What is Christianity & What do Christians believe? | Christianity Defined | GotQuestions.org 

Ultimately according to the bible, God is perfect and if He were to judge us we would all fall short, but He does not want that because He loves us. For example, let's say that you were able to live a perfect life, none of your actions went against God (sin just means actions that go against God's ways) and you believed in Him- theoretically, you would be able to go to Heaven but you would not be able to save everyone and quite frankly it IS impossible to live a perfect life in this world. As much as we want to make the right choices, with good and "evil" at our disposal we can't help but choose both. So Christians believe God took a bit of Himself and through the spirit when Mary accepted she gave birth to a man that was half God and half-human. So when that man was able to live a perfect life, when He died a piece of God died too so that God could pay the price that we could not. Because before Jesus, if God judged us we would all fall short which is why people had to do some weird things and rituals in the old testament in order to prove to God their love for Him and "cleanse" themselves. But the old testament prophecizes that someone would come and pay the price and be the Messiah. Ultimately Jesus was not the king people thought He was going to be and that is because Jesus' job on Earth was to die and He will be the King of Heaven for eternity which we cannot comprehend. That is what the first step is fear/doubt, how can you not fear something you cannot comprehend? Now Jesus preaches that all you have to do is believe that through Him dying and through His resurrection was proof that He was not a normal person and salvation is possible. You see, God does not want us to fall short or die, He wants us to live but where does he draw the line? Jesus says those who believe that He died and that our actions on this Earth cannot separate us from God's eternal love and all we have to do now is just believe. Where the New Testament is filled with guidelines for us to follow in order for us to not go through pain and suffering on this Earth because He does not want us to go through that, but none of your actions can ever guarantee eternal life nor separate you from His love. Ultimately God just wants a real relationship with you and that was made possible through Jesus' death so we cannot fall short anymore, God sees you as perfect as long as you believe and I am telling you if you consistently show God that you want to have a relationship with Him, He will show you how really alive He is and the more you learn about God through a relationship with Him, it changes your heart. But He is a spirit, not alive in the way where we can see with our eyeballs. Sorry for the book and thank you for reading if you got this far!!!

@@x3ena571 I'm old and I've read the Bible and I'm not impressed. I just thought there might be specific part of the Bible that talks explicitly about having a personal relationship with Jesus. I wondered if I'd missed it. To be honest I suspect it's a concept invented in the last few decades.

I think that God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit ultimately represents the relationship we have with ourselves. God is the best possible person we see in ourselves, Jesus represents all the action we take to enlighten ourselves and become that person and the Holy Spirit is the voice of reason within ourselves. Without these qualities, humanity cannot function, communicate and create.

John 3:16

That’s a big topic and depends, every version of the Bible reads differently and every person has a different understanding in life. Hence everyone would understand the Bible a little differently anyway. So in order for everyone to believe the Bible the exact same, everyone would have to think exactly the same and read the same verson of the Bible. The answer to your question varies on the topic, if it’s a core topic, then yes, but if it’s not a core topic, then no. Core topic: through Jesus Christ you can be born again and saved from the wrath of God; not a core topic: if you drink an alcoholic beverage you’re not a Christian - Kind of a poor example but you get my drift.

I don't think it was necessarily true in the past but, to many people in the twenty-first century, charity means helping people with your own time, talents or money while justice means helping people with other people's money.

Jesus showed us the path we can take for salvation from this world because it is evil and he is good.

the world won't stop sinning, and Jesus died for your sins but that doesn't mean you should abuse what he did for you by deliberately sinning.

What did you not understand about this video ..? If I may ask.

Jesus Christ is God.

Jesus Christ is God.

So what do you believe..?

@@jayrocky9067 I believe Jesus Christ died for my sins and Christian was made because of Jesus not from Jesus. Jesus didn’t create Christianity, Christianity was created because of Jesus.

​@@realdreamz8124the bible says to be a "Christian" is a righteous title, so it's not really good to say you're not a Christian.

Hey, how are you? I am doing lots today but I am getting true biblical answers ready for your three questions which I’ll have ready by the end of the day. I hope I can help, I am quite disappointed by how they went through explaining Christianity. They went through it so carelessly but I’ll get back to you by the end of the day and hopefully I can Make Christianity easy for you to understand, because really, Christianity is very simple.

Sorry, I won’t be giving those answers tonight after all, it’s very late and I just got done with the dishes. I’ll be out on the waters fishing most of tomorrow but if I end up having enough time I’ll try to get it to you tomorrow.

Do you still want the answers to your questions by now? If you say us I’ll give them to you but if you don’t then I won’t.

@@MichaelShrock Hey I want the answers.

@@roshanshrestha3065 ah! I think (if I remember correctly) I got the answers ready a long time ago but then deleted them because the dude wasn’t responding. Give me a lengthy while and I’ll see what I can do. In the meantime, what makes you look into Christianity?

False religions*.
