Who is a Christian?

I prefer Jesus' own definition, from John 13:34 - 13:35:

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 


By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

When you get into the theological (and what some would call supernatural or otherworldly) aspects of Christianity, you immediately start losing people -- building walls against others including those who do, in fact, "have love one to another."

That's because the true nature of God is simply beyond human comprehension. (I'd guess it's well beyond the comprehension deficit an ant would have for quantum theory). No wonder people differ on the paradigm it's all framed in.

When you stick with the Earthly portions of Christ's teachings, you let in and join hands with all the good-hearted people of the world.

Which is exactly what Jesus would have done. IMO, it's exactly what HE WAS DOING.

Just my opinion.

ALSO my opinion: This is exactly what we need here for "the movement."

We're out to reduce hatred and other emotional sickness and to foster love and and emotional health. We're trying to build a sane, healthy society, and ultimately a sane, healthy world.

Let's not get bogged down on theology.

All who "Love thy neighbor", or at the very least are willing to be honest and to respect the rights of others (the minimum version of "Love thy neighbor") should be welcome here.

Matthew: 
18:1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? 


18:2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, 


18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 


18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, 
the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 


18:5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. 


18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Mark: 
10:13: And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. 


10:14: But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. 


10:15: Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.

Luke: 
17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

John: 
13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 


13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
