It did exist. The people that followed Jesus Christ while he was here on earth were Christians. They believed that he would die to save their sins and they followed all of the commands. They believed everything already, so yes, there were SOME Christians before he died.

The term Christianity came into existence at the council of Nicea.
Christ (not Jesus the man) has always been. He was at the beginning when the earth was created in Genesis. He is spoken of in Proverbs 8 as the artist that helped God create this world. The Trinity has always been here, and Christ has existed through time even in the Old testament.
His miraculous birth was not the only one that happened, there had been others through the centuries. Other woman who were visited by angels to have miracle babies. Look at Melchizedek. Christ came in many forms, but he was exposed and really brought to the forefront in the time of the New testament. Christ lives on in each one of us today.
Christianity is what bastardised his true message.

I think the spirit,meaning,and beauty of Christian belief existed in the hearts of men before hewas born on this earth.There have always been special spiritual people who have kept the inner flame of Spirit warm and well through their loving caring thoughts and actions towards their fellow men. When Christ was born on the earth,it was just time for the Truth of our inner Being to be manifested on this earth. So before Christ was born,he was carried in the hearts of men. then he was manifested on the earth as flesh. and now,once again he is carried in the hearts of men,not just as a memory of what we have been read and told,but as close and as real as our own breath

So did Jesus Christ accept Himself as his own personal savior
as the Born Agains declare one must do in order to get to Heaven; or in his case back in?

In all ages the Prophets told about the son of God. That is why they had sacrifices, as a similitude of what was going to happen to the savior. The death of Jesus was the end to them and now we take sacrament as he showed us in the last supper. It is the new law in remembrance of his sacrifice.

The Bible, especially the New Testament, is a fabrication of the Roman Emperors to pacify a rebellious Judea, who subsequently edited the Old Testament ex post facto to prophesize about the Roman invented Jesus myth.

No it did not exist. How could it since the religion is based upon the life death and teachings of and about Jesus Christ. Jesus himself was a Jew and so were his disciples.

correct. Christians are essential Jews, who believe Jesus of Nazareth was the promised Messiah. And through Christ's sacrifice, salvation can be found, rather than through the law.

O Bible Believers, why not you reveal your god that Jesus has paid the price of your crimes and sins?
Most of culprits, sinners, alchohlic and adulterous Christians are being afflicted by God with STD (Sexually transmitted diseases) including AIDS, Hepatitis and painful torments. Why not you tell your god that Jesus has paid the price and do not afflict us due out sins, crimes and transgressions??? Or your sins, crimes and transgressions exceeded than price paid by Jesus?????
