What is Christianity?
The word Christianity means; the believers who believe in Jesus Christ and His doctrine or Teachings,
and they also believe that the ultimate purpose of humanity on earth is to serve Him as their Messiah (savior and Lord even in the life to come).
And the very first believers that were called by this name; Christianity or Christians were in this place called Antioch around the year 40-45 AD (after the death of Christ) according to the book of Acts 11:26.
Since that time Christianity was birthed forth, and after the death of all the apostles (the fathers of the Christian movement,
that were Jewish by culture), after they had all past a way including Apostle Paul who was given the commission of bringing the gospel to the Gentile (nations), the Christian church was now left with a task of preaching the gospel of salvation with the guidance of the Holy spirit.
Year 33 AD, at the crucification of Jesus Christ , the roman empire was at the highest pitch of it's influence over the world and Israel.
During this time, the Jewish nation (Israel) were under the bondage of the roman empire, and they had to pay tribute (tax) to the romans. Every person that rebelled against the roman empire (evil system) was crucified. |
Without having their Jewish heritage and instructors with Jewish back ground that could instruct the Christians,
and teach them the accuracy and the real meaning of the scriptures, this brought forth the division in Christianity. When the Christian leaders from the Gentile nations who were still zealous for their own traditions,
came into authority and leadership into the Christian church, this started to rise up arguments; if it is still necessary to keep the old testament, and some claimed that even Jesus Christ Him self came to get rid of the old testament so that the new testament may be established, not knowing that; |
what Jesus Christ quoted, said, and did in action in the new testament,
all came from God's commandments that were given to Moses from the old testament, so now; new secular ways of thinking and doing things were invited into the church,
as the leaders of the Roman Catholic church began to replace God's seasons like the Passover, Pentecost, sabbath, with pagans feasts like Easter, Christmas, Sunday etc.
As you read the history of the Christian church you are going to find out that all the revelations that came from God to the Christian leaders of the church in the past and even now,
have turned out to be accurse and an instrument of destruction because of lack of understanding how to relate what is written in the old testament with what Jesus our Lord was saying to the believer that will come to believe in God through the new testament.
