How would you answer the question: What is a Christian according to the teachings of Jesus Christ as recorded in The Holy Bible?" According to Jesus in the Bible, he was a Jewish Prophet who was sent only to the Jews to reaffirm the Mosaic Laws.

Shasta's Aunt Salam,
you are right also according to Jesus quoted in John 4:22

salaams robin
there were no christians around when jesus(p) was teaching. so how could he difine " christian". the name CHRISTIAN did not exsist till 60-70 ce. it was first give to the gentile followers of the christ in antioch ,as stated in ACTS. and the RELIGON OF CHRISTANITY AS NOW did not exsist till 350 ce. thats why no evidence of " christanity " exsists before that time. i'm not saying the followers of christ did not exsist. but going by what we know as christian today little or none have been found.
but by reading the WORDS of the christ he taught that:
there was no trinity.
no original sin
not to worship him
he was not the decendent of david
he was not a sacrifice for sin
we are responible for are own repentence
he was no more the son of god than we are
money and wealth meant knowthing to god and was not a
" devine " gift to show how rightious you are.
HARM NO ONE in his name.
also christanity is a religon " DEVELOPED" with jesus as the GOD HEAD
jesus came to declare that GOD ALONE was the center of worship.
so when did jesus ever define A CHRISTIAN in his own teachings??
love

As a Muslim, and this may sound strange to you as an answer, but I would expect a Christian who follows the teachings of Jesus to be just like us, regardless of where his teachings are, be it in the Bible or the Holy Qur'an, Jesus is the same and his teachings are the same, some people find it hard to believe that Jesus is a mighty prophet of Allah, our only real difference is that the Holy Qur'An has not been altered since it was first revealed, and therefore we can trust the words written there in concerning Jesus, his mission and his teachings, where as with the Bible there have been many alterations, and please try to understand that the concept of Jesus as the son of god was not introduced until some 300+ years after his death and resurection. Christians or followers of the Christian faith are not or should not be looked upon as alien to us Muslims, and as rightly said before me on this particular thread, any person of any faith can perform what is commonly known as a christian act of kindness, an act of kindness does not make a person a christian, it makes them a human being and fulfilling the general nature as intended for us by our collective creator Allah. |

Thats a good reply Mashallah.i would like to bring your attention to the below verse in the Quran.
[2:62] Surely, those who believe, those who are Jewish, the Christians, and the converts; anyone who (1) believes in GOD, and (2) believes in the Last Day, and (3) leads a righteous life, will receive their recompense from their Lord. They have nothing to fear, nor will they grieve.
The verse above does not mean that any Christian or any jew or any Muslim or any others will receive recompense from GOD.The verse points to those Christians ,Jews, Muslims,Hindus,Buddhists etc etc who worship GOD alone and do not set up any partners besides GOD.I personally believe that there are such monotheists in every community and even though they may be born in a family of idol worshippers or live a sinful life,they will eventually not be satisfied with what they have or what they are doing and start searching the truth.And when such people study the Quran,they get satisfied and accept Islam.The truth is that they were True Muslims all along or destined to be True Muslims.Blessed are such believers and they will certainly receive recompense from their LORD.
