Given what I have written in previous posts this as a very odd question!

Christendom usually refers to the ideal of theocratically ordered society. If you have read my previous posts you would surely realise this is NOT an ideal to which I subscribe.

Perhaps you mean to ask whether I believe that one can lead a Christian life without reference to the institutional Church. To this I would have to say no it is not possible. To live a 'Christian' life is to follow Christ quite explicitly. How would one know about Christ but for the Church? Even the Bible is a product of the Church, so reading the Bible is a point of connection with the institutional Church.

Or perhaps you are referring to the notion of so-called 'anonymous Christians'. I think it is quite common for people to try to live by the ethical precepts of Christianity without wanting to identify themselves as Christian. This is not the same as being Christian and I think the phrase 'anonymous Christian' is a poor description of such people since by definition they do not want to be identified as Christian. Being Christian means identifying oneself with a Christian community. Christian life is always rooted in Christian community and the relationships implicit in being truly human and Christian. Christianity is not some sort of individual pilgrimage.

Is it necessary to be Christian to lead a meaningful and fulfilling life? Of course not.

Is it necessary to believe in God to lead a meaningful and fulfilling life? Of course not.

Is it necessary to be Christian? No.

Do Christians believe that Gods love is directed exclusively toward Christians?
Of course not.
