You are no more a valid judge of who and who is not a Christian than I am and this is simply a diversion from the topic. Usually people that try to change the topic have lost the debate.

With the code of conduct he supplied his loyal ones, Christ drew a bright line and then announced that absolutely everyone on the other side is not a Christian.

So wholly devoted to this code would these be that all non-Christian world-views/conduct would be effortlessly recognized. (Malachi 3:18 cf. Titus 1:16)

These preach the gospel, and if necessary, use words.

Meaning that, just as we are able to distinguish genuine legal tender apart from Monopoly money, any sincere person can make a distinction between a Christian and an Anti-Christian (Satanist).

You aren’t the arbiter of who’s a Christian or not. So if those of any Christian sect are sedulous disciples of Christ then Muhammad was Jewish . . .

I think you are a bit confused. That is not Jesus in those books.

And it leads to the No True Scotsman fallacy. You appear to be willing to claim that most Christians are not Christians. That would make Christianity itself a rather small cult.

Carrying away any individual against their will was kidnapping which was strictly proscribed in ancient Israel under pain of death. (Exodus 21:16)

No kidnapping means no forced labor means no slavery.

Wrong again, that law applied to the Hebrews. There is no indication that they applied it to non-Hebrews. Read once more who the Hebrews could buy slaves from. How do you think that they got them?

And you are still ignoring that the children of slaves were slaves. Even if your claim about kidnapping was correct, which it is not, it still does not explain that evil action by your version of God.

Believe it or not, Christ Jesus actually prophesied this would happen:

"Many will say to me in that day: ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ And then I will declare to them: ‘I never knew you! Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness!’" -Matthew 7:22, 23 (Emphasis mine.)

“Go in through the narrow gate,because broad is the gate and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are going in through it; whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are finding it." -Matthew 7:13, 14 (Emphasis mine)​

So, where are all the Christians?

Those who yearn for the truth are drawn to the Scriptural truths I've been energetically proclaiming.

Narcissists, on the other hand, are beholden only to themselves and rail against anyone who even dares disrupt their echo-chamber.

Why else do you think Jesus was brutally murdered despite being the greatest man who had ever lived?

Incorrect.

The overwhelming majority of those who say they're Christian abide by the RCC's Athanasian Creed which mendaciously claims Jesus is God, not his Creator, Jehovah God.

Only sedulous Christians part of the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses actually worship Christ Jesus' God, Jehovah, no one else.

An Atheist how has never personally perlustrated the Holy Scriptures is going to decide what Christianity is and who actually exemplify it?

This has to be a joke . . . right?

What makes you think that I haven't? Most atheists understand the Bible better than most Christians. That is why they are atheists in the first place.

"That which can be claimed without evidence can be dismissed without evidence."

Accordingly, consider your fatuous claims dismissed.


Believe it or not, you can start questioning your claims of an absolute, incontrovertible truth. It's all up to you. I admit it's not an easy path but it's possible because many before you have succeeded.

And if you actually ever did endeavor to study and comprehend the Bible's teachings you would be a Christian. Unless, of course, your not neurotypical. Are you neurotypical or do you have ASD?
