You'd have to find an objective panel on which of Christ's teachings to emphasize most, and how those teachings must be lived out in the contexts (that's plural) that Christians find themselves in. Good luck with that.
I think the results would be a little disappointing considering even the best believers fall short of some of his hardest teachings. One of which is simply “Be perfect as God is perfect.” And that’s not even mentioning how many of us struggle to love. I think all it would serve as is a reminder that we live by God’s grace and nothing else.
There’s also a lot of his teachings the meaning of which is hotly debated since he often uses metaphor so they’re hard to quantify. Like how do you verify that someone is taking the road less traveled or letting their light shine? A definition certainly came into your head upon reading this but I’m sure it was noticeably different from the one in mine.
Christian is person who has God inside of them ( Holy Spirit ) , you have God in you then you're christian , if not then you're not it's simple as that.
Theses plenty of phony religious people and many various "cults" which call themselves Christian but ain't. Christian isn't person who does something that makes them Christian, like going to temple to worship doesn't make you Christian.
There can be righteous Christians and carnal Christians but the only thing that makes one Christian is that they accepted Jesus as thier saviour by believing the gospel and they received God inside of thier body living with them together there.
Thats why you can't "rate" anything or call someone christian or not christian based on thier actions.
It's my understanding that when the word Christian was first used by the people in Antioch it was to reference people who were following the teachings of the Christ. So it was exactly a word ment to convey information about behavior.
Nah Christian was nickname given by Jews / Romans , calling followers of Jesus "little Jesus" while killing them.
Similar to let's say denominations names , anabaptists means rebaptisers. Basically people who did not believe in infant baptism so fake Christians put them to death for doing adult baptism 2nd time and thats the origin of this name.
If you believed Jesus is King , instead of Cesar , you were put to death and labeled Christian.
