Whoa, when did the rules change on what a Christian is? Last I knew True Christians(tm) are those saved through God’s mercy.

Now you guys want to add other stuff? God’s mercy isn’t enough anymore?

Thank you for reminding me why I quit organized religion.

and what do you do? Live in a cave, burn incense, hum and look for “inner peace” as your path to heaven? Christianity, by title, means follower of Christ. If you are not, you are not a Christian whether you are a member of “organized religion” (your term) or not.

You quit elementary logic at the same time?

No one here is arguing that one who committed an abortion cannot be, upon repentance, cleansed of that sin. Of course she can.

The question is, can one be pro-abortion and at the same time be Christian? The answer is no, just like one cannot be atheist and at the same time Christian. The issue is not sin, but advocacy of sin as a matter of belief.

Doesn't Jesus say He was founding a Church on the Rock, Peter (Peter=Kephas=Rock)? Is this the organized religion you quit?

I'm not needling you, ksen. Really, I'm not. I'm just curious.
