Some people think Christianity is something best reserved for Sunday. Some want to do it all week. Do you think doing it all week is just something the more serious Christians will naturally shoot for? Do you think the Sunday Christians are fine?

Let me know what you think. I want to hear from you!

A religious system based on the teaching of Paul. Not to be confused with Jesus.

So, according to the OP, what is "it"? What is it that some people only want to do "weekly" or "all week"?

That is a bit vague for most people, so can you be more specific?

Summary is here :
9"There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. 10He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. 11He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. 12But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, 13who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God"
Christian is one who strives to "receive Him".

Thank you..... :) .....so what is it that the OP is asking about? "Receiving Jesus" weekly or daily? How is that practiced either weekly or daily?

I am trying to get to what "it" (in the OP) actually is. How do you think that fits with the scripture you quoted?

Be permanently change when your higher Ego becomes Christ
Like consciousness. Paul calls it Mystery.

Yes, I understand what you are saying and I agree.....but how would you answer the OP? What is he talking about? Specifically, what is done weekly or daily, when one has accepted Christ as their savior?

Sunday they go to church they remember God - some of them, some of them live with Christ. I think it all boils down how you understand spirit. There is no any requirement except agape.

If your religion doesn't translate into a way of life that helps you grow and change as a person, it's not a religion. It's a hobby, an intrigue, a sideshow.

It is not a system, but a belief based on the teachings of Jesus and Paul. Paul did not set up any "system." The "system" was created by the successors of the apostles. In fact the apostles would have treated Sundays as we treat Mondays.

I think Christianity starts after you leave church.

aged ecumenical anthropologist
Reminds me of two analogies that the former priest at my wife's church used to periodically say:

"Joe thought he was going to heaven for what he did on Sunday, but he went to hell for what he did on Monday."

and...

"Joe missed going to heaven by just 18 inches-- the distance from his head to his heart."

I sorta felt sorry for Joe after a while.:(
