Christianity – Oscar Alvarado 

-The name of the religion is Christianity

-You are called Christian if you follow this religion
-Christianity was founded in early 1st century and is said that Jesus of Nazareth is
the founder
-The place of origin is Judea (modern Israel)
-Here are six easy steps to convert to Christianity
Step 1(all steps were taken from a website will cite)
Understand that God loves you and wants you to have an eternal life after
you experience physical death. This message is found throughout the
Bible, but you can read it briefly in the Bible book of John, chapter 3, verse
16.
Step 2
Realize that every person has done bad things, also known as sin.
Because of these sins, you are separated from God now and will be
forever separated from Him when you die. The Bible book of Romans says
that the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23).
Step 3
Discover that you can be forgiven of your sins because Jesus lived a
perfectly sinless life as a man and died on a cross. Jesus suffered death
so that we can live an eternal life. You can read about Jesus' life and
death in the Bible books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
Step 4
Imagine Jesus standing at your front door and asking to come in. You
don't have to answer the door. He wants to come in but will wait patiently
until you ask Him to come in.
Step 5
Receive Jesus into your life. You don't have to do any special tasks or give
anyone any money to let Him in. God's forgiveness and love are free gifts
to you; this is known as God's grace.
Step 6
Commit to learning more about God. Read your Bible and, if possible, find
a church you feel comfortable attending.

My view for this religion is that it is a really important religion. It is On of the

biggest religions in the world with 2 billion people following it.

I used to be part of the Catholic branch of Christianity and I thought it was a good

religion but the reason I chose to be atheist over Catholic is because I donʼt like
to be forced to believe in something. In Christianity you basically have to believe
what the bible says but, the bible is just a book and I donʼt believe that I should
live my life with what a book says.

The simplest and most common cross is the Latin cross, pictured at left. It may
not have come into use until the 2nd or 3rd century. The empty cross, usually
favored by Protestants, reminds Christians of the resurrection, while the crucifix,
with Jesus on it, favored by Catholic and Orthodox churches, is a reminder of
Christ's sacrifice.
