[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. I think he rose from the dead in our thoughts and in the religion that perpetuates his teaching.

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]

It's all bullshit, imo, and I'm a product of Catholic schools.

But here are my thoughts on the brainwashing.

If you are a Christian, you MUST believe Jesus actually died and rose again.

Why, you ask?

b/c in order to save our souls he HAD to die and descend into hell to free the trapped souls first - equal opportunity Jesus who set a precedence for the rest of the "death cases"

[quote]4. Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried: He descended into hell: [/quote]

THAT'S the key.  That move allowed the trapped souls to be judged.

[quote]7. From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead: [/quote]

TRUE Christians must embrace these beliefs.  You are not a true Christian by definition, PP.  You're more like a Jew - who believed Jesus was a great man, an inspirational prophet - but no more divine than Jerry Seinfeld.
