To follow Jesus Christ your life will demonstrate following His Word the Bible. If you are living in sin or defending others who live in sin then you are not following Christ.
Just carrying a Bible around and claiming to follow Christ does not mean you actually do.
Following Christ means seeking His Word and Prayer to be led by the Holy Spirit to discern His truth with the purpose of obeying and understanding what He says.
Merely reading the word does not make you a Christian or a follower of Christ. Merely owning a Bible does not make you a Christian or a follower of Christ.
2 Timothy 4:2-4 "…2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction. 3 For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. 4 So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.…"
This passage in Timothy was written to the churches. God knew there would come a time when the churches as a whole would claim to follow Christ but not really be doing it. In other words they listen to the doctrines of demons and lie that hey follow Christ.
