Well christianity has always had a history of violence - actually more so than any other religion = even now Bush laid waste to hundreds of thousands of people in Afghanistan and Iraq cause "God told him to"  no other religion can give you such a track record.

yes, historical documents show that many have seen Jesus. the Bible gives reference to this as well as a historian named Josephus, who wasn't a Christian but just wrote what he himself witnessed during the time of Christ.

3rd or 4th-century document called "The Gospel of Judas" was launched upon an unsuspecting world yesterday by no less a biblical authority than the National Geographic magazine in Washington. Its contents were "explosive", according to Mario Roberty, president of the Swiss foundation which now owns the ancient papyrus manuscript. \n\nSo as the heat faded from the television lights at the press conference, has 2000 years of orthodox Christianity been overturned? Well, not quite. But it was all jolly interesting, for those who love that sort of thing.\n\nHalf of the 62-page codex, written in Coptic script, is devoted to an account of the final days of Jesus Christ written from the viewpoint of the man who has for two millennia been excoriated as Christ's deadly betrayer. The text begins: "The secret account of the revelation that Jesus spoke in conversation with Judas Iscariot three days before he celebrated Passover..."

Hello, my friend. This book--"Mere Christianity"--and especially this bit about Christ's being either a lunatic or else the Son of God, was instrumental in my opening up to Jesus, simply on account of the fact that I had, for years, "respected" Jesus of Nazareth as a great teacher, ever ignoring the (what I then thought to be) creepier things he was quoted as saying in the Gospels (such as "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Light")...and Lewis, with this very simple and basic observation, blew my cozy little respect for Jesus of Nazareth out of the water.\n\nWhich did something to a door. Meaning, I then had to face the very choice that Lewis proposed in this book. In other words, I was either going to have to open the door all the way (and believe Christ was who he said he is) or else close it (and believe Jesus of Nazareth to be deranged and blasphemous).\n\nUltimately, I would say that I chose to believe that Christ is God's Son, but truly God gave me the knowledge that Christ is his Son (John 6:44)...and perhaps he gave me the gift of faith for the sole reason that I was seeking it.

I have known this for a long time, before the Da Vinci Code, because I did some research on Christianity a while back. There is whole lot of things that Christians don't know about their religion, like the fact that proven segments of the Bible are locked away in Vatican City, also there are other segments that provide a completely different view of Jesus, and if these views were held today they would put an end to things like, the requirement of church, the requirement of baptism, the acceptance of Jesus as god, and yet they were thought to be part of the Bible. Also you must remember that the Bible has been translated many times and mis translation from ancient languages into old english is very problematic, especially when it's done by scribes in a medival kings court. You must take everything in the Bible with a grain of salt, the stories in it are probably as they were in the original language, but they are not word for word, and also remember that parts of the Bible are missing, do research on it before you decide what is true.

Christianity is a religion.  What you listed are denominations within "Christianity".

If you asked the same question of a Christian he would still have to refer you the the New Testament to read about the teachings of Jesus for yourself to find out about Christianity.\nI have said many times what the basic belief is on this forum but I will say it again:\nScientology belives than each man is his own immortal soul.That he does not Have a soul but IS a soul.\n\nJust out of curiosity how many Scientologists have you actually asked?

Not laughing here.  Even Christians don't always understand Revelations and the signs.  I think the big thing is, our human mind just can't comprehend what the Bible says on the subject.  Most don't want to believe it's happening or are too wrapped up in themselves to care.

Regardless of what has been found. You are always going to find someone trying to portray Christianity as fake or not real. Or in that fact people claiming that Christ is not the Savior for man kind. The only way to find out is see for your self. Open up the bible and read scripture. Or find someone to help you study the bible. The truth is there it is just up to you to search it out.\n\nGod Bless

If there was any truth behind Christianity (or any other religion for that matter) then it would be reasonable to assume that we would all be able to discern it, so we would all have the same beliefs.  Since there are in fact hundreds or thousands of different beliefs, there's no reason to suppose there is any underlying truth in any of it, including 'Jesus'.  So, the answer is 'No'.

I've attached a link as a source to help you begin your search but I think it's going to be like looking for needle in a haystack.  I can tell you (as can anyone else) that Jesus Christ began Christianity but as far as who began all the differences (Catholic vs. Protestant vs. Baptist, etc), I have no clue.  It's just different interpretations of the Bible.

Could be, rabbit.  There have been so many ancient writtings kept from the spot light of Christianity, I guess anything is possible. \n\nEver see more people more confused about one book?\n\nHey, ask'em "if they believe the dead will rise up in the rapture or is there immediate life after death."  They'll pull their hair out trying to figure out what to think.  hehehehehehe!

Any religion based on Christs teachings is considered Christianity.

Just my opinion ... At about the same time Constantine was grooming Christianity as the new state religion his mother found LOTS of things (sacred artifacts and relics) pertaining to the new faith, including but not limited to just the cross. Bluntly ... That seems very convenient to me. So ... No, I don't think so. Either history got re-written or someone played a good scam.
