And how according to you should a Christian behave?

They should be hastening to kill themselves to get to the heaven.

As Bart Ehrman so wonderfully puts it:

The religion OF Jesus is apocalyptic Judaism,

the religion ABOUT Jesus is Christianity.


Never had a contemporary Christian explain why they do NOT practice the religion OF Jesus, and while I'm never expecting to ever see it explained, maybe someone will step up this occasion and 'splain it, regardless of my expectations . . . . . . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I used to know a rugby scrum half called Christian Feaster.  Does that count?

"I mean someone who lives exactly like the NT says they should live." Sorry if the OP was too verbose for you.

Because I'm not a Jew.

And your claim is BS, that's been explained here lots of times.

I've never met a Christian that another Christian wouldn't tell me isn't a 'true Christian'.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

I've met people who were walking contradictions. I'm betting some of them were christian. So, yeah, in a sence they lived life according to the Bible.

You mumbling apologetic horseshit is not an explanation of anything.  I'm always amused when you assholes think that your silly apologetics are supposed to be accepted at face value by people who have decided that you are full of shit to begin with.
