  • Essay / The History and Future of Christianity - 1540

    The History and Future of ChristianityI am originally from Trinidad and Tobago, located in the southern part of the Caribbean. Christianity is a way of life in my home because it is the most popular religion in my country. Christianity was first brought to our country by England, who would colonize our country. At that time, our country was inhabited by native Indian tribes. These were the Caribs and the Arawars. When we were colonies by the English, they killed most of the Indian tribes that lived on the island. Judaism had a great influence on Christianity because most of the teaching of Christianity came from Judaism. Judaism and Christianity have the same thing in common for example, they both believe in a supreme being called GOD and have basically the same teaching about him and his son JESUS. They also believe that God sent him an only son to save the world from sin, his name was JESUS. JESUS ​​was born in Jerusalem in the 4th century BCE, his parents were Mary and Joseph, and he died in the 29th century BCE. Early in Jesus' life, he was called the Messiah. The word “Messiah” means “anointed” and refers to the ceremony of anointing a new king with olive oil. Jesus was known for mercilessly treating people on the streets. After Jesus' death, his disciples wanted to continue his teaching and therefore created the books of Acts. The holy apostle who wrote it was Peter and Paul. They wrote books to spread the word and teaching of God throughout the world. Today, what we know about Jesus and Christianity is found in the New Testaments. The New Testaments, known as the core of Christianity, are used in religious ceremonies around the world. The new testaments are made up of four parts, the Gospel which describes the life and teaching of Jesus, the Acts of the Apostles, the Epistles which the evangelist had made by the disciples of Jesus Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The Act of the Apostles tells of the instantaneous spread of Christianity. The epistles are letters addressed to early Christianity, primarily written by Paul. Back in the 1500s, Christian churches split into different parts because a bishop did not want to follow the same practices as other churches. So they divided and two branches of churches were formed..
