[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many people simply choose to redefine Christian. A christian refers by definition to a follower of Christ. The only things we know about Christ are from the Bible. Therefore a Christian is one who follows the teachings of Christ in the Bible.

Denominations have different interpretations of words/ themes  / what should have more importance etc however at their core to be a Christian denomination or for someone to call themselves a Christian, they have to follow the teachings of Christ. [/quote]
Yes, and Christ said He would rise again from the grave. So if you don't accept that, you are clearly not regarding the teachings of Christ.

This is a common red herring from non-believers, that all Christ taught was "be good to others." That's not at all the entirety of his teaching. He taught that was God in the flesh, that He was the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy of a Messiah, that He would die for our sins, that He would rise again bodily, that He would ascend to Heaven, and that He would return to judge the wicked.

If you throw out everything after "be good to others," you are not following the teachings of Christ.[/quote]
This is very Catholic, which she is not. I would not rule her out of the label Christian though.[/quote]

No. The above is very Biblical. The catholic label has nothing to do with it [/quote]
