Christianity a partner finder?

i heard a particular someone say this not long ago.
all of us have qualities that we pride ourselves on.
for me.. it probably would be me fitness that i would pride myself on.
If God were to take that away, what is gone? Our pride.

how do we normally look for a girlfriend or boyfriend?
well, first we size ourselves up. and see and judge for ourselves if we kind of 'qualify' to be with that person. so.. when God takes away my fitness, would like i still qualify to be loved?

And also, what if being a Christian becomes a pride issue that makes us seem a 'class higher' so to speak than the normal guy?
to a Christian girl, or guy, his choices in finding a girlfriend or boyfriend are limited to just Christians. why. its not so much a pride issue, but more a God issue. the only thing that makes a christian different from non christian is the person Jesus.
Not too many people accept this 'christian' Jesus. This weird guy who goes around telling everyone he is God. not many people accept that this Jesus, who is a man, is a God, the God.
There are then again many Christians who call themselves Christians but don't have Jesus in their lives. They might study the bible day and night and live religiously, yet not know God in an intimate way... perhaps not the way a person who sins in the area of porn and knows how easy it is to fall back into bad habits.

The thing about being a Christian, which many people i feel misunderstand is that Christians are big sinners too. You don't have to be perfect to be a Christian. Jesus preached to who?, the lost, the tax collectors, the prostitutes, the con men, the swindlers, the people whom society judged to be unworthy. And what,. they became christians.

The common misperception of a Christian too often is some holy too shoes guy/gal who has no sense of humor and enforces and demands that everyone has to be a Christian or he would burn in hell.Of course that is true. people wouldn't love the hellfire and repent message.

The Christian guy/gal is simply described as someone who has Jesus. All else matters less.

The problem that the church has is probably its use of lingo. Sometimes, in a church, an newcomer would feel completely alien. Its as if in church you have to learn a whole new way to talk. Like.. every word has to be followed by a 'halleighluya!" or. .. amen.. and if u are religious you have to do this and that.. and it makes Christianity seem like some sort of rules u have to follow to attain nirvana.

again i repeat. A Christian just has Jesus.

and Jesus is who?..
i like the way pastor Mark Driscoll describes what Jesus isn't.
Jesus probably wasn't good looking.. there isn't anything in the bible that says Jesus was a handsome man, with long hair long robes, looking like a hippy. Jesus probably was a normal man in appearance. Just think... along the lines of... a carpenter, cuz thats what Jesus was working as when he was alive. He probably had short hair, cuz long hair would get in the way if he was hammering wood. just imagine... a hippy attempting to swing a hammer...all the gangly hair.. flowy robes.. Jesus probably wore short sleeves and was quite toned. He walked alot,so he was lean. but thats about it. Jesus was a normal guy.

He even had friends who saw him grow up like you and me. They obviously didn't think he was God because he was too normal to be anyone other than a man. they had seen this man, Jesus grow up. Yet these were the very men who couldn't believe that Jesus's claims about himself being God were true. Imagine me...
telling you i'm God.

ya right.. go tell the mountain to me and i want to see that happen too and i'll believe you are God.

i've always wondered why people would be so wary about Christians. they are like salesmen who come knocking on your door..
* Knock knock*
*Door opens*

CHristian:.. hi, i'm so and so... My God is so big and you are so small, my God is right and you are wrong and there is nothing you can do about it. My God can cure all diseases, heal all sicknesses, make the blind see and the lame walk. He can even ressurect.if you need any help or advice, give me a call have a nice day!
*door slams*

my point is this..
The issue non-christians have with God probably isnt' Christianity itself or even Jesus as a man. I mean, to them Jesus is probably like Ghandi or Mother theresa or dalai lama or buddha.. he's just another man who teaches to be good. of course with one difference.

Jesus claimed to be God.

THat was the main reason why the religious priests crucified Jesus. And it was the only reason they could think of to crucify him because he was faultless in every other way.. they tried to trap him using the law of Moses and failed miserably... the crowds who followed Jesus were so big initially and he was definitely more popular than any of these boring, stern priests who are totally no fun.Jesus even performed miracles.. he provided for the needs of the people...but still .. these priests, instead of seeing the proof being laid before them of Jesus's divine nature, the priests could only see that they were given 2 choices. They either believed the miracles were really from God and that Jesus was God and worshipped him, because priests by just being priests have to worship a God, or they would simple have to ignore the miracles, the proof of Jesus's divine nature, and accuse him of blasphemy. Ironically, the clubbers, the smokers, the hookers. these probably weren't the people who wanted Jesus dead so much..

its funny.. how i started off writing about Christianity being a partner finder.. and ended up talking about Jesus.. but...
thing is.. at the end of the day, its all about Jesus.
This man who is God, who is our attorney on the day of judgement.. this man who is the son of God in heaven..
This man is called Jesus..

Everything in Christianity hinges on just this person. Everything.
Which is why the da vinci code was so controversial amongst Christians. Everything i believe in about Christianity falls as long as you can prove undeniably that Jesus didn't raise from the dead. You'd just need to prove that and all christianity would be just a pathetic religion that has been nothing more than another altruistic reinterpretation from another philosopher. And only then, will i stop becoming a Christian.
