Mike Johnson is evil and controlled by the devil, says Christian minister
House Speaker Mike Johnson is being mislead and controlled by the devil, a Christian minister has said in a scathing op-ed.
And who created this definition that you're referencing? You speak as if it's the authority on what is and isn't Christian.
I'm not debating. Just sharing what I've been taught.
Ah, well, you were taught that by non-christians.
Kempis is a very storied and well-respected theologian from right before the Reformation. He's looked upon fondly by the Anglicans, Methodists, and Jesuits alike. He's about as Christian as they come, and the fruit of his belief is abundant.
Thomas Kempis is very much Christian. There are a variety of Christian authors in this vein. Modern American Evangelicalism doesn't comprise the entirety of religious thinking.
They're Christian according to whom? To them?
No, they're not Christian at all.
Again, I'm not debating. But I do find the irony interesting.
And who created this definition that you're referencing? You speak as if it's the authority on what is and isn't Christian.
I feel like you're missing the irony..
You cannot say who is or isn't Christian any more than I can. Just because you reference those YOU see as an authority didn't make you correct. It simply moves the problem one step to the left. Those people also can't say who is or isn't Christian.
There is no metric by which you can measure who is a Christian. At best you can say that some people don't act as you would expect Christians to act. But that's just your option, and says more about your beliefs than them.
No, they're not Christians at all.
I'm just pointing out that you're not being consistent.
