The word "Christian" comes from the name "Christ". The purpose of Christ when He came to earth was reconcile men to God and to give Salvation to enter heaven. Sin separates God and men, but Christ came to forgive sins and bring as many as believe in Him back to God.
Sin started from Satan and God's plan is to punish Satan forever and everything that associates with sin, but Christ does not want sinners to perish because He loves them, therefore He came to die in the place of sinners that believe in Him and repent from their sins so that when the time comes for God to punish Satan, the sinners will be saved (salvation) because Jesus has died for the sinners and taken their punishment. Those that believe in Jesus and live the kind of life He wants are the people called Christians. You can now see that Christianity is not a religion actually. It is a way of life of those that accept Christ and believe in Him. Feel free to ask any question if you still have.

Matthew 10:5-6: Jesus instructs his twelve disciples, telling them not to go to the Gentiles or Samaritans but to go "rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel".

Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Matthew 15:21-28 And having gone out from there, Jesus withdrew into the regions of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And behold— a Canaanite woman having come out from those districts was crying out, saying, “Have mercy on me, Master, Son of David.

My daughter is badly demon-possessed”. 23 But the One did not respond a word to her. And having come to Him, His disciples were asking Him, saying, “Send her away, because she is crying-out after us”.

But the One, having responded, said, “I was not sent-forth except for[a] the lost[b] sheep of the house of Israel”.

But the one, having come, was prostrating-herself before Him, saying, “Master, help me”.

And the One, having responded, said, “It is not good to take the bread of the children and throw it to the little-dogs”.

But the one said, “Yes, Master. For indeed the little-dogs eat from the crumbs falling from the table of their masters!”

Then, having responded, Jesus said to her, “O woman, your faith is great. Let it be done for you as you wish”. And her daughter was healed from that hour.

JOHN 3:16-18 Summarizes the purpose of Christ to mankind. It reads "16 For God so loved the world, that He gave his only Son, that WHOEVER believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God".

It depends on your Bible version. I didn't know you were asking all these questions just to make jest, I thought you want to engage in intellectual discussion. Bye.

is there anything like intellectual discussion in Christianity apart from telling me that christ is God which cannot be logically and scientifically verified.

Since I discovered your intention, I don't want to continue this conversation, but I feel I should just say this; what is logical about how the earth was created and everything in it, or about how the planets were suspended in the firmament without falling, or about how the little ants have brains in their heads and have 'intestines' to digest their food as tiny as they are, what's logical about you being alive and somebody more healthier than you sleeping and not waking?
If you need logical reasons to understand the illogical God, then you need a divine encounter which I pray you experience very soon.

Okay, and atheisim makes man naturally good.

Too bad Stalin and mao did not get the memo...

Please point where I stated all atheists are good. Like I said,religious books state that it's adherents should be good but many are still evil.
Btw,many relatively atheistic societies are better than religious ones. So what's your point
