Can you still be considered a Christian if you:

  • were raised loosely Christian (rarely went to church but still raised on Christian beliefs/prayers/ideals/etc)
  • Believe in God absolutely
  • Think the Bible is a good moral guide but don’t think it’s anything more than just a book (e.g. don’t consider it holy)
  • believe there was a Jesus of Nazareth 2020ish years ago, give or take a few decades, but are on the fence about whether he was actually the son of God or just some dude.
  • still don’t go to church

genuinely curious. asking for a friend.

If not, what would you call that? “quasi-Christian”? I’ve heard some people call it “agnostic” but I was always taught that agnostic meant you were on the fence about whether or not you believed in God, not the other details.

    That’s actually a pretty good point that I hadn’t really considered. Maybe that’s what my friend was hinting at in her own way. will have to ask her next time i see her.
