Haha you must have read one of my posts huh?
Its complicated.
Well you see some people say, "I am a Christian and believe in evolution" or "I am a Christian and do not believe Jesus was divine". Those things are just as absurd as an agnostic Christian.
Agnostic literally means "don't know", and I don't know if there is a God. I think there is, but I don't know. If I had to chose a God though it would be the Christian one. So I am an agnostic Christian.

It's not an oxymoron or anything like being confused.
An agnostic HAS to be theist or atheist.
Christian = theist.
An agnostic Christian is one who believes in the Christian god, but not 100%. It's not about doubting (though it can be). It's just not being arrogant - not saying you know completely that there is a god. One shouldn't be 100% sure about anything.

"...
Agnosticism (from the Greek a, meaning "without", and gnosticism or gnosis, meaning "knowledge") is the philosophical view that the truth value of certain claims—particularly metaphysical claims regarding theology, afterlife or the existence of God, gods, deities, or even ultimate reality—is unknown or, depending on the form of agnosticism, inherently unknowable due to the nature of subjective experience.

Agnostic means that you don't believe something without logically satisfactory evidence. An agnostic Christian would therefore be someone who believes they have logically satisfactory evidence for the existence of the Christian god.

An agnostic Christian is someone who doesn't know either:
(1) what a Christian is or
(2) what an agnostic is

That would have to be a myth. In order to be Christian you MUST believe that Jesus is the son of god and died for your sins. Anything less is a ticket to hell.

a claim of faith for safety instead a claim of faith with sincerity.
yet if a human can see such hypocrisies surely the Lord can to.
A Agnostic is a person unsure if their is a God, while a Christian is someone who believe in a God the two don't go together
so my conclusion of what it is is a Agnostic who says they believe just to be on the safe sides since they are uncertain. but as i said if a human can see such hypocrisies, then God can to.

No-one can be that.But in a more general sense you can be Christian-like, that is loving, giving, sharing,caring and understanding, even if you do not beleive in a God.After all a lot of non-religious people do good deeds.

An open minded one perhaps. Wants to believe, has a religion they want to follow, but has doubts as well.

I would imagine it is someone who believes in the divinity of Jesus ... but accepts we will never know who or what God is
sounds pretty reasonable and honest to me
