i'm baptist, and i don't think really any denomination is right, because each has taken it from what it originally was and altered it to fit their needs.

I was raised as a Christian, because my Dad is a Lutheran pastor.  I follow the Bible explicitly, but I do study other religions in order to better debate with people.

I am sorry, but those words you just said were descriptions of Jesus.  I am no Jesus.  The Bible says that a Chrstian is a follower and believer of Jesus Christ who STRIVES to be like the almighty.  The Bible makes it clear that you will fail.  No one is perfect.  I am a Christian because I try to have the best relationship with God that I can, I have and will see people delivered and set free from sin, I try to worship God as much as I can, and I strive to be part of my local church.  The one think that makes you and I human, not God, is the fact that we will never always succeed.  God knew this, so he sent us a way to not have to pay for our sins, he sent his son jesus to lift the burden off our backs and to sacrifice himself for every person on earth.  All you need to do is believe and ask for forgiveness.  That is a REAL Christian.

Just don't follow what others tell you is right.  Find what is right for you.  If Christianity is what you find to be true, follow it the way you think you should. The church is just a building after all.  I relate to what you are saying..I've seen it myself and yes, it was part of why I started searching for my own meaning.  Set yourself as an  example of your faith but remember, others have the right to believe or not believe.

Jesus was following God's plan for His life, which was just PERFECT, if you ask me.  I'm glad He did.\n\nBaptism was part of God's plan,also..It represented the old life (going under) and the new life beginning (being brought up out of the water).\n\nHave you been baptized?

I truly agree with you. I am catholic, and when someone asks me about my religion i answer them that i am christian, because my Lord is Jesus Christ, i follow Him, and that makes me a Christian. And sometimes, when i get specific that i am Christian-Catholic people surprises, but they get rational and get it all. Because it is as u say, we are christians too, our Lord is not the Pope, our lord is not Mr. Catholic 2006, our Lord is JESUS CHRIST and no other one, and people who truly belives in Christ and follow what He came to teach us, are then Christians. \nGod bless u all!

I'm Christian. I love Jesus. I also find your question really funny. A lot of people seem to find your question offensive, but I think they have missed your point! (Of course I could be wrong. You might be a horrible guy and I'VE missed the point.)\n\nI know exactly what you mean though, I have only heard this term related to Jesus and the dinosaurs!

YES.  According to the good ol' American Heritage Dictionary, a Christian is one who professes "belief in Jesus as Christ or following the religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus."  I'm a Catholic, and I know this describes me, as I'm sure it describes you as well.\n\nI have come to understand a bit more about why sometimes Protestants say Catholics aren't Chritistian, however.  Hopefully, these will help you understand your friends' logic:\n\n1. The Saints.  It's thought that by praying to saints, Catholics are worshiping them.  This isn't true, of course, for reasons I won't get into here - I'm sure you know them - but you can see how people might think you're not Christian if they thought this was true.\n2. The Bible.  Because Protestants don't have a Church structure the way Catholics do, Protestants often end up paying a lot more attention to the Bible, memorizing passages etc.  It seems to them that Catholics ignore the Scriptures and so the word of Christ.  This isn't true either, but it's a not-infrequent misconception.\n3.  The Eucharist.  Catholics say that the Eucharist is the essence of Christ, present with us.  We worship Christ in and through the Eucharist.  If you're Protestant, you (generally) think the Eucharist is bread, symbolic of Christ, but not actually Christ.  So if they see us worshiping God in the Eucharist, they think we're bowing down to a piece of bread.  You can see how this would seem sacriligious?\n4. Salvation.  Generally, Protestants believe that salvation can only come from accepting Christ as your savior.  Essentially, no matter how good a person is on their own, because they're not perfect, they wouldn't be able to make it to heaven if it weren't for Chirst's sacrifice.    Catholics believe this is true, but that you also have to 'walk the walk, not just talk the talk.'  Salvation is based on the acceptance of Christ as savior combined with good works.  The reason some Protestants have a problem with this is because they're thinking we're discounting the importance of Christ's sacrifice and that we think we could get into heaven on our own. \n\nSo you see, the concept of Catholics not being Christian is generally based on misconceptions.  Try explaining these concepts to your friends (without proselytizing) and try to find out why they think Catholics don't count as Christians.  We all believe in Christ as the source of eternal life.  Maybe you can help them see this.

God has never said that you must choose a denomination to love him.And for those who have a true relationship with God there is no building on Earth that can come between them and their Lord.Whether you choose to go to church is your own choice.But God is in your heart and soul not in a building.If you know in your heart that you have done your best to be a good person then God knows.No one can tell you that.Only he can.

Christian\nBecause it says so  in the Bible

Is everyone talking about being Christian as the way Christianity should be or is everyone just talk about Christianity depending on who's Christianity it is?   \n\nChrist is one. Don't you still get it? But you morons divide him like a cake. You are all finger pointing mouthfrothing selfrighteous egotrippers far far different from what Christ represent. I am a Catholic and I don't do selective breeding. I believe that those who confess that Christ is his or her saviour is CHRISTIAN. If he or she has some deficiency about understanding what Christianity is all about, don't despise them but instead win them back, imbeciles.\n\nYou all keep on believing that you are right, then who's wrong? Jesus gathered everyone but you are scattering everyone by confessing your own truth. When are you all going to learn, people? Jesus Christ is tired of all of you, selfrighteous mammals.

I am a Christian.  The Bible says believing in Christ is the only way to be redeemed.  \n\nJesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."\n\nJohn, ch. 14, vs. 6; NIV

I'm a true Christian and so is anyone else that follows the message of Jesus (The Christed One).\n\nIt's not about sin or damnation, but love and acceptance.

I used to be Christian.\n\nI used to be Catholic.\n\nI used to be Baptist (for about 15 minutes before the Pastor of the church assaulted me).\n\nI used to be New Age.\n\nI used to be Lutheran.\n\nWhen I realized that the christian movement was full of liar, hypocrites, deviants and scam artists, I became pagan!\n\nPagans can be all of the negative things that I mentioned in the sentence above, but at least we are not afraid call our bretheren on and make them take responsibility for their wrongdoings.  Christians blame the devil and :::BOOM!:::  They have a clean slate... so they can do it all over again.  Example... Benny Hinn.
