I am not shouting that I'm saved,
I am whispering that I was lost,
That's why I chose his way.
When I say I am a Christian...
I don't speak of this with pride,
I am confessing that I stumble,
Needing God to be my guide.
When I say I am a Christian...
I am not trying to be strong,
I am professing that I am weak,
and pray for straight to carry on.
When I say I am a Christian...
I am not bragging of success,
I'm admitting that I have failed
and cannot even pay my debt.
When I say I am a Christian...
I don't think I know it all,
I submit to my confusion,
asking humbly to be taught.
When I say I am a Christian...
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
my flaws are too visible, but
God believes I'm worth it.
When I say I am a Christian...
I still feel the sting of pain,
I have shared my heartache,
Which is why I seek His name.
I do not wish to judge...
I have no authority. I only know that
I am Loved

You should go with this to the Confession Box and let the priest tell you who the god is that you worship in the trinity.
I guess you will say you do not pray to Jesus but to god but jesus is god in your christian faith, which is why you pray to the cross.
When you say you are christian you do not even know what you are saying.
When you say you are christian you are saying you are a mystery and you cannot be believed or understood or explained.
When you say you are christian you are confessing how blind and deaf and dumb you are, and that is good for you.

That was beautiful. Thank you for sharing it. Seing the wonderful sentiments of the family of God posted in Yahoo Q&A is like a cool glass of water in the desert.
God bless you.

When I say I am Christian, I do not claim to be good. I know that I am saved only by the mercy and grace of my Lord.

Such a very good poem and very inspiring! Yes we are all a Christian, if we follow God's order with all faith and without complain.

What is the question? Great piece, it is good, if you can find a few patient enough to hang in, and read it all. I did, and I am a Christian.

To those looking for the question -- when you say, you are a Christian what does it mean, the same thing or something else.

When I say I am a Christian
or a Muslim, or a Jehovah's witness
or a follower of any of the other thousands
of religions invented by humankind
I am committing intellectual suicide
and deserve never to be taken seriously
ever again.....

I answer:OK! I'm glad you are cool with that choice. Wonder if you are feeling guilty. I think
you may be asking: who will accept me? Live
long and prosper,Sister.
