I believe in Jesus Christ as my Lord and savior. I believe that Jesus died for my sins and rose again and that's my belief. I still don't know what 'Christian' means. I'm a follower of Christ but I keep making a whole bunch of mistakes. And I thank God for forgiveness.
If Jesus Christ was who He claimed to be and He did die on a cross at a point of time in history then for all history past and all history future it is relevant because that is the very focal point for forgiveness and redemption.
I don't think that fundamentalism has anything to do with Jesus Christ. They call themselves Christians but if that's Christian count me out. Fundamentalism is built on fear and greed. They're telling you to give them your money otherwise you're going to hell.
You know I think Jesus was famous and also in a lot of trouble because he always chose people over sort of established procedures.
The moment someone chooses to trust in Jesus Christ his sins are wiped away and he is adopted into God's family. That individual is set apart as a child of God with a sacred purpose.
The New Right in many cases is doing nothing less than placing a heretical claim on Christian faith that distorts confuses and destroys the opportunity for a biblical understanding of Jesus Christ and of his gospel for millions of people.
It is from the traditional family that we absorb those universal ideals and principles which are the teaching of Jesus the bedrock of our religious faith. We are taught the difference between right and wrong and about the law just punishment and discipline.
Whoever removes the Cross and its interpretation by the New Testament from the center in order to replace it for example with the social commitment of Jesus to the oppressed as a new center no longer stands in continuity with the apostolic faith.
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?
I have a great faith in God and Jesus.
And Jesus the heart of the Christian faith is the wildest most radical guy you'd ever come across.
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.
When Christians start thinking about Jesus things start breaking down they lose their faith. It's perfectly possible to go to church every Sunday and not ask any questions just because you like it as a way of life. They fear that if they ask questions they'll lose their Christ the very linchpin of their religion.
I looked at some of the statues of Jesus they were just stones with no life. When they said that God is three I was puzzled even more but could not argue. I believed it simply because I had to have respect for the faith of my parents.
We must not sit still and look for miracles up and doing and the Lord will be with thee. Prayer and pains through faith in Christ Jesus will do anything.
People define Christianity differently. I think a large portion of our population are Christians they're not all growing in their faith they're not all active but I believe that a lot of people believe in Jesus and believe that he is their Lord and Savior.
Christianity is not the faith of the complacent the comfortable or of the timid. It demands and creates heroic souls like Wesley Wilberforce Bonhoeffer John Paul the Second and Billy Graham. Each showed in their own way the relentless and powerful influence of the message of Jesus Christ.
My family frankly they weren't folks who went to church every week. My mother was one of the most spiritual people I knew but she didn't raise me in the church so I came to my Christian faith later in life and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead.
All that I am I owe to Jesus Christ revealed to me in His divine Book.
What does God the Father look like? Although I've never seen Him I believe - as with the Holy Spirit - He looks like Jesus looked on earth.
As the leader of twelve apostles even Jesus had more executive experience than Obama.
I believe there is complete equality between men and women. And I believe those passages in the New Testament not by Jesus but by Paul that say women should not adorn themselves they should always wear hats or color their hair in church - things like that - I think they are signs of the times and should not apply to modern-day life.
I get scared to death when I see people who say they've found Jesus Christ and they're out there and I wonder who's teaching them? Who's mentoring them?
My mother was the sweetest lady who ever lived on this planet but if you tried to tell her that Jesus wasn't a Christian she would stomp you to death.
I'm already the most fortunate girl in the world so I have zero expectations for what the future will bring.
