I think Christianity is an (if not the most) important cultural component of the West and I'm fairly sure that the West will not survive if Christianity does not survive.

That said, I feel like I can't really call myself a Christian because, while I believe wholeheartedly in the primacy of natural law, and even in the Monad in its many manifestations in realms of morality, metaphysics, material science, and mathematics and even though I am moved by and agree with almost all aspects of traditional Christian morality, I have never been able to genuinely believe in the supernatural claims of the Bible (resurrection, personal God, revelation).
I tend to see myself as more of a NeoPlatonist in light of my nonbelief in the historicity of the Bible, but there is certainly no extant "Platonic culture" in our world and the teachings of the Greeks and their philosophical descendants, while lucid and compelling, are esoteric at their best and generally impenetrable to something north of 95% of moderns.

Is this as much of a problem as I think it is? I sometimes want to call myself a Christian but most Christians that I have respect for maintain the importance of belief in a genuine historical resurrection and revelation. I'm wondering if there's a way to reconcile nonbelief with Christianity or if I should even bother trying

I miss fundamentalists hating on fags, sluts and abortists.
I think they were from the generation before boomers, that's why we don't see them anymore.

just take what you like from christianity and handwave the rest
Thats what christians have always done and thats why its a shitty religion that reliably breeds weakness into each new generation

Don't give up. Fuck what the Christ-hating atheist/kike shills say. Without Christianity, we have nothing. Read the Gospel. Read the rest of the New Testament if you have time. Contemplate every verse. And pray often:
"My Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done, on Earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day, our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the Kingdom and the Glory and the Power forever. Amen."
I would suggest also reading John 14 in particular. You must accept Christ. Even if you can't force yourself to completely believe it, pray, or say out-loud that you do. I believe a sincere effort would be more than enough for our merciful Lord.
Proverbs 3:5
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding."
God bless you.

Has anyone notice how Christians take time to write down honest paragraphs, while shills only rely on spamming images and buzzwording?

If you truly read and understood the bible you'd not only know whats going on currently in the world, but why.
I can safely say you're blind to scripture.
Also knowing the jews in israel are fakes isnt the full truth, its much deeper than that.

I honestly hate Christians because they pick and choose what they want to follow, they're worse than atheists because they're blaspheming the holy spirit and turning more souls away from the light than any satanist could.
Christmas is the most Babylonian holiday I've ever seen and people celebrate it every year, disgusting.

same. I honestly wish they could make a comeback to prominence without being murdered by progressives
yes, it's getting too obvious for me to ignore at this point in my life. The biggest common denominator of people that I respect honestly in regard to integrity/morality/virtue are is Christianity

Heh cute dog. I love Christmas.

>I think Christianity is an (if not the most) important cultural component of the West and I'm fairly sure that the West will not survive if Christianity does not survive.
quite certain and obvious yes

>That said, I feel like I can't really call myself a Christian
Well, let's start from what does it mean to be a Christian?

When you look at the Bible, the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch, recorded Acts:11, but before that they were all simply called disciples.

So, the question is, are you a disciple of Christ? To be a disciple, you must believe in Christ, follow his teaching, and have a relationship with him. Just like a student does to a master.

If you're still having trouble in believing, then you can't follow, so you cannot be a Christian by your own admission!

>So what to do?
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye. shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh. findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."
(Matthew 7:7-8)

>How? Where to seek God?
Same way as you seek your car keys when they get lost, everywhere! Pray, read the Bible, meet other Christians to pray for you and help you, watch testimonies and teaching videos on Youtube.

Check out Todd White on Youtube, he has an amazing testimony, and great great love for God. It took him years until he became a mature Christian, in the beginning of his walk he was still doing cocaine and meth, as a believer!

Sid Roth's It's Supernatural is another great channel full of wonderful testimonies.

For teaching, especially on casting out demons, Derek Prince is a fantastic teacher.

>I'm wondering if there's a way to reconcile nonbelief with Christianity
Absolutely not, that would be self-deception.

Remember, no matter where you are, God will ALWAYS love you!

>Fuck what the Christ-hating atheist/kike shills say
A Christian would not speak this way... please don't deceive yourself and repent!

OP, most of pol is extremely deceived when it comes to Christianity. They are blinded by their hatred of Jews, and their portion will not be in the Kingdom of God unless they repent.

The Bible warned them, but they listened not. Their hearts are in this world.

Western Europe at least has a theoretical chance
America is truly done, it is the heart of darkness.

Great post! Thanks!

Sorry if this comes across as too crass, but I simply meant that people who actively seek to separate people from God should not be respected, and their words should be disregarded. I appreciate your concern and will take your advice into account. Lord knows I have a long way to go before I can call myself a good Christian, but I am trying.
Ephesians Chapter 5 :)

How do I rationalise becoming a Christian when there's not a single guy named Chris in the bible?

No worries, he is faithful to forgive!

>people who actively seek to separate people from God should not be respected, and their words should be disregarded
I understand, but it's sometimes easy to forget that we're not battling flesh and blood, but demonic spirits and principalities (Ephesians 6:12)

Even all the talk about Jews on pol, comes from evil spirits. Satan knows that God's integrity hangs on Israel and the Jewish nation, so it's no surprise to us that they're attacked so much verbally and physically throughout history.

Respect is earned, but our love should be unconditional. Let your love shine bright, so that people see Christ in you, and those who want to separate people will fail, because love never fails!

I pray for God's wisdom for you user, and a soft and tender heart towards those who are lost. In Jesus name, amen!

Blessings!

nah, that's not true
justb YOUR christianity is weak and pathetic

well if you dont like it , then neck yourself, what do you know about the bible ? nothing, so?

The West is already failing in spite of it. Christianity is inherently left-wing and individualist, everyone cares about their soul more than their community.

how many kikes are you there shilling against Christianity today? the board is rife
