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.

Being a Christian means you admit you are a sinner, so you don.t really become a better Christian. Once you accept Jesus you are justified to GOD so that is as good as it gets. \n\nDoing some of the thing above may make you a happier Christian, You are able to grow in knowing GOD and having a closer more fufilling relationship. \n\nIn every relationship spending time together makes it more fun. Same thing with GOD, prayer and obedience makes Christianity more fulfilling.\n\nAlso Dont buy the snake oil the Joseph smith guy was trying to sell you!

I do not know why you address this to Christian me when it has nothing to do with being a Christian.  Almost being a christian is not being a Christian.  Rewrite it with true Christian values and then we will comment on it as Christian men.  I forgive you.  Jesus loves you.

I am a Christian, but by that I mean a believing, thinking follower of Jesus, not just a cultural Christian. I take my faith seriously, not only in understanding its ramifications and foundations, but in living out its ethic of following the example, teachings, and practice of Jesus.

I do not believe that it is possible to be a Christian and anything else at the same time.  However I do believe it's possible to take from every faith that which will help draw you closer to God and better follow Christ.\n\nBlessed Be

The word Christian means -Christ like, nothing more or less, so if you stop being Christ like (keeping gods laws and statues)then your no longer a Christian. You must keep it up as long as Christ did to be exactly like him.(CHRISTIAN) DID JESUS TAKE A BREAK IN BEING RIGHTEOUS?

Being a Christian is not about what foods you eat or what songs you sing. It's about following Jesus.

An essential part of being a Christian is being a =community=, i.e. the Church.  Christianity is not simply a set of beliefs.  The community of the Church, in all its diversity, has a common history and part of that history is the canonization of its Scriptures.  IOW, at a point in its existance (about 300 years after Christ) the Church came to recognize certain writings as sacred and others as not.  Though this was not universally agreed upon (some parts of the Church recognize the inter-testament books, some times called the Books of the Apocrypha), for the great majority of Christians in the West the canon is closed.\n\nRe. the Gospel of Peter, earlier does not necessarily mean closer to the truth.  FWIW, the Gospel of Thomas is gaining authority among moderate/liberal Christians.\n\nBTW, many of the church "fathers", Luther, Calvin, Zwingli, et al., raised serious questions about what the canon included. \n\nGood question!

The saying is "Christianity isn't a religion. It's a relationship." It means that being Christian isn't just believing something. It's actually talking to and trusting God, and putting your whole life in His hands. It's like a friendship that can never be broken. Christianity isn't just reading Scriptures and obeying commandments. It's truly loving Jesus. It's trusting that if something bad happens, everything will turn out okay, and if it doesn't, there's a reason. Praying isn't simply keeping your religion's rules, it's communicating with the Lord. That's what it means.
