Does anyone even know what the tennets of Christianity are?

Question

If so Id like a conclusive list.

Answer 1

Jesus himself summed it up as to what they should be but are not always
(Matt.5:16,22-24,27-48
16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, `Raca, ' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, `You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell.
23 "Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,
24 leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.
27 "You have heard that it was said, `Do not commit adultery.'
28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Answer 2

No. Christianity has taken on so many forms that a conclusive list cannot be formed. The only common denominator is a belief in Christ. Not all Christians even agree on the nature of Christ. Christianity did not start out as a unified religion, but started as three sects of Christianity.

Pauline Christianity is based on the works of self appointed apostle Paul, who never actually met Jesus. His teachings were spread to the Gentiles and the old law was abolished. Pauline Christianity is what the majority of Christianity today is based.

Jewish Christianity was based on the work of Peter and held to the old belief that Jesus was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel. This sect died out rather quickly.

Gnostic Christianity threw the whole story on it's head and claimed that Christ was NOT sent by the OT God at all, but by a higher true God to save mankind FROM the OT God. Pauline Christians ran several violent campaigns to wipe out the Gnostics who were considered heretics. Unfortunately, the Gnostics seemed to actually follow Jesus' teachings of turning the other cheek and loving your enemies. They believed dying for your God was more honorable than killing for your God, which resulted in their downfall. Gnosticism is making a comeback today thanks to the discovery of the Nag Hammadi Library in 1945.

Then today, of course, you have the many divisions within Pauline Christianity as well.

Answer 3

There is no "list".... but... all who come to God in The Way He prescribes will receive His free gift of Salvation and will become of The Body of The Church of which Jesus The Christ is The Head. These are the ones of The True Christian Faith... Only those of The Church will enter Heaven

The relationship of God to the individual is personal. Each receives what God has for them personaly. There is no man between God and the individual.

Christians are to: Love The Lord their God with all their Heart, all their Soul, all their mind, and all their strength. And to love their neighbor as themself.

How to come to God as He prescribes requires some understanding that comes only from the leading of The Holy Spirit.

If you are honestly interested you may email me any basic question concerning The True Christian Faith. One honest question will receive one honest answer to the best of my ability.

Answer 4

You can phrase the requirement of YHVH is a number of ways. The ten commandments (Ex 20) is one list. Micah 6:8 is a different list.-- Where the Almighty says :"He has declared to you, O man, what is good. And what does YHVH require of you but to do right, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your Elohim?"

Answer 5

"For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures" (1st Corinthians 15:3-4)
