How was Christianity founded?

Answer 1

In Acts 11:26, we are informed, "And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch (of Syria)." The believers in Christ at the church at Antioch were so devout in learning about Christ and following His teaching, that the people outside the church called them Christians or Christ-followers, which is thought to originally be a derogatory name.

Jesus Christ was sent to earth by His heavenly Father to ultimately die on the Cross for man's sins. He was born to the tribe of Judah in Israel, as the promised Messiah of the Jews. As the Eternal Son of God, He specifically called out twelve men, which became His Apostles, teaching them the ways of God. Others who followed Jesus Christ were called His disciples.

Many poor and simple folk believed in Him, but among the religious leaders of Judaism, few believed and trusted Him. These opposition leaders eventually moved the crowds to call for the crucifixion of Christ. Yet this was allowed by God the Father, for He had planned to have His son sacrifice His life for mankind.

Initially, His close disciples (the Apostles, lacking Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Him and hung himself) were despondent at His death and burial. Yet when He arose from the grave, they were exceedingly joyful, and enthusiastically spread the truth of why Christ had come to earth. The church blossomed forth after Christ arose and had empowered His disciples with the Holy Spirit on Pentecost (Acts 2:1-47).

Jesus had said: "I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Matthew 16:18. As He moved His disciples and filled them with the Holy Spirit, the Church was born or started. This is how Christianity was founded.
Christianity was not "founded". The definition of being a Christian is to believe that Jesus Christ is God's son and that He is the only way to Heaven. God sent his son Jesus to Earth to preach and teach the people about him. He lived on this earth until he was killed by unbelievers. His disciples continued telling other people about the life-saving trust in God. To this day, there are millions of Christians who believe that Jesus is the only way to heaven. Through the years, disbelievers tried to crush Christianity, but it remains today. For more information, visit www.elevationchurch.org .

Answer 2

Christianity was found by the Romans...having the word "Christ" as in Jesus Christ in it...the Romans used to torture and kill Christians because they though it wasn't a real religion and thought it was a waste of their time. The Roman Empire soon realized that there were so many Christians and they were very strong in their belief...so they decided to make Christianity the official religion of Rome...therefore spreading throughout the world and we now have Christianity.
