Christians can succeed.
Non-christians can succeed too.
Christians can have fun.
Non-christians can have fun too.
Christians can write books.
Non-christian can write books too.
Christian leaders can have a 10000 people seminar.
Non-christian leaders can too.
Christians can compose music.
Non-christians can too.
Christians can overcome sin.
Non-christians can too (though i am not very sure that they can).
so what's the difference between us and them?
i say it is the Presence of God that makes us different. The Presence that is so real, that gives us peace and joy from above, that are everlasting. The Presence that tells us what to do and guides us in His Light.
THAT is the only difference.
What do YOU think>?

Funny comparisons. Not the best way.....
The only true for Christians is to follow Him and his teaching and demands. He never promessed the paradise on earth and all success and hapiness, since He came for the sinneers, the poor, the non successful people.
To be christian it s a choice. You can choose not to be and have a good life also.
And Yes God gives us peace and joy and His light guide us. But He also gives us some rules and laws as we have on earth, to protect us

The difference is that you think you need a god to live a fulfilling life. And that you can't listen to the good music or indeed enjoy any form of art or entertainment that for whatever reason doesn't fit your religion's standards. And that you judge people because a 2000 year old book tells you to. I could go on.

Faith in GOd is the difference. Christians and non-christains can act the same, it is plainly obvious to see. Chrsitains sometimes act holier than thou and some act just as sinful as anyone could be yet still proclaims to be a christian. Non-chrsitains can act righteous and charitiful or sinful. THe main difference, the only difference is that Chrsitains hold faith in God, something they cannot physically see yet still belief exists.

I think the only difference between Christians and non Christians is that Christians believe that Jesus was god or the son of god, or one of their many gods, and Non-Christians don´t.

The difference is that Christians tend to adhere to some form of Christian doctrine. Non-Christians choose not to. Otherwise, we're all human.

The difference is that we Christians can have a relationship with God (through Jesus) while non-Christians can't.

I think Ephesians chapter 1 describes well the blessings of the Christian in comparison with the world:
"3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.
7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace 8 which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, 9 having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, 10 that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both[a] which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him. 11 In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, 12 that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory. 13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who[b] is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory." (Eph 1:3-14).
Here is what we get:
1) Every spiritual blessings.
2) Adoption (sons and daughters of God).
3) Redemption.
4) An inheritance.
5) The gift of the Holy Spirit as a guarantee.
If I should choose just one, I would say that we received forgiveness of sins (meaning the seperation between us and God is abolished because we have obeyed the Gospel) through Christ.

I think you are deluded. I am at perfect peace without a worry about my future. My future is steered by rational thought rather than mysticism and delusion.

That is the only difference. And the absence of God's presence is what will make Hell ,Hell!
