God proving himself to CV? If God appeared to me, you can be damn straight I'd be devoted.
I've heard the very voice of Jesus. What he had to say was a very simple answer to a question I had been pondering, yet in His answer, much faith and conviction was granted to me.Quote:

I have experiences on a daily basis that speak toward Jesus Christ being my God a savior, as well as a real man, now seated at the right hand of the Father.
Again I'll say, I'm not a Christian because it sounded like a good idea or because I need to believe in something after we die, but because Jesus has proven His existence to me. I cannot show this to anyone else, and I cannot make anyone else a believer as a result, but I know Jesus is God, and my loving savior.
Ugh, I know God "proved" himself to CV, but that has nothing to do with Christianity, unless he said something specific relating to it.
Just let the man answer the question!
As you were saying? :p
Sounds to me like you're not "Catholic." But you are most certainly Christian. As evedenced here:Quote:

Anyways, I'm sort of a Christain. I'm not really a practicing Christain. I'm still learning the religion, and will be until I graduate HS. (2 years left; Catholic HS) I don't go to Church, I don't take the Eucharist seriously when I do, and stuff like that.
This is all that matters. ;)Quote:
I guess you can say I'm a deist who believes that Jesus Christ was in fact God.
Not everything contained in the Bible is fact, and errors abound. But it's not a matter of reading the Bible and believing in God. It's about faith. The Bible can foster, bolster, lend itself to, and magnify faith, but it's all about faith in the end.Quote:
On the note of the Eucharist, the Bible says that It is the body, soul, and divinity of Christ, and it's not symbolic of the body and blood, but it's actually is physically the body and blood. Well, I consider that a load of BS. :) I make a point to pray every night, as well as minor things such as not eating meat on fridays during Lent. (All though I did this Friday, and regret it) I just can't take everything said in the Bible for fact, especially the Gospels.
Good enough for me.Quote:

I just don't like when kids are simply taught Christianity and believe in it based on that. It's certainly not how religion should be. Which is one reason why I don't like religious "schools."
But if He showed himself to you and whatnot, then I suppose there's not arguing with that. :)

If you have any other questions, let me know.
Hmm, you know, I've always just considered Catholicism and Christianity almost the same, and never went into it more than that. You do make a good point.. :)Quote:

Omni, you know my school's like that, and you know I don't like how they just throw it at you and tell you to believe. But you know me well enough to know that I don't care what they say, and I form my own beliefs. Besides, religion is like that, let alone a school, it's really only up to you in the end to form your own beliefs. :)
For the records, Omnigear doesn't believe in Christ...GET HIM! FORCE HIM TO BELIEVE!! :lol:
It's like this: All Catholics are Christians, but not all Christians are Catholics. ;)Quote:

One more question: would a modern day Jesus watch football and drink beer?
