God+Christianity, Is it possible? Options

[sweetangel2128]

I've been doing a lot of thinking on my beliefs lately and I can't force myself not to believe that a God doesn't exist. I see myself as being a Christian in terms of what the dictionary says the meaning is which is - "A belief in God" but I don't follow the religion it's self. I don't attend church, I don't depend upon the Bible for all my answers to my problems and I don't talk about him 24/7 in everyday life. I do read my Bible and I do try to live the life he intended for me and I do have Faith in him. But my Question is on your own views.

Can you follow Christ, love God totally, try do best in life and live by his laws most of the time, still sin and follow Christ? And my other Question is can you follow Christ, try to live life the way he intended for you but not have the title of Christian and not be connected to a religion? Afterall, God didn't create the religion but for us to just love him and follow his word. What are your views on this?

It seems whenever I decide I want to believe in God everyone always asks - "Oh your a Christian" and they assume that since I don't follow a religion that I am not close to God. Why?

Tell me your thoughts on these matters =]

here's what i believe:

there will be a judgement day someday. Jesus WILL come again. but i believe that he doesn't want to come now, when there's so many more people that could be saved before he comes. that might sound really televangelistic, but honestly, that's what i think. if he revealed himself, all the people who didn't believe in him until then would be doomed. yes, i believe in heaven and hell. and i think it's a very serious thing.

I pretty much believe in God, I also believe in Heaven and Hell too but I don't really take it as a serious thing, I don't know I just believe I want to love God because I love him and the fact of what he did was so loving, he is the one that started the human race and I should honor him for that. I do not fear Hell though, I do fear God though. I do believe in Judgement Day but I believe that's the day you die and you are judged and punished that day to determine where you'll be going. I know in the Bible it does say Jesus is suppose to come again but the thing is it most likely wont happen in my lifetime. I just don't understand I guess...I don't understand how someone so powerful can't just show up to someone who doesn't believe if he's in fact that powerful
