Who is a "real" Christian ?
How does this compare to a really real Christian ?
How does adherence to a very hierarchical structure socially affect being a RRC ?
Mentally, please expand RRC out to the full, "really real Christian" each time you see the acronym, out of respect for Christ. Thank-you! (Yes, I know it throws the "a" vs "an" out of whack.:))
If a person screws up, how does it affect them, as far as being an RRC is concerned ?
What is the process for going from screw up back to full fledged RRC ?
How many times can you screw up and still make it back to RRC ? Does a perpetual screwup eventually acquire a permanent stain the even the very best Christ-based spiritual teeth whitener cannot remove ? Even if Christ does eventually do a superbleach, how do we relate to that person down here ?
Are there degrees of being an RRC ?
Is it more important to "have a relationship with Christ," or to "walk the walk" that Christ teaches ?
How do you relate to people who "talk the talk," but, when asked to "walk the walk, fail the sobriety test every time ? By this I mean any failures of being an RRC, not just alcohol.
What about people who walk the walk beautifully, but are otherwise disinterested in expressing support for "Godifying Christ?" Or even having a relationship with Him ?
How much of making "word buildings" (blogging, proselytizing , Bible study) is really "walking the walk" when people out there have real physical (bodies to be healed, taught, and sheltered) needs ? How do you balance taking care of spiritual and physical needs of others ?

A Nonny Mouse
A Nonny Mouse is the mouse that sets out to find out the dangerous aspects of the world, and then attempts to attach bells whenever possible.
The world is full of well-meaning idiots, most of them running wildly out of control, drunk on "feel free will."
"Welcome to my world!" says God in the movie "Bruce Almighty."
Ionesco also shows the World Scene in the play "Rhinoserus."
As "A Nonny Mouse" I will attempt to call attention to some of the things that bother me. I will be ruminating. Much of what appears here will be half digested. When I am all done, I will write a book, if I find I actually have anything important to say.
You are now welcome to take a glass-bottomed boat voyage through the cow's disgestibles' tract, and you may add an enzyme or two, when you see an upset stomach....
