How can you be a Quaker/Friend and not be a Christian? That's like saying you're a woman but not a human being.

Also, I'm confused as to what grades you were homeschooled for.

That what I said, but check out all the people below that disagree.

Not all Quakers consider themselves Christians. I feel uncomfortable saying that I am Christian, because I do not believe that Jesus Christ was the Son of God who died for my sins. I do not wish to be dishonest.

That seems odd to me. I'm reading the articles about the different Quaker denominations on Wikipedia and I'm having a lot of trouble understanding them. But all them seem to have some connection to the New Testament/Jesus regardless of whether he's seen as the son of God or not. Quaker minister AMA?

I was homeschooled, totally or partly, for 5th - 9th grades.

Thanks.

Sounds like poor training and poor management/enforcement. This should almost never happen.

But that doesn't make them not a Christian, it makes them a non-practicing Christian. Or a lapsed Catholic. Or a secular Jew.
