Giving an introduction of Jesus Christ, throw light on the Christian religion’s philosophy

Christianity was founded by Jesus Christ, who was born in Palestine at Bethlehem. His father Yusuf and mother Mariam were carpenters. However, he was determined to make the society free from superstitious beliefs. He preached that God looks down on everyone with the same eyes and that everyone is equal before God.
His views were vehemently opposed by the Jews as he was against the violent acts of Jews in Jerusalem. He was arrested through betrayal by one of his own disciples called Judas. He was ordained punishment by crucifixion at the age of 30. He, however, proclaimed, “O God forgive them because they do not know what they are doing.”

His principles were then propagated by his two main disciples Saint Paul and Saint Peter.

The Philosophy of Christianity is understood by teachings of Jesus which are compiled in the holy book called the Bible, revered by the Christians

The principles and teachings of Christianity are as follows:

(i) God is one and all are equal before his eyes

(ii) Hate the crime and but not the criminal

(iii) All human beings are the children of one God. So we all are related to each other.

(iv) Emphasis on the good conduct of humanity

(v) We should leave anger and feeling of revenge and learn to forgive

(vi) He emphasised on tolerance which would help in the development of the soul.

(vii) He emphasised the message of truth, non-violence, service to poor and sufferers, sacrifice

However, in the later years, Christianity was divided into two main sects called Catholics and Protestants.

The Catholics followed the ancient and original message of Christianity. It modified itself after the Counter-Reformation movement.

The Protestants followed upon removing the orthodox political rights of the Pope, the sale of indulgences and emphasis on reform of the religion.
