What would my life look like if I fully lived by the Bible as a true Christian?

A. J. Jacobs has that answer:

Quoting: "The Year of Living Biblically is about my quest to live the ultimate biblical life. To follow every single rule in the Bible as literally as possible. I obey the famous ones:

The Ten Commandments
Love thy neighbor
Be fruitful and multiply

But also, the hundreds of oft-ignored ones.

Do not wear clothes of mixed fibers.
Do not shave your beard
Stone adulterers"

I prefer to live Nietzscheanly.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Well, I hope you won't finish your life like the poor guy lol

[MrChinaski]

I'd take insanity over crucifixion.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

If you take his insanity then you may want to think again about the events:

Day 1:
You experience what seems to be a psychotic breakdown, you're severed from reality, nothing makes sense anymore. You're locked in a delirious cage that is now your mind, you won't get out, ever.

Day 1000:
Vegetative state strikes, your cognitive functions stop, no one knows what's left of you inside your mind, for all we know you could be living hell inside. It will last years like that.

Day 3500:
You die. Which probably is a blessing at this point.

[MrChinaski]

Apart from the 'vegetative state' bit, you've pretty much described the human condition for all of us.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

What, no, if that was human condition we wouldn't be trading comments on a forum, we would be screaming in the streets we could never have built

@NathanDavis I'm the WHOLE spectrum

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Philosophical excuses don't make them more legitimate, just more literary.

[MrChinaski]

Quite the contrary. Philosophers say simple things in hard ways. Artists say hard things in simple ways.

@NathanDavis Infinite recursion?

[NathanDavis]

@MrChinaski nope... recursive infinity

You would have to live off grid. No electricity, water, vehicles, no income, just prayers. You have to hunt for your food. You live according to the sun. I've known 1 person in my life who lives 100% for God. He hasn't cut his hair in over 40 years, he looks creepy. He doesn't go into the city, because people all the police on him according to his appearance.

[strateguy632]

Bible never said that.

[strateguy632]

Maybe you mean if you "lived like people before electric" but still you would be a shepherd and sell stuff.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

That entirely depends on which interpretation of the bible you’re looking at and which translation

[Agape93]

Well let's see. You could have multiple wives, you'd be allowed to murder families and kidnap their virgin daughters, you'd have to murder your family members if they disobeyed you, read horoscopes and so on.

[jshm2]

Technically there is no such thing as a "Christian" in the bible- they were all Jewish - not Christians.

The "Christians" were not invented until at least 50 years after Christ.

[strateguy632]

By the bible as a christian means your life and days would be almost identical to people around you except you would read the book new testament. that other dont read

[Dargil]

Lonely. Like Jesus was. Even with followers and disciples around him. The yoke is not light.

[NathanDavis]

long-bearded... is my guess

[Sweetdreams1950]

It sounds soothing
