Could it not have been just as true for these truths to be
real if Jesus had also lived to 100 and died peacefully in his bed ?


I wasn't talking about truth, I was talking about definitions, specifically the definition of Christian.

But while I think the normal meaning of Christian would include accepting that Jesus is God, I looked up Christian on an online dictionary and got -

1.One who professes belief in Jesus as Christ or follows the religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus.
2.One who lives according to the teachings of Jesus.

Neither of which specifically talks about accepting Jesus as God or savior.
