(n) Chris-tian [kris-chuh n]

How do you define Christian? This was a question brought up in class today. I would say that anyone who believes in the teachings of Christ qualifies. However, this can be taken many different ways: Do they have to believe Christ is the son of God? I say no, though of course everyone has a different opinion. With so many different interpretations of the Bible and people carrying out its commands in different ways, I believe finding one definition of "Christian" is impossible. Does someone have to believe in God and Jesus' divinity? Just God? None of the above, but attend church? It is difficult to give a definition to something as complicated as a religion. How do you define Muslim? How do you define Hindu? Why bother defining it in the first place? If someone is a good person and has values people could look at as "Christian", are they? It's difficult to say.

Christianity alone has several sects. How do you think a person from each sect would define "Christian"?
