Yeah, it does, You claim it, you own it, they are all fruit.
What you have here is your christian sliding scale.
Really? What happened to needing evidence to support a claim?

No..it doesn't, lol. I guess you dodged a bullet on that one though. You wouldn't exactly pass the litmus test. Christians are people who believe in christ. That, Huggy, is what the word means - literally and practically. That's all it means. Everything else is up for grabs.

I imagine god must have hardened their hearts, like what he did to the pharaoh, to get the result he wanted. While it doesn't explicitly say that, there is precedence for such a thing. Besides that, if Jesus' death was such a good thing, then why the anger at the people who did you a favor?

That you're a complete idiot, lol. So I guess a grecian is someone who is like greece? A magician is someone who is like magic? A logician is someone who is like logic? L2words.
A christian is a person who believes in christ. You think that some christiuans are bad christians™ but that hardly makes them less christian, and more than a few sects take it as a matter of faith that all men are -consigned- to be bad christians™ by default of their fallen nature. You, yourself, meet the criteria for a bad christian, but do not meet your own "christ-like" nonsense. So, I guess, you can have it whatever way you want it, if it means enough to you to embarass yourself while simultaneously ruling -yourself- out as a True Christian™.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I think Huggy got hit with allah envy at some point. Muslim means something cool, christian means something boring and dull, lol.

Do you think you're arguing against me or the actual definition?

- (as a noun) Having a certain profession.
What I posted clearly stated that -ian means either FROM, RELATED TO, OR LIKE.
So Grecian would mean someone or somthing that is FROM or RELATED TO greece...
https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/grecian
Grecian
adjective
Relating to ancient Greece, especially its architecture.
Is there anything else you need schooling on?

These people in question who say they are christians, but that you profess are not christians, are then considered liars/false?
Or are they just really bad at being christian?
If liars, I'm gonna have to give different consideration to the Pew research numbers. Huggy, can you give me some idea/percent of how many out there are false christians?

Therefore 'Christian' means to be like Christ...

Are they the image of Christ? if not they aren't Christian, its that simple.
The false christian are the majority.

Did not 2 million Hebrews leave Egypt yet only 2 out of the 2 million entered the promised land?

OK, good to know. I'll let SteveII know that his numbers are way off.
So, is this "false christian" limited to an individual vase by case basis or can we eliminate whole sects?

There's no sword to stupid for Huggy to fall on, it seems. If all the True Christians™ have suddenly disappeared, somebody ought to inform their next of kin.
