I need to write a paper on christian beliefs.
If you (or anyone) would answer some of these questions I would be grateful.
What do Christians believe?
What traditions or rules are there?
How did you become involved in this?
What makes this religion different/better than any other religion?
What doctrine do you believe and why?
How important is your faith?
Have you had a mystical experience in your religion?
Has your god hindered or harmed you in any way?
Has your god helped you in any way? If so how/why?
If you found contradictions in your book would you still believe?
I do not expect all these to be answer but some would be helpful.
What do Christians believe?
Christians believe in the divinity of Christ. They believe that Jesus was God. That Jesus came to earth as a man, lived life as a man. He taught us how to live. He also gave his life as an offering for sin, His crucifixion, gave the right to those who receive Him to be called children of God. His sacrificial death forgave the Christians sin.
What traditions or rules are there?
Christianity bases its rules primarily on the New Testament, the basis for all Christian teaching however comes from the Law of Moses. The principals of the law apply to Christians. However salvation is seen as coming from the death of Christ, God forgives man for his short comings, yet would have us live by the basic premises found in the law, and New Testament. We are forgiven totally, but are not to use that as an excuse to sin.
How did you become involved in this?
I had a dream about going to hell, Jesus showed me hell, and told me to go to church to be saved.
What makes this religion different/better than any other religion?
I believe that Jesus teachings on love surpass any other religion. Jesus taught to “love our enemies”. No other religion teaches to love everybody even those who would make themselves our enemies.
What doctrine do you believe and why?
Already stated.
How important is your faith?
Very important as to me it is the way that I gain eternal life.
Have you had a mystical experience in your religion?
Many. I have seen some people healed through prayer, and other experiences. See my YouTube channel for some examples.

This video in particular has my story
Has your god hindered or harmed you in any way?
Only ever helped me, never harmed me.
Has your god helped you in any way? If so how/why?
He has helped me in every way, He grants me success.
If you found contradictions in your book would you still believe?
I know the bible very well, and there is nothing in it that concerns me. Nothing that I see as being contradictory.
Sorry I have to get back to work. Will write in more detail if you need it.
