Most of the religion like Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Islam and even the Egyptians all believed in life after death and with the concept of Heaven and Hell
Christianity is one of the three monotheistic religions, religions in which the belief is in one God. Christianity arose out of Judaism with the life and teachings of Jesus. After His death His followers continued His teaching. They are known to us as the early Christians from the word christ meaning the messiah. This was the beginning of the Christian religion.
What we agree on is that this command is no longer in effect.
There were more than three groups targeted by the church during the dark ages. Heretics, or fellow Christians who didn't believe the church's teachings were right, and proclaimed such beliefs were often imprisoned and put to death. The indigenous populations of various regions practiced religions or medical herbalism that the church felt was witchcraft and would execute their judgment on such individuals, often in a very harsh way. Jews and Muslims as well as many other religions also suffered persecution from Christians who were doing the exact opposite of what Jesus taught.
Christians believe that reaching heaven is through faith in Jesus Christ as their savior and living a life according to the teachings of the Bible. It is through a personal relationship with Jesus, repentance of sins, and following his commandments that Christians believe they can reach heaven after death.
Umm. Christians?
Unfortunately it is somewhat divided.On one side the camp: You have the mainstream religions whose flock believes in an 'afterlife' after death; even though some of their scholars recognize that the Bible doesn't teach such. This brings us to . . .The other side of the camp. Some scholars agree with Jehovah's Witnesses as Christians who do NOT believe in an 'afterlife'. Instead they believe in a resurection 'on the last day'. In the meantime, they believe that when you die, your are actually dead.
Yes Christians believe in life after death. The Bible (God's word) teaches that.
The term "Christ" refers to Jesus Christ, who is considered by Christians to be the Messiah and the Son of God. He is believed to have come to Earth to save humanity from sin and offer salvation through his teachings, death, and resurrection.
The resurrection is important to Christians because it affirms the belief in Jesus' victory over death, providing hope for eternal life. It also validates Jesus' divinity and confirms the truth of his teachings. Christians view the resurrection as the cornerstone of their faith and the ultimate demonstration of God's power.
The books of the New Testament that provide the "good news" for Christians are the four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These books tell the story of Jesus Christ's life, teachings, death, and resurrection, which are central to the Christian faith.
