is christianity a religion started by JESUS?

Question

In my knowledge , JESUS didnt started a religion. he teaches us to pray to GOD and to love each other.

Answer 1

No Christianity is a label that people use; they think they are following Jesus teachings but far from it.
If you follow the teachings in the four Gospel's, Paul and Peter's letters and the other writers in the New Testament as much as possible because we are all not perfect, Organized religion I think is more commercial then Spiritual.

Answer 2

Christianity did and didn't start with Jesus. Jesus, if texts are to be believed, would have disapproved of the organization in its current state, even if he would have approved of some of the laws. Jesus was a Jew, and there is some controversial evidence to believe he was a lot more liberal than he was previously shown to be. That being said, I think it is believed that after his death and due to the way of it, he became more conservative - but that is my assumption.

The religion was started by his followers, before and after his death. There were Christians with the first few apostles and Jesus was their martyr that made them far more stronger. Which is why he is mentioned in all these religious texts, but I do not think he wrote one. He was cited, and they may have taken his words maybe out of context in some places, even giving them the benefit of the doubt.

Answer 3

No, Jesus of Nazaret was a Jew. St. Paul is credited with having started Christianity as a separate religion from Judaism, but even that is not the case, as Paul himself was a hard core Jew. Christianity evolved in the first two centuries and perhaps the Council of Nicea (325 A.D.) marks the beginning of Christianity as a new social actor in the world.

Answer 4

The followers of JESUS call themselves CHRISTIANS.



EVIDENCE THAT THE EARLIEST CHURCH IN EXISTANCE WAS JEWISH


One of the strongest evidences for this is the presence of many artifacts, clay pots, and lamps, which are engraved with what has come to be called the SEAL OF THE MESSIANIC CHURCH.

The seal has been copyrighted as " Seven Branched Candelabra/Star of David/Fish"

A book entitled "The Messianic Seal of the Jerusalem Church" by Reuven Efraim Schmalz and Raymond Robert Fischer has been published (Olim Publications, P.O. Box 2111,Tiberias, Israel.

Top of Seal see the Seven Branch Candelabra that stood before God in the Temple.

Below that, see the Star of David, which is from the 7th century BC. It is composed of two interlaced, equilateral triangles or DALTHA (D for David). "A star shall come forth from Jacob, and a scepter shall rise from Israel" Numbers 24:17.

Below the star is a fish which is an early Christian symbol in Israel. It was transported to Rome, and by 150 AD. Clement of Alexandria suggested to all his readers that they include the sign of a fish in their personal seals to identify them as Christians. Later the Greek spelling for the word fish ICHTHUS was incorporated. The first five letters of the words that spell "Jesus, Christ, God, Son, and Saviour."

In the Messianic Seal, the cross appears as the Hebrew letter TAW.

The artifacts were discovered in 1990 by Tech Oteeoos, a 90 year old Greek Orthodox monk, in the vicinity of the, what is believed to be, the original Church founded and pastored by James the Just, the half-brother of Jesus. When the actual grotto was excavated by Oteeoos, numerous inscriptions were found on the walls. The period of its use on Mount Zion could only have been from the crucifixion in 30 AD to 135AD.

Answer 5

a clean faith did no longer style initially. first of all Christianity became a Jewish sect or maybe met interior the Jewish Synagogues and the Jewish Temples. although, through 2 issues they began to chop up faraway from Judaism, the 1st ingredient became that the Christian sect became open to Gentiles, something that became completely at odds with Judaism, making co-life impossible. the 2nd became that the Jews persecuted the Christians, forcing them underground. Christianity (the Orthodox flow a minimum of, no longer a number of the borderline cults interior the 1st 4 centuries) has continuously been a Jewish extension, accepting the Holy Books of Judaism and an identical God. the only distinction became that they are waiting for a messiah that we've self assurance have already come.

Answer 9

More specifically, the current Roman Catholic church is just that: Roman. It was officially endorsed (and heavily influenced) by the emperor Constantine, and much of its dogma and orientation can be traced to that particular intervention.

Christianity itself? The other guys (especially Reaper) got it right: it was the fundamentalists who survived that really took the message and crafted proto-Catholocism.

Answer 10

Jesus was a devote Jew. I wonder what he would have thought about all of those future so called followers his that were to persecute Jews.
