Jesus Christ is the originator of CHRISTianity (named for Christ)
The word is, "Christianity". This is taken from the title, "Christ". As it turns out, Jesus was Christ, hence we call Him, "Jesus Christ". The reason Jesus is a significant figure in Christianity is that it was named after Him.
usually by whoever started it. Buddhism was started by Buddha. Confucianism was started by Confucius. Christianity (WHICH IS NOT A RELIGION) was started by Christ.
Christianity is named after Jesus Christ who established His Father's 'Church of God' called such about a dozen times in the New Testament.
Because Jesus was the Christ, Christianity is the faith that purportedly follows the teachings of Jesus. However, most Christian religions following the teachings of the epistle writer Paul instead. For example, Jesus says in the Bible "I am not here to start a new religion but to bring a new covenant." The fact that there are religions that follow the teachings of Jesus is in direct contradiction to his own words.
Christianity is the only religion to say that heaven is achievable by faith in Jesus, not by doing good deeds. They're god is named Jehovah. Jehovah is the one and only true god:).
Christianity is named after Jesus Christ. The best estimates say he flourished about 2000 years ago. Certainly not before then and it slowly developed to what we recognize today. Christianity started about 2000 years ago and still flourishes today. There are many churches in areas around the world. Many are in countries that do not allow Christianity so people are being murdered every day for even praying to or speaking about Christ. There are ways that you can give to missionaries everywhere. You can give money during offering at church because part of the total percentage goes to help missionaries overseas.
Christianity was founded by a man named Saul, later named Paul and St. Paul. Others argue that Christ was the founder of Christianity, but this is not true. Jesus never called anything Christianity as Paul did when going from city to city spreading the word. He set his life to converting those to the religion he called, Christianity. Throughout Paul's life, relationships, and time period, Paul made himself the founder of Christianity.
No Jesus was not "named" the messiah, he WAS the messiah, he was "named" Jesus.
There is no reason why those of differing religions would not make mention of the name Jesus though no one really counts these. In Christianity - over 30,000 churches/buildings claiming so, most if not all do.
Some say that Jesus was just a wandering holy man who simply wanted to reform Judaism. In this case, probably not.Some say that the Jesus of Paul was a spiritual Christ in heaven, and that the gospel Jesus was a literary invention based on the original, spiritual Jesus. The Epistle to the Hebrews supports this hypothesis. In which case, it is based upon a myth, and not a real person.Some say that Jesus was the Son of God and that the new religion of Christianity was his mission. In which case, yes, he wanted this new religion to be based around him and the Good News of the Gospels that he brought.
Yes Jesus' mother was named Mary, and was probably called that.
