I've told you what MY expectations are. I believe we survive death in a spirit form anyaway, indep. of Xian beliefs, and I have ample personal evidence to assure me of this. I believe it's advantageous to be good and spiritual in this life for your advancement in the next.

>>Yes - I guess that's what I was trying to get out of him - what he thought a Christian was.

>>Here's my take on it...
>>
>>A Christian is one who admits that he or she is a sinner and that they desire to change their sinful lifestyle and the eternal punishment that it brings (Romans 3:10 and 23). They would trust in what Christ did for sinners on the cross as a way to satisfy God's demand that their sinful actions be punished (Romans 5:8). They would receive Him as the only way to eternal life (John 14:6, Ephesians 2:8-9; John 1:12; 6:40). And...they would live their lives under His Lordship - that is they would attempt in all they do to live a life that is in accordance with the pricinples found in the Bible.

>That is indeed your take on it. Do you accept that others will have a different definition and treat them as equal ?? Will you love them just like you love the people sharing your definition ??

Walter,

think.. he is disciple of Jesus.. This is exactly what Jesus says.. to love the other exactly equal he love himself.. right now, his getting an attitude of love.. sharing with you something that really change his life.. His is not sharing point-of-view.. Far from it.. His is sharing something that can save your soul..

If you get a deep inside on the definition of a christianity you'll discover there is no problem with the sinners.. The sinner is loved.. The problem is on the sin ONLY..
