Bible Question:
Dear Hank; When I use the term "Bibical Christianity" I mean that which is in full agreement with Scripture. Not in full agreement with me, or any certain denomination. But in full agreement with God's word. |
Bible Answer: New Creature:I hope you don't mind me entering into you question about "Biblical Christianity". There are some, for instance the General Association of Regular Baptist, who openly say in their folders about what they believe, that American Baptist's are any thing but Biblical. So it is with other non-denominational or extreme fundamentalist who believe that any other church type other than theirs is not Biblical. Neither belief of which do I condem or condone. This is just a small example of some groups idea, of what "Biblical Christianity" would mean to these groups. I do not agree with their belief about who is a "Biblical" Christian, and who is not. I am tring to point out that the meaning of "Biblical Christianity" is understood in the way a person, church, or non-or, denomination understands what exactly the Universal Bride of Christ is. I am more ecumentical than some, and less than others. I do not believe in universalism! I personally believe the Universal Church to be wide, incorporating believers of many non-, or denominations. The only true church is one in which Jesus Christ is devine and risen. I strongly, with all my soul, believe the most important issue for a "Biblical Christianity" is stated in Galations 5:6, especially the last part which says "The only thing that counts is Faith expressing itself through love" NIV. Beliving as I do, then there has always been "Bibical Christanity" and at no one period of time, or person has made a significant change to be totally "Biblical Christianity" except the Lord Jesus Christ. I do not think that the further we get from the time of Christ to now, that orthodox "Biblical Christianity" has become weaker, in deed the very opposite, in my opinion. This is just my dimes worth, I hope it gives you food for thought. justme |
