Is it possible to be a Christian and still be a good person?

I think it has its mistakes. Like fapping or related is bad. Which actually makes it impossible to have a nice spiritual house in peace or (far) worse.

Such crisis that is hardly spoken about really.

Salvation is not found by confessing words or beating your chest. It's not found in an altar call. It's found by lifelong metanoia.

It's found over time, through both good deeds and right faith. The fathers of the church have always affirmed this, eastern and western. Synergism is our path, not monergism. God is all merciful, but he requires our cooperation, he is no sky-hitler.

christianity and religion in it's core is the following of their prophets, and to attempt to do as they did, was jesus not a good person?

it would be impossible to be a good muslim and a good person though, as mohammed was a criminal thug

Considering Good is what Jesus says to a Christian, all of that is Good.

You're a fool. You've missed the whole point. It is not bad to want good things or do good deeds to be rewarded. It is the nature of the reward that matters. If you seek a reward that is fleeting and ephemeral then your actions were likewise. But if you seel that which is eternal, that which last forever, Theron wisdom and faith.

Also through works and through faith aren't mutually exclusive requirements. A man who has not faith is like what I said above, he does good deeds for fleeting earthly rewards, likewise if a man does not do good works, then his heart is not overflowing with the love of Jesus Christ.

You're just saying it's impossible to be a good person.

No I'm asking if it is possible for Christians to be a good person.

Nothing in the OP would apply to the non-religious, for example.
