What is the country of origin of christainity?

Answer 1

Christianity originated roughly 2000 years ago in the Middle East in what was then the Roman province of Judea. The New Testament tells of a Jewish citizen named Jesus of Nazareth, who claimed to be the son of God. He is said to have performed many miracles, and gained devoted followers. His disciples believed that he was the Messiah - a figure spoken of in Jewish prophecy that would usher in a golden age for the Hebrew people. However, some of the religious leaders and other Jews did not believe Jesus, and thought he was a false Messiah. One of Jesus' own disciples turned him over to the authorities, and he was executed by crucifixion. His disciples claimed that three days after he died, he rose again and ascended to heaven.

While the Old Testament of the Bible is based upon the Jewish Torah, the New Testament is about the teachings of Jesus, which is where the two religions split paths. The Jews do not believe that Jesus fulfilled the prophecies of the Messiah, such as ruling over an independent Jewish nation. Christians believe that Jesus was the Messiah, and the Greek translation Kristos, is where Christianity got its name from.

Answer 2

AnswerAccording to Christians, Christianity was founded by G-D. It is the doctrines and teachings of Jesus Christ. Christians believe that Jesus is the Christ, or the Messiah. After His death and resurrection, his disciples (like Peter and Paul) spread His gospel abroad.

To understand what Christianity is, though, look at the root word Christos, which is Greek for Christ. The Christ was the "anointed one," to be anointed means to be chosen by G-D for royalty or priesthood. While Christ is from the Greek, Messiah comes from the Hebrew "Meshiach," also meaning the "anointed one." A "Christian" and a "Messianic" Believer by definition must be one and the same.

AnswerAlmost all scholars and Christians accept that Christianity began in Palestine, following the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. Minority views are that it really developed in either Syria or Egypt. AnswerIt is essential that Paul be included in discussions of the origins of Christianity. Without the work that Paul did, Christianity might not have caught on anywhere. He made several missionary journies that are documented in the Book of Acts, and he also played a major role in opening the Christian church to the non-Jewish communities of the day. Most study bibles have sections outlining Paul's journies, and they make for a very exciting time in the early history of the church. Paul's letters, independent of the journeys he made, also play a major role in the dissemination of Christian teaching. AnswerJudaism AnswerChristianity was a religion evolved from the Ancient Egyptian Religion of Sun worship between 2 and 3 thousand years ago.

First it is important to point out that Jesus Christ as worshipped by Christians has only ever appeared in religious texts which are not considered to be a reliable source of history by main stream historians. He has never appeared in any actual historical documents and so there is considerable doubt as to whether he actually existed as described in The Bible at all.

As far as the origin of Christianity goes there are many documents I can reference but the documentary "Zietguist" does this for us very well so I will quote a summary from the text:

"Furthermore, the character of Jesus, a literary and astrological hybrid, is most explicitly a plagiarization of the Egyptian Sun-god Horus.For example, inscribed about 3500 years, on the walls of the Temple of Luxor in Egypt are images of the enunciation, the immaculate conception, the birth, and the adoration of Horus. The images begin with Thaw announcing to the virgin Isis that she will conceive Horus, then Nef the holy ghost impregnating the virgin, and then the virgin birth and the adoration.This is exactly the story of Jesus' miracle conception. In fact, the literary similarities between the Egyptian religion and the Christian religion are staggering."

Answer

For Christians, Christianity originated as the disciples (and later, the apostles) spread the news of Jesus Christ's death and resurrection, building up a fledgling church which has grown into what it is today. These men, who fled from the scene and denied their association with Jesus while he was being crucified, preached with a boldness that went against the Jewish traditions in which they had been raised.

Originally, these followers called themselves followers of "the Way" (Acts 9:2), after Jesus's words "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father but by me." Sometime after Christ's death and resurrection, a new term arose, that being "Christian". The first use of this word "Christian" to refer to christ's followers is recorded in Acts 11:26 as having been used in Antioch, a city in Syria. The term comes from the Greek word meaning Messiah "Christos" and the latin ending "ianus". The combination of these two words means "belonging to Christ".
