In addition most Christians are:'''wear nice hats.

* The [[Roman Catholic Church]] (approx. 1.1 billion baptized members) traces its roots back to [[Saint Peter]] whom Catholics believe was appointed as Christianity is ruled by the first leader of the church by [[Jesus ChristPope]] and the succession of , although many Christians think he is an [[Popeasshole]]s as the spiritual leaders of Christendom.

* The ==History of Christianity==Christians first came to public attention when the [[Orthodox ChurchRomans]]es (approx. 300 million baptized members) trace discovered that feeding them to their roots back to lions provided not only great entertainment for the Apostlescrowds, and are organized but also vital nutritional sustenance for the lions. Lions in Autocephalous national or regional churches in communion with each otherthe wild often suffer from a lack of Vitamin ''C'' (short for Christians). Differing theological perspectives led Christians contain essential vitamins and nutrients that help lions to maintain a proper diet and remain at the [[Great Schism]] between top of the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Churches in Afood chain.D. 1054. * [[Protestantism]]: the largest Communions are the [[Anglican Church|Anglicans]] Vitamin C (approx. 115 million baptized membersderived from Christians) and the [[Lutheran]] World Federation should not be confused with Vitamin A (approx. 68 million baptized membersderived from Atheists). Protestantism has its origins in the European [[Reformation]]. The Protestant movement broke from the Roman Catholic Church under [[Martin Luther]] when differences over the nature of [[faith]] and works in the role of [[Christianity#salvation|salvation]]Contrary to popular belief, as well as other practices of there is no evidence that lions who ingest Atheists are better able to see the Catholic Church that Luther saw as unBiblical, were raisedtruth."Finnah mess you up" (Leviticus 69:0.33)

== Christian Beliefs ==Christian beliefs [[Christian apologetics|are well supported via It is said that if Christians ever evolve in a large body of compelling evidence]]way that diminishes their Vitamin C content, then the lions will be forced onto the endangered species list. TheologiansHowever, over two millennia, have debated Christians can only evolve by eating fruit from a definitive summary of the Christian faithtree in a Lost Garden. While its interpretations vary drasticallyAccording to a magical talking snake, probably the most commonly accepted statement this fruit contains knowledge. The leader of the faith is Christian insurgency, God, strictly prohibits eating this fruit, as it would allow Christians to climb the [[Nicene Creed|Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed]]evolutionary ladder.

The worship of God's estranged hippie son Jesus is common among Christians and Christian denominations agree on many points of doctrine while disagreeing on somethey often follow in herds. According to an online Harris poll from 2003Although Jesus did not invent the famed leaflets, 99% of all American Christians believe in [[God]], 96% he helped in the [[resurrection construction of Jesus Christ]], 93% in [[Heaven]], 93% in a popular hat/crown. This behavior is not unlike the virgin birthso called "rack of lamb, 92% in the survival of god" who was born to a woman named the soul after death, 82% in [[HellVirgin Mary]], 50% in ghosts, 27% in astrology and 21% in reincarnation.<ref>http://www.harrisinteractive.com/harris_poll/index.asp?PID=359</ref> Note that the latter two beliefs are in opposition to the religious tenets who claimed her son was born after she "didn't have sex with a bottle of most Christian denominations.tomato juice"

Nonetheless, the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed offers a general overall picture of what Christian theology looks like, and serves as a useful outline and historic standard== The Bible ==[[Image:Robertson Strains To Fart For Jesus. Other creeds may prove helpful in research. See the jpg|thumb|right|250px|[[ApostlesPat Robertson]], host of television' Creeds '''The Lions Club''', witnessess the power of the Lord.]] and {{main|Bible}}The Christian Bible is a rewritten version of the Jewish Torah, via the Egyptians who copied theirs from the Babylonian, who copied the Athanasian CreedIndians.

===God==={{main|God}}God It is a triune beingTHE story. Though there is only one Divine nature there are three Divine Personages: The Father, great story told all over the Sonworld, and the Holy Spiritit has been told more times than all other stories. The three Persons are collectively called It is the story of [[TrinityGod]] or and [[Good]] vs [[Evil]] and the Holy Trinity[[Devil]]. While Opinions differ between Atheists and Christians as to whether the story is about 2 people (where God = Good, and Devil = Evil) or 4 people (where God is tripartiteseparate from Good, this does not imply and the Devil is separate from Evil). So a compromise was made, and it was decided that Christians are polytheiststhe story was about 3 people. The doctrine Thus the Doctrine of the Trinity is central to Christian theology, although several denominations that usually are considered Christian are non-Trinitarianwas created. The God use of the Christian is the creator of all things, is everywhere present, exists Trinity remains popular with movie makers in all timessuch classics as [[The Matrix]], is transcendent, all-knowing (omniscient), just[[Star Wars]], [[Lord of the Rings]] and all-powerful (omnipotent)[[Watership Down]].

A major theme of the Bible is [[love]]. In the Hebrew The ''[[Old Testament]] the idea is expressed in the Hebrew word ''hessedor '', which is variously translated as loyal love, tender mercy, steadfast love, mercy, goodness, etc. in the [[New TestamentTorah]] '' was mostly copied from the same idea is expressed Iraqis by an Egyptian named Aken Atan in the Greek word ''agape''an effort to convince everyone to worship him and not a load stone penises. He was also trying to help his brother Moses get laid, which translates to lovefailed, compassion so Moses cut the end off his [[penis]] and charityleft for the promised land.

===Jesus===Everything was going fine for the Romans until someone ([[Imagehttp:Jesus' Baptism//www.jpg|180px|left]]During the reign of [[Augustus Caesar|Caesar Augustus]] the Son (iyoutube.e. the second Person of the Trinity) took flesh from a virgin woman and was incarnated as a man. He was born in the town of [[Bethlehemcom/watch?v=qgodwiVtAHo possibly]] and was given the name [[Jesus]]) suggested that maybe everyone should stop fucking everyone over so much. At approximately the age of thirty he (This was baptised by his cousin [[John the Baptist]] and began to preach in the area of [[Judea]] and [[Galilee]]. About three years later, his teachings and works of mercy prompted the Jewish authorities to plot Jesus' death. Jesus disastrous for Rome because its economy was [[crucified]]based on fucking everyone over. He rose from ) As the dead Romans gradually all became Christian pussies and was seen by over 500 people. He ascended started acting all Christian, Rome gradually began to Heaven. The four [[Gospels]] contain the basic account of what Jesus did and saidcollapse.

A few years after Jesus summarized his moral teachings in two commandments was either walked upon England's mountains green, or did not, everyone agreed that ''something'' had happened to Rome. Although Jesus-haters claimed he just nicked it all from Buddha, his ideas of not fucking over thy fellow man were catching on and no one could deny it. Controlling God's Word and knowledge has always been pretty handy, so there have always been lots of different versions of the Old Testament:story floating about. Some containing wisdom, usually containing bullshit.

"'You shall love the Lord your God The Roman emperors were willing to put up with all your heartpeople worshiping fish, and with all your soulowls, and with all your mindor volcanoes so long as the Emperor was still the boss, but when things got so bad that Roman soldiers started cutting off their own balls for religious reasons something had to be done.' This is What was left of the great Roman Empire had a vote around AD 340 and foremost commandment. The second is like it, decided that Jesus 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments depend was'' a [[Superman|supernatural]] being after all. They buried the whole Law stories which said otherwise, and hid most of the Prophets"stone penises. (So that they could fuck things up thousands of years later, they merged the mythologies of loads of old religions into their new Christianity. That way one day they could claim there is no such thing as [[Gospel of MatthewGod|Matthewgood]] 22:37-39; because someone made up a [[Book of DeuteronomyDa Vinci Code (ambiguation)|Deuteronomystory]] 6:5; Leviticus 19:18)once.

===Morality===The fundamental principle in Christian moral teaching is [[love]] and forgivenessWhen Rome finally ran out of people willing to kill for them, as expressed by they moved the life Roman Empire to the Vatican and teachings of Jesus Christ and the New Testament. In the Hebrew [[Old Testament]] the idea is expressed hid in the Hebrew word ''hessed'', which is variously translated as loyal love, tender mercy, steadfast love, mercy, goodness, etca church. in the The Bible was printed for distribution on a massive scale at [[New TestamentWalmart]] the same idea is expressed in the Greek word ''agape'', which is variously translated as to help spread peace and love, compassion, charity, etcon earth.

There has been endless debate over how a person should express love ==Christian ties to the Sith==[[Image:Pits4thelord.jpg|thumb|right|250px|A hot Christian dude from Texas bares his pits of musky power for God the Lord in his or her moral behaviorall-American athleticism. This moral dialogue found expression in the New Testament]]Indigenous Christians have only three sources of knowledge: The Bible, where the [[Apostle PaulFox News]] addressed such controversies as , and Emperor Palpatine.Many Humans today have evolved enough to not believe in Christianity. Still Logic is not part of Christian DNA. It is believed that molecules of the force influenced primitive Christians to believe in concepts now disproved by the Jedi Council, the US [[circumcisionSupreme Court]] ([[Epistle to and the Romans|Romans]] 2:25-29), eating meat that was sacrificed to [[paganEven Supremer Court]] deities (1 Corinthians 8), speculating about myths and genealogies (1 Timothy 1:3-5), and observing ceremonial dates and seasons (Galatians 4:9-11)the United Nations.

Regardless The leader of a person's ethical interpretationsthe Christians [[Pope Benedict XVI]]A.K.A Pope Bendydick controls all Catholics (Most normal Christians find him kinda wack-o) from his base, adherents commonly point to New Testament passages John 3:16 and 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 as scriptural depictions of love. The former states that <blockquote>"God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life"[[Vatican City]].</blockquote> The latter characterizes love, saying <blockquote>"Love Pope is patientinfallible, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a or he can't be wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things".</blockquote>

Jesus Christ affirmed, "By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another"He has used his position of power to help contribute to [[Republican]] rule through force. (John 13:35) In trying to understand This is mostly seen through the reason for the growth of Christianity in a pagan cultureUS Military Stormtroopers, it has been noted that while love of oneThe Lord's neighbor is not an exclusively Christian virtue, it appears that Resistance Army of the primitive Christian church practiced it much more effectively than any other group[[Galactic Empire]] of Africa.<ref>E.R.

==Practices ==The bible supports numerous peaceful and god- Jesus having the knowledge that His path would lead to his own death, desired and willed that that take place, and persevered in that path though there was opportunity for Him to avoid it. "I have power to take my life and I have power to lay down my life. I lay down my life for the sheep".worshiping practices such as:

- Jesus saw that in His death there would be a way for people '''Incest'''{{Q|A father may stick his finger into his daughter to be brought back to the God from whom they were alienated and lost because of their sins. This would involve help prove she is a substitution of Himself to effectvirgin, irepeatedly.e. atone for, that development. "For the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve and give His life as a ransom for many". How this would take place was not new to the Jews of His day from their understanding of contemporary everyday practice of substitute payment |Deuteronomy 22:13- as in redemption of the first-born (Pidyon Ha Ben), or in the understanding of what aggadic stories such as the Binding of [[Isaac]] implied (see [[Midrash]]), but it was not the prevalent view that the Messiah was to be that payment. Though while alive on earth, he had hinted at it in sayings such as "unless a seed falls and dies, it remains alone, but when it dies, it brings forth."; it was only after He had risen from the dead that He explained Scripture (the Old Testament) clearly about the necessity of His death to have taken place. The disciples would henceforth preach, and Peter among them, that the death of Jesus the Messiah and His resurrection was for-planned and for-ordained by God the Father, and foretold in the Scripture (Isaiah 53). 18}}

- Christians of '''Sexism'''{{Q|Let a woman learn in silence with all generations have looked submissiveness. I permit no woman to the perfect Atonement, and the hope for reconciliation, accomplished by Jesus on the cross, teach or to provide the means of understanding the solution have authority over men; she is to the vexing problems of the mind and of life itselfkeep silent.|1 Tim 2|The Bible}}

===Salvation===The Bible teaches that "all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God". (Romans 3:23) This is often interpreted '''Not listening to mean that everyone has displeased God and is now separated from him in a kind of alienation and enmity that results from the fundamental conflict between selfish human interests and Godrock music''s interests (Romans 8:5-8; James 4:4). Jesus offered a solution '{{Q|Thou shalt not listen to this Biblical dilemma in any music that, by repentance of sins and faith in him (Jesus), their sins would be forgiven. He said that "...contains an electric guitar or contains the Son use of man hath power on earth to forgive sins". ([[Gospel of Mark|Mark]] 2:10) Jesus also said, "I came information not to call presented through the righteous, but sinners to repentance"bible. (Mark 2|Your Parents:17).24-7|The Bible}}

Jesus Christ taught that "unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God". ([[Gospel of John|John]] 3:3) Protestant Evangelical Christianity often uses the terms "saved" and "born again" to mean conversion, while other Christians, such as the Roman Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church, use the phrase ''born again'Why Convert?' as a synonym for [[baptism''{{Q|Convert or we will kill you|baptized]]. The Bible}}

Christians are expected to continue living by Christ's teachings (John 8:31), as is appropriate for "children of Light". (Ephesians 5:8-10) Some believe that this is necessary in order to be saved. Others say that this is a common misconception of the text, that it refers instead to the "fruits" of saving faith. Still others say that the free, unmerited gift of salvation from sin and death in hell must be maintained or retained by actively producing the fruits of [[corporal and spiritual works of mercy]] according to ability, or it will be lost (Ephesians 2:8-10; Hebrews 6:4-8), unless before death the fallen away believer repents and returns (James 5:19-20; 1 John 5:16-17). Christians in the [[Reformed]] tradition (following the teaching of the 16th century French lawyer and theologian [[John Calvin]]) say that salvation cannot be lost. One Bible passage often cited is John 10:28-29 in which Jesus said of his own Apostles that they could ''Don't kill people'''{{Q|Thou shalt not be snatched from his hand.kill|The Bible}}

== Resurrection of Jesus Christ =='''Slavery'''[[Image:Jesus resurrected{{Q|Yes.jpg|thumbLeviticus 25:44|left|200px|"The Resurrection" by Carl Heinrich Bloch]]The [[resurrection of Jesus Christ]] is critical to the Christian faith. The Apostle Paul wrote, "if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain" (I Cor:15:14).

In the community: "...they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. {43} And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. {44} And all that believed were together, and had all things common; {45} And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. {46} And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved." "And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common."a dog named Jesus (Acts 2:42pronounced Hey-47; 4:32Zeus)  This community was soon "scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles," due to determined persecution which resulted in the dispersed disciples going "every where preaching the word." (Acts 8:1,4) Christian communities were primarily to be found in two separate cultural and liguistic entities—the Greek and Latin-speaking empires of Europe and Locals had so much trouble pronouncing the mid-east, and the Aramaic speaking sphere of the Parthian empire of the mid-east and far-east. This latter sphere encompassed not only the eastern portions of Syria, the Arabian peninsula, and Persia, but also extended to portions of southern India and even China. To this day there are many [[Aramaic Church]] members in the Kerala province of south India. ==Early Church Community and Commitment: the Post-Biblical Period== [[Image:Orthodox churches icon artwork.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Orthodox Churchdog's icon artwork.]]'''Justin martyr 100 A.D. - 165 A.D. From the "First Apology" (Defense)'''  <blockquote>But we, after we have thus washed him who has been convinced and has assented to our teaching, bring him to the place where those who are called brethren are assembled, in order name correctly that we may offer hearty prayers in common for ourselves and for the baptized [illuminated] person, and for all others in every place, that we may be counted worthy, now that we have learned the truth, by our works also they would often bear wittiness to be found good citizens and keepers of the commandments, so that we may be saved with an everlasting salvation. Having ended the prayers, we salute one another with a kiss. There is then brought to the president of the brethren bread and a cup of wine mixed with water; and he taking them, gives praise and glory to the Father of the universe, through Priests yelling the name of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, and offers thanks at considerable length for our being counted worthy to receive these things at His hands. And when he has concluded the prayers and thanksgivings, all the people present express their assent by saying Amen. This word Amen answers in the Hebrew language to genoito [so be it]. And when the president has given thanks, and all the people have expressed their assent, those who are called by us deacons give to each of those present to partake of the bread and wine mixed with water over which the thanksgiving was pronounced, and to those who are absent they carry away a portion. (Chapt. LXV - administration of the sacraments)</blockquote>  <blockquote>And this food is called among us Eukaristia [the Eucharist = the Thanksgiving], of which no one is allowed to partake but the man who believes that the things which we teach are true, and who has been washed with the washing that is for the remission of sins, and unto regeneration, and who is so living as Christ has enjoined. For not as common bread and common drink do we receive these; but in like manner as Jesus Christ our Saviour, having been made flesh by the Word of God, had both flesh and blood for our salvation, so likewise have we been taught that the food which is blessed by the prayer of His word, and from which our blood and flesh by transmutation are nourished, is the flesh and blood of that Jesus who was made flesh. For the apostles, in the memoirs composed by them, which are called Gospels, have thus delivered unto us what was enjoined upon them; that Jesus took bread, and when He had given thanks, said, "This do ye in remembrance of Me, this is My body;JESUS" and that, after the same manner, having taken the cup and given thanks, He said, "This is My blood;" and gave it to at them alone... (Chapt. LXVl - of the Eucharist)</blockquote>  <blockquote>And we afterwards continually remind each other of these things. And the wealthy among us help the needy; and we always keep together; and for all things wherewith we are supplied, we bless the Maker of all through His Son Today yelling Jesus Christ, and through the Holy Ghost. And on the day called Sunday, all who live in cities or in the country gather together to one place, and the memoirs of the apostles or the writings of the prophets are read, as long as time permits; then, when the reader has ceased, the president verbally instructs, and exhorts to the imitation of these good things. Then we all rise together and pray, and, as we before said, when our prayer is ended, bread and wine and water are brought, and the president in like manner offers prayers and thanksgivings, according to his ability, and the people assent, saying Amen; and there is widely consider a distribution proper way to each, and a participation respond to claims of that over which thanks have been given, and to those who are absent a portion is sent by the deaconsChurch. And they who are well to do, and willing, give what each thinks fit; and what is collected is deposited with the president, who succours the orphans and widows and those who, through sickness or any other cause, Because contradictions are alright in wantChristianity, and those who are in bonds and the strangers sojourning among us, and in a word takes care of all who are in need.

AD 197: '''  :We are a body knit together by one faith, one discipline and one hope. We meet together as a congregation, uniting together to offer prayer to God. We pray for the emperors and all in authority, for the welfare part of the world, for peace and for the delay of the final end.
