Am I not good enough to be a Christian?

No, God is not us. No, we are not God.

No, the Holy Spirit does not dwell in all of us. I really hope you draw closer to Christ and, as you do, that you will not feel the need to correct His words. He meant what He meant--always.

I also am not good enough to be a Christian. I think your confusing being a idol of christianity with being christian. Many christians only honor "good christians" which is wrong. Remember God was with the ill and sinners. They were for the ministry. The others needed no ministry and were ignored by Christ. They were the ones that crucified him.

For some Christians that is not an issue now days. In my own church denomination, people are free to follow their own conscience on this matter.

The most important part for us as Lutherans is what you believe. How you live exactly is going to be between you and God ultimately. In a sinful world, no one can force you to be a martyr and to take away your freedom. We are not a church of moral purity, we try to deal with life realistically.

Sorry I must have misunderstood your question

Yes everything that you are saying does in fact indicate a strong belief system I may have overlooked. My apologies for not misunderstanding and jesus is the way as he specifically stated in the book of John.
