 Quote From: elffie I understand that you are very much in your own way of thinking and that I cannot "open" the mind of a "closed" minded person. So, with that said, I see no point sitting here and debating on this subject anymore. You are clearly not open to other aspects of life and think that YOUR way is the right and only way which is NOT true. There were OTHER religions BEFORE yours and you should know that since you take Theology, the term that describes MANY beliefs and the definition has been CHANGED throughout history so that now it is referred to Christianity and of God, when really the Greeks used the term to define their Gods (plural). So anyway, you are obviously put in your own ways and that is good for you. Just do not disregaurd other beliefs as which your way IS NOT the only way. Thank you. Interesting! I'm a little confused. You're saying that my way is not he only right way. Does this mean that my way may be right along with others or are many others the right way and mine is wrong? Because my way states that there is only one way so either I'm right or wrong, I can't be right along with others. Maybe the Greeks did use the word Theology differnet -interesting. As for todays English language - I studied Theology - hope that clears it up. Rigt you are, there were other religions before Christ came on the scene, but the basis of Christianity comes from the very moment that God created man almost 6,000 years ago. Originally man had a way to communicate with God. Years later, God gave the Hebrews laws about communication with him. Approximately 4,000 years after creation God introduced direct communication with him after his crucifiction and ressurection. As far as what I can see from the Bible, God had a plan all along. Yes the name Christ wasn't used until 2,000 years ago but the classification of the word Christianity is the not the most important thing here. The important thing is that you see that 'Christianity' was God's plan all along as it states in John 1:1,14 "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God." "And the word became flesh and dwelt among us...." John 1:1 shows that Christianity was planned from the 'beginning' and since God always was, Christianity has always been........
