The Christianity Scale |
Pagetype is God/Info | |||
| How can you possibly have a scale for christianity?!? Well, I agree: you can't. Christianity can't be measured on any scale, and you can't get "points" for being good or bad. But you can make a system out of how the work is at the church, and you can self-evaluate your own work - if you have the guts for it. Being systematic is no crime or sin. Use this list, and get a hint to how good you are yourself in your relationship with others, or how you can optimize the work at the church. Download the file at the bottom of the list. |

| Where | Explanation | |||
| -12 | Henry the Whole-Hearted Heathen doesn't want to talk to you | |||
| -11 | Henry the Whole-Hearted Heathen realizes that you'd like to talk to him | |||
| -10 | Henry the Whole-Hearted Heathen softens a bit and talks to you | |||
| -9 | Henry the Whole-Hearted Heathen realizes that you're a christian | |||
| -8 | Henry the Heathen realizes that the Bible is important in your life | |||
| -7 | Henry the Heathen grows more positive talking about christianity | |||
| -6 | Henry the Heathen begins to understand the basics of christianity | |||
| -5 | Henry the Heathen understands what it means to believe in Jesus | |||
| -4 | Henry the Semi-Heathen talks positively about believing in Jesus | |||
| -3 | Henry the Semi-Heathen discovers that one needs to become a christian (he hears the call of God) | |||
| -2 | Henry the Semi-Heathen decides to become a christian | |||
| -1 | Henry the Semi-Heathen prays for forgiveness for his sins and starts to believe | |||
| 0 | Henry the Semi-Heathen becomes a christian | |||
| 1 | Henry the Fortunate is confirmed in his belief and receives basic teachings | |||
| 2 | Henry the Durable becomes a part of a religious community | |||
| 3 | Henry the Durable grows and matures to be an image of Jesus | |||

| Note that no point in the list above is better than any other. It's not more glamorous to bring a person from -11 to -8 than it is to bring someone from -3 to 0. Most christians focus on the things just around zero, which I find somewhat misunderstood. | ||||
