Who is the origin of Christianity?
Christianity originated in Roman occupied Jerusalem, a predominantly but not entirely
Jewish society, with traditional philosophies distinct from the Classical Greek thought
which was dominant in the greater Roman Empire at the time.
Beliefs and Practices
Belief in God the Father, Jesus Christ as the Son of God, and the Holy Spirit.
The death, descent into hell, resurrection and ascension of Christ.
The holiness of the Church and the communion of saints.
Christ's second coming, the Day of Judgement and salvation of the faithful.
Effects:
The ten commandments, in order, are:
1.“I am the Lord thy God, thou shalt not have any strange gods before Me.”
This commandment forbids idolatry,
the worship of false gods and goddesses,
and it excludes polytheism,
the belief in many gods, insisting instead on
monotheism,
the belief in one God. This commandment forbids making golden
calves, building temples to Isis, and worshipping statues of Caesar, for example.
2.“Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.”
The faithful are required to honor the name of God. It makes sense that if you’re
to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, then you’re naturally to
respect the name of God with equal passion and vigor.
3.“Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day.”
The Jewish celebration of Sabbath (Shabbat)
begins at sundown on Friday
evening and lasts until sundown on Saturday. Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox
