Debate: Can agnostics be Christian?
Side: No.

The only ones who can be followers of Christ are the Israelites. Christ only came for the Israelites, not the whole world.Matthew 15:24 But he answered, and said, I am not sent, but vnto the lost sheepe of the house of Israel.
Debate: Can agnostics be Christian?
Side: Yes.

You're a nutso yutso. The gospel of Jesus Christ is for everybody in the world. God offers peace through faith in the blood of His cross for all sinners who will repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Debate: Can agnostics be Christian?
Side: No.

What is repentance?*

Shame. This website had enough ignorant hatred without you here.
Debate: Can agnostics be Christian?
Side: No.

Great.
Debate: Can agnostics be Christian?
Side: No.

Nope... Christians go to heaven. If you are going around saying that yoy arent sure christ exists you go to hell.
Debate: Can agnostics be Christian?
Side: Yes.

Christians go to Heaven, eh?Wow. Imagine that.I had not idea that Adolf Hitler and Timothy McVeigh would have gotten their tickets to the Pearly Gates. Since both of them WERE Christians.Go figure.Saint Pete is evidently a LOT more tolerant than I would have thought.
Debate: Can agnostics be Christian?
Side: Yes.

To be fair, for a Christian who has sinned sufficiently (your guess is as good as mine on that one) to get into heaven, they must truly repent for their sins.I don't think anyone actually believes Hitler or McVeigh legitimately, honestly regretted what they did in their lives.
Debate: Can agnostics be Christian?
Side: Yes.

Verse please? Can you cite where in the Bible it says one "must truly repent for their sins"?
Debate: Can agnostics be Christian?
Side: Yes.

You misunderstand. By "truly repent" I simply meant "repent", as the Bible calls for in Acts 3:19. However, as I'm sure you can agree, lip service is not actual repentance, though some atheists try to argue that Christianity allows for "lip service repentance".
Debate: Can agnostics be Christian?
Side: No.

Jesus said that life is eternal, and life is knowing God, and this life is in His Son. Jesus claimed to be God in human form, the Son of God sent by the Father, the Word of God who is God. If you are an agnostic, you believe you can't really know God and therefore you reject Jesus Christ and cannot be a Christian, no mater how "good and moral" of a person you may be. You have to be born again, born of God's Spirit, a new life conceived in you from God who is Jesus Christ, you have to receive Jesus Christ to be saved, to be a Christian, to be like Him. Claiming to follow a set of morals or a code of conduct which you call Christian does not make you a Christian even if you claim to be following Jesus's teachings of ethics and morals. A true Christian cannot be an agnostic, which is only a twisted definition of atheist which pretends to me more intellectual that straight up atheistic denial of God.
Debate: Can agnostics be Christian?
Side: No.

Are you asking permission or are you asking if it is possible be agnostic and Christian without contradiction? The answer to the former question is: I won't stop you. The answer to the latter is that there is a contradiction lying within the definition of the terms Christian and Agnostic. An agnostic neither denies nor affirms the existence of God. Furthermore, an agnostic believes that nothing is or can be known about God. A Christian, on the other hand, does affirm the existence of God. Perhaps the label you are looking for is Omnisn, belief in all religions.
Debate: Can agnostics be Christian?
Side: No.

No if you're agnostic that means you don't claim to know, ie you are an atheist, if you are a Christian you claim to know that there is a god. This presents a contradiction if you are agnostic. Sorry if you identify as an agnostic-Christian, but that's not actually a thing. Agnostic-anythings are atheist.
Debate: Can agnostics be Christian?
Side: No.

If you think about this closely, you will be able to see that it doesn't make sense at all for someone to be a Christian and yet agnostic at the same time.  To be a Christian doesn't mean that you go to Church every Sunday, was born into a Christian family, follow the rules of the Ten Commandments...To be a Christian means that you believe in Jesus Christ with all your heart, mind, strength and soul. However if you are agnostic, which evidently means that you are a non-believer, faithless, doubting, then you can't be a Christian. That's basically somebody saying "I believe in God, but I don't believe in God..."
Debate: Can agnostics be Christian?
Side: Yes.

If you think about this closely, you will be able to see that it doesn't make sense at all for someone to be a Christian and yet agnostic at the same time. "If you were to search up the adjective of agnostic, you should see synonyms that not only have doubting, but unbelieving, disbelieving, faithless etc.If you are talking about the word doubting, then this makes sense because you can always have a Christian that sometimes doubts the existence of God. For example, maybe someone you loved dearly dies and they were very young; you might then doubt the existence of God because you're asking him "If you are there, then why aren't you answering my prayers?""-You
Debate: Can agnostics be Christian?
Side: No.

However in reference to the adjective's synonym unbeliever, this is very different. Instead of having a small doubt of God or being unsure about Him. By having disbelief you are willingly putting yourself against God by saying that "Jesus is NOT the Son Of God." If this is the case, then you are not a Christian, because to be a Christian you need to believe in Jesus.-Me I was agreeing with you but then showing you how if you were an unbeliever this means you can't be a Christian.
Debate: Can agnostics be Christian?
Side: Yes.

But that's the point: Only some synonyms fit that, and those synonyms don't accurately portray what agnosticism (without knowledge) means. Additionally, you make a very mistaken claim when you say " By having disbelief you are willingly putting yourself against God by saying that "Jesus is NOT the Son Of God."That requires a lack of belief to be a conscious choice, which it really isn't. One does not choose to suddenly not believe in God.
Debate: Can agnostics be Christian?
Side: Yes.

Just like one chooses to believe in whether or not 1 + 1 is 2, one also chooses to believe that God is reAl and that God is not. Evidence is given for both. The Bible and the basics of maths teachings; however we get to choose if we really think the evidence is right. So it's your choice to believe in God, and it's your choice not to believe in God.
Debate: Can agnostics be Christian?
Side: Yes.

Just like one chooses to believe in whether or not 1 + 1 is 2, one also chooses to believe that God is reAl and that God is not. That may sound right to someone like you who actually believes, but I assure you that isn't true. I don't "choose" to believe that 1+1 =2, I simply know it is via the observable world. I can not "know" that God exists via the observable world, and I can not "choose" to believe in God.And telling people what they are capable of choosing to believe in is not going to lead to people responding to you civilly, in future reference. It comes across rather arrogantly.
Debate: Can agnostics be Christian?
Side: No.

You either are Christian or not. agnostics can convert to Christians but will never be Christian so long as they are agnostic.
Debate: Can agnostics be Christian?
Side: No.

AN agnostic believes that they don't know or even can't know if there is a God. A Christian by definition believes in God, the God of the Bible. Those are two views that are incompatible.
Debate: Can agnostics be Christian?
Side: No.

The question is will Radical Islamist care if you are agnostic or Christian before they behead you ?
Debate: Can agnostics be Christian?
Side: Yes.

When you are ready to stay on topic, message me. This debate is about whether agnostic can be Christians, and this debate is NOT about Islam.
Debate: Can agnostics be Christian?
Side: Yes.

Technically it could be about Islam. Since they take away the divinity of Christ downgrading him to a mere prophet. Which by default would allow one to follow his teachings without being associated with the faith. As in Buddhism. Which leads us to question whether an agnostic be 'spiritual', in which case I would agree, yes one could.
Debate: Can agnostics be Christian?
Side: Yes.

No it can't. I will say it again: This debate is about whether agnostics can be Christians, and it is not about Islam. Learn to read.
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

Anyone CAN be like him. Theoretically, anyone conscious of their actions can live a life free of sin (unless existence is a sin). But I no one has the will to, especially since Christianity grants blanket amnesty to sinners (as long as they are Christian).
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

Jesus can! :)
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

I believe it is possible for anyone (who wants to be close to god) to be like Jesus. What do you think and why? I'm sorry if this debate has been done before
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

Yes, absolutely. I am assuming by "Jesus" you mean perfect, gentle, kind, blah blah. But we wouldn't know if Jesus himself was perfect as much of what we know of him is hearsay.
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

chances are there are jesus like people walking around all over the place and you wouldn't know it. If a person was "perfect" they wouldn't be announcing it. They would be living humble quiet lives and you and I my never see or hear about them.
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

You would need to take a few magic lessons and figure out how to walk on water and turn water into wine. You'll be great at parties ;)
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: No

Who's to say that when and if you reached the enlightened state that Jesus was functioning in that you wouldn't be able to make miracles. Jesus used those miracles to convince his follower that he spoke the truth. A modern enlightened or "perfect" person my not need to do such things.
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: No

No..., but it might help ;)
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

The argument centers around "become LIKE Jesus". What Jesus did is what we are capable of doing. "Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father." John 14:11-13. We can become like Jesus by being completely obedient to God. Can we take the place of Jesus - Savior for the world - No! We cannot accomplish the work God sent Jesus to do. Is this human perfection? No - God is a loving and caring God who forgives those who seek him. Our old nature continues to battle within us (per Paul) but we can repent, get up and start again. We cannot be a duplicate or clone of Jesus but our mission is clear - Go and tell. Just as Jesus came (in the flesh) and told the world by accomplishing God's task for him.
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

Many have. Modern messianic figures are virtually ubiquitous outside of first-world countries, and not uncommon within them. Who knows? Maybe someday, one of 'em'll manage a following to rival the Christians.
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

It's already been done:------------------------------------------------------
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: No

even if this guy walked on water it doesn't mean he is like Jesus. Jesus didn't sin, but ALL humans do. This guy(in the video) has sinned, since he is human, and therefore can't be like Jesus.
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

So Jesus wasn't human? What was he an elephant??????????????
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: No

haha-funnyHe was God in human form. Kind of like wearing a costume.
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

Let me rephrase the question for you then, can anyone become like Jesus (God in human form)? Where we or where we not created in his image? Or do you take that completely literal and think that the all powerful creator of the universe has a human form somewhere and when he created us in his image he just wanted us to look like him? Or do you think maybe he created us with the power and ability to become like him.
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: No

Jesus was as much an elephant was he was the son of a deity.
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: No

Nice try, but this is just a clever trick. Clearly he is walking on plexiglass or a surface like it.
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: No

Criss Angel's a magician. Don't compare Criss Angel to a man claiming to be the son of God.
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

Right. Chris Angel is a man who pretends to do magic while Jesus was a magic man who never existed.
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: No

Deleted. Made a observational mistake because of the bad quality of the video.
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: No

hes not walking on water thats fake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: No

its all fake.....................see the secret behind this falseness::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

hmm, too bad Jesus is dead and didn't reveal his tricks to us.-----------------------
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

He would be interesting to see Jesus' tricks. He was good because his followers were to stupid to figure them out.
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

Considering the possibility that Jesus might have been nothing more than a preacher-philosopher, I would say it's quite possible, then, for anyone to be just like Jesus - especially if they can get a lot of people to write hyperbolized stories about him. Speaking of which... Anyone here think anyone can become like Goku?
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

Absolutely, give me a hyperbolic time chamber.
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

Of course. All you need are some creative people to come up with some outlandish and impossible stories about your life hundreds of years after the events unfolded and of course embellish on them ALOT. Then even you can be Jesus!
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

Steps to becoming Jesus: Just tell people you're the son of a divine creator, don't do anything morally wrong (besides the fact that you lied about being the son of a divine creator), and be publicly executed. Whether we should want to be like him is a different story.
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

According to your own Bible, which welcomes all:Ephesians 5:1-2 “---Be imitators of God---, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

Can anyone become like Jesus because 1.our lives can be changed. 2.In order to make people see God in us.
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

Well, since people seem to be THAT stupid, clearly my post was a joke.To me, if magicians didn't reveal their tricks, it would be likely that they could gain a following. Imagine if magicians just claimed they were Wizards? It would be up to the Cato Institute to show us all that magicians are actually just tricksters (too bad the Cato Institute didn't exist 2000 years ago).
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

If you believe in God and have the holy spirit in you and the faith to move mountains, you could live up to Jesus's name! absolutely! Jesus was a norman human being with feelings and emotions just like we are.
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

f* you hes a magician its not real and your fake your very funny how dumb you are
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

For sure, being Jesus is easy. Just go to some place you expect to find hermit or someone who knows witchcraft, and ask them to teach you, that's all. But there're lots of side effect for studying them. And by the way, this is how Jesus learn to show miracle in his teen life which wasn't written in the bible.
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

Yes. Jesus said for us not to fear for He has overcome the world, and He has given us the power to do so also. we will overcome deathRevelation 2:10-12 (King James Version)King James Version (KJV)Public Domain

i would love to be jesus ambers brother and my tech teacher is jesus so anyone can be jesus
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

WTF laurenn? lawl u would not wanna be my bruv..trust me wth that lolz..
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

Jesus was a mortal man that supported a religion and did a superb job advertising for it. Anyone can become like Jesus because Jesus was, according to any viewpoint other than Christian, a normal man. He was not perfect, he simply portrayed himself as such to his followers. Many leaders, including Ghandi, Martin Luther King Jr, and even Hitler became much like Jesus in the fact that they were incredibly charismatic, passionate, and self sacrificial. All religious aspects aside, those are truly the only traits needed to become "like Jesus".
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

No! Wait? Well... I am Jesus and no one be me!!! Suck it bitches!
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

Look at me.... I am Jesus
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

Yes, and we all eventually must. Jesus was the great example of what we CAN be.
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

According to Buddhism, anyone can become a Buddha. Anyone. And since I believe in neither religion, I hold them as equals. Since one asserts that you can be a Buddha, but the other doesn't even mention whether or not you can become like Jesus, I'm going to say that you can. If Buddha = Jesus and anyone can become a Buddha, then anyone can become like Jesus.
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

Hey we agree on something!......................................................
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

Yes, that is simple. My children are just like Jesus. They don't exist either.
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: No

No one can become like Jesus because Jesus was perfect and we are not perfect. We all have sinned. Romans 3:23 says all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. We could follow His ways and understand all of what He did. But no one can become like Jesus.
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

Could you become approximately perfect ?
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: No

No not really. Every Christian person or pastor even sins. You can't go one day with out sinning.
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

There is a huge gap of time in the life of Jesus that was unrecorded. Could he not have sinned in that time and if he did why would that make it impossible to become who he was later?
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: No

He never sinned. Even when He came down on this earth He never sinned and He is still perfect this very day.
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

how do you know? Doesn't god say that we are all his children why was Jesus more his child than the rest of us?
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: No

Sure he did, he was involved with a prostitute, in fact he was her pimp in many ways;-)
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

Even if we accumulate sin through life but later repent can we not then be perfect or without sin again? What is the purpose of repenting if we are still sinful?
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: yes

You always say completely unproven opinions as if they are fact. Do you not understand the concept of "why"? Like yeah, the Bible says a lot of stuff, but why are people all sinners?I disagree. I think people are born 100% blameless, therefore completely free of sin.Who are you to say that no person has ever met some standard of a life free of sin? Who is your book to say?You don't know every person to ever live in the history of the world.So what inherently about humans makes you think they cannot be without sin?That would be "why" so don't quote the Bible. Use your brain.
Debate: Can anyone become like Jesus?
Side: No

I can quote the Bible if I want to you can't stop me. We all have sinned. You are sinning too. Everday someone is sinning. No one goes one day without sinning. I hear everyday on the new that someone is killed or someone robbed a bank or did something wrong. That's sin right there killing someone stealing money or doing stuff that is wrong. I bet when you were a kid you sinned because you didn't listen to your parents. That is one of the ten commandments honor your father and mother. you are sinning right now because you choose to be an atheist and not serve God. I have sinned in my life. I disobey my parents when I was little. I stole something when I was little from the store one time. Actually Jesus was the one who lived free of sin. The devil tried to tempt Him when he was wandering for forty days without food. Romans 3:23 says For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.We were perfect before Adam and Eve sinned but since they choose to eat the fruit because the serpant tempted them we have sinned.
