Hi there, Christian brothers and sisters,
I have just discovered this site. The idea appears promising in that Christians generally need to make their voices heard. In particular, I think that the Christian youth needs to be more assertive. I myself am a Catholic, a Croat, and I feel that Christianity is threatened, albeit subtly. I will elaborate in a moment; stick with me!
I read somewhere that basically nothing important takes place here. Well this is a problem. I have read your "definition" of a Christian, and I am certain that it lacks two very important features. One is the scope of the definition. In other words, the definition is far too small as to be able to characterize anything let alone the Christian meaning of life. Secondly, perhaps even more important, is the preciseness. If you wish to be persuasive you need to demonstrate your knowledge as well as passion for the modus vivendi you are trying to represent here. Since you say that the Bible is what Christians believe to be the God's Word, you need to provide where exactly does it say that Holy Trinity exists. Or that Jesus Christ is a God... etc.
I am sure you are aware of this; but many sects exist out there, which are trying to prove that Christianity in fact IS NOT what you have outined above. They do this pretty convincingly, let me tell you, of course, unless you know the Bible very well. Or unless one knows the history of that particular sects and wherefrom their believes stem.
So what I propose is a little bit of a Christian argumentative discourse about the Christian way of life. With the information age firmly entrenched in everone's lives, small religious communities, most of whom are heretic in their beliefs, have suddenly obtained a very potent instrument in spreading their conscious and/or unconscious lies. This is why I think an elaboration of Christian way of living, its philosophy, is due...
Regards,
GoRan
