He wasn't a Christian, he was the 'Christ.'
I think I know what you're saying and I would agree. As a christian I am supposed to emulate my teacher. I have not done such a good job of that over the years. I have a feeling that many who are christian have the same problem.
So yes, I'd say - True.

False--Jesus was not a Christian, he was a Jew. "Christian" means "follower of Christ". Christ didn't follow himself.
If you're talking more metaphorically than literally, then yes, the only person who lived the perfect Christian life died on the cross 2000 years ago. That doesn't mean people don't try to emulate his example, merely that they're unsuccessful. It's kind of like playing football--even if the other team is drastically better than you, you should still play the game with everything you have.

True. There isn't a single person that comes close to the perfection of the first and only "true" Christian.

False. Jesus wasn't a Christian, his followers are Christians.

False. If so, then there would be no hope, and Christ's mission on earth would be a failure, but this is not so, and the (spiritual) evidence speaks for itself

false, of course. You have the patriarchs...Noah, the disciples and so on. Messing up in life dosen't not make you a true Christian.

The only "Perfect Christian" died on the cross.
True.
The rest of us endeavor to improve daily.
I guess it depends on your definition of "True"
Kinda like the definition of "Is"
Peace!

ABSOLUTELY 100% UNDENIABLY TRUE.
Well, let me rethink this. No. It's false. There are a bunch of "true" Christians on this board. I'm sure you've seen their answers.
