Has anyone met a Christian?

I mean someone who lives exactly like the NT says they should live. Nietzsche once said there was only one true Christian and he died on the Cross. I don't think we've had much progress in that area since 1888.

If so, I am mistaken in posting in this thread. He certainly thinks he's a true Christian.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

The gist of it is that no one actually -can- live up to the faith -of- jesus, as he practiced it.
It's super difficult to engage in a twelve way bromance on a sugar mommas dime as a voluntarily failed carpenter. He was just the best. Sinless. We pretty much need to ride his coat tails into the party if we want to get past the bouncer in the sky. Christians aren't jews because, deep down...they positively -know- that they cannot fulfill the requirements of The Law or approach the example of Christ, wretched creatures that they are. "Jesus" is the only way out for them (or in...I suppose they imagine).  -subsequently, that's why that motherfucker just had to die.
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!
Christians are people who know they need Jesus and what He has offered and then accepts Him and the gift. After that we try to live the best we know how for Him, not for others. When we live for Him others become the beneficiaries of our relationship with Christ. I know the Christians here will understand this and the atheist will scoff and go on living a life that is hell bound.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
