For me, Christianity began at Antioch when certain congregations began to accept teachings against our forefathers, A"braqham, Isaac, and Israel

Had this first calling of the followers of Jesus Yeshua and the Twelve Apostles never occurred, all would recognize the first Hebrews as our blessed caretakers of the Word utile the first Advent. We would not refer to the Resurrection of our Lord as Easter Sunday, and we would know the will of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit more closely.

Not to worry, that was just a boost toe the apostasy which had already been in progress, and it continues to this day. "This is why we have so many sects and denominations under the heady of Christian.

Again, not to worry, for they came into being with the Advent of our Savior, Jesus Yeshua.

And once more, not to worry, for the time is coming and perhaps already begun when our Father will call His children out of the Great Whore , apostolic denominations, an d the Holy Spirit will teach all. .

This tells me there are believers in all denominations yet to be called out of her.

We are redeemed by faith only, and repentance demands discipline and obedience... However, for those who love TRUTH, obedience to the LAW comes easy. I am not perfect, but I wear Christ's forgiveness like a perfect cloak.

The book of James defines Christianity this way: “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” —James 1:27

I would say this is an excellent illustration of genuine faith in the one true living God, and we call that "religion" for lack of better words... But, the Bible, not even the law of Moses, does not present itself as a religion. The Bible simply presents itself as the infallible and eternal Word of God. :)

I would add in the light of this that "Be ye doers of the Word and not Hearers only applies". " Every man that hears these Words of mine and doeth them ( Rock Foundation which stands ) " Every man which hears these sayings of mine and does not do them ( Sand Foundation which falls greatly) same yesterday , today , and forever. "Obey my Voice"

In the simplest of terms... You can define Christianity as accepting God for all He is and all He's done, and giving credit where credit is due :cool:
 
What is Christianity?
1.They think they are all of the world. The world should revolve around them, otherwise the world is bad.
2.Only white people are the real people of God. Everyone else should go to hell.
3.Only my understanding of the Bible is correct, and others are wrong.
4.I don't have to see a doctor or take medicine at all.

No, These are just some of the shortcomings of Christianity I summarized.

Christianity in western countries did not make a good impression on Chinese atheists,

What about Chinese Christians? Why are the Chinese atheists persecuting them? There are approximately 44 million Christians in China. That is more than the population of Canada (about 37 million). Which means that Chinese Christians are impressing Western atheists and the CCP is running scared.

It's hard to explain something,I try to be right and objective.
First of all, the things that atheists come into contact with from western countries make them unable to feel the love taught by the Bible, the love of God.Of course, atheists do not understand the Bible at all, nor can they understand what God's love is.It's just that western countries are not friendly to China, so they think Christianity only represents the West.
And some atheists are tired of Jews. They think Jews deceive themselves with the Bible.
There are many problems faced by Christian missionaries in China.You can't preach in public, you can't upload your Faith on the Internet, and you can only meet in the church.This is not persecution, it can only be regarded as coercion.

If you don't understand anything, you can continue to ask me

These things are definitely not in keeping with Christianity... Certainly not "Western" Christianity. You are obviously battling with CCP propaganda. That's sad...
