Defining Christianity

Alan K. Henderson has an excellent post called, ”What Defines Christianity.” (Surprisingly, the b*s permalink is working!)

    Ralph claims that Christianity should be based only on the words of Christ - that the Old Testament and the writings of Jesus’ apostles have no authority with regard to the philosophy Jesus taught.

    This common misunderstanding fails to take into account several points. For those of you who brought your Bibles, turn to Matthew 5:17. During the “Sermon on the Mount,” Jesus states:

    Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

Alan goes on to make several points to explain why Ralph is incorrect in his perception of Christianity. Go check it out.
