From what you have posted on this so far, I see a clear lack of understanding of what Christianity is. No, it does not mean belonging in a group. It is not a cult, a club, or a membership. It means you have faith in Jesus and his teachings. Same as other main religions, and yet you insist that being a Christian must accept rulings of a treaty a convention, or being a member in a council or group. Was that what Jesus taught? Where is that in the Bible? Please feel free to point it to me.

This also highlights lack of understanding what the Protestant church and its branches are and why. I am not a Jew, so I am not qualified to tell some of them they can't be considered as Jews. Same with other religions. Who am I to tell some of them that they don't belong in their own religion?

You are entitled to your opinion, but not to present it as if it was a fact. And no, no one speaks for the entire world, so your assertion Armenians are not Christians, and then in another comment you even argued they are not Caucasians, not white, then implied they were soviet Russians. Armenian history goes back thousands of years, and is literally among the oldest civilizations. You don't have to take my word for it. That information can easily be verified.

Not sure where are you getting this revisionist history from and this false stuff about Christianity and about Armenians.

You also admitted that you are not a Christian, and not a believer in God. So given that, why do you think that you can decide who can be a Christian and who can not? Since when being a Christian means a required membership in a group?

Strange argument to make that only certain Jews and certain protestants can be accepted, then you added some Catholics, and "exotic Protestants", and everyone else is disqualified.

The bottom line on this. If Armenians are not Christians, then no one is. You are arguing the earliest church and the first Christian nation in history is not a Christian nation and its citizens, and the entire Armenians around the world, known for their strong Christian faith not Christian. Forget big stretch. That is a false argument and not rooted in history, data or facts.

That's the bottom line and I don't want to keep repeating what I said.

Feel free to do some research on this, or better, visit Armenia. You'll be surprised to see how far from the truth your arguments are.
