Christianity is founded on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. Believers in this religion believe that Jesus is the Son of God, who was born without a father in the womb of mother Mary. Believers in this religion are known as Christians, their scripture is called the Bible.
Believers believe that as the Old Testament describes the history of the Jewish nation, it also hints at the coming of Jesus , and that he came to save mankind. He is the Messiah, or Savior.

Principles of Christianity
Catholics believe that the Holy Father, the Holy Son and the Holy Spirit are all three Gods, and Jesus is Jesus. Simply put, God has presented himself to man in three different forms. Judaism and Islam reject the Trinity.
The Trinity and the belief that Jesus died for the sins of mankind are held by a large proportion of Christians to be central to their religion. Like other Abrahamic religions it is also monotheistic . The human Jesus was a Jew by race. He was the King of the Jews and performed many miracles-
- He could raise the dead
- He could heal the sick
- He could control the weather
- People were given food and drink
- He returned three days after his death
According to the New Testament of the Bible , Jesus returned to earth three days after his death on the cross. It is recorded in the Bible that many people saw him at this time. After some time he went back to his father in heaven.
Besides the twelve disciples of Jesus, Saint Paul occupies an important place among the early Christian preachers . He authored several books of the New Testament of the Bible. After the death of Jesus, his disciples spread out in different directions and began to spread the teachings of Jesus among the people.
Who is the founder of Christianity?
Jews, Christians and Muslims differ about Jesus. Although there are different denominations, or churches, of Christianity, the monotheistic religion has Jesus Christ at its center – this is true of all. Jesus' life, teaching, death, resurrection etc. have appeared as the main subject of this religion.
Hence, Jesus can be said to be the originator of this religion. Through his twelve disciples it began to spread throughout the world. At one time those who depended on the Pope of the Vatican were called Popists.
Books of Christianity: There are two parts to the Christian scriptures - the Old Testament and the New Testament. Christians believe they live in the New Testament age, the Old Testament being the word of God and not applicable now. The Old Testament contains the things that other religions usually complain about.
History of Christianity: The beginning of this religion from the first century AD. After a few days after the death of Jesus, his disciples began to spread the gospel by enduring various persecutions and tortures in Rome. Later it was once accepted as the state religion of Rome. It is essentially a religion that is a continuation of Judaism , as is Islam. Because, Jewish history, prophets, books have all been assimilated. At the same time, it is an essential belief of religion.
Spread of Christianity: It was established as the state religion mainly after 313 AD. It continued to flourish from the time of Constantine.Song: Various devotional songs that followers of Christianity love to sing and listen to. These songs are also sung in Bengali language in Bangladesh. One such song-
The name of the scripture is the Bible
The word Bible means book or books, in Arabic it is called Kitabul Muqaddas. Bangladesh Bible Society also used the Arabic name in Bengali, they did not invent new words. It is basically a collection of holy books. Muslims have a misconception that the Gospel in their language is the Bible. Actually this is not true .
Many of the common Muslims believe that Allah sent to Jesus (as) a book like the Qur'an, that is the Bible. In fact, the Christian Bible is not like that.
There are two parts to the original Bible, with different styles. Christians follow the New Testament of the Bible. Two parts of the Bible-
- Old Testament
- The New Testament
What does the Old Testament mean?
- The first five books are called the Torah
- The second book of history describes the history of the nation of Israel
- The third is a book of poetic wisdom about good and evil
- The fourth is about the prophets of the Bible
New Testament
The New Testament is the second part of the Christian Bible. It is essentially a collection of books dealing with the teachings, life and early Christianity of Jesus. There are total 27 books in this collection. They were written by Jesus' followers and disciples. Jesus' own words can also be found here. The Bible with only Jesus' own words is called the Red Letter Bible.
As I was saying, the 27 books of the New Testament are-
- 4 Canonical Gospels
- 1 containing the conduct of disciples
- 14 books of Paul (Saint Paul).
- 7 Catholic Epistles
- 1 Aptavakya or, Book of Divination

- Psalm is the longest chapter in the Bible (third in the Hebrew Bible). This is what Muslims call the Book of Jabur, because it is the book of Dawood (A.S.).
- The oldest copies of the Bible can be found in the Vatican Library
- The name Jesus has two Hebrew pronunciations - Yesus and Yeshua. Jesus' language was Aramaic (from which Hebrew and Arabic are derived).
- The Book of Obadiah is the shortest book
The Bible is the most translated book in the world. It has been translated into 3312 languages (at least one book).
Evangel:
Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day's own trouble be sufficient for the day.
Baptism in Christianity
Baptism is a process of incorporation into Christianity. It is through faith and acceptance that the baptized person is a follower of Jesus. Christ's death by crucifixion and resurrection three days later are symbolically accepted.
It is publicly stated that:
"Go into the world. Go everywhere and announce the message of God's good news to one and all. Whoever believes and is baptized is saved; whoever refuses to believe is damned.” Mark 16:16 MSG
John the Baptist
John came to earth before Jesus was born. He is an important figure in Christianity, having a gospel in the New Testament of the Bible. His father's name was Zechariah and his mother's name was Elizabeth.
Elizabeth gave birth to a son in her old age and named him John which means "God is loving" . He was called by this name because John baptized his followers. He prepared the ground for Jesus' coming.
Differences between Judaism and Christianity
Both these religions are Abrahamic religions. The founder of Christianity, Jesus Christ himself (according to Jesus' mother Mary) was a Jew by race. Both are monotheistic religions and Jerusalem is a holy place for both religions . Through this article I will show you the difference between these two religions-
Judaism | Christianity |
Monotheism : The Creator is considered to be one | Trinitarianism : Three forms of the One Creator are thought of. |
| Messiah means a righteous king | The Messiah refers to the One who is sacrificed for the sins of all, God. |
| There are no past sins, the reckoning of all sins begins at the beginning. | The reckoning of man's sin begins at the time of Adam and Eve |
| The Torah is written and oral | The Torah exists only in written form |
| The Ten Commandments of Moses are heavenly, must be obeyed | We are under no obligation to obey Moses |
| All good people will go to heaven | Only Christians will go |
| The Jews are God's chosen nation | The Jewish nation in isolation is of no importance |

Besides, the New Testament of the Bible is of no importance to the Jews, according to the Jews, Jesus was nothing but an ordinary Jewish rabbi, and they do not believe in the miracle of the birth . The Creator is called Yahweh by both religions.
There are many other differences, including kosher food, Hanakah, and worship. If you notice more differences, comment in the comment box below.
David Abraham says about the Jewish faith-
“Deny the Trinity; there is only one God; Jesus is not the Son of God or the Messiah; the Holy Spirit is not a person”
What is called BC?
BC or BC means Before Christ ie before the birth of Christ. And, AD means AD or, Anno Domini or, Year of the lord. Here Jesus is accepted as the creator. For this reason, Jews and Muslims use BCE and CE instead of BC and AD. BCE stands for Before Common Era and CE stands for Common Era. Since there is no Lord in Bengali, we use AD and AD, BC.
Is Jesus Christ the prophet?
Yes, Jesus Christ is Jesus the Prophet. Jesus' language was Aramaic, and from Aramaic came Hebrew and Arabic. Jesus' name in Hebrew is Yeshua or Yeshua. Jesus came from Jesus to Jesus from Jesus to Bengal. And, Christ means the anointed one or the Messiah. No one disagrees that Prophet Jesus and Jesus Christ are the same person.
Last word: Christianity, or whatever the Christian religion is called, is the most popular religion in the world. Jesus is an important figure in Islam, a famous prophet.
