what do christians believe? what are the "faults" if you will, with christianity. i know christianity is a large spreaded term used amongst some cults as well, but i'm refurring to the christianity that believes in being born again and such.

I think that the "faults" of almost all organized religions are the same - they all believe that they are "the one true religion" and they all believe that God is on their side only. There are of course a few exceptions, the Salvation Army being one of them. (I am not Salvation Army.)

The basic beliefs of Christianity are that 1) God created everyone and everything, 2) everyone is a sinner, 3) Jesus Christ is the true son of God (wholly God, but wholly human) who came to die for our sins, 4) The only to get to God (aka heaven) is to accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior and follow his ways 5) the bible is the word of God. These are the simplified basic things that make up "Christianity." The main problem I see with Christianity is that many people call themselves "Christians" but don't follow what the Bible and God tell us to follow. There are many other issues involved with Christianity that I don't know enough about to explain. I hope this helps at least a little bit.

We believe that Jesus came to earth and died for our sins, and that if we accept him as our Saviour and Lord of our life,we are born again, am a new person, and that we are his children like a Shepherd herding his flock of Sheep. We are the Sheep, he is the Shepherd. What are the faults of Christianity? I don't find any fault even though non-Christians do. It is not true that we belive that Jesus came for us and only the body that we are in. There are many bodies, and they don't all agree on religion. Jesus came for every body, every race, every color of skin. If God could save only one of us and he hadn't died on the cross yet, he would still come, he loves us so much, every single one. And it is not lame that we believe the Bible and don't have a 'backup'. Every singe word in that large volume is true, every single thing recorded has actually happened.

My biggest problem with Christianity is that most of the beliefs come from one source: the Bible. Any other field, be it science, math, whatever, ANYTHING needs more than one source or more than one test. Even term papers need more than one source. A lot of the things that happen in the Bible are not recorded anywhere else in history (there are some things that are legitimate though). Doesn't it seem strange that Christians don't question the Bible simply because it's the Bible? They don't try to cross reference it anywhere. That boggles my mind.

The 'faults' with Christianity lie (my present opinion) lie with the deviations from God's word that have been allowed in the past few centuries in the USA and many other countries.

as far as what we believe that is simple we believe in jesus being the head of the body and the body being the church.so in order to be a part of the church you have to be a part of the body and common sence dictates that the body can only follow its own head .so to be a christian you have to follow the head of the body ,JESUS.as far as the faults it would be mans own desires.following what he think is right as oppose to what is right.that is were all the chaos comes from in christianity not from christ

Christians believe in God and that His son, Jesus Christ was born to save us and died on the cross for our sins. However, christians practice their religion in many different ways.

This may sound awkward, but I don't believe that there are any. To be Christian is to follow our Lord and God, Jesus Christ. To follow Him is to follow perfection. How can there be any fault in that?

The only fault is those who throw their life away by not following God. It is not only their life now but their eternal life. Life is great with God.

the problem is not with christianity. The problem is with individual Christians
