Mechanical Christianity

A mechanical Christian is someone who claims to be a Christian, goes to church, attend all the meetings and services, but doesn't actually live the life of a believer.

They go to church likely because that's how they've been brought up. They wake up every Sunday morning and get ready for church, not because they're hoping to have an encounter with God, but because that little routine has always been a part of their life.

Dressing up and going to church every Sunday is just one of those weekend activities, that they've gotten accustomed to. Hence, they live a mechanical life.

They give tithes and offerings because it's customary to do so. They say grace before meals because it's customary to do as a Christian. But deep down within them, they have no real relationship with God.

They do these things out of habit, mechanically, and not because they have any real conviction in them.

This practice is called Mechanical Christianity.

"Having a form of godliness, but denying the power therefore." - 2. Tim 3:5
A: Sharon used to be a Mechanical Christian at her early life, but I'm glad she finally had an actual encounter with Jesus.

B: Now she comes to church not because she's expected to attend a church as a Christian, but because she actually wants to hear a message from the lord.

A: Yea, mechanical Christianity can lead someone into a false sense of being saved. Only true relationship with God brings enlightenment.

Orthoducks Christian

A Christian who is new to the faith and blindly believes in all trending Christian beliefs out of ignorance, or is simply a life-long sheep to all the popular Orthodox Christian views. Ducks are known for their social behavior and often exhibit following behavior, especially in family groups. Ducklings, in particular, are known to closely follow their parents or adult leaders. An Orthoducks Christian won't take a hard stance on any of the unpopular secondary issues, yet will strongly believe in doctrines like "The Trinity", without even knowing what it is.
"Cassady is an Orthoducks Christian and barely knows the Bible, but would die for his beliefs in a heartbeat."
