Human kind has always wondered how they came to be. Some think of the Big Bang Theory others think God created them and a few believe they were created by a Roman God called Prometheus. How were we created? So many people have come up with 100’s of ideas the main seven are Animism,Hinduism,Buddhism,Confucianism,Deism,Judaism,Christianity. Which one is right? Millions of people have asked this question.What is the truthful religion. The biggest religion is Christianity 8:10 of America say they are christian. Their main difference from Judaism is that Jesus is the son of God. Some of his teachings were God came before anything else. He also believed in the 10 commandments. Also that love is all powerful.Some other teachings of Christ were that you were to love your neighbors,yourself,and your enemies. All of his life he was attracting huge crowds of people just to listen to what he said.He had 12 followers or apostles.Then after the Jews and Romans felt threatened by him so they sentenced him to death.He was crucified by the Romans.After his death they wrote a about his life called the Gospels.His death did not weaken their believing that he was the son of god but made them believe even more. The impact that Christians have made is incredible they have caused millenniums old stories like cupid the handsome young god of love into a chubby little baby.Also now in the pledge of allegiance they say under god which was influenced by Christianity. Judaism is another religion which was before Christianity. Actually it is Christianity but in Judaism Jesus was just a holy figure not the son of god. The followers of Judaism are called Hebrews they originally were nomadic people from Mesopotamia.Abraham was the founder.He was but a Shepard tending to his sheep when an angel called Gabrielle who was sent by god to give Abraham a message saying his people were living the wrong way they should live the way god wants them to live.Abraham was told this around 2000BC.God influenced them to move to Palestine or the Middle East. Hebrews are monotheistic which means they believe in only one god. Their teachings are all in the Torah.They also believe in The Ten Commandments which were brought down by Moses from the mountains where god spoke to him and told him the rules of how to live. They lived around 135AD and then they were expelled from Jerusalem.They spread all over and this was called the Diaspora. These were only two of the main seven. Both of them were almost exactly alike except for when Jesus came into the picture.The Christians believed he was the Messiah and they went to worship him and listen to his teachings while the Jews believed he was just a holy figure and they went on unchanging for 100’s of years.They are still going but Christianity has passed them in popularity.
