I've posted in this forum before, but I'm introducing myself because I see myself in a different way from how I did then. I say that I'm not a Christian because I don't agree with the beliefs of any Christian denomination, but I recognize and accept Jesus as my lord and the Lord of God's kingdom. I don't think of the Bible as infallible in the way that some Christians do, but in my disagreements with Christians about Jesus, I don't think that I'm disagreeing with the Bible. I only think that I'm disagreeing with Christians about what it says. I came back to this forum, because I've had some new thoughts about my disagreements with Christians, and I'd like to discuss them with people who care about what the Bible says.
 
Update on how I see myself in relation to Christianity: I'm not a Christian, and I'm not trying to be one. It isn't that I don't want to be one, it's that I don't care if I am or not. I don't think that Jesus cares if anyone is a Christian or not. I think that what he cares about for us is to be the kind of servant that He can teach and empower us to be. Another part of my relation to Christianity is that I'm very interested in the story that the Bible tells us.
 
Some more things that I forgot to say about how I see myself in relationship to Christianity. In my middle school and high school years, I went to an Evangelical and Reformed church, I went to confirmation class, and I was baptized. My father was born into a Mennonite family. My older sister taught me the Lord‘s prayer and the 23rd Psalm when I was very young and I treasured those all through my childhood. in college, after a conversation with someone from Campus Crusade for Christ, I invited Christ to come into my life. Now, and for most of my life, I’ve seen myself as the little drummer boy. I have no gift to bring that’s fit to give a King. I play my little toy drum for him, hoping to see him smile at me, and sometimes I think I do see him smiling at me. I search in the Bible for answers to questions that I see people debating about.

(later) Another reason for saying that I’m not a Christian is because I don’t meet anyone’s belief requirements for being one.
