Christianity

Christianity is one of the major religions of mankind and to the rest of the world. In Europe and America Christianity has been the dominant religion. Christianity has also spread throughout the world and has a greater number of supporters then any other religion.

Christianity was founded by a Jewish teacher known as Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus was born in Bethlehem, near Jerusalem, and grew up in the town of Nazareth. Jesus was educated by the Pharisaic school and was practicing as an observant Jew. As Jesus traveled through towns in Judea he gathered small groups of followers. He chose twelve from these groups and they became known as the twelve apostles. They traveled around the world preaching his teachings. According to the gospels, Jesus created great excitement among the people.

Jesus was tried before Pontius Pilate the Roman governor after many had feared him for healing, and preaching that he was the Messiah. Pilate eventually agreed to have Jesus crucified. According to the Bible, Jesus rose from the grave, and went back to his followers for forty days and preached before he rose back to the Heavens.

Jesus was considered the Jewish Messiah but also a savior for all human races. By following the teachings of Jesus, all people could be saved from the consequences of their sins. They could avoid damnation and instead enjoy the bliss of salvation in paradise after death in the heavens.

The religions of Christianity and Judaism both accept everyone and charge nothing. They welcome the poor and rich alike. They believe that the people should be good citizens and obey the laws. They both encourage them to practice charity and to care for the poor and weak.

Christians believe that the appointed Jesus was there Messiah. They believe that all people had some good in them. If they prayed to Jesus or God the Father, no matter what wrong they committed they would be forgiven in the eyes of their Lord. All men could be saved from sins in the after life. Christianity is now one of the major religions that can be found all over the world.

There were over 30,000 men in Israel alone. The act of crucifixion started by a man named Ormazd from Persia. He thought that the earth was sacred, so he did not want to defile the earth by killing criminals on it so he put them on a large pole to leave the criminals for death.

After Pilate gave the order to crucify Christ the soldiers took him. The
