The deeply held conviction that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who rose from the dead for humanity's redemption.

Are Catholics Christians? The Orthodox? KJV only fundamental southern independent baptists? Womyn bishop Anglicans? Christians seem to not be able to define who is a Christian and who is not, in all these Christian threads there are people going around saying why x denomination are not Christians.

Nietzsche gave the best definition. In essence it's the religion of the powerless trying to guilt-shame the powerful into submition by the power of words, the weak, the strong, the slave, the master, etc. In short, slave-morality: the religion.
Inb4 muh Charlemagne.
Medieval Christianity is a religion of aristocrats, knights and rulers, so it obsviously downplays and reinterprets its original slave-moralistic elements, but Protestantism has brought them back, and PC, SJWism are some of its new, secularized incarnations.

Wow yeah, it's almost like religion is a deeply human concept that reflects different times, peoples and societies or something

If you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus is LORD and God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (Rm 10:9)

Christianity is the belief in the death, resurrection, and deity of the historical person Jesus of Nazareth.
Brayden Howard
Christianity is not a monolith, ecumenism is really a big joke and should be discarded.
From my perspective, no, catholics, anglicans, protestants are not christians, the patriarchate of Constantinople I am also starting to see many problems with.
Nathan Jones
Because it's an external definition. The apostles just called themselves Jews.
Jaxson Ramirez
That strawman though.
Mason Taylor
They can.
However, definitions are labeling limitation. So you can only gain so much from one.
One who follows Christ, is Christian. That is pretty much it. You understand the wisdom of His teaching, you are a Christian. You pray to Him and meditate upon Him and His teaching, you are a Christian.
All separation of Christian are because of man-made division, the illusion of exclusivity of the church.
Cooper Cooper
Nietzsche doesn't actually understand Christianity but rather he believed in his own bias opinion which he held so strongly and doesn't go as far into Christianity as he could have
Elijah Miller
Philosophy and Religion in ancient times are not separate
Ryder Wright
What about modern "Only-New-Testament" Christians, are they Christians?
Luke Wilson
Pretty dumb considering the OT has all the cool shit in it.
Jack Ramirez
>are they Christians?
According to who?
Henry Sanchez
The NT is the only one that matters, including the OT into the Bible was a mistake
Isaac Hill
They follow the same Christ, but Christ mentions if we don't believe in Moses how will we believe in Him.
Big controversy because you have OT/NT Christians and only NT Christians, then OT only Jews and strictly Koran only Muslims all believing in the same God, separated by their lack of love for each other.
Justin Fisher
According to a popular paradigm of Christianity, but only to that handful.
