What is a "Christian"?

What do you consider a "Christian"?

 

I'd say anyone who belongs to one of the Christian cults and actually believes the stuff those guys preach

 

A Christian is a person who believes in God and Jesus Christ.

 

Like Muslims for example?

 

Followers of Jesus Christ

 

I agree with SuviCyriacNadakuzhackal. Now say that five times fast. SuviCyriacNadakuzhackal SuviCyriacNadakuzhackal SuviCyriacNadakuzhackal SuviCyriacNadakuzhackal SuviCyriacNadakuzhackal.

 

hahaha..

I am trying to grab the honor for "World's Toughest Last Name" from Arnold Schwarzenegger!!!

Wish me good luck!!

 

A Christian is supposed to follow the teachings and instructions from Jesus. That means all of the teachings and instructions. Not just pick and choose the ones that suit best.

There are many that have taken the true meaning of what a "Christian" is and applied all sorts of pagan beliefs. It is a shame. In fact, many do not know the main purpose why Jesus gave his life. If they did know and applied what they learned as taught, their lives would turn in a different direction for sure.

One who believes Jesus is the son of God, and died for our sins, and was resurrected

 

IMO Christian is the one who:

1. Loves everyone.
2. Always ready to help others.
3. Very honest.
4. Never lies.
5. Non violent person.
6. Takes the last seat at the table.
7. Generous person.
8. Treats others as they are his brothers and sisters.
9. Loves God.
10. Knows that he came on Earth not be served, but to serve.
12. Knows that the Divine teaching of Jesus Christ is the door of the Kingdom of God.

Plus more ......

 

What happened to 11?

 

11. Spiritually and physically clean person.

 

One who practically does what Christ taught, not mere worshiping alone. Ao anyone can become Christian without having to leave is religion (I'm alluding to the Good Samaritan parable, here)

 

In that case, i'll take one cafe latte. And make it fast.

 

Hmmm...I see the following instructions do not get a mention here:

Matthew 24:14
Matthew 28:19-20
Matthew 6:7-8
Matthew 7:21
Matthew 10:11-15

I agree with data-analyse

 

A Christian is a person who, in light of the many open-ended questions that life presents, turned to a fantasy in order to ease their mind. This original weakness often expands exponentially, turning the average believer into a foolish zealot. A Christian is a person who wastes their life prostrating to a "god" that doesn't exist instead of focusing their praise on nature and its great mysteries where it belongs.

A life spent praying to and worshiping a fictional character is a life entirely wasted. There are no exceptions to this rule, even if you haven't yet figured it out.

 

Psalm 137:9.

 

lol i love number 6, What a complete load of rubbish. By thier reasoning there can only be one christian around each table, Otherwise nobody would get to sit down.

 

Very true.
