Why does Christianity fitting the semantics definition of a religion make it manmade? I'm not saying Christianity is or isn't a religion, that's just an endless genealogy. The God of the Bible is perfect, gracious, merciful, and forgiving.
because it's man made. which is incorrect. . the greeks said the same thing about their gods. both you and the greeks have the same amount of evidence showing your gods exist. which is zero.
Why do you believe Christianity is manmade? The word religion is a non issue to me. I don't like it or dislike it, but I think its not a good term to use for Christianity because Christianity is first and foremost a relationship with God. The word religion is just a detail. James 1:27 is consistent with Christianity being a relationship with God. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world
uh, because man invented it, like every other religion. no it isn't. it is first and foremeost, by definition, a religion.
