Personally, I think you should only be able to claim Christianity if you go to church regularly, or at least pray a lot. I know plenty of people who claim to be Christian but haven't seen the inside of a church since some cousin got married.

I've probably just offended someone haven't I? Sorry, just IMO.

Not offended, but Jesus never built a church, according to the Biblical account. In fact, he never once indicated that building a church was a good idea.
In Luke 21 we read,
Some of his disciples were remarking about how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts dedicated to God. But Jesus said, 6"As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another; every one of them will be thrown down."

The point being, it's just a building. It is temporary. It will go away. The final temple is man's body, the very image of God.

So, I think that Jesus would have a different definition of Kristjun (using the middle-eastern transliteration, since the religion is from that region) than you.

What a delima...who to believe. You or Jesus.



Good thing I am Jewish.
