Comments: I'm not Christian because religion is just a means to control you. Christianity has good intentions but it keeps you blind and unaware to mistreatment and greed even among those who preach that you should be doing this or that and they do the opposite themselves.

Why I Am Not Christian Revealed Bible The

Are there any real Christians? The fundamental basis for one to rightfully call themselves "Christian" certainly should, at the minimum, include following the basic teachings of Jesus Christ.

I believe the core of Jesus' message can be found in just a few sentences from The Bible:

international QUOTE
"Love your enemies and be kind to those that hate you"

"It is harder to lead a rich man through the gates of heaven than it is to lead a camel through the eye of the needle"


And

international QUOTE
"Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone"


Of course, there are several other things that Jesus said, which seem important in discerning what it truly means to be a follower of Jesus, but I think we need to at least commit to those fundamental principals before we give too much weight to other, more confusing and perhaps contradictory or vague passages of The Bible.

Jesus also tells us that if someone steals from us, that not only should we not punish the robber, we should not even try to recover what was stolen. Similarly he says, if a man should ask us for our shirt, that we should not only give him our shirt, but our jacket also.

I believe Jesus warned us of the "False prophets" and "Anti Christs" such as those that preach "Prosperity gospel".

Most churches, particularly "TV preachers" seem not only quite contrary to the teachings of Jesus Christ, but I would go so far as to say that they are the work of Satan, to mislead the faithful away from true Christianity.

Here is a good resource regarding that, a web article titled "The Surprising Sayings of Jesus Christ"

From that link [..]:

international QUOTE

"[i]Matthew 24:4-5 would be: “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many shall come claiming to represent Me, saying that I [Jesus] am the Christ, yet shall deceive many.”

That is, they would proclaim Jesus as the biblical Messiah and would claim to be His representatives—but they actually would be part of a massive religious deception.

It is these people—false preachers and teachers claiming to be Christian—who would proliferate and deceive ever more people as the end of the age neared.

The apostle Paul later affirmed, in a Christian context, that “evil men and imposters will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived” (2 Timothy 3:13). So not only do they deceive others. These false teachers themselves are deceived."

Comments: I am not a declared Christian but I believe many of the things that Jesus taught are true and good. The interpretation of what he said is where the conflict lies. I try to be as Jesus taught without aligning myself to any particular religion or doctrine. The ability to be good is in all of us.

I believe you would find a good Christian, if they were to keep the greatest commandment.
Which is answered by the words of Jesus found in Matthew 22:36-40.

international QUOTE
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”.

Perhaps we should amend "Love thy neighbor as yourself" to include "Unless they are building Iphones and cheap stereo equipment for slave wages" just so that we can all remain consistent.

Why I Not Christian

I’m not a Christian any longer because I realized I didn’t have a good reason for believing in the Bible.
