Christianity: Some Real Truths

By Eddy Bown


Christianity. It is the religion that follows not just God, but also Jesus Christ and his teachings. Most people would commonly associate it with Catholicism and other religions revolving around God, but it's not always the case. In many ways, Christianity is different. That's why you have to know how to understand Christianity so you won't be confused or baffled on what it is in the world of religion. As mentioned previously, Christianity is a religion in which it doesn't just believe in God, but also in Jesus Christ along with his writings and teachings. It is almost like Catholicism, but its main focus is Jesus Christ.

Everything about Christianity revolves around Christ; from his birth to his death, from his miracles to his powers and so on and so forth. They have established something known as "Creeds" which are doctrinal confessions and main writings followed by Christians. The creed most followed in the present is the Apostle's Creed which is also used by Catholics. It establishes everything about Jesus such as "being conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary".

False prophets are known to be just like people. They're the regular type you see on the streets. But to distinguish a false prophet from others, you have to look at their personalities. False prophets don't usually follow the principles of God. They'd take bits of those principles and make their own doctrine. This is almost similar to how Antichrists function. False prophets use this supposed gift to have their own gains. They are not there for the people. They are just there to get whatever they want in the most deceptive manner. They'll fool even the most innocent for their personal gain.

Other religions have their own false prophets too like in Islam. A prophet is a false prophet if he comes after Muhammad because it has already been established Muhammad is the true and final prophet. In Judaism, someone is considered a false prophet if he makes too-good-to-be-true prophecies and turn you away from your faith with God and therefore must be punished to death for such rebellion.

So in a way, Christianity is quite different from other religions in the branch of Catholicism. As it stands, Christianity has a very big focus on everything about Jesus. It can be a bit hard to understand everything about it but if you take the time to listen and read, you'll see that Christianity and Catholic and all other religious branches are not that far from each other. They all still see God as a central part of their faith. So whatever religion you belong to, keep to your beliefs but show respect for others.
