Question Thread

[Seeking_the_Truth]

Hello everyone! Before I begin asking questions, I am wondering if this is okay. I was born a Christian but am now a seeker. I have dabbled into other religions and right now and wondering if I made the right decision.

I would like to ask a question, then someone answer it and it will make a continuous dialogue of me asking questions and you guys answering. I have no desire to debate or teach you anything, I just want answers, and would prefer viewpoints from specific denominations (I will post this in the Catholic and the Anabaptist forum as well). Your comments will probably bring forth more questions and that is why it will be a question thread. Because I am not sure if I am a Christian, I don't know if this will be allowed, so I thought I would ask first. Am I able to do this without going against the rules?

Technically, this would go in the "Questions by Non-Christians" forum, but since you seem to be responsible about separating the points of view, maybe the mods would let this one slide. Of course, I'm not really in a position to say that.

Ask away.

I think it would be fine - go ahead and ask...

What do you mean you were born a Christian? No one is born a Christian. Babies can't make decisions for Christ. Nor do we inherit Christianity from our parents. We each must individually make a decision for Christ ourselves. If you've dabbled in other, non Chrisitan religions, no you didn't make the right decision. There's only one true faith, one way of salvation. If you've never been truly born again, that's not a right decision either, or maybe it's a lack of decision. Same results. If you're a believer in Christ, trusting his shed blood for your sins and believe he rose from the dead, I'd say you're a Christian. If you haven't believed on Him, you're not a Christian according to the Bible. I'm talking about a saving belief, a heart belief and trust, not a mental "okay, Jesus existed and died for the sins of the word" belief. You have to act upon it, put your faith and trust in Him. That's about as good as I can explain it, maybe someone else can do better.

Ask away! I do not think that any honest question here would go unanswered. Be prepared tho because the answers you get here will be from the bible and not always what you want to hear.
