Where in here do you see this is "about defining what and who is a Christian." You can stay on topic or we can let a moderator decide.....
The topic sentence means nothing....it is an attention grabber designed to get people to come and take a look.....guess you are not a marketing major......You have conveniently left out the topic sentence from the OP.
Oh.I appreciate your concern, but what I have found over the years that if I were to presume to offer an specific "core beliefs" then one denomination or another will object that I have not represented them correctly. The core beliefs differ from the various denominations, making it impossible for me to address the Christian community as a whole. The best I can do is ask which doctrines are essential to being a Christian and see what is presented.

Oh.
In that case the deciding doctrine would have to be two very similar things that actually work together flawlessly;
Love GOD wholly, utterly, without waiver, in all you do at all times. (This means not placing anything above him(idol worship(sin)))
It sorta causes the other, really;
To love God's creation(loving kindness) also unconditionally as God is ever giving and long suffering for our sake.
Basically live in this physical existence, in the spirit, in thanksgiving and respect in reciprocation and recognition of God and our way towards him made available by the teachings, example, and self sacrifice of the Christ.
Respectfully,
Peace
I am not harping on you....we all just want to stay on topic as per the OP.I'm not the topic of the thread. It doesn't matter if I'm a marketing major or not. This seems to be a personal attack on my ability to understand topic sentences. I also feel that the continual harping to stay on topic, the topic I defined, has crossed over to being harass
something you would like to say.....directly.....?
Awww fiddlesticks. I posted that on the wrong thread. Lol. Sorry.something you would like to say.....directly.....?
Happened to me once or twice ten times.....Awww fiddlesticks. I posted that on the wrong thread. Lol. Sorry.
BwahahahaHappened to me once or twice ten times.....
Why don't you give me a list of the terms that you will accept as being equated with "Christians" (in addition to the term "disciples").
Because that is not the OP......How can we get you back on track?If you don't mind, why don't we focus on essential doctrines for awhile
To be honest, I thought you were trying to be humorous with your earlier posts, because they were so preposterous. Maybe I'm cynical, but it seems that you are deliberately trying to disrupt the thread. Why? This is an important topic. Maybe the answers aren't easy to find, but that only makes the discussion more interesting.Shall we stay on topic or should we let a moderator decide?.....your choice....
I think you are the one who is not on track. Please, read again OP. Hopefully this time you will understand it.Because that is not the OP......How can we get you back on track?
