That makes sense but at the same time I think it is incorrect to assume that you are able to answer for Christianity as a whole.
Peace....
Jennifer, I don't and I'll tell you why. The Bible gives us (Christians) what we need in order to preach the gospel accurately, positively and with results. The problem that you mentioned about Christianity being "wide" isn't from what the Bible teaches. That comes from men attempting to use the Bible to further their own ends.
Quote:This is because having been Christian myself, this faith consists of many groups believing and practicing many different things and one is not the same as the other. This is the problem about discussing Christianity, it has a very wide range.
If you don't mind my asking, when you considered yourself Christian, what denomination of Christianity did you practice? I'll address this issue further once you answer.
Quote:So the best you can reasonably expect to do, is answer for your own belief which may or may not jive with other Christian beliefs. I dont think it is possible to have a Christian 'spokesperson', at least not in the general sense.
LOL, I'm not trying to be a spokesperson per se, but what I am doing, by the Grace of God, is providing correct answers according to Scripture. The Bible tells us two things we must do:
2 Timothy 2:15
(15) <b>Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.</b>
We must study God's Word so that we can be mature spiritually enough to:
1 Peter 3:15
(15) <b>But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be prepared with a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;</b>
There is more I could say but I'll await your response.
