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What we agree on is that this command is no longer in effect.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.
Plato wrote his teachings about the teachings of his scholar, Scrate, who was sentenced to death or exertion but picked death for teaching young people to rebel yet his teachings taught about a way to live life.
Yes Christians believe in life after death. The Bible (God's word) teaches that.
No.Christians not only follow the teachings of Jesus Christ but they also worship him as God incarnate as part of a Trinitarian God - Father, Son and Holy Spirit, because Christians believe that Jesus' claims to be God incarnate are true, and are born out in his miracles, his death, his resurrection from death, his ascension and the coming of the Holy Spirit as a result. Christians regard scripture as the Bible - the Old Testament being the Hebrew Bible before Christ, and the New Testament which tells of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ and the early Christian Church.Moslems still worship God (whom they call Allah) but reject the idea of the Trinity. They accept Jesus as a prophet as they (and Christians) would accept Moses and Elijah as prophets (as examples), but they do not regard him as divine. Instead they follow the teachings of another prophet Mohammed, whom they believe is the most important of all prophets who have ever lived. Whilst Muslims do not reject the Bible (they still trace their roots, like Christians and Jews, back to Abraham), they have as their scripture the Koran (Q'ran) which sets out clearly Muslim doctrine and theology. As there are so many differences between Islam and Christianity they can therefore be regarded as two separate religions, despite the common ancestry.As far as personal faith and behaviour are concerned there are many similarities between Islam and Christianity; it is in the main doctrines, however, of just who Jesus is, where the main differences lie.
