"Now He is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to Him" (Luke 20, 38)

Christians are chosen people!

Jelena, or anyone who cares to answer

Is it not true that the Bible is a collection of man made stories? i.e. Luke, Matthew, etc narrated the new testament.

Anyway, my view is that Christianity is dead.
There are too many different sects, bibles, interpretations, etc. They have broken up into little communities. Like rival gangs they bicker with each other.

The best thing about Christianity is Santa Clause and 'Bram Stokers Dracula'.

Anyway just my two cents

Our holy Church for over 2000 years is bassed on 3 things: The Holy Gospel, Holy Teaching and God's law.
The Holy Teaching is Church tradition which is passed on from generation to generation.
So, Storm, there are just 2 Christian's Churchs- Orthodox and Roman Chatolic who are living over 2000 years.
And yes, you are in right all the other "Christians" belong to some sects!

Look around you storms. Christians are the movers and shakers in this world. Most of the charity given to the oppressed and needy in this world are by Christian organizations. Most of the hospitals and orphanages are additionally funded by Christian organizations. More wells were dug in Africa by Chriatians that any other group including their own governments. Care, Goodwill, Salvation Army, Doctors without borders, Children of the night, and thousands of other groups that make an impact for good on this planet are all Christian organizations. The largest addiction recovery network world wide is Christian based. Who is finding homes for the poor children of the FSU? Christian adoption agencies. The church shows it's love by ACTION, not talk.

And I could go on and on..... When an earthquake rocks Mexico city, or some other disaster such as that, look and see who arrives on the scene to help. You won't find an Islamic organization, nor scores of Buddhist monks digging through the rubble. It's the Christians! It's the church! Not denominations, but those who belong to the kingdom of the living and true God and his saviour Jesus!

Forget the bickering. The glass is half full, not half empty! And the church is the only true light and salt on this planet.

May your creator reveal himself to you storms. And may you see that you were created with a plan and a puropse to fulfill.

CastleStormer,
How many drought ridden African towns have you ever been to?!? I think I've proved my point.

CastleStormer,
Name and provide references to a few Christian hospitals/orphanages funded by Christians. I think I've proved my point.

Don't get me wrong, Jesus made a lasting impression and had the right idea. But modern day Christians resemble the chaos theory, i.e. they don't know their elbows from their index fingers. The future of Christianity lies in unity. Go back to the old scriptures, unite and follow Christ.
