Since Mark's Gospel is now known to have been the original New Testament gospel, the most accurate information about the mission of Jesus should be found in that gospel. Here, only outsiders call Jesus the Son of God, but in verse 8:29, Peter responds to a question from Jesus by saying, "Thou art the Christ." Later in the Gospel, Peter denies Jesus, not once but three times. The two events happen to form a pair (pair T) in the parallel structure of Mark's Gospel, emphasising just how shallow Peter's faith was or, perhaps more likely, how the author of Mark was at pains to protect the still small Christian community from accusations of blasphemy that might be levelled against them by the Jews:
A . John explains the coming of Jesus (Mark 1:1-8)
B .The baptism of Jesus (1:9)
C . The voice of God from heaven, "Thou art my beloved son" (1:11)
D . The forty days in the wilderness as an allusion to Elijah and Moses (1:13)
E . The people were astonished at what Jesus taught (1:22)
F . Jesus casts out an unclean spirit (1:23-26)
G . Pharisees took counsel with the Herodians how they might destroy Jesus (3:6)
H . Demons, whenever they see Jesus, fall down and say that he is the Son of God.
-- Jesus commands that they tell no one of this (3:11-12)
I .. Jesus calls the 12 disciples (3:13-19)
J .. Jesus rejects his own family: he has a new family, his followers (3:31-35)
K . Jesus rebukes the wind (4:36-41)
L . The demoniac, wearing no clothes (5:15), cries out that Jesus not torment him and Jesus sends out the demons (5:1-20)
M . Jesus comes into his own country (6:1)
-- Where he was brought up
N . The people misunderstand Jesus and he can do no mighty work (6:2-6)
O . Jesus sends out the disciples and curses those who will not receive them (6:7-11)
-- in sending the disciples with authority and expecting all to receive them, Jesus is asserting his own authority
P . Herod thinks that Jesus is John the Baptist risen from the dead (6:14)
Q . Herodias and her daughter conspire to kill John the Baptist (6:16-29)
R . Feeding the thousands, and related miracles and discourses (6:33-8:21)
S . Who do people say that I am (8:27)
T . Peter affirms faith in Jesus as the Christ (8:29)
U . Whosoever shall be ashamed of me: of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed (8:38)
V . The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and scribes (8:31a)
W . Be killed and after three days rise again (8:31b)
X . Prophecy of second coming (9:1)- Jesus tells the disciples that some of them would not taste death until they saw the kingdom of God coming with power.
B' .The Transfiguration of Jesus (9:2-3)
C' .The voice of God from heaven, "This is my beloved son" (9:7)
D' . Jesus talks to Elijah and Moses then to the disciples about Elijah (9:4-13)
E' .A great multitude was amazed at Jesus (9:15)
F' .Jesus cast out a dumb spirit (9:17-27)
G' .They shall kill the Son of man and he shall rise on the third day (9:31)
H' .Jesus clarifies his divine status, saying that he is not God: "Why call me good? There is none good but God" (10:18)
I' . Peter says the disciples have left all and followed Jesus (10:28)
J' . Those who have left their family for Jesus have a new family: all Jesus' followers (10:29-30)
K'. Jesus rebukes the 'sons of thunder', James and John (10:35-45 - cf 3:17)
L' .Blind Bartimaeus cries out for mercy and casts off his clothes, then Jesus heals him (10:46-52)
M' .Jesus comes into Jerusalem (11:1-10)
-- Where he will die
N' .Jesus misunderstands the fig tree that can provide no fruit (11:13-14)
O' .Jesus casts out them that sold and bought in the Temple and curses them for making the Temple a den of thieves (11:15-17)
-- Jesus is asserting his authority
P' .Jesus asks whether the baptism of John is from heaven or of men, and the priests, scribes and elders can not answer (11:30-33)

R' .The Last Supper (14:17-25)
S' .Art thou the Christ, Son of God (14:61)
T' .Peter denies Jesus three times (14:66-72a)
U' .And when he thought thereon, Peter wept (14:72b)
V' .The chief priests, elders and scribes delivered Jesus to Pontius Pilate (15:1)
-- Delivering Jesus is a similar concept to rejecting him.
-- Both parts of the pair involve chief priests, elders and scribes
W' .Jesus dies and on the third day rises again (15:37, 16:6)
A' .The young man explains the departure of Jesus(16:6-8)
E. P. Sanders (Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism: A Parallel History of Their Origins and Early Development, The Life of Jesus) says that 'Christ' and 'Son of God' became the two favourite Christian titles for Jesus, and that some Christians understood them in a way that Jews might have regarded as blasphemous. This justifies the subsequent denial at Mark 14:66-72a.

The other 11 apostles are traditionally believed to have spread Christianity to various regions but there is limited historical evidence specifically linking them to the foundation of other churches. However, Thomas is associated with the beginnings of the Malankara Church in India and Andrew with the Orthodox Church in Constantinople.

A.C. means after Christ. B.C. is before Christ.

The Church of the Latter Day Saints (Mormons) have people they call "apostles". Other movements may similarly call someone that is still living an "apostle". You'll have to decide for yourself whether such people have any relationship with the apostles that followed Jesus Christ about 2000 years ago - if that's what you are after.
Who are followers of Christ who lived lives of holiness?

The first followers of Jesus Christ were the likes of the apostles and other disciples who were close to him. They lived lives of holiness.
Why is Jerusalem holy to Christianity?
Why? Because Jesus the Christ spent much time in and around Jerusalem. But the biggest reason is that is where jesus Christ went to the cross, suffered and died for me and other Christians. He paid for our sin on the cross outside the walls of Jerusalem, was buried in a tomb there and was resurrected there.
Is the resurrection an essential doctrine of the Christian faith?
Absolutely! Christ was resurrected and so will everyone who has ever lived on this earth ==== If Christ is not raised then anyone's faith in Christ is in vain. Jesus predicted His resurrection. If He was not raised He is a liar. Same thing holds true for all His other predictions and promises. All must come to be or He is not whom He said He is.
A Cherokee Indian storyteller in 1250 telling a creation story?
Quite right, for all the Indian nations can tell the story of the creation. They also talk of the return of a white bearded God who visited their forefathers many years ago. Christ told his apostles "Other sheep I have who are not of this fold, them to must I visit". These other sheep I strongly belive were the American Indian whom Christ visited long before it was called America.
Was Egypt conquered by Alexander the great before the birth of christ?
He died in 323 BCE. So yes, Egypt and all other territories he conquered where conquered before Christ. Egypt was already a Roman province by the time of Christ.
Which one is the initials letter before Christ?
B.C. stands for Before Christ, and B.C.E. stands for before common era. Both initials refer to the same time period. B.C.E. has started being used because it was thought that Before Christ might offend people of other religions. However, both initials use Christ's birth as the reference.
