"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
“I don’t agree with her its necessary for any one to convert to Christianity - or Islam to believe in God. All one has to do is believe in God and follow His teachings. The real problem isn’t that Jews haven’t converted. The real problem is the decline of faith in God in the West”
Being Christian means you believe in Christ as the savior and Son of God. You can be religious and believe in God.
The real problem is the decline of practicing faith in God in the West. Many profess to be Christian without actually being so. Same with Jews and Muslims. They profess to be what their parents were, but that's as far as it goes, just words. FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD..............
Sorry - but the Bible makes it clear that "belief" in God is not sufficient:
James 2:19 - You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believeand tremble!
When this verse says "You do well," Paul was using sarcasm to get his point across. He's speaking to a "foolish man" and he says that the man's belief in God puts him on par with the demons.
