Instead, they believe he's a prophet, etc.. To trinitarian Christians this is the same as not being a Christian at all. The source material can be the same (as catfish seems to have), or the same source with added material, such as JW's & Mormons.
I've always wondered what the essential, bare bones minimum requirements would be for calling oneself a Christian. I'm starting to think there isn't perfect agreement on this among all those who claim to be a Christian.
I assume that someone who finds value in the philosophy of the character of the biblical Jesus but considers all references to heaven and God to be metaphorical, would not technically be considered a Christian by most people who call themselves Christian. I wonder what you would say about such 'Christians', PP and Fr0d0.
