Who Founded Christianity & When?

There are many Christian branches, however commonly taught is that God founded Christianity about 2,000 years ago through his miraculous virgin birth as Jesus. Jesus is said to have begun teaching as a child and throughout young adulthood, until he gave himself as a sacrifice for mankind. Christianity teaches the Jesus has risen from the dead and united with his oneness as God.

to Lee: no, the Jews were God's 'chosen people' b/c Jesus was born among them. Christ is the founder of it and it existed b/4 the beginning of time. No human 'created' it

It is taught that Christianity was founded by God. A true Christian believes everything in the Holy Bible as true. That would include 2 Timothy 3:16; "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." That would mean that God wrote the Holy Bible and this created true Christianity.

I still don't get it, when was it formed?
Oh and, Jesus considered himself a Jew so he didn't form Christianity, but he was the symbol for it!

Christianity started the moment the earth was created. God founded it. It wasn't taught that Jesus died on the cross before He actually did, obviously, but people in the old testament believed the same as the Christians do today, they were Christians, they just didn't refer to themselves as Christians because the word Christianity wasn't a word then. It's complicated and hard to understand, but you just have to believe. The meaning of faith is "believing in something seeming impossible; believing in something invisible"

Christianity was founded by the Apostle Paul


3/9/2009 7:40:04 AM
Louis said:

The Apostles were the first 'Christians', which simply meant 'followers of Christ's teachings', around 30 AD. It was the Romans, around 350 AD, who publicly proclaimed it as an organized religion. Christ did not establish Christianity since he wasn't around when it happened - his followers did.

ok. christianity was founded by the disciples of Jesus after they witnessed Jesus rise. Paul spread the word of Jesus, he did not found it. Judaism is the root of Christianity. Jesus was Jewish therefore.

Jesus Christ is the founder of Christianity. It was Jesus’s death that paid the price for the sins of the world. “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). It was the Jesus resurrection that guarantees eternal life to all those who believe in him. In Ephesians 2:20 it says it was “built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ himself as the chief cornerstone”. So even without the Apostle Paul Christianity would have been spread, he wasn’t the only person who spread the word. There were 12 Apostles and Jesus commissioned the 11 to “go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything I commanded you” (Romans 8:19-20). When he commissioned the 11 apostles this excluded Judas because of the betrayal of Jesus. Jesus Christ is the basis of Christianity. There is no Christianity without Christ. It was Christ with his death, shedding of blood and resurrection from the dead that defined Christianity not the Apostle Paul.
Christianity to me is to be a follower of Christ so if you exclude Christ from the equation you have “ianity” which as far as I know has no meaning.
