Comment on Is there any real physical proof that Jesus christ ever existed?
Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 week agoThe whole point of Christianity isn’t just to “do good”. The foundation is that we aren’t good enough by nature and are flawed by our own fault, but by trusting in and following God, we can be forgiven. Because Jesus literally existed and was executed for our sins.

That feels a lot like your personal interpretation. You do not get to decide how people who call themselves Christian define themselves.

I’m going to start calling myself “muslim” then, as “muslim” means “one who submits to God”

You go ahead and do that. Worth noting that Islam doesn’t have a protestant reformation thats come in to say “f this the rules are whatever I want them to be personally,” so it’s basically still in its Catholic hegemony phase.

The protestant reformation didn’t do that. In fact, it was the opposite. It was based on the Bible over everything and shedding the idea of a pope who can claim “the rules are whatever I want them to be personally”
