Christianity without Christ

I read two posts this morning. Bush – Still the reason for the Season? and Brody – Pray like you Mean it.

Individually they don’t mention this topic, but after reading them and some of the comments the only thing that came to mind was “Christianity without Christ”. In the back of my head I really think there is a block of verses that talks about this, but just can not find it. (if you do let me know)
The point here is that I understand the need for a good relationship with Christ, but I dont like all the blubber that pops in my head when I think about it. ‘i am a critical hypocrite who is hyper-sensitive to people that are tripping over themselves in public about Jesus and God’. Why? I think i might have been like that when i was younger.

  • This sounds retarded, but I think it’s true.

If I could switch the title around in my head I might live a fuller life.

For the Record I am not saying that Bush Or Brody are “Christianity without Christ”. I think these two guys have a good handle on what it means to have a relationship without blubbering in the streets.

    It’s the struggle with having faith without religion.

    Luke 18

    9
    To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable:
    10
    “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
    11
    The Pharisee stood up and prayed about[a] himself: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
    12
    I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’
    13
    “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’
    14
    “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
