Were they prophecised about, performed miracles and rose from the dead?
I can find you people claiming to be and do all that stuff. By the way, if you believe that Jesus literally rose from the dead and performed miracles - you are indeed a christian fundamentalist, since you take the bible (at least the new testament) literally.
So it’s no longer because of Jewish law, but because “Jesus was a smart guy and I’m a smart guy so he must obviously agree with me”
This are two separate points:
Jesus was Jewish is more of a joke, something I personally always though of as funny.
Jesus was a smart guy and I’m a smart guy so he must obviously agree with me”
First, that’s not what I wrote. Second what I actually wrote is close to my opinion on what Jesus would think. Which is as valuable as anyone’s guess. And more of an anecdote than an argument.

No? You’re just a Christian…
Unless of course your definition of Christian fundamentalist is someone who believes in the fundamentals of Christianity, but that’s just an unnecessary thing to add on to the term “Christian”. In that case, then Christian Fundamentalism is the largest world religion.
You can call you what ever you want, I’m not to stuck on definitions. Does not change that I think your stance on abortion does not make to much sense.
So then why do you keep trying to define me as a “Christian fundamentalist” when your definition of that is basically someone who’s just a normal Nicene Christian, and not a heretical offshoot?
Because that’s how that word is used? People who take Bible/teachings literally. Maybe you are not aware but at least in Europe a lot of Christians don’t take the whole thing literal. I have good friend who is Catholic but she does not take the Bible and the teachings literal.
I literally live in Europe. And what do you mean by the “whole thing literal”, would that include taking the creation story as literal 6 24 hour long days and the patriarch ages literally? Because if so, then I don’t take the whole Bible literally and I am not a fundamentalist.
Does your good friend believe that Jesus physically and literally resurrected?

Nope, there are Christians that don’t take the Bible literally. And no you are not the judge of who can call themselves Christian.
Then I’m a pro-choice who believes Abortion is wrong and shouldn’t be legal. Because I believe contraception should be legal
