After all, it's your definitions I'm asking for clarity on. You're the one who introduced this concept of "true christian" vs "normal christian". So based on your definition of a "true christian", I'm just wanting to know how a normal christian is different. It's not a trick question and it's not a rhetorical question/ Answer it.
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself, it's the biggest enemy

Modern-day people think it is relative, not Gospel. However, it is hard to tolerate views that are dogmatic - like monolithic religions... (i.e. being tolerant to intolerance ?)

Corona means crown,so if one fears the corona virus then one fears not this specific virus Covi-19 but the crown of viruses named by scientists in 1968.(family of viruses that got its name from its appearance)
Getting back to the fear factor we can either wear a crown of fear or a crown of faith that gives us victory over fear.
Well if you have faith in your god you wont be running of to see a doctor if you catch it then since all you need is faith
And can you tell me why Christians fight as hard as atheists to stay alive, not showing any faith in your god then are you. if you had as much faith as you lot claim you would be running towards death as fast as you could since you keep telling us this planet is evil and a awful place.
When it comes down to it most of you have as much faith in a god as I do
@Rooinek: There is no difference between a Christian and a true Christian. The only reason Seb is referring to a true Christian is to differentiate between a Christian and someone who is a Christian in name only and who might go to Church but does not open his heart to God.
@Crusadersfan: Christians do not fear death in the same way atheists do but all humans have a built in survival instinct that prevents us from willingly going to meet our Creator. Christians also have a desire to do some good on earth and to make it less of an evil and awful place before they die.
@Moonrover: Wear your crown of Faith with great pride, my friend. Amen!
Ole Crusader,when you cross over a bridge you place faith in that bridge.You place faith in the construction,faith that it hasn't corroded away in it's materials.Faith is a vast subject ....did David just place faith in his slingshot and skill nope......he relied on God above.
Place your faith today in the unseen God,the God who is able to deliver you from eternal death.
Atheists generally give up easier than Christians,one only has to look at the suicide statistic of predominantly atheist countries to ratify that.Why don't they seek help,why don't they employ scientific methods to live longer,because they have lost hope,hope in the lif e hereafter.
I can show you a million bridges, show me one god.
And what do you mean lost hope in the after life, I have never believed in an after life. How can I lose something I have never had?
"Atheists generally give up easier than Christians"
What a complete and utter piece of drivel this is...…. I respect any and most Christian's opinions, but this takes the cake
So Christians are now able to handle more difficult obstacles or other issues or things in life...…. because they believe there is a God?
Never have I heard such pure and unadulterated shit
"Religious participation is linked to lower suicide rates in many parts of the world, including the United States and Russia, but does not protect against the risk of suicide in sections of Europe and Asia, according to new research"
There are just far too many different reasons for suicide, to just link it to only being a Christian or a atheist
So to make a blanket statement like that is just ludicrous
Hsieh found that religious participation is related to higher suicide rates in:
- Southern Europe, which includes Croatia, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia and Spain
- Western Europe, which includes Austria, Belgium, France, Germany and Netherlands.
- East Asia, which includes China, Hong Kong, Korea, Japan and Taiwan.
