A text about religion that i read tonight was on Christianity. " Christianity started out in Palestine as a fellowship, it moved to Greece to become a philosophy, It moved to Italy and became an institution, It moved to Europe and became a culture, It came to America and became an enterprise", This is a quote by Sam Pascoe. This quote shows that you can really make what you want out of religion as long as it means something to you. Many Christians believe that a christian is a follower of Jesus, but truly there is no wrong or right way to define a christian. There are about 1500 types of Christian faith groups in North America that promote many conflicting and different beliefs. But that doesn't mean there aren't very many similarities between them all. All Christians fallow the teachings of and about Jesus Christ of Nazareth. They also further believe in god who is the second person in the trinity. The trinity within Christianity consists of the father the son and the holy spirit. They are three separate persons who all eternal, who all from a single unified deity. Most Christians believe that Jesus coexisted with god before the creation of earth. Many progressive Christians believe that the the miracles of Jesus such as walking on water, Resurrection, and ascension to heaven are religious myths but i personally think otherwise.
