>My beliefs are rooted in skepticism though but I do believe in God, and I believe Jesus was the Son of God in the sense that God destined him to be the greatest moral teacher in history and for his death to be an example to us all.
A Christian is someone who acknowledges that Christ is God. Otherwise Muslims would be Christian as well.
> I do read the Bible but I take Biblical Criticism seriously
Like patristic commentaries (that even btfo those modernist ideias about the bible) or the criticism of tiggers that never when to church and think theyre smart?
>I don't generally hold it to be infallible or anything silly like that.
Lol are you kidding me? Then how do you know what Christ said was really what you think he said? Other you accept what the Bible and the Tradition says about him or you're just taking guesses in the dark
>I try to interpret it within it's historical and cultural context such as the myths of the Torah and the Greek Philosophical elements in the New Testament.
What myths? The ones other civilizations borrowed from the Jews? Lmao. I'd like those faggot to prove me those myths didn't come from the first humans that were actually faithful to God but ok kid. Besides there's no myths nor Greek shit in the NT. The Greek stuff are adaptations of the Greek philosophy to Christianity, in an attempt to make that shit agree with the faith.
>I used to be a Fundamentalist but I snapped out of it a long time ago and I feel reading the Bible critically actually makes it more interesting.
From the frying pan into the fire
>I hope you guys are open to people as diverse as me though.
There's no diversity in Christ.
"Jesus Christ, yesterday, today and tomorrow. The same forever"
Its laughable that you still call yourself Christ. Best case scenario you are a deist you likes the Jesus portrayed by the Illuminism.
At least Muslims believe jesus was an holy profet from God.
At least Jews believe that their scriptures are inspired
At least any religious man believes in a supernatural world.
You are nothing. Only a glorified atheist.
Repent brother before it's too late.
Don't take this as an insult.
Just read the history of the Early Church and you'll know why Christians are Christian.
t. Catholic Physicist (and I say this so that you now that it's possible to be a scientist and believe in a supernatural world, materialism is a shitty philosophy nothing more.)
