Resolved Question

Christian agnostic?

I don't understand this term. Christians believe in Christ, right? Agnostic don't believe, or disbelieve, in anything. Agnostics don't "know".

Main Entry: 1ag·nos·tic
Pronunciation: ag-ˈnäs-tik, əg-
Function: noun
Etymology: Greek agnōstos unknown, unknowable, from a- + gnōstos known, from gignōskein to know — more at know
Date: 1869
1 : a person who holds the view that any ultimate reality (as God) is unknown and probably unknowable; broadly : one who is not committed to believing in either the existence or the nonexistence of God or a god
2 : a person unwilling to commit to an opinion about something

— ag·nos·ti·cism -tə-ˌsi-zəm noun

So, aren't the terms mutually exclusive?

Zeggle	Posted Aug 30th, 2009 at 12:00PM Agnostic Creationism is the belief that humanity, life, the Earth, and the universe were created in their original form by a deity of some form, but that, as in agnostic thought, the identity of said deity is unknown, or inherently impossible to prove.

Fourandahalfdays	Posted Aug 30th, 2009 at 12:51PM It's really simple. You believe that Christ walked the face of the Earth, but you don't believe in the Bible or religion as a whole. Rated: +1Vote for this!
idolno1	Posted Aug 30th, 2009 at 1:25PM I don't even know what that means. Anyway, to add your own theories is against what God says to do. So right there should tell you whether that is the right thing to do or not. Deuteronomy 12:32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it. Proverbs 30:5-6 Every word of God [is] pure: he [is] a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

britnude	Posted Aug 30th, 2009 at 4:32PM They are a contradicton in terms, a christian is a follower of christ. An Agnostic is a believer in a god, whoever their god may be. But not a follower of an organised religion, all of which are run by hypocrits, whatever the basis! Rated: +1Vote for this!
JohnDavid2	Posted Aug 30th, 2009 at 5:39PM That is an oxymoron. Agnostic means a belief in a god, but the person does not believe that they can know this god. That is the readers digest version. Rated: +1Vote for this!
