 | | Another fundamental component of Christian faith and practice is the Christian community itself—the church. | | | Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection, to which early Christians referred when they spoke about him as the one who had reconciled humanity to God, made the cross the chief focus of Christian faith and devotion and the principal symbol of the saving love of God the Father. | | | The other universally accepted ritual among Christians is the Eucharist, or Lord’s Supper, in which Christians share in bread and wine and, through them, express and acknowledge the reality of the presence of Christ as they commemorate him in the communion of believers with one another. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Christianity |
| | Christianity is the name given to that definite system of religious belief and practice which was taught by Jesus Christ in the country of Palestine, during the reign of the Roman Emperor, Tiberius, and was promulgated, after its Founder's death, for the acceptance of the whole world, by certain chosen men among His followers. | | | It was the transference of Christianity from a Semitic to a Greek soil that explains, according to Dr. Hatch (Hibbert Lectures, 1888), "why an ethical sermon stood in the forefront of the teaching of Jesus, and a metaphysical creed in the forefront of the Christianity of the fourth century". | | | We gather that the Divine founder meant Christianity to be (1) a universal religion, (2) a perfect religion, (3) a visibly organized religion. |

| | CHRISTIANITY [Christianity] religion founded in Palestine by the followers of Jesus. | | | Christianity may be further generally defined in terms of its practice of corporate worship and rites that usually include the use of sacraments and that are usually conducted by trained clergy within organized churches. | | | Christianity is in a direct sense an offshoot of Judaism, because Jesus and his immediate followers were Jews living in Palestine and Jesus was believed by his followers to have fulfilled the Old Testament prophecies of the Messiah. |

| | Christianity |
| | Christianity is a religion based upon the belief that the Bible contains a divine message and that Jesus (who died between 25 and 40 CE) represents a new orientation in the relationship between man and God. | | | It was often in the clash with kings and rulers, as well as with other religions (especially Islam) that many Christians faced persecution, and had to stand up for their beliefs. | | | The many Christian churches in the region have between 14 and 20 million adherents. |

| | Christianity in Turkey - All About Turkey |
| | Gradually, Christianity in Turkey disintegrated, so that when the Islamic Ottomans finally conquered the Byzantine Empire, it was inevitable that what had been a predominantly Christian region would be no more. | | | Christianity was declared as the official religion in 380, during the reign of Theodosius I, and destruction of pagan temples was legalized. | | | Peter settled in Antioch and build the first Christian church carved in a cave. |

| | "Christianity": Fr Alexander Men's lecture on the eve of his assassination |
| | Similarly, in Christianity one finds, as in Islam, absolute devotion to a God who is sovereign ruler of the cosmos and man's destiny, and the notion in Chinese thought that heaven ("T'ien") provides man with a compass in life, even in its details and various traditional nuances. | | | Herein lies the fundamental difference between Christianity and Yoga, which maintains that man can reach God and become part of Him of his own accord, so to speak. | | | Christianity teaches, on the contrary, that while man can perfect himself, it is impossible to reach God as long as He himself does not come to man. |

| | THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION |
| | "Christianity started out in Palestine as a fellowship; it moved to Greece and became 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. | | | Many Christians are aware of their own denomination's current beliefs, but are unfamiliar with the history of those beliefs, or of the teachings of other denominations. | | | "Christianity is not a religion; it is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. |

| | Argument from Insufficient Knowledge of the Bible for the Nonexistence of the God of Christianity (2005) by Horia George Plugaru | | | Given standard criticisms of Christianity and certain plausible interpretations of it, Christianity is filled with ridiculous incongruities and unreasonable beliefs and practices. | | | According to one version of the argument, if the Christian God existed he would ensure that (nearly) all human beings have an excellent knowledge of the Bible before they die. |

| | Christianity was from the beginning, essentially and fundamentally, life's nausea and disgust with life, merely concealed behind, masked by, dressed up as, faith in "another" or "better" life. | | | As things are, however, all your apologies for Christianity have their roots in your lack of Christianity; with your defence plea you inscribe your own bill of indictment. | | | But one should notice that Christianity has thus crossed over into a gentle moralism: it is not so much 'God, freedom and immortality' that have remained, as benevolence and decency of disposition, and the belief that in the whole universe too benevolence and decency of disposition prevail: it is the euthanasia of Christianity. |
