Hero For Christ
Christian Existential Humanism...
...is the Christian religion, the point of view of Existentialism, and the social project of Humanism; all as found in the teachings of Jesus.
...is firmly grounded in the Bible, particularly in the Canonical Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John), The Acts of the Apostles and the Letter of James, from the New Testament, and Ecclesaistes, Psalms, Proverbs, Isaiah and Jeremiah from the Old Testament.
...places an emphasis on the social gospel and on the personal relationship with God through Christ.
...believes in evangelism through works and actions.
...traces back to the writings of Søren Kierkegaard, and to the influences of the traditional African-American church, which placed a high premium on individual creativity and social activism.
...believes in the authority of the Bible, as God's revelation to humanity, but does not support a legalist or strictly literal reading of the Bible.

I also call myself an existential Christian, but I feel that an existential needs to state that God is not present to any of our senses, so He does "not" exist; He "is", as Paul Tillich would state, but does not exist. Jesus would not be God, which means that I would be an"gnostic". All here on Earth is "sin", because all that not of God is sin. Christ, as I see it is a "concept" and/or embellishment of Jesus of Nazarath. The Jews are "not" the chosen people, but all people are chosen and equal before God, their creator. Comments?

i am also a christian existentialist. i am currently on the process of finishing school with an secondary education degree and hope to incorporate existencialist educational methods to improving the classroom. my university does not have many who enjoy the realm of philosophy so i have few who are willing to discuss the great aspects of our existance. i found your website very helpful and motivating. if you dont mind i would like to keep in touch with you in the case of a question i may encounter for that you may then have an answer. thank you and God bless- axel

My friends and i really like philosophy and are Christians. i'd just like to say that your website is great...the more i read the bigger the smile got on my face. this is exactly what i've come to believe too. i was turned onto existentialism by one of my Christian Psychology professors and saw it as being the natural compliment and check against Denials of Death that we get caught up in (Ernest Becker). keep up the good work...i pray we can share the balance provided in this philosophy with as many as possible.
