who is christanitys true founder?

Answer 1

Religious scholars have long attributed the tenets of Christian faith more to Paul’s teachings than to those of Jesus.

Appearance

1. Jesus was bearded, as are most Muslims, but only the rare Christian.

2. Jesus dressed modestly. If we close our eyes and form a mental picture, we see flowing robes, from wrists to ankles—much like the loose Arabian thobes and the Indio-Pakistani shalwar kameez, typical of the Muslims of those areas. What we don’t imagine is the revealing or seductive clothing so ubiquitous in Christian cultures.

3. Jesus’ mother covered her hair, and this practice was maintained among the Christian women of the Holy Land up to the middle of the twentieth century. Again, this is a practice maintained among Muslims as well as Orthodox Jews (of which Jesus was one), but not among modern day Christians.
Manners

1. Jesus focused upon salvation and eschewed finery. How many “righteous” Christians fit this “It’s not just on Sundays” profile? Now how many “five prayers a day, every day of the year” Muslims?

2. Jesus spoke with humility and kindness. He didn’t “showboat.” When we think of his speeches, we don’t imagine theatrics. He was a simple man known for quality and truth. How many preachers and how many evangelists follow this example?

3. Jesus taught his disciples to offer the greeting of “Peace” (Luke 10:5), and then set the example: “Peace be with you” (Luke 24:36, John 20:19, John 20:21, John 20:26). Who continues this practice to this day, Christians or Muslims? “Peace be with you” is the meaning of the Muslim greeting, “Assalam alaikum.” Interestingly enough, we find this greeting in Judaism as well (Genesis 43:23, Numbers 6:26, Judges 6:23, I Samuel 1:17 and I Samuel 25:6).
Religious Practices

1. Jesus was circumcised (Luke 2:21). Paul taught it wasn’t necessary (Rom 4:11 and Gal 5:2). Muslims believe it is.

2. Jesus didn’t eat pork, in keeping with Old Testament law (Leviticus 11:7 and Deuteronomy 14:8). Muslims also believe pork is forbidden. Christians … well, you get the idea.

3. Jesus didn’t give or take usury, in compliance with the Old Testament prohibition (Exodus 22:25). Usury is forbidden in the Old Testament and the Quran, as it was forbidden in the religion of Jesus. The economies of most Christian countries, however, are structured upon usury.

4. Jesus didn’t fornicate, and abstained from extramarital contact with women. Now, this issue extends to the least physical contact with the opposite sex. With the exception of performing religious rituals and helping those in need, Jesus never even touched a woman other than his mother. Strictly practicing Orthodox Jews maintain this practice to this day in observance of Old Testament law. Likewise, practicing Muslims don’t even shake hands between the sexes. Can Christian “hug your neighbor” and “kiss the bride” congregations make the same claim?
Practices of Worship

1. Jesus purified himself with washing prior to prayer, as was the practice of the pious prophets who preceded him (see Exodus 40:31-32 in reference to Moses and Aaron), and as is the practice of Muslims.

2. Jesus prayed in prostration (Matthew 26:39), like the other prophets (see Nehemiah 8:6 with regard to Ezra and the people, Joshua 5:14 for Joshua, Genesis 17:3 and 24:52 for Abraham, Exodus 34:8 and Numbers 20:6 for Moses and Aaron). Who prays like that, Christians or Muslims?

3. Jesus fasted for more than a month at a time (Matthew 4:2 and Luke 4:2), as did the pious before him (Exodus 34:28, I Kings 19:8), and as do Muslims in the annual fast of the month of Ramadan.

4. Jesus made pilgrimage for the purpose of worship, as all Orthodox Jews aspire to do. The Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca is well known, and is alluded to in the Bible (see The First and Final Commandment).
Matters of Creed

1. Jesus taught the oneness of God (Mark 12:29-30, Matthew 22:37 and Luke 10:27), as conveyed in the first commandment (Exodus 20:3). Nowhere did he declare the Trinity.

2. Jesus declared himself a man and a prophet of God (see above), and nowhere claimed divinity or divine sonship. Which creed are the above points more consistent with—the Trinitarian formula or the absolute monotheism of Islam?

In short, Muslims appear to be the “Jesus freaks” of modern day, if by that expression we mean those who live by God’s laws and Jesus’ example.

Carmichael notes, “… for a whole generation after Jesus’ death his followers were pious Jews and proud of it, had attracted into their fold members of the professional religious classes, and did not deviate even from the burdensome ceremonial laws.”[1]

One wonders what happened between the practices of the first generation of Jesus’ followers and the Christians of modern day. At the same time, we have to respect the fact that Muslims exemplify Jesus’ teachings more than Christians do. Furthermore, we should remember that the Old Testament foretold three prophets to follow. John the Baptist and Jesus Christ were numbers one and two, and Jesus Christ himself predicted the third and last. Hence, both Old and New Testaments speak of a final prophet, and we would be amiss if we didn’t consider that final prophet to be Muhammad, and the final revelation to be that of Islam.

Answer 2

Depends on what you mean by "founder." If you mean the person that founded the roots by which Christianity was founded upon, then Abraham who originally had the Covenant with god, founded Judaism. Since Christianity is apart from Judaism in the surrounding of Christ, one could say potentially Jesus was the supposed founder. But the person that ultimately spread Jesus's teachings and values was Paul and his followers.

Answer 3

Jesus came to this earth to add a little more care and concern to the Jewish people's beliefs and become all peoples Saviour plus other things , am sure. l We all should be Jewish if they would have followed Jesus's teachings. However they did not. There fore when Christ was crucified, rose from the dead and sits someplace near God the father or mother, Jesus's followers ran with the teaching and started Christianity which means trying to be Christ like. However, men being men, placed themselves before all, and started making their own rules and not at all trying to be Christ like. I have met few if any. I ; myself try but fail most times.

I believe the apostle Paul was the main person to spread Christ like behaviour, along with Peter who set himself up as the head of the new faith--according to history of the time and interpertation of the so called written holy word.

Answer 4

Jesus the Christ. It wasn't Paul, because Christians were already meeting and worshiping before Paul converted to Christianity.

And no, Jesus wasn't Muslim. Muslims can't retroactively decide who was Muslim when Islam didn't even exist until HUNDREDS of years afterwards. It is a lie to even imagine that Mohammed was mentioned in the Bible, except for where the Bible mentions the many false prophets that were to come - Mohammed being one of them.

And Jesus would not belong to a religion that contradicts what Jesus said about Himself.

Answer 5

Christianity wasn't official until Constantine and the council of Nicaea, 200 years after Christ's Death. Constantine wanted everyone united under one religion and since Christ had people leaning towards his teachings chose that. The council edited and wrote the bible under his direction and (though he was a pagan) he knew that this was the best way to go, unfortunately the early church decided to put in a lot of stuff putting down pagans!

Answer 6

Super,
GOD sent HIS SON. I attribute Christianity to our FATHER and HIS SON is the one who leads the True Church. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Thanks,
