Christians must share their faith in obedience to the Great Commission because we are only seeing the fruit of sin this side of death.
Was the real Jesus of history one and the same as the Christ of faith whom we read about in the New Testament and worship in the church? Was Jesus really raised from the dead? Is he really the divine Lord of lords?
The enemies of the Christian religion and the Law of God confuse law with faith.
Dawkins considers that all faith is blind faith and that Christian and Muslim children are brought up to believe unquestioningly. Not even the dim-witted clerics who knocked me about at grammar school thought that.
Let it ever be remembered that genuine faith in Christ will ever be productive of good works for this faith worketh by love as the apostle says and love to God always produces obedience to his holy laws.
I realized that my truest passion was for helping people change through faith in a higher power. That meant for me belonging to the church. Using my abilities to bring Christian doctrine to a postmodern world.
I'm a Christian. I go to church when I can. I was raised Baptist. I went to a Lutheran school. I'm a nondenominational practicing Christian. I have a lot of faith.
As a Christian there is no other part of the New Right ideology that concerns me more than its self-serving misuse of religious faith.
All of my children are ideologically and politically in sync with me they all have authentic Christian faith. It's something I'm very grateful for.
The best way is to say that as a Christian for me the essence of Christian faith is that you treat others as if you wish to be treated.
Christ does not save us by acting a parable of divine love he acts the parable of divine love by saving us. That is the Christian faith.
'The Purpose-Driven Life' is not just a mega-bestselling work of Christian faith it is the thing that every voter secular or not yearns for.
And Jesus the heart of the Christian faith is the wildest most radical guy you'd ever come across.
Christianity is not about religion. It's about faith about being held about being forgiven. It's about finding joy and finding home.
Remember the sufferings of Christ the storms that were weathered... the crown that came from those sufferings which gave new radiance to the faith... All saints give testimony to the truth that without real effort no one ever wins the crown.
The most that one of Jewish faith can do - and some have gladly done it - is to say that Jesus was the greatest in the long succession of Jewish prophets. None can acknowledge that Jesus was the Messiah without becoming a Christian.
I grew up in a Ukrainian Catholic-turned-Christian household and that is my family's faith.
It is no longer a question of a Christian going about to convert others to the faith but of each one being ready to listen to the other and so to grow together in mutual understanding.
I don't know what religious people do. I kind of wished I'd been a Christian with the blind faith that God is doing the right thing. As a Buddhist you feel like you have more control over the situation and that you can change your karma.
Ever since the Crusades when Christians from western Europe were fighting holy wars against Muslims in the near east western people have often perceived Islam as a violent and intolerant faith - even though when this prejudice took root Islam had a better record of tolerance than Christianity.
For my future I have no concern and as a true philosopher I never would have any for I know not what it may be: as a Christian on the other hand faith must believe without discussion and the stronger it is the more it keeps silent.
I am an Episcopalian who takes the faith of my fathers seriously and I would I think be disheartened if my own young children were to turn away from the church when they grow up. I am also a critic of Christianity if by critic one means an observer who brings historical and literary judgment to bear on the texts and traditions of the church.
While we remain a nation decisively shaped by religious faith our politics and our culture are in the main less influenced by movements and arguments of an explicitly Christian character than they were even five years ago. I think this is a good thing - good for our political culture.
