    So basically, you think Jesus is pro abortion, something He never claimed to be, but don’t think that He is God, something He did claim to be?

      I can go outside and find you couple of guys claiming to be god, does not make it any more true than claims made about Jesus (you surly know that as most religion founders he didn’t leave a written record of his teaching, they were all written down after his death by his followers).

      So basically, you think Jesus is pro abortion,

      Absolutely, based on my understanding of his philosophy and since he was a smart guy he would also get basic biology, so no troubles there.

        Were they prophecised about, performed miracles and rose from the dead?

        So it’s no longer because of Jewish law, but because “Jesus was a smart guy and I’m a smart guy so he must obviously agree with me”

          I can find you people claiming to be and do all that stuff. By the way, if you believe that Jesus literally rose from the dead and performed miracles - you are indeed a christian fundamentalist, since you take the bible (at least the new testament) literally.

          So it’s no longer because of Jewish law, but because “Jesus was a smart guy and I’m a smart guy so he must obviously agree with me”

          This are two separate points:

          Jesus was Jewish is more of a joke, something I personally always though of as funny.

          Jesus was a smart guy and I’m a smart guy so he must obviously agree with me”

          First, that’s not what I wrote. Second what I actually wrote is close to my opinion on what Jesus would think. Which is as valuable as anyone’s guess. And more of an anecdote than an argument.

            No? You’re just a Christian…

            Unless of course your definition of Christian fundamentalist is someone who believes in the fundamentals of Christianity, but that’s just an unnecessary thing to add on to the term “Christian”. In that case, then Christian Fundamentalism is the largest world religion.

              Nope, there are Christians that don’t take the Bible literally. And no you are not the judge of who can call themselves Christian.

                Then I’m a pro-choice who believes Abortion is wrong and shouldn’t be legal. Because I believe contraception should be legal

                  You can call you what ever you want, I’m not to stuck on definitions. Does not change that I think your stance on abortion does not make to much sense.

                    So then why do you keep trying to define me as a “Christian fundamentalist” when your definition of that is basically someone who’s just a normal Nicene Christian, and not a heretical offshoot?
