What other people were important besides god and Jesus in Christianity?

Answer 1

Mary the mother of Jesus of Nazareth and John the Baptist. In addition to the above: St Paul - the first great missionary without whom Christianity would have taken a lot longer to spread and flourish. The four gospel writers, Matthew (the disciple), Mark (the follower of Jesus and missionary with Paul), Luke (doctor and companion of Paul on his missionary journeys) and John (Jesus' most beloved disciple) - without whom the records of Jesus' life would be fewer. Add to these the patriarchs and characters of the Old Testament - including the prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Malachi, Micah etc) who prophesised the coming of Jesus Add to these the billions of Christians over the years who have lived and worked by Christian principles to try to make the world a better place through abolition of slavery, free education for all, hospital care, countless charities, striving for world peace, work with the poorest all over the world, and so on.
