What happened to start the Christian church?

Answer 1

The Christian church simply means the followers of Jesus Christ. Therefore it was Jesus who started it. Supporting evidence is provided in The Bible, which is the best-evidenced ancient document in existence today (most others only have a few manuscripts at most, while the Bible has literally hundreds).

Other answers:

Jesus Christ did not start the Christian Church. Jesus Christ wasn't even his real name. It was Joshua son of Joseph, son of Jacob. The church was around decades before. John the Baptist in most cases was Joshua Grandfather, but this is still debated but was one who really took the church and developed it.

It is not know where Christian religion started but there is proof it was around at least in 800 BC in Egypt.

Answer 2

The Christian church was founded by the apostles as they spread the Word. In particular, Simon Peter ("the Rock")is given credit for leading the movement that became Christianity.

Paul was a major influence in spreading the gospel to the Gentiles.

Answer 3

The Great Commission

Before Jesus Christ died on the cross he commanded all his followers to go into the world and share the Gospel(good news) that all are sinners but he gave his life to atone for these sins and we can live in paradise if we accept the gift. Just to be clear, "church" is where two or more are gathered in his name so the "Christian church" happened the day after he died.

Roman Catholic Answer: The Church started on the Feast of Pentecost when God sent the Holy Spirit on the disciples to strengthen them and fill them will all knowledge. Jesus' promised that He would be with His church until the end of time and that the very gates of hell would not prevail against it.

Answer 4

Jesus Christ began the Christian religion. The followers of the Apostles erected Churches and the Apostles themselves appointed Bishops and Deacons to head up those Churches. Those Bishops, built other Churches and appointed other Bishops who would succeed them. In Rome, for instance, there have been a total of 265 Bishops of Rome in the last 2000 years, starting with the Apostle Peter and continuing with Pope Benedict XVI. All of these Bishops contributed to the building process of Churches and Dioceses. While much worship consisted of the commemoration of the Last Supper (or the Holy Mass) in private homes, due to the persecution of the Christians by Rome, Churches were erected, some of the withstanding constant attacks from the secular Roman authorities. Remnants of some of these Churches still remain and are a part of either the Holy Roman Catholic Church or of the Eastern Orthodox Church.

Answer 5

Ephesians 2:19-21 says, "You are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God's household, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord," And in Matthew 16:18, Jesus said, "on this rock, I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it."

Answer 6
