His Gospel of the Kingdom, started before thatChristianity began in Luke 24:44-48.
How many meetings did Jesus have with Gentiles that were recorded in the Bible. {please give Chapter and verse}
It is recorded that He talked with the Canaanite woman,
the soldier who's son would die but Jesus said to him, he will live; and They came to Him.
Was there any record in the Bible of Jesus approaching and conversing with a gentile?
When did the Christianity begin?
What is the statement of faith?
It began at the beginning, at Creation. The Word of God was there. Redemption has been the theme all along. There has only even been one gospel.When did the Christianity begin?

I agree, but that was not the question. The question was when did Christianity begin.His Gospel of the Kingdom, started before that
Christianity began at Christ' baptism. Any date after this would mean that his life and preaching are not part of Christianity.When did the Christianity begin?
The approved statement of faith is the Nicene Creed:What is the statement of faith?
Depends on what you consider Christianity. I don't personally see Yeshua (Jesus) creating a new religion. I see him perfectly and prophetically walking out an existing religion. The word for church in Greek (ekklesia) which we see in the NT, is found a number of times in the Greek OT (penned in 300BC) in reference to Israel.When did the Christianity begin?
Christianity began in creation. The believers of the old testament are Christians. The only difference is that the savior for them was someone to come in the future whereas for us his work is finished. Regardless, the blood of Christ has washed away the sins of all believers throughout time.When did the Christianity begin?

ah no. You can't just take a name and give it to someone else.That same name "Israel" continues in those who are faithful and loyal to Him (His church - the Body of Christ).
A different gospel than the Kingdom? That would explain why a religion called Christianity was formed which focused on it's own brand of salvation rather than putting the will of God before our own, thus loving all as self. the latter is easy for the servant and slave bit not so for those who have power, wealth, or oppress in the world of man. They instead prefer the salvation gospel.To understand when Christianity began, it is necessary to know when the disciples grasped the means by which the gospel of salvation would be.
The key word I used was "continues". I'm not "taking from" anyone. It's important - I believe - for us (as Christians) to understand the continuity from Genesis to Revelation.ah no. You can't just take a name and give it to someone else.
Even in the New Testament, Israel is still Israel.
Ironically, you couldn't cite scripture to back up your assertion that this name is now given to someone else.
There is some continuity. But only some. And that still doesn't make Judaism be a variety of Christianity!The key word I used was "continues". I'm not "taking from" anyone. It's important - I believe - for us (as Christians) to understand the continuity from Genesis to Revelation.
Isaiah 11:1 - Out of the stump of David’s family will grow a shoot— yes, a new Branch bearing fruit from the old root.
Romans 11 - Romans 11 BSB
The two (the gospel of the Kingdom of God and the gospel of salvation) are inseparable. No-one can inherit the Kingdom of God unless he is born again. And a person cannot be born again, unless he receives Jesus as their savior.A different gospel than the Kingdom?

I'm not referring to modern-day Judaism. However, Christianity IS rooted in ancient Judaism.There is some continuity. But only some. And that still doesn't make Judaism be a variety of Christianity!
It is continually done the other way around and for a reason.So if you want to preach a Kingdom of God gospel apart from Jesus's Salvation gospel
It began at the beginning, at Creation. The Word of God was there. Redemption has been the theme all along. There has only even been one gospel.
