Christianity

Christianity is a major Abrahamic religion. Despite having three major predominant denominations ( Catholicism, Orthodoxy, Protestantism), they all agree on the following:

God is Trinitarian, consisting of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit
God is the creator of all things, spitirual and physical
Humanity's sin permanently separated it from God, and can't bridge the gap by their own efforts
God came to Earth in the person of Jesus Christ, who is both fully God and fully man
Jesus Christ was conceived of the Virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, and died as a sacrifice to cover humanity's sin
Jesus rose from the dead and ascended into Heaven, affirming His authority to forgive humanity's sin and grant all who believe in Him eternal life
The Holy Bible is the inspired word of God
All believers have the Holy Spirit living within them, giving them the will to live as Jesus had
Jesus will one day return to defeat sin forever and reunite Heaven and Earth

Although the religion was illegal under Roman rule, the Disciples of Jesus became Apostles and evangelists after the Ascension of Jesus Christ and spread the Christian faith to all corners of the empire where it remained an underground religion until Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity and started the process of Christianization within the Roman Empire.

Council of Chalcedon[edit | edit source]

In the council of Chalcedon (451) the heads of the churches around the old world came together to discuss various topics related to spreading the Word and theological concepts.

Great Schism[edit | edit source]

Over time the bishop of Rome claimed to be the head of all Churches due to a link with St Peter and as such Papacy born. In 1054 the Church of the West and the Church of the East separated.

Enemies[edit | edit source]

Polytheism - ³You shall have no other gods before me.
Other Religions - ⁶Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Hedonism - ¹⁴The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature.
Satanism - ⁸Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
Flat Earth Theory - ²² He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in.
