Aneirin -> What does it mean to be Christian ? (9/10/2010 6:30:48 PM)

I will concern myself with Christianity for the moment, but I wish to ask of those that claim the title, what does it mean to be a Christian these days ?

What do you do, attend worship and teaching or just cling to the title because you were brought up with it ?

And of those that attend worship and teaching, are those teachings just for yourself, or do you practice what you are taught ?

Of others be they of your religion or not, do you treat them as a Christian should, in accordance with the teaching you have received ?

Are you Christian all the time, or do you pick it up and put it down as suits your mood ?

I hate to say this, but being a christian varies with whatever denomination you happen to belong to.

You could ask 100 people this exact question and gain 100 different answers.

The possibility that some of us never attend "worship" never crossed your mind.. why? Why assume a christian is either in church every day the door is open, else they are merely clinging to a title?

Cant say, i dont attend.

I treat everyone with respect upon first meeting them. Its up to them to keep or lose that respect based upon their interation with me.

In order to answer that question, the first would have to be defined. But, consider this... you seem to want to restrict christians to certain actions and moods. even a christian has limits.
