Hey! Welcome to watchmojo.com. I am your host Melissa and today I am going to talk to you a little bit about one of the major religion in the world, that being Christianity, which is based on the life and teachings of Jesus.
Now, with over 2 billion followers, it is the world’s largest religion and divided into three categories; Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox and Protestant. The central teachings tell us that Jesus is the son of God and also the second person of the Holy Trinity. It also tells us that His life on earth, His death and His ascension are proof of God’s loving forgiveness of human sins; the first of which was created by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and we know as original sin.
The Nicene Creed, which originated at the Councils of Nicaea and Constantinople plays a major role in Christianity. The purpose of the Creed was to establish a conformity belief. Now, some of the beliefs put forth by this Creed are the Trinity, Jesus has spoken to God and man, the forgiveness of sins through baptism, and the Virgin birth, resurrection, crucifixion and ascension of Jesus.
Christianity has a long and complicated history which we would not get into right now. But we do know that it began the 1st Century as a Jewish sect. As a result, it shares many religious texts with Judaism and in particular, the Hebrew Bible which the Christian’s refer to as the Old Testament.
So, there you have it, your brief introduction to Christianity.
