''Jesus died for our sins'' is a core Christian belief. That's uncontroversial. As an individual you can believe or not believe in it, but hey this is also named the ''Christianity'' forum.

The core beliefs never changed. Rejecting them means we're no longer talking about Christianity but New Age beliefs or something else.

This is the Christianity forum so OP is right, regardless of what people personally believe. He is theologically sound.

If we went to another of the Religious Forums at Spiritual Forums and questioned their core beliefs, we probably would be looked upon as being anti-that religion.

Would you like Buddhism to be changed to 'Common Sense Buddhism'?

And if that is done for all the other religions, what would be left probably would be religions that look virtually identical to each other.

Christianity, like all the other religions, are for the most part, based on faith. A person has to have faith in their respective religion. This is true in all religions.

SPOT ON!

That is what faith, which resonates with all the other religions, is based upon. Without faith, a person is a non-believer of that respective religion.
