Christianity is not just a religion; it is a relationship with God. (1cor13:1-2) Many people believe in Christianity but at the same time many do not believe in Christianity. Is Christianity real or not? Well yes Christianity is true because of these three points. First Christianity is real because it can be only as true as Jesus. Secondly, evidence shows that Christianity is real through God’s inspiration in the Bible and in recorded history. Third all other religions are both unreliable and inconsistent to their own teachings. Christianity is real because it can be only as true as Jesus. In which Jesus is real because most notably roman historians like Flavius Josephus and Cornelius Tacitus compare Christian accounts of Jesus' life with …show more content…
History and archaeology confirm that the Bible is true. Prophesies from the Bible have been fulfilled through all the books inspired by God. Prophecies about Jesus being born of a virgin in Isaiah 7:14 and was fulfilled in Matthew 1:18,25. In Micah 5:2, God said His birthplace would be in Bethlehem and this was fulfilled in Matt. 2:1. Preceded by a messenger in Isaiah 40:3, which was fulfilled in Matt. 3:1-2. Jesus’ side was pierced in Zech. 12:10, and shown as fulfilled in John 19:34. Therefore, the prophecy was told that He would be crucified in Psalm 22:1, 11-18, and His crucifixion was fulfilled in John 19:23-24. Is Christianity real? Did it all really happen? It may seem like nothing more than a story from beyond, and may feel that it is just too complicated to comprehend and even hard for people living in the 21st century to believe that these events took place. However, Christian faith and beliefs, unlike any other religion are based upon complete historical events, including the most important of all, when Jesus Christ died and rose to life. Christianity is a not a myth or a fraud. In 1 Corinthians 15:14, Paul encourages his readers to grab hold of this central truth, that “if Christ did not rise, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain." The Bible teaches that the resurrection is the key to establishing that Jesus is indeed who He claims to …show more content…
This is shown to be true because Buddah did not rise from the dead, nor did Confusious or Zoroaster. Mohammad did not fulfill any detailed prophecy. Alexander the Great did not raise the dead or heal the sick. There was less reliable information written about them and with that being said, people still believe in them. Mormons teach that there are many gods and that a person can become a god. Christianity teaches us that there is only one God and no one can become a god. Christianity teaches that God was born as Jesus, a man in the flesh and Islam teaches that Jesus is not God in flesh--Jesus cannot be both God and not God at the same time. Other religions teach that we can be reincarnated, while others do not. Some religions teach that there is a literal hell, while others teach that hell is not real. They cannot all be true. If they cannot all be true, it cannot be true that all religions lead to God. Furthermore, this means that all other religions are indeed false in their claims to show the one true God (or gods). Remember, truth does not contradict itself. God exists and He will not put forth an exclusive and contradictory belief systems in an attempt to get people to believe in Him. He wants us to believe and trust Him without trying to convince us too. God is not the author of confusion (1 Cor. 14:33). Therefore, it is rational to
Across the world there are a surplus of beliefs and systems regarding Gods and religions. There are hundreds and thousands of theologians that claim they have the “truth” about the world and human creation. Although some of these claims may have truth wrapped in them, often times they are covered with fabrication, simply desiring to please the listener and offer the most beneficial reasoning for accepting it.

Jesus Christ is believed to be the son of God and is considered the human version of God. Christianity also believes in the Holy Spirit, which is with us always in everything we do. The Christian faith is based on the belief that Jesus was born in a manger of the virgin Mary. It is believed that he lived a perfect life where he made no mistakes or sins. Jesus was believed to have died on a cross for our sins while being spat upon and cursed with a crown of thorns upon his head. Next, Jesus was buried in a tomb and rose from the dead three days later. Finally, Jesus descended into heaven to be with his father once again.

Christians believe that Jesus will return one day to earth and will judge everyone and will take all Christians back to heaven with him to be with his father God.

Without the jury system, trials would be tyrannously determined. However, the jury system can, and has been corrupted before.
Between the 3 of the religions, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are all known to be monotheistic which means they all believe in only one god. As for each of them they all believe that they’re “God” is the origin and source of all that exists. In the religious views of the Jews, each of them believes that there is to be one God who cannot be made up of parts. Muslims believe in an “invisible God,” a god to be intensely feared through his supremacy. This God was not able to have children in which to the Muslims he is described as an “Ultimate God.” Christians hold fast to the trinity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. To Christians, God gave exposure of himself through the body of Jesus Christ, the man who was considered to be incarnated from God. Although each of the religions has their own founders,
The Christian religion finds its foundation on the Word of God and the work of Jesus Christ. Christianity finds its beginnings with Jesus Christ about 2,000 years ago. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came down to earth to teach, heal, and die for the sins of humanity. When God created man, he openly rebelled against God, causing a rift in their relationship. Since humans cannot save themselves, a perfect and completely innocent sacrifice was necessary in order to purify and restore mankind. Christianity is all about Jesus’ death and resurrection, as well as denying oneself and following Christ.
Christianity is the largest faith group in the world today. The word Christianity came from “Christ,” which meant the “Anointed One” and the central point of

Christianity is a monotheistic religion that is based on the Life, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, who they believe is their Messiah. Christianity, which was formed in the 1st Century, was based off of Judaism, a religion that also believes in Jesus but does not believe that he was the Messiah. Followers of Jesus call themselves Christians and have devoted their lives to the word of their God and live the way He has asked them to. Christians believe that Jesus was put to death in order to save them from their sins. Their sacred text is called the Bible and it contains two parts, the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament is written about the time before Jesus was born. The New Testament was written about Jesus’ life, death, and

Christianity is the religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Most followers of Christianity, called Christians, are members of one of three major groups--Roman Catholic, Protestant, or Eastern Orthodox. These groups have different beliefs about Jesus and His teachings. But all consider Jesus central to their religion. Most Christians believe God sent Jesus into the world as the Savior. Christianity teaches that humanity can achieve salvation through Jesus.
Christians believe that Jesus is both God and man, incarnation of God, and man -gives man two natures, physical and divined that they are united in one person. Thus the mystery of God becoming a human being, Jesus, and suffered and died, and Mary (Jesus' mother) was the mother of God.
