I now think it's possible for a Christian to be a Christian Deist....
Think again. The Christian believes God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself. When a deist comes to that belief, he is no longer a deist.
Steve.
Belief in Christ as God is not the point. The point is that the religion of a Deist is natural religion, i.e reason, versus revealed religion, in the case of a Christian, the Bible. Christians believe in God and that Christ is God because it's been revealed to them in the Bible.
Deists believe in God because of reason and natural theology.
I agree that being a Christian is tough with trying be a Deist too.
