(12,344 posts)who doesn't know who else is a Christian, has no definition of Christianity, has only a deist conception of God, holds no doctrines, denies that anything any Christian does has anything to with Christianity, takes no part of Bible literally except for the two most innocuous and generic verses in the entire book, cannot answer any questions about his faith but constantly claims to have already answered them, and behaves as if an eye for eye is always true but turn the other cheek is always false.
Now, I realize I may be wrong about you and what you believe, but your post is an exact illustration of your uniquely indeterminate beliefs. Faced with the simple reality that you have a huge array of choices to define your own Christianity, you refuse to choose one, instead asking a non-Christian to provide a definition for you. Why you think a non-Christian would have any suggestions on for you is a mystery in itself.
I never said I perceive anyone or anything to be "the essential Christian." I only said that every Christian in history, except you, is able to provide a definition of Christianity. Now, being that there have been billions of Christians in history and at present, I suppose it's possible there are a few other singletons such as yourself, but there can't be many because I've never met one, they don't seem to post in online forums, have apparently never written any books, and other Christians seem to have no awareness of them. Perhaps all the others keep their thoughts to themselves? That might be wise since other Christians who have definitions might suspect that the singletons are not actual Christians and shun them, try to convert them, or do something really horrible to them.
