Christianity is a religion

[Rick C. Hodgin]

Please ignore the fake Rick C. Hodgin poster that claims Christianity is
not a religion as his motives are manipulated by Satan.

Of course.

But Rickianity isn't.

And what Rick preaches is the later, not the former (regardless of what
terminology he uses).

Hey Kenny, which part of my teaching do you think doesn't align with Christianity?

Have you ever read what Napoleon wrote after studying world religions?

http://biblehub.com/library/schaff/the_person_of_christ/napoleon_bonaparte.htm

----[ Begin ]-----

Napoleon replied: --

"I know men; and I tell you that Jesus Christ is not a man. Superficial minds see a resemblance between Christ and the founders of empires, and the gods of other religions. That resemblance does not exist. There is between Christianity and whatever other religions the distance of infinity.

"We can say to the authors of every other religion, You are neither gods, nor the agents of the Deity. You are but missionaries of falsehood, moulded from the same clay with the rest of mortals. You are made with all the passions and vices inseparable from them. Your temples and your priests proclaim your origin.' Such will be the judgment, the cry of conscience, of whoever examines the gods and the temples of paganism.

...

If your God is not like the true Jesus Christ from the Bible ... get a new one.

I, the real Rick C. Hodgin, did not write this post above. Please
examine the headers. I post only from Eternal September or Google
News, and from Indianapolis, IN.

The imposter here posted from an "en-GB" timezone using Giganews.

Have you no answer, Kenny?

Specifically, which parts of my teaching do you think misalign with
what you believe to be "true teachings of Christianity?" Do you have
something specific? Or just a general feeling in your gut that what
I teach is wrong because you disagree with it?

You make an accusation for everyone to see, disparaging my good name
and the teachings I invest much into, those I offer to people in good
faith, and you do so all in one breath.

Let's see your real claims and examine them point-by-point against
scripture and see which one of us is the one with an unfounded claim.

If I am in error I will receive a rebuke, offer apologies, and begin
teaching the correct doctrine from that point forward. I will carry
a signature for six months indicating I was in error and that Kenny
McCormack corrected me.

But, if I am correct, then you have a whole new slew of worries to
ponder in your life, as do the multitude of others who read these
posts ... namely that there is a true calling upon your soul to repent
of sin lest you enter into Hellfire upon your death.

I assure you that I am correct, and that you do have those worries.
But I am willing to listen to your claims, Kenny.

Do you have an answer? Or will silence dictate the true fact that
you have only unfounded claims of falseness, of solely hollow, empty
accusations?

Let's see which way the truth falls here, Kenny. Will you answer
with something other than a mocking tagline of hate and accusations
of mere vapor?

Most Christians do not behave (and so teach by example to be) major
assholes, trolls and criminals. Some Mormons and Jehovah Witnesses I have
seen sometimes to behave annoyingly but those have been humble
compared to you, Rick. History however has shown lot of Christians even
worse than you. There have been numerous crusaders, inquisitors,
torturers and witch hunters. Jesus did certainly by no story about him
to suggest anyone to be a jerk nor to use his name as excuse to brute
others ... but you already know it better than me.

I teach the truth, Öö Tiib. You reject it now, but on the day of your
death you will then know the severity to which it was real, and needed
to be told to all people world-wide.

My eyes are on saving people's eternal souls from judgment by God and
damnation for those who do not know Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.

You may laugh and joke and lump me into categories of those people
who have not served the Lord rightly from history, but I am not those
people, and my message is true.

You can go to scripture and see for yourself. In fact, I urge you to
go there and try and prove my advice and guidance wrong. Find out
any place where I am not doing what I should in teaching people the
truth with urgency.

I have read that truth and Jesus has nowhere said that your "teaching"
or my disbelief of it are good excuses to be an asshole. I think Bible
is fully accessible to anyone interested and it is easier to reach than
food or water to many of us.

Nor is wherever your "eyes are on" a good excuse to be a jerk.

I did not laugh nor joke. I told actually what I believe is true, that
you are self-righteous asshole. That is not meant as insult but
statement of fact like I see it. I did not lump you with those bad
people but explicitly stated that there have been lot of far worse
"Christians" than you.

I have read the scripture and I have found it actually to be interesting
book. You are most similar to members of sects of Pharisees an Sadducees
in that book. Pharisees believed in resurrection, angels and spirit like
you. Sadducees interpreted Torah literally like you. Members of both
of these sects were generally behaving as self-righteous jerks like you
or even worse. The third major Jewish sect of that time, Essenes, has
been never mentioned in Bible.

I have not been as you claim. I have been instructing you in the
very thing you need more than food, water, or air, because you may
not be alive in the next 10 seconds. But your soul will be accountable
for your sin the moment you leave this Earth ... unless you have asked
Jesus to forgive you.

That is not being anything negative. That is telling you in a teaching
way the very thing you need to know right now, today, this second.

If that is all you have found in reading it you need to read it
again because you have missed it.

I dare you to read the New Testament and find any place where my
teaching that you need to repent of sin in order to have eternal
life, and that Jesus is our only way to salvation, and that Jesus
told us to go forth and teach everybody this information, is any-
thing other than our true calling.

It is the most essential piece of knowledge we can come to, Öö Tiib.
It is absolutely essential ... more so than food, water, or even air.
And that is not an exaggeration. That is total truth.

I hope he is doing well.
Yes, he is a bit odd, but isn't everyone who is still reading newsgroups?
His non-relevant posting are just as easily skipped as the Amine's for
instance, but the hatefull replies hurt my old eyes.

A nice day to all who make this group worth reading!
