The founder of Christianity is unknown. The religion is not really defined by any beginning dates, but it does still exist in the world today. The total amount of followers in this religion is around 1.7 billion people. Around 4 BC a child was born to the Virgin Mary and Joseph. An angle told Mary to name the child “Jesus”. Though Mary was a virgin, the angle told her that God was the child's father. Mary gave birth to Jesus in a place where the cattle stayed. There was no room for the travelers to rest in the inn. Jesus was said to be the perfect person, committing no sin against his father in heaven. The main practice of the religion is to try to be like Jesus and commit as little sin as possible. When Jesus was 32 years old, the Romans crucified him, which fulfilled many prophets' “ visions” made hundreRAB of years before. In Christianity's holy book, the Bible, it is said that Jesus will come back and save all of his followers and defeat Satan, or the devil. This will be known as the second coming, or the rapture. The Bible is Christianity's holy book. This book is divided up into two parts, the Old Testament and the New Testament. The New Testament was written about and after the birth of Jesus Christ. The two sections are divided up into 66 separate books in all. The most famous books are the Gospels, which are the first four books in the New Testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Other famous books in the Bible are Genesis, Exodus, Acts, and Revelation. Revelation is the last book in the Bible and tells about what will happen in the second coming. The Bible was said to be written by God through many of his followers. The main followers of Jesus were his 12 Deciples. The rituals of Christianity are strict, but lenient. The beliefs of Christianity are that God created the Earth and the God sent his son to die on the cross for their sins. To become “saved” you must confess all of your sins to God and tell him you believe that he has taken the “blame” for your sins. You do this through prayer, which Christians are supposed to do frequently. There is no set amount of times you should pray in one day. Another belief is that Christians should follow the 10 commandments to the best of their ability. The 10 Commandments appear in the book of Exodus and are as follows: -Shall have no other goRAB except for me -Shall not make yourself and idol form -Shall not take the Lord's name in vain -Remeraber the Sabbath (You shall not work on Sunday) -Honor your father and mother -Shall not murder -Shall not commit adultery -Shall not steal -Shall not give false testimony -Shall not covet other people's possessions If you break any of these laws, the Bible says you should ask God for forgiveness and it will be done. There is no major Geographical location of Christianity today due to the spread of it all over the world. It was started in Asia. Jesus grew up in Jerusalem and taught of his fathers teachings. Jerusalem is seen as Christianity's “holy city”. Now Christianity lives in more than 1.7 billion people all over the world. Many Christians now days regularly attend church on Sunday morning. Christianity just seems to keep growing and growing.
