Insert standard safe haven disclaimer statement here: ___________...

....I was going to post this in the "other" place, but thought better of it, but I still want to share, so I am posting it here, where I am "safe":

The real interesting question in my mind...

...is: "are there any True Christians™"

Meaning: is there any single person that all other self proclaimed True Christians™ would unanimously agree is also a True Christian™

For clarity I would limit my inquiry to only be applicable to Real People, i.e., no fictional characters in literature, poetry, movies, songs or other human derived constructs.

1. Jesus doesn't count,

as he wasn't a real person.

My guess would be "No".

[trotsky]

2. And even if he was real, he wouldn't count.

Because he was a Jew.

3. Siddhartha Gautama?

and of course John Hagee.....

4. Jimmy Carter, the one and only..

if there were more like him, I think I could like Christians.

[Lordquinton]

5. Close

But he wasn't all together with marriage equality.

[Curmudgeoness]

6. Gandhi?

When I think of the way Christian are instructed to live their lives, that is the closest I can come.

I do know that all the self-proclaimed Christians that I know don't really try very hard to walk the walk---probably because they can do whatever they want as long as they have accepted Jesus as their personal savior. I don't know how that escape clause even got into the Bible.

7. Probably not, because some self-proclaimed TCs say no Catholic can be a TC

while some say only a Catholic can be a TC.

If you accept the existence of Peter, Paul and other early Christians, they might agree on them. But schism has been the name of the game for Christianity pretty much from the start.
