when did christianity begin?

Question

in what year, and when did Christianity start? how did it happen (the result of Christianity starting)

Answer 1

Around 33AD.

Christianity began in the 1st century as a Jewish sect, and therefore shares many religious texts and early history with Judaism — specifically, the Hebrew Bible, which Christians call the Old Testament (see Judeo-Christian). Like Judaism and Islam, Christianity is thus an Abrahamic religion. In the 4th century, Early Christianity merged with Neoplatonism and grew to notability as the religion of the late Roman Empire.

In the New Testament, the term "Christian" first appears in Acts 11:26: "The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch."

Answer 2

Christianity is based very much on the catholic faith, with similar religions like evangelicalism, hebrew, papalism, and hundreds of others that focus on the teachings of the bible. The common denominator of all the bible taught religions is the belief that the Earth was created about 4000 years before Christ, and there are documented cases of believers of christ before his birth, so there is no exact date, but the majority agree that christianity is the religious study of the life and wisdom of the person known as christ, and definately started somewhere between 6000 years ago and 2000 years ago. I know it's a little vague, but history is like that, written by the victors, not the truth bearers. Sorry.

Answer 3

Christianity began among a small number (about 120, see Acts 1:15) of Jews and Jewish Proselytes. By the 3rd century AD, Christianity had grown to become the dominant religion of the northern Mediterranean world. It also gained important extensions to the east and south of the Mediterranean. The core history of the Roman Catholic Church is said to extend in an unbroken timeline from this period.

Answer 4

"christianity" as a religion began after the death of the person jesus. When he was alive his followers considered him the messiah, the one who would deliver the jews from their oppressors (at the time, the Romans). When that didn't happen, and he was put to death, his followers formed a religion that claimed the "deliverance" promised of the messiah was to come later on (end of the world and judgement), and that following jesus' teachings was the only way to be judged worthy at the final judgement. Organized christianity began somewhere around 100AD or so, and was made formal when the emperor Constantine converted to christianity and made it the state religion around 300AD.

Answer 5

Christianity began after Jesus died on the cross and rose again. His diciples became the first Christians. An exact year for this event is not possible to give, because within the transistion from B.C. to A.D you are missing the 33 years of Jesus's life.

Answer 6

Christianity began probable someplace around the overdue 20s (ad, it quite is). Bible-depending Christianity got here to visit about three hundred years later. there have been non-Bible-depending varieties of Christianity in the intervening time, some grew to develop into forerunners of Biblical Christianity, others were branded heretics and wiped out. The Greek gadget dates at a minimum centuries BC, yet its origins are murhy and not straight forward to pinpoint. there is also info of ameliorations by the years, so it really is going to develop right into a remember of conjecture as to what aspects got here in the previous others.

Answer 7

Well, when Jesus died around 2000 years ago, the Apostles that followed him started going and preaching about his death and Resurrection. While they didn't go by Christians until hundreds of years later, that was the origin.

Answer 8

Well the actual christianity begin with Jesus, but the one people follow today started with king Constantine and him choosing and in the process changing the bible, thats what people believe today.

Answer 9

One could argue when the prophets first foretold of a Messiah. No prophets, no Messiah, no Christianity. You have to have a reason to care, otherwise; you just have another Houdini or Ghandi. Cross reference the prophecies with the New Testaments and see if they don't mesh well. There is your reason to follow Him, and there is your religion.
