1 Corinthians 13:11

"When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me."

The bible even tells me not to believe in fairy tales...

The "love" chapter in the bible. Right on. Must read the whole chapter 13 in it's entirety. Christ loves you brother! If only all of us on this earth would apply this to eachother, spouses, kids etc, the world would be so much better. Take care VOLatile. Hey...Go vols!

It only gets better.

But anyways... when a thread like this shows up is when it gets personal for me. This is the original reason why I first began to question god, ultimately coming to my conclusion.

Good question.

If they pick parts of it to follow are they christians?

If they call themselves Christians, who/how am I to judge whether they're true Christians or not?

Besides, most people I talk to about this say that the Old Testament is Jewish only and the New Testament is Christianity. Therefore they dismiss books like Deuteronomy and Leviticus, but they still reference Genesis, Exodus, and so on.

Unfortunately that does happen often, but not with all my friend. All I know is that I have to be one of the worst of the worst when it comes to sinning and falling short of goodness. That's why a personal Savior in Christ is the ONLY one who can save my wretched self. Christ has made me a better person but i'm still a screw up and will be til i die. Thank The Good Lord I've been forgiven by the blood of Christ because I sure can't seem to find forgiveness amongst Christians, Atheists, etc etc. In HIM I have peace. Nothing else. Oh, Yes, I love Christ with all my heart but can't tolerate "religion". Big difference.

Can I call myself a muslim without adhering to the teachings of islam?

If you have a pretty good knowledge of the Bible you can see such situations. Do I ultimately decide or judge them, no.

The Bible instructs to be on your guard against false teaching that can lead you astray. Westboro Baptist is a good example.

Please, save the evangelism for the religious forums. Otherwise, by intruding on our collective sports-related psyche, you make yourself as annoying as those Jehovah Witlesses who used to knock on my door around dinner time. We donÂ’t need no proselytizing around here. The only religion I'm committed to is the gospel of Tennessee football. Robert Neyland is my patron saint and Derek Dooley is the anointed one. Let us Bray!

(I will agree, however, that some of us should be committed.:crazy:)

You could call yourself a Muslim without adhering to ALL teaching of Islam.

But I think we agree on this point: you can't go off spouting to non-believers without first adhering fully to what you believe in.

I agree, a non believer has to be able to see the separation in the two for it to hold water.

I'd like to see one person that fully believes in the bible to be true, then I'll acknowledge him as a true believer. Deuteronomy included.

You can, as long as you understand who Jesus Christ truly was, and what he did.

If not you only believe part of it, which gets us back to the starting point.
