Hebrews 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Despite more than nine out of 10 Americans agreeing Jesus was a historical figure, what they believe about Him diverges widely, according to a newly released survey from the Barna Research Group, a nonprofit organization that has been analyzing cultural trends related to religious belief since 1984.
The survey of more than 4,000 U.S. adults online and by phone suggests Americans are conflicted about the central figure of Christianity and have failed to successfully pass on their faith to succeeding generations.
That Jesus once walked the Earth as a man was accepted by 92 percent of respondents, with even 87 percent of Millennials (those born between 1984 and 2002) agreeing. This overwhelming belief in Jesus’ historicity is reflected in the success of popular movies and television shows such as “Son of God,” “The Passion of the Christ,” “The Bible” and “A.D.: The Bible Continues...”

I attended a bible study ended up explaining to other members what the preacher didn’t want to about the pre-tribulation rapture. I don’t think many them had more than a sixth education. I thought it was funny when after I got done, they would always ask the preacher if I was right or not.
Actually, I taught it most of the time I was there.
Jesus, (God) cannot sin...whatever He does cannot be considered sin...He is God Who determines what sin is..
I wonder how many of those polled have actually read the Bible. We all know that He was without sin in order to fully bear our sins in the ultimate sacrifice. We know that He was here in human form yet fully divine and was tempted.
If you had reached even one soul, just one, you are to be praised.
A person comes to Christ through a growth of the spirit which is formed from people they meet on the journey.
Perhaps you are one of the people that influenced others to come to Christ. Perhaps you did not see their turn, but you may be remembered without knowing how influential you were. God bless you.
It’s interesting to read each version and their arguments ...
Did Jesus turn the water into wine at a gay wedding or did he discriminate?
‘If you had reached even one soul, just one, you are to be praised.’
I taught anywhere from six to a dozen. The preacher agreed with me pretty much all the time, so I must have been doing something right. To be honest, they couldn’t read that well. I have never met men that read that badly. Maybe in third grade.
I’m convinced the absolute worst thing to say of the Lord or the Father in Heaven is that they are sinners or liars. I shudder at the very thought of even thinking it-—and its impossible for the ALmighty to be either one. Utter fools who fear not the Holy One of heaven.
Probably a lot more than you seem to think.
Of those polled? I would say that if the majority of them read and believe the Bible then they wouldn’t suggest that Jesus was actually a sinner. My opinion of course.
No sense in polling Christians then. /s
I have great faith in Christ, very little faith in future Americans. My beautiful nation is doomed.
Like many of the religious Christians who try to condemn other by pointing out the "Go and sin no more" phrase Jesus spoke to the woman.......
Those folks are either the biggest hypocrites in the world (akin to the pharisees) or they are really deluded into thinking that certain sinners are actually capable of ceasing all sinful acts...
I agree with the Bible and you on this.
This was a screwy survey that involved internet responses. They have no way of knowing if they had Christian respondents. It’s a typical lie to make Christians think what Obammy said is true - we are no longer a Christian nation... It is designed to demoralize Christians.

How do you know this is from Soros I wonder?
Thanks. I’ll take that for a high compliment.
On to bigger things than just me.
I saw something today and I don’t know what to make of it.
I saw what I would estimate looked like a co.,they marched and as they sang. Matter of fact ,’Old Time Religion ‘, They sang it pretty well and marched very well. Appear to have been together for
