I am trying to understand why people are Christians and what it means to them to be a Christian. So, I have three questions.

What caused you to become a Christian?

What does being a Christian mean to you?

How do you think Jesus wants you to live?

I was born Christian, and was baptized as a baby. I think Jesus wants me to live believing in Him, knowing I will live forever, regardless of how I act (Beleif will ensure I don't get too nasty, and we're all capable of the same except I believe and others don't).

I don't think one can be 'born' a Christian, one becomes Christian through baptism.

Do you ever question it?

I have had doubts, yes. But then something happens, like last night, where I was thinking about something competely random, and my wife thought the exact same thought earlier in the day... This happens all the time to us, because, I think, we're one flesh through the sacrament of marriage. Then I'm reminded of how there is something supernatural going on with life.

Are you married? Maybe you have had similar experiences.

Being Christian is like being married to God.

Jesus is Great. I knew this at young age. He proved to me a few years ago. Christians tell me that I am not a Christian, but I think Jesus is Great. He appeared to me, so He thinks different than those Christians

Hurt Never, Help Ever

No one could be a Christian who is antiChrist. The mass majority of sectarian members deny that Jesus came in the same sinful flesh that all man has. That is a doctrine of antiChrist. It robs Jesus of his glory in overcoming the world and it's lusts.

I've been divorced twice and doubt that I will ever remarry but I do have many interesting coincidences often. God is in my life.
