Why I Am Not Christian Revealed Bible The

Are there any real Christians? The fundamental basis for one to rightfully call themselves "Christian" certainly should, at the minimum, include following the basic teachings of Jesus Christ.

I believe the core of Jesus' message can be found in just a few sentences from The Bible:

And

Of course, there are several other things that Jesus said, which seem important in discerning what it truly means to be a follower of Jesus, but I think we need to at least commit to those fundamental principals before we give too much weight to other, more confusing and perhaps contradictory or vague passages of The Bible.

Comments: I am not a declared Christian but I believe many of the things that Jesus taught are true and good. The interpretation of what he said is where the conflict lies. I try to be as Jesus taught without aligning myself to any particular religion or doctrine. The ability to be good is in all of us.

Which is answered by the words of Jesus found in Matthew 22:36-40.

Perhaps we should amend "Love thy neighbor as yourself" to include "Unless they are building Iphones and cheap stereo equipment for slave wages" just so that we can all remain consistent.
