Let me get this straight, you know "Jesus is the Christ", but do you KNOW Jesus Christ? As far as the "strange notions" that people have about how "Christians" should and should not act, MY "strange notions", as you call them, come from the BIBLE. It is a great book that might want to read some time. It will sure clear up those "strange notions" about Christians.
Yes I have a relationship with Jesus Christ. Do you?
No man on earth can look at another man and make that judgement. Only God make the judgements you are talking about.If you say you have a relationship with him, even though from my perspective, you do not, who am I to say you don't? Only God knows your heart. Its your salvation you have to work out thru fear and trembling. You can't work thru mine and I can't work thru yours. Even though your trying too. It would be poor and silly for me to look at you and tell you, you need to read the Bible. Maybe you know it better than me. Maybe you don't. I assure you, I have been thru it several times.
I gave you ananswer on what a Christian is or is not. I explained that we are all sinners. And you "oh great retreieveman" do not have authority to look at someone and say they are or they are not. You as a mere man are not perfect, as I am not either. So you do not have the authority to look at any man and put awieght on his sin as your trying to do. You don't have the authority to sitand say your sin is not as bad as my sin.
Does this make sense to you? I see you want all Christians to be lumped into one belief, one action, one way. Thats not what the Bible says. Paul in 1 Corintheans explains to us that each of our spiritual gifts are unique. Yours is not the same as mine, it maybe simular.
Sure, I have a little fun with a few on here. But, man, its the internet. Don't take it so hard, and get your feelings hurt so easy.

You are the one casting judgement here. Whether it is ethics or Christianity, you want to appear to have all the answers, and you do a pretty good job at bluffing your way through the ethics discussions. Christianity, on the other hand, is not your strong suit. I have been a born again Christian for 29 years and sure don't have all the answers myself, but so much of your last post was nonsense. I have been through several sermans on spiritual gifts and have never heard a single pastor mention "internet heckler" as one of the spiritual gifts.
This the "deer hunting" section, but you appear to only like the controversial and vague topics. If you are really a hunter, why not post a picture in the "biggest buck" thread or something that is truly hunting related. Here is mine. This is my 2004 Oklahoma muzzleloader buck that I killed on family land in Alfalfa county. He gross scored 178".
