Jesus was Jewish. He didn't start a religion. Paul started a religion based on Jesus.

Jesus was a Jew and kept the Jewish law. Being the testator he had to live a perfect life under the law so he could die once and take away the sin of the world once and for all. The blood of bulls and goats lasted only a year.
He coulod not call it Christianity becdause christianity is based on his death and ressurection. While alive he was able to do things that is forbidden now that he is dead. The thief on the cross was able to go to heaven that day because Jesus was still alive and his testement nad not gone into effect. That is why the thief did not need to be baptized. It does not teach death bed salvation.
The decisples were frist called Christians at Antioch.

The followers of Jesus were first called "Christians" in the city of Antioch a few decades after the time of Christ. It was originally used as a derrogatory term. The word "Catholic" was first used in 107 AD by Ignatius of Antioch - he used it to differentiate the Church as a whole from each individidual congregation.

No, that's a term that was coined later. In fact, in Acts 11:26 it says...
"And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch."
That was after Christs death.
I think that during Christs ministry on earth, they were simply called, "Believers".

Actually I believe it was called The Way.
As in. I Am The Way, The Truth, And The Life, No one comes to The Father but by The Son.

Jesus replaced into in heaven with god whilst the earth replaced into spoke into life. Now christianity and faith isn't something yet concept in God. those are in simple terms countless the titles that are given to those which will have self assurance in the lord thy God. the 1st faith replaced into before the destruction of the 1st worldwide and the recent worldwide nonetheless maintains at present time faith of believing in God. All christians do be attentive to that there replaced right into a faith before Jesus walked the earth and you could actually study it in the e book of Gensis-Holy Bible.

No. He was born a Jew, lived his life in accordance with all the rules of the Jewish religion and died a Jew. The Last Supper was a Passover dinner. He would be shocked that his followers do not keep his religion sacred.

Nope-
nor did he:
1) claim to be god /part of a trinity or in anyway divine
2) break the laws of God e.g eat pork
3) Pray in a church standing up and singing
4) Preach original sin
etc etc etc
Apart from that "Christians" are real close to his teachings lol

No, after He died and rose again, people that believed that he was the Son of God were nicknamed "Christ-followers" that, through time, has changed into "Christian." But I don't think He calls us that now. We are his people, His children, His army and the name "Christian" has become a stereotypical, corrupt title.

No he didn't. I don't think it was really called religon when he was a live. But after he died & went to heaven, his disciples traveled all around the world to spread his teachings. During the process it was called Christianity.
