Why Believe In Jesus?

Hello! Welcome to Why Believe In Jesus?

This site (originally an MSN Group) was set up to explain Christianity and what it means to be a Christian using simple and easy-to-understand terms. Much of it is descriptive and explains Christianity from a Christian's point of view. In this way it is hopefully ideal for any research you may be doing for a Religious Studies or Theology essay, or just for your own interest. Other parts of the site are designed to explain how Christianity can change your own life if you want it to. It's an amazing relationship with God, and had led millions upon millions of people to lead happy, fulfilling lives.

Unfortunately I am not perfect and I do make mistakes, so there may be some errors on this site. I would also like to make it known that parts of the site are very much my own opinion and are beliefs which are not necessarily held by all Christians. That said, the fundamentals are all that really matter. All Christians accept that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

Well anyway, it doesn't matter who you are or what you believe - this website has been designed to be used by anyone! I realise it can be a daunting thing to discover the workings of a religion, but this site makes it fun and interesting to engage in the ever-growing faith of Christianity. So, whether you are in need of some info for an essay, or are just curious as to what Christians actually believe, then check out this site and I hope you find the answers you're looking for!

Words displayed in a different colour from the rest of the text are hyperlinked to another page and go into greater depth or show you a map or diagram. They will open in a new window.

            

There's not enough stuff here yet, I know, so I intend to fill this site with loads more info this coming year.

Here's just a few of the new pages and topics you can look forward to seeing!

• Disciples and Apostles
• Who is Satan?
• What is Sin?
• Evil and Suffering
• Ceremonies
• Christians and the Environment

Got any suggestions for pages you want to see or questions you want included amongst the FAQs? Then leave a message in the guestbook or send me a message to: liquid_viper at hotmail dot com!

Generally this site will refer to Christianity as a "religion" since it is a way of living which is associated with God. However, it is argued that in many ways Christianity is not a religion in every sense, and even that Jesus was against religion. This is because religion is associated with legalism and achieving certain things to be right with God or to get to heaven. Christianity is not like this because you do not need to be able to tick boxes to get to heaven; you just need to believe that Jesus Christ has already taken the punishment you deserve, and therefore ticked all the so-called boxes for you! So in that respect Christianity is not a religion so much as a faith.

Why Believe In Jesus? is in association with "The Meaning of Life" - check it out!
