The Christian Belief
In the past God spoke to out forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in this last days he has spoken to us by his son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. The son is a radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful words. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of his Majesty in Heaven. Thus, the Christian belief is that God has spoken through the ancient Hebrew prophets, recorded in the old testament scriptures, and that Jesus Christ is the prophesied Messiah, the son of God, who would pay the penalty for man's wrongdoing so that God would forgive mankind and still be a just God. That is why Christians invite all to receive God's forgiveness and enter a love relationship with God.
The 3 major classes of Christendom The three major classes of Christendom are:
I. Eastern Orthodoxy
II Roman Catholicism
III Protestantism
This three branches have a common core beliefs they hold on to:
They believe in the;
I. divinity of Christ
II. his sacrificial death
III. his resurrection from death Among the three major branches, under the Protestantism, there are two subdivision Denominations and Non-denominations Under.
The Denominations are: The Lutheran Church The Presbyterian Church The Baptist Church and Methodist Church and etc While for the Non-denominations The Church of Christ and etc. I am of the Church of Christ, we speak where the Bible speaks and silent where it does, we do not add nor subtract from the Bible, we follow the teachings of Christ and his doctrine and the writings of his apostles. An answer All this ain't an answer to the question above, I mean it's far from it, maybe! but was trying to let you know a little about the Christianity as a "religion" Now, the question is "why do you need a religion"? I shall answer according to what I know about my religion, "Christianity". There's is a promise of eternal life, hope to live forever after live here on earth. A life where there's no sickness, no dead, no jeopardy, no pains, no suffering, no war. How possible! Such a life you may ask yourself but you can't truly imagine for such life only exist in "Shangri-la" ofcoure that's Heaven! But what must you do to earn such a ticket to this life, you follow the commandments in the "Holy Bible" stick to it, delight yourself in God, keep your heart clean and flee from all manner of sins. Moreover we need a religion like the Christianity which I am of and much familiar with because it has the book of the law which is the "Bible" it teaches you all you need to live by in this life, it hold the best laws and commandments (particularly the new testament scriptures). You can not compare God's law and Human's. Take for example, the LGBT, it's not accepted by all, maybe because it goes against the law nature, I don't know, Although everyone says all religion teaches good, but you must search and know what is behind and who they truly worship wether is God, Man or Idol!
