Jesus had twelve disciples/ apostles who were the original men who traveled and was taught by Jesus. These men had a large part in Jesus' ministry and were to carry on his teachings, which they did. Matthias was also a disciple of Jesus during this time and was counted as one of the original apostles when he was confirmed in the Book of Acts. Later we see a few other men in the New Testament who are called apostles, Paul being one of them. They indeed were apostles but were not of the group who were with Jesus in His ministry on earth. Barnabas and James, the Lord's brother were both called apostles.
Matthias the Apostle was chosen to replace Judas Iscariot as one of the Twelve Apostles. Before being chosen, Matthias was a witness to Jesus's ministry and resurrection.
No
This was Matthias:-Act 1:21-26 WEB "Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, (v.22) beginning from the baptism of John, to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection." (v.23) They put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. (v.24) They prayed, and said, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen (v.25) to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place." (v.26) They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
The birth, ministry, sacrifice, and resurrection of Jesus.
Jesus was always there from the start.
The Jews
Prior to beginning his ministry, Jesus was a Carpenter.
Most Christians regard Jesus' ministry and death and resurrection, as well as Pentecost as the beginning of Christianity. So the start date would be a little later in the 30s AD.AnswerChristianity started with the ministry of Jesus around 29 C.E. Upon his death in 33 C.E. his disciples continued this preaching work and formed congregations in the first century.
At the beginning of his public ministry, you can find it in Matt 3:16
At the beginning of the sentence or when it forms part of the proper noun or when it is used in the title. Example: Word for the World Christian Ministry

I'm sorry, but this depends upon what you mean by "begin". Jesus was born in 3 AD, according to most scholars today, so that could be the beginning. He began his ministry at age 30, or AD 33, if that is the start of Christianity. His ministry lasted 3 years, so his crucifixion and resurrection occurred in AD 36, so that also would be a good start date.
