| | 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. |

| | Ten Commandments - Free Encyclopedia |
| | For many Christians, Sunday is a special day of worship, in observance of the Easter Sunday fulfillment of the new covenant of Jesus. | | | For most Christians, this practice is understood as fulfilling the observance of this commandment, as the images are not being worshipped. | | | These sabattarians claim that the seventh day Sabbath was kept by all Christian groups until the 2nd and 3rd century, by most until the 4th and 5th century, and by many after that but gradually adopted Sunday as the day of worship. |

| | Christianity: False is False |
| | Christianity is idolatry, as it maintains the view that God inseminated a mortal with “Himself” and other nonsense. | | | Christianity is heresy, and could not have been condoned by any wise mind, for any person, including Christians and gentiles, for they too must follow God’s Torah, i.e., “reason”, albeit 7 laws at the minimum. | | | Many Christians also realized the contradictory and nonsensical nature of Christianity, which explains their doctrine of “Blind Faith”. |

| | Christianity is NOT Morality |
| | Most of the New Testament is an exposé of religion; an explanation of the dichotomous difference of Christianity from all religion, especially from the religion of Judaism. | | | It is a subtle form of idolatry to allow the conduct of God to supplant and supersede the character of God; the performance of God to be the basis of the Person of God. | | | Morality precludes the primary assertion of the Christian gospel, that the availability for the expression of God's goodness in man is only by the presence and empowering of the Spirit of Christ in man, received by faith in regeneration and sanctification. |

| | How did Christianity become mixed with polytheistic beliefs? - Q&A Library- Islam Q&A |
| | When Christianity conquered Rome, the new religion (i.e., Christianity) was infused with the blood of the old idolatrous religion: the title of archbishop, worship for the great mother, and an innumerable number of lords who gave peace of mind and were like who exist in all places and cannot be detected with the senses. | | | Christianity developed from Judaism, and Judaism firmly believes that there is one God. | | | Idolatry and polytheism entered Christianity through the influence of the hypocrites who occupied positions of influence and high positions in the Roman state by pretending to be Christians, but they never cared about religion and were not sincere at all. |

| | Albert J. Raboteau: American Salvation |
| | The early Christian apologists stood within culture as they attempted to explain the faith in the philosophical and cultural terms of their times and recognized within the culture foreshadowings or adumbrations of Christian truth waiting to be fulfilled. | | | The antinomy of Christians being in the world but not of the world is for the sake of the transformation of the world and its return as Eucharistic offering to God, the source of all. | | | Christianity, even as the dominant religion, has always had strains that cut against the mainstream, while still being rooted in and influenced by the culture and society of a particular time and place. |

| | "IDOLATRY - Strictly speaking, denotes the worship of deity in a visible form, whether the images to which homage is paid are symbolical representations of the true God or of the false divinities which have been made the objects of worship in his stead. | | | The first undoubted allusion to idolatry or idolatrous customs in the Bible is in the account of Rachel's stealing her father's teraphim. | | | In the days of the early Christian Church the name was given those people who were against the worship of images. |

| | The Christian church and college of Iona, established by Colum Cille, were not in the Roman Catholic tradition. | | | It was Colum Cille who first reintroduced New Testament Christianity to Scotland and England and it was his missionary scribes who meticulously reproduced Psalms, Gospels and other Scripture portions, primarily in Latin, for use in teaching Bible truths and public worship. | | | The first de-Romanized Christianity in human history was the Christianity of the Apostles which is recorded in the New Testament which was spread throughout the known world for the first 150 or so years after the death, resurrection and ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ.) |

| | 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. | | | And notice that all this means that the foundation of belief and all reflection on its origin is likewise excluded as sinful. |

| | All was in there were converted pagans that came over into the Roman Christian church, the early church that Aquila and Priscilla and another couple that had established this church and had nourished it. | | | And then, in studying idolatry the last few weeks: mythology, Greek mythology and Roman mythology, then it brings me back to see whether they kill--still keep that same thing alive, see whether if idolatry remains as it was at the beginning. | | | I forget the name of the god that is the god of the fire-walkers, but it's a huge statue with great, big, something similar to a human face, a kind of a cameo-like face, with huge, big ears to hear all their sins and so forth. |

Christianity is perceived as teaching that Yeshua [Jesus] 'participates' in the divinity which rightfully belongs to God alone (i.e. | | | , in Christian terminology, to God the Father alone) -- a human beign is wrongfully elevated to the position of God and worshipped as such. |

| | For the most part, the possible prohibition on going into a church comes from the Talmud's concern about idolatry (avodah zarah). | | | It is written in Hebrew, and cites some of the responsa above, as well as other rabbinic and halakhic sources on this topic. | | | However, for the past several centuries, most authorities have not considered Christianity to be idolatry - you can find this in the writings of the Meiri, for example, a famous rabbi and halakhic authority in 14th century Provence. |
