Christ defined it (In practice) as Christianity. Christ told us that the whole of 'Christianity' is based on two commands, not a list of strict guidelines.

Quote:A lot of the people who I've seen arguing with you (including myself) don't like that you seem to answer that question by using your own, personal definition of what a Christian is.
Everything being defined by me is straight unfiltered bible. I do not use the typical 'christian' approach when discussing matters. Meaning I am not repersenting a given denominations doctrine or offical stand/position of the church. That is why most of you are having difficulty constructing a viable arguements. For the majority of the arguements you bring to the discussion have been purpose built around deconstructing a given denomination's doctrinal views.

Quote: You can have your opinion, of course, but it makes debate a nightmare of shifting goalposts if you don't clearly define it beforehand.
then ask a question rather than assume that you know everything their is to know about christianity/the bible.

Quote: (And no one ever clearly defines what specific type of Christian they are.)
I have many many many times on this web site. I am a bible Based Christian. I speak where the bible speaks and remains silent where the bible is silent.

You're missing the point. There is no single way to define the bible, and your interpretations are not automatically more valid than anyone else's. Every Christian claims to be a bible-based Christian, and you all interpret it differently.
What falls away is always, and is near.

Also, I am not pretending to be female, this profile picture is my wonderful girlfriend. XD
