I was going to write about what it means to be a Christian, but then realized I would first need to know what everyone else thought about the subject, so I could shape my post so it would actually mean something to people.
Then I had another idea. How about a discussion?
What I want to know (and talk about) is... In your opinion, what does it mean to be a Christian, and how do you think it influences the way we should live. To keep everyone from trying to act all high and mighty here, please be honest and admit when even you are living against what you believe.
I would like this to be a discussion, so if you disagree with someone, please explain why and don't just bash others. If bashing occurs, those comments will be deleted as soon as possible. Let's make this an educational discussion, with actual reasons behind what we say (as opposed to just saying, "I don't have a reason, it's just what I believe"). Biblical support would be nice, too. If you disagree with someone, please provide Biblical support as to why.
And go...
What does it mean to be a Christian?
How should being a Christian influence the way we live?
How do you feel you live up to those standards?
