D, Follow his teachings. if you do that A B C will be side effects.
-he taught that he was the son of God, so if you followed his teaching you would accept him as such.
-tithing is bullshit. give your money to needy people or start your own ministry to help them, stop wasting money on piece of crap buildings unless it is an investment that will pay for itself like turning it into a school on weekdays or for rent, and then using that money to help the poor and the needy.
read the new testament and you will see a part where Jesus asks one of the apostles.... he asks something along the lines of, does the home owner get money from his children...
this was when the temple people were asking them for money.
as for going to church, thats another bullshit.
you are the church if you are a believer, not the building..
the rapture of the church doesnt mean all the buildings goes byebye,
in the same idea, texas cannot GO to america, since texas is already part of america.
so people CANT go to church if they are believers. they can only gather, but not attend or go.
as for the teachings... your examples are limited. LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF,
if you obey that teaching, everything else will follow.
but aside from that, if you disect the teachings you will be just another WBC westboro baptist church.
for example, you help the poor but don't love your enemy- you end up being unforgiving, then God himself wont forgive you for your sins..
you love you enemy but you dont turn the other cheek- you fight back- then you are not loving your enemy to begin with.
helping the poor has another example.
--if you have anything against your brother, leave your gift at the later and go be reconciled.
helping the poor is the gift, but God would rather have you love your enemy. and forgive.
turning the other cheek but not loving your enemy is also another worthless crap.
anyway, what do you get from asking these things? do you have anything you can get from this? does this help you grow in your spiritual life? on how you love others?
or are you just trying to avoid obeying them?
1 forgive everyone and humble yourself to recieve forgiveness from God.
2 dedicate your life to learning and practicing loving others as a show of your love for God and appreciation of his forgiveness.
in short, LOVE EVERYONE, and by doing so, you show that you love God.
oh and dont waste your money on building a temple for God. go and build up a house for a homeless person instead.

The most important part is believing that Jesus was the Son of God and He died for our sins. Then all the rest follows.

I personally dont think you could just pick out which one is more important they all are. That would be like just picking one of the ten commandments to follow. You cant do it. But Most importantly before you follow anything that God wants us to do you must believe in Him and accept Him in your heart. God will then place the Holy spirit in you to guide you in the path that he wants you to go. If you are still stuggling on which is more important... maybe you should ask God yourself and He will lead you where to go.

The most important part of being a christian comes from within! Love God, be a good person, love your family.
Most importantly is to help people of all faiths whether emotionally or physically or mentally.

Being a Christian, I know the Bible says that the most important thing is loving others as yourself and love God with all your being.

All of these are important, but I truly think it is having a personal relationship with Jesus. Then you are better equipped to follow his teachings.

First question:
Jesus says flat out "follow me" 17 times in the gospels. He says "go to church" zero times. He said "I am God's Son" zero times ... however, I must point out that He does say many times that He is from the Father.
Second question (which, btw, is unfair, you're getting more for your 5 points than yer supposed to lol):
"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another." - Jesus

I would say C and D are equally ontop. I think they go hand in hand. I think doing good acts/following his teachings, proves you believe he is God. Then A, then B.

You missed the mark, Honey. The most important part of being Christian is bringing glory to God in every aspect of our lives.
