I say, "Please, stop pulling that race card!" Here soon, it might turn into, "Please stop pulling the 'everybody-hates-you-because-your-christian' card".-
@ariwat
This reminds me of the race card. I say, "Please, stop pulling that race card!" Here soon, it might turn into, "Please stop pulling the 'everybody-hates-you-because-your-christian' card".
I agree with you and observe that playing of this card is a tired and useless tactic. However, many Christians are experts at playing the victim role and using it as shield to hide behind. I was raised in the Christian fundamentalist evangelical milieu and we children were drilled in how to do this persecuted victim posturing and shielding in Sunday school sessions and at Jesus camps. I clearly recall how very difficult it was to give up the addiction to using it was.

Hi ariwat, I saw a lot of insults thrown around. And I never told anyone to stop if you noticed. You are free to throw your insults, just as I am free to reply to them.

Hey, I'm a certified Christian blogger too. I'm also a certified Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Shinto, Zoroastrian, Atheist, Agnostic, Theist, Monotheist, Polytheist, Incan, Mayan, Voodoo, Wiccan, Pagan, Scientologist, Hari Krishna, Buddhist, Lemmy, Branch Davidian, Heaven's Gate blogger too.
The paperwork is easy and they don't check. -
Timethief are you baiting me?
I supposeI will take the bait. No, I don't see myself as a victim and there are no tears going on...I'm just not intimidated. I don't see the passive aggressiveness either...I've been very upfront in where I stand. I happen to like the people here on BC, including you Timethief. I enjoy the discussions and find them stimulating. Any other questions for me timethief?
-
Still not intimidated Timethief. As you can't see my heart you really don't know what my intentions are. But I still like you. So there!

Unlike the situation of being unable to establish the birth, date and burial place of Jesus, there is no question that about the existence birth or death, or resting place of the body of the Shakamuni Buddha. Buddhist werinings predating the alleged birth of Jesus by about 500 years written in Sanskrit contain teachings which are common to both Buddha and Jesus.
* metta = selfless, unconditional love and good will toward all beings (loving kindness)
* karuna = compassion (respect, acceptance, forgiveness)
* mudita = altruistic joy filled with peace and contentment (appreciative joy at the success and good fortune of others)
* dana = authentic generosity (charitable giving of the self and sharing of possessions, donation)
* sila = abstaining from physical and vocal actions that cause harm to oneself and others
* uppekka = equanimity (an inclusive state of open mind free of attachment, aversion, bigotry, craving, ignorance and intolerance)
What I do not accept is Christians using this forum as a pulpit. I'm off to do the weekend shopping.

Holy mackerel, this is getting a bit heavy!!!
Either I've missed something, or there is a lot of background history going on in this thread. Like it's part of some bigger debate?
It's just a bit puzzling that when someone simply says "I am a Christian", you get some people immediately accusing them of preaching and evangelising.
Like I just said, maybe I missed something there... -
Is there any "Christian Blogger Certification Body" so that we can be certified? Say 'Quality Management System ISO 9001' certification body like that?
-
I think some people are misunderstanding what Christianity is about. It is the job of a christian to spread the word of god and try to convert non believers into believers. A geninue christian is not doing this because they hate you, they are doing it because they have love for you. Even as a non christian this is something I can appreciate and respect. Obviously the way the message is put across will determine what the response is.
Ultimately I see nothing wrong with anyone proclaiming they are Christian, Muslim, Atheist, Buddhist or whatever.-
@Tonyboy
I agree that there is nothing wrong with proclaiming one's faith. I believe that there is a proper time and place for many things, I'm just not convinced that this was the best manner in which to do it.
This is a discussion thread which - at least to me - implies that the creator of the thread is trying to start a discussion. I fail to see a question in the initial post, so if feels more like attention seeking.
Also, personally, I don't believe that it is the job of Christians to spread Christianity. Many Christians believe that everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and some even believe in universal salvation which negates the necessity of converting anyone.
@mister2mike
This is meant as constructive criticism not as an attack...I don't think that this is the proper place for these dialogs and that is why many people have not replied favorably. There are many communities where people are encouraged to share there beliefs, and even on BlogCatalog, I have seen threads asking people to state their beliefs on various religious topics.
You may want to search the discussions for "life after death" or "afterlife" as this topic seems to come up regularly. Or, instead of starting a discussion with "Hi, I am a Christian", you may want to start with "This is what I believe about xyz_religious_topic, what do you believe". This would most likely meet with a much more favorable response.

I took almost 10 minutes to read all your comments, I mean Mister2mike was simply certifying her faith and doing this she wanted to start a normal discussion, It's true one is free to write and to think wathever, but usying respect without insulting people. It's quite sad to see that a person reply with a certain hanger. I'm not christian, I'm still can't find the right way on religion, who knows wheather I will find my way, but this does not mean that I have to judje and speak from the top, who Am I to do so?

Honestly, I didn't expect for this discussion to hmm be somewhat a "cat fight" between christians and those who are not. Don't take me wrong, i respect all of you especially timethief,Agi8tr, Satijournal and all others who "hated" and disliked my post. I respect your opinons and you're entitled to it. I hope you can too. I can't understand why you need to criticize "destructively" what I said and what i believe in. What do you get out of it?
-
Respect for others' opinions...what a concept. It's so interesting how the horrible bad no good Christian has been nothing but polite, if a bit overbearing, in her post, while everyone else seems to feel the need to attack her in the name of their own hangups about religion.
Signed: Certified Non-Christian -
I think it was the word "certified" that created such a reaction, firstly because the immediate response was, "Certified by whom?", and secondly because there has been so much in-fighting of late on religious and tangential topics that people are on edge about it. I thought the "announcement" silly but harmless, and some of the comments equally silly. Could things have but stayed on that tack!

Dear certified Christian blogger..

Let me also say God Bless You! I don't care if you won't agree but God loves you. God loves you even before you were born. He said in his book:
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
16 your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to [b] me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them! -
OOOH, check out the related links!
There's one about whether the Bible is a source of sound moral instruction!-
I'm not wasting energy on this thread.
I called it the first comment that I made and which was removed.
I called it again here www.blogcatalog.com/discuss/entry/i-am-a-certified-christian-blogger#commen...
IMO this is yet another attempt to engage non-believers in lengthy discussion in forum threads, so they adorn the front page of BC and Google for days on end, and attract Christian lurkers.

It's good to tell the world that you're a christian blogger. It shows your love to God and to tell the other people that they need also to be like you. : )

But telling, pronouncing and blogging are not enough. We have to bring our faith in action in our every dimension as human beings: social, cultural, political, economic and environmental. Or else, "We are like mild, soft winds that blow but bring no nourishment to any living thing." (Hildegard of Bingen)
"Faith" is a tranforming action word and and must touch the totality of man towards integral development...-
Charity and justice are two imperative virtues for ALL people of faith and not only exclusive to Christians. Charity is an expression of love to others manifested in the benevolence or generousity to the needy, especially of victims of natural calamities and social injustice. Justice, as its utmost objectivity, constitutes the decisive criteria of morality in human relationship...

John12:49 For I have not spoken of Myself but of My Father who has sent Me. He gave Me a Commandment of what I should say and what I should speak. 2Corithians4:18 Look not at the things which are seen but at the things which are not seen for the things which are seen are temporal but the things which are not seen are eternal, walk by faith not by sight. 1Corithians14:33 For God is not the author of confusion. Hosea11:9 I am God and not human. Numbers23:19 God is not human, He does not lie nor is He Son of human beings that He should change His mind. John1:18 No one has seen God at anytime the only begotten Son who is in the bosom of His Father has declared Him. John8:54-55 Jesus answered, If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing it is My Father's honor of whom you say that He is God yet you have not known Him but I know Him. If I should say I know Him not I shall be a liar like you but I know Him and keep His commandments. John7:16-18 And He said, My doctrine is not Mine but His that sent Me. If any person will do His Will they shall know of the doctrine whether it be of God or whether I speak of Myself. Whosoever that speaks of themselves seeks their own glory but they that seek His glory that sent them no unrighteousness is in them. Acts4:18-19 But those things which God before had showed by the mouth of all His prophets that Christ should suffer He has fulfilled. Repent you therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out when the time of refreshing shall come.
Note: In order for conversion to take place you must pray to God Almighty, name your sins in the Name of His Son, Jesus Christ and then be baptized in the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost so that your sins are washed away and you receive God's gift which ensures you that you are of God.
John4:23 But the hour comes and now is when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth for the Father seeks such to worship Him. -
Baptism with out repentance first is just baptism with water but the baptism with the Holy Ghost comes with repentance first. God requires that we name our sins that we can remember to Him in the Name of His Son and then be baptized. Test for yourself if this is the truth for He does give us confirmation. Ears that Hear and eyes that see!!

Does anybody know if end-times prophecy is still a big deal in the evangelical community? I have been out of touch with current evangelical thought about prophecy the past decade or two so since the Soviet Union went away. I was wondering what are the latest theories? Who is supposed to be the Anti-Christ nowadays? I heard Obama is the Anti-Christ. If so, what is the biblical support for the idea?

I am a Christian songwriter, and I have begun posting a few thoughts on my blog. Please drop by and check it out. I also would like to say that "replacement theology" is erroneous. The Christian church is a branch grafted on to the original Jewish vine. If we understood our Jewish roots better, we would have much less confusing theology today.

The 'cacophony' that follows when a Christian posts who they are, or what they believe, on this board actually strengthens my faith. It makes no other sense other than it is supernatural.
Mr. Mike, a certain verse about 'casting pearls' keeps popping into my mind.
And I am a sinner saved by grace through Christ's shed blood on the cross. Through faith in Jesus Christ, who rose again the third day, I have passed from death unto life.
What a blessed hope to be scorned by so many.
And for those who have been hurt by 'religion', perhaps you should take your eyes off of fallible human beings and, instead, cast them on God.

There is nothing wrong with being a Christian as there is nothing wrong with having a spiritual view like mine. Let's embrace each other's differences and accept it. The voice of moderation is always important so that we can exist together.The ancient Celts knew ,that for the survival of their culture they have to adapt to Christianity.So I say it doesn't matter.We are all the same.
