@eladar saidA Christian is defined by his or her beliefs with regard to the life, death and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. A Christian believes that God sent his son Jesus, the messiah, to save the world. A Christian believes that Jesus was crucified and died in order to offer the forgiveness of sins and the opportunity for "salvation". A Christian believes that Jesus rose from the dead and later ascended to heaven. A Christian believes these things and endeavours to obey God's commandments, including those that Jesus is believed to have stipulated while he was alive, and demonstrate, by doing good works, that their faith is not dead.
I am telling you your belief about what defines a Christian is wrong.
@eladar saidApparently, you are in need of a guiding hand.
Your opinion is your opinion. Perhaps I am a Christian perhaps I am not. Either way it is certainly none of your business.
I am telling you your belief about what defines a Christian is wrong. Get over yourself.
John 8:31-32.
Look it up and apply it to your life.
Then follow up with John 8:33-47.
You're welcome.
@eladar saidEvery religion has concepts of "good and evil". You asked me to define a Christian. And so I defined a Christian. And you have not yet said what is wrong with the definition. If you think it is wrong, offer an alternative definition of a Christian.
@FMF
Ok, I will play, at least for a bit.
The most basic question is good vs evil. What is it, how is it defined.
If one answers this question incorrectly, one is definitely not a Christian.
If one answers this question correctly, then one might be a Christian.
This is the first question.
@fmf saidOh, you wanted to know what it means to be a Christian, not others. Others are irrelevant.

@fmf saidI said I would play, at least for a little. The first part of the true definition of what a Christian is was given earlier.
What is your definition of a Christian? You asked for mine. I offered it. Now, what is your definition of a Christian?
It is not just my definition. It is the only definition.
@eladar saidThis definition...
No, the definition I am building. Your definition is a joke.
