why are the true origins of christianity and the bible never taught in church?

Answer 1

Because they are human origins. Religion doesn't like to admit that it is man-made.

If they taught the true history of Christianity, they would have to mention that the stuff written about Jesus was written long after he died, if he existed at all. They'd also have to explain how Paul, who wrote decades after Jesus died, didn't mention much about Jesus. But decades after Paul, the Gospel writers suddenly "remembered" details of Jesus' life and tons of miracles he did.

Christianity just isn't as convincing when you look at it closely enough.

Answer 2

The Bible was codified 400 years after the origins of Christianity. Those origins are taught in my church. And the entire message boils down to three sentences:
1. You are loved.
2. You are forgiven.
3. You are saved.

Answer 3

They are taught in some churches. What is not taught is gnostic propaganda and unsupported claims that are like something you would read out of one of those tabloids you see at the front of a supermarket check out stand. You know, stuff like

"News Flash! - New Evidence Shows that The Bible was actually written by a secret society of Knights Templers who later went on to form the Masons!"

Accompanied by some photo that supposedly supports the nonsense written in the article. Maybe with some quotes by Dan Brown or something like that from his self proclaimed work of fiction "The Da Vinci Code"

Here's a link to 35 sermons taught at a Baptist church that chronicles the history of the church including all of the corrupt leaders, the political influences and the faults of various icons of the past.

Answer 4

Your question is based on a flawed assumption. The true origins of christianity and the bible are NOT never taught in church, therefore your question makes no sense. It is like asking "why do people never get wet when it rains?". The fact that people do not never get wet when it rains maes such a question meaningless.

Answer 5

Most churches don't get that deep during a Sunday service. IF a church teaches the origin of the Bible, it will do so during a weekly Bible Study.

Churches DO teach these things, you just have to look for them. Ask your pastor or study leaders.

Answer 6

Religion


Religion has been the cause of atrocities throughout history, BUT THATS NOT RELIGION APPROVED BY GOD
do you understand what religion really is? Religion is an organized way of worshipping someone or something,
Jesus had a religion, he was a Jew he practiced the religion of Judaism, that God gave to Moses when he brought
them out of Egypt The Israelites had been in Egypt with out laws for 215 yrs, just like we have European or other
roots we’re American now. So he had to give them the law (613 in all) now you talk about knowing what is right or
wrong, western civilization is built on the Judeo Christian religion. Although the Christian religion has been
apostatized since the 1st century.

Answer 7

Viper,

I think that it's because most clergy don't really know. There is so much trust built up in the traditions of Christianity, that much of it is just accepted on trust and faith. Most seminaries and Bible colleges don't dwell on Nicea in depth, because it raises too many questions. People, including clergy, want to believe that their faith is founded on truth. In time, what took place at the Council of Nicea in 325 A.D., will become general knowledge. The teachings of Jesus cannot be buried forever. Eventually, the message of the Gospel of the Kingdom will come to light again. Even in the Bible, however, it says that most people will be deceived by the false prophets, and it seems to have come true. Peace be unto you..............

Answer 8

Mostly because the churches don't want people to understand that the scriptures were chosen to preserve the power structure of the time. You will never hear about how Christianity and Mithraism relate nor how the Gnostic movement related to early Christianity. You also never hear how Paul completely overturned Jesus' teachings by promoting them to the Gentiles. *shrug*

Answer 9

You simply don't know the "true" origin of Christianity? Did you loose your book?

My church teaches the "true" origins of Christianity starting with the bible.

Answer 10

I think in the Catholic church they are taught but in special classes for the kids who don't go to the Catholic school.

Answer 11

I have sat in one sermon where it was taught, but quickly brushed over saying that God guided these uninspired men to decide which books to include and which to reject. The preacher neglected that the emperor Constantine who ordered the council of Nicea that made these decisions was pagan.
