Can anyone tell me what the definition of Christianity is?

Question

I say its a religion based on stolen truth taken from other religion's mouths and put together in a non-orderly nor sensable manner. What say you?

Answer 1

I don't know about "stolen truth", but I would support borrowed myth.

Answer 2

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 says, “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.”

In a nutshell, that is the belief of Christianity. Christianity is unique among all other faiths, because Christianity is more about a relationship, rather than religious practice. Instead of adhering to a list of “dos and don’ts,” the goal of a Christian is to cultivate a close walk with God the Father. That relationship is made possible because of the work of Jesus Christ, and the ministry in the life of the Christian by the Holy Spirit.

Answer 3

Well, the most precious thing about the message of Christianity is that it finally has a solution for our sins that separated us from the Holy God and that by accepting Christ to be the real King in our lives, God is now no more the just Judge but a loving Father, who makes that all works for our best. Freedom from sin (and every other) through the acceptance of a loving Father in Christ is something that every person is made for and deep down longing for. May the Lord bless you!

Answer 4

Christians are the followers of Jesus (CHRIST-ians). We believe he is the Son of God, sent to cleanse us of our sins by dying on the cross. But I don't think Jesus came to Earth trying to start a new religion. He was a Jew all his life (even a rabbi, like a Christian priest) and follwed the teachings that were taught in the Jewish scriptures (AKA the Old Testament).
The only real difference between Judaism and Christianity is Jesus.
But the Muslims believe in Jesus. Not that he was the Son of God, but that he was just a great prophet who knew God and came to teach us how we should be living cause we were screwed up a bit.
Judaism, Christianity and Islam, are all very similar, in their teachings, but also in their history. They all claim to come from the sons of Abraham(Abram), and some of the prominent prophets in the Old Testament are present in both Jewish and Muslim scriptures.
It's not stolen, it's shared.

Answer 5

Hi well based on you clarification I would say Christianity is a concept that would benefit you tremendously right now; the main fact that your inquiring shows your thirsting for a taste of the real truth. and if your not then DON'T WORRY WHAT IT IS OR IF IT IS STOLEN OR NOT but until then just chill baby but remember ignorance is no excuse in this game.

Answer 6

I concur to a point. Not all of the beliefs were taken from other religions. But all religions are right to a degree and all religions are true to an extent. But not a damn one of the religions are going to save any-ones soul that must come from within.

Answer 7

Well, I would have to respectfully disagree with you. Christianity is not a religion per se, but rather a way of believing. The reason I say it's not a religion is because the way that Christians believe and practice their faith can vary from one person to the next & from one church to the next. The thing each Christian has in common however, are the following beliefs:

1 - Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
2 - Mosaic law of the Old Testament consisted of people earning their salvation by keeping commandments and honoring the covenant made with God by Abraham. Christ came to earth in human form to provide a new covenant.
3 - All mankind sins and therefore worthy of God's judgment and condemnation to hell. Christ took our punishment upon Himself by allowing Himself to be crucified, demonstrating His love for us that though He was sinless, He paid the price for our sin on our behalf so that we could go to Heaven without the impossible task of earning our way there.
4 - Christ rose from the dead, which is something nobody had ever done. His doing so was a declaration of victory over death and over Satan. When we accept His gift of salvation, we too will have victory over death and will live forever in Heaven with God.
5 - To be a Christian, one must admit they are a sinner and ask God to forgive them of their sins. One must acknowledge Jesus as the Son of God and ask Him to come into their heart. When a person does that, there is a willingness to get closer to God, to want to live a right life and to be obedient to God.

People define their own Christian walk personally and practice their faith in a variety of ways. We Christians don't always agree with the ways that other Christians practice, but we do all agree on whom we serve and worship. We serve Jesus Christ.

To be a Christian is to be a Christ-follower. We Christians ought to live our lives by the example that Christ set for us.

Answer 8

Christianity is a way a life that patterns the life of Jesus Christ. It is a way of life and teaching based on the truth of the words of Jesus Christ. You are speaking in a way that Jesus said people would who hates him.

Answer 9

· In the Bible as the inspired and infallible Word of God.

· In the virgin birth of Christ, His vicarious, atoning death, resurrection, and ascension.
· In salvation through the blood of Jesus Christ.
· In baptism by immersion.
· In divine healing through the redemptive work of Christ on the cross.
· In the baptism with the Holy Spirit with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
· In the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit which enables believers to live a holy life.
· In the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Answer 10

No, that would be Muslim. Christianity is the belief that Jesus Christ was the son of God that was born of men and died to pay for your sins and the sins of your fathers.
