[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]God could bend the laws of nature but why would he?

I consider myself a Christian because of my "relationship" with Christ. I don't think Christ literally rose from the dead.[b] I think he rose from the dead in our thoughts and in the religion that perpetuates his teaching.[/b]

What would you call someone who is a follower of the teachings of Jesus but doesn't believe he literally rose from the dead?[/quote]

Why would God bend the laws of nature?  Why would God do anything?  Why would God send Jesus to begin with?  In my understanding of Christian theology, Christ rising from the dead is crucial.  So my understanding of the definition of Christianity would necessitate it.  So I would not consider you a Christian, because you basically just threw out the most crucial element of the whole religion.  Tons of non-Christians appreciate Christ's teachings but do not follow the theology.

But if you feel that you have a relationship with Jesus and that you are living your life according to your conscience, everyone else's definition is not important.[/quote]Thanks for an intelligent, perceptive, and respectful response.

Whether you are Christian or not, you most certainly are enlightened in your understanding of Christianity whether you believe or not.[/quote]
