Is Christianity just a big quilt of other religions?

Seems the Samaritans already had their story about Jesus well before Christianity.

    Very easy question.

    The religion of Christianity began when Jesus called St. Peter (Peter which means "rock") and said that on this rock He would build His Church. St. Peter was of course the Catholic Church's first Pope and hell hasn't been able to prevail against Christ's Catholic Church, all the way down to our current Pope Benedict XVI.

    Although, I can say with the Protestants breaking away there does seem to be a sort of big quilt of other religions. But, the Church that Christ has instituted is still alive and always will be, as He Himself said.

    Christianity is the revelation of Old Testament prophecy. The Samaritans followed a pre-exilian version of Abrahamic Judaism. So it wouldn't surprise me that prophecies regarding the Messiah would be part of their religion.

    What a entirely fake declare!!! Add christians and muslims in combination they usually quantity to simply beneath a 3rd of the arena populace the vast majority of the leisure is made of atheists and religions with out gods!! So they're within the majority!!! Recent surveys exhibit the ones claiming to be christian have dropped via over ten percentage in not up to a decade!! But the church buildings possess figures exhibit most effective 28% ever attend church in a 12 months. Indeed if 28% ever attempted to wait church at the identical day, even running shifts, there's effectively no longer sufficient church buildings!! But depend the bars - in lots of areas there's more room In the bars than the church buildings!! So please give up making wildly foolish claims and appear on the reality!!

    Honestly, many religions have similarities with each other. Check this out:

    Also, the movie Religulous talks about similarities at one part. You should definitely watch that.
