Early days of Christianity & Ancient Rome

What do Christians believe?

Jesus is the central figure of Christianity. People saw Jesus as the son of god that created humans. Even though Christians only believe in one god, most traditions teach that one god is expressed as three "persons", also known as The Holy Trinity.

The Holy Trinity

The majority of Christians also believe in the Holy Trinity. Not that there are three gods, but rather, God has three separate parts which are namely god, the father, the son (Jesus Christ), and the holy spirit. Christians don’t believe in three gods, this all depends on the division of Christianity. Some believe that God himself had taken human form as Jesus Christ and is his incarnation on Earth, and that God is presented today through the work of the Holy Spirit. Others believe that Jesus was merely a prophet/ messenger who only came to deliver his good news and is not God himself. These beliefs are two of the major divisions of Christianity. These days, the word saint is most commonly used to refer to a Christian who has lived a particularly good and holy life on earth, and with whom miracles are claimed to have been associated after their death.

The Ten Things That Christians Aren't Allowed To Do

The Ten Commandments is also known as the Decalogue, which are things that Christians aren't allowed to do. The ten commandments are a set of principles that relates to ethics and worship, which play a fundamental role in Christianity. The commandments include instructions to worship only to one God, to respect one's parents, and to keep the sabbath day holy, as well as prohibitions against idolatry, blasphemy, murder, adultery, theft, dishonesty, and coveting. Different religious groups follow different traditions for interpreting and numbering them.

How do Christians practice their beliefs?

Christians practice their beliefs in many different ways. Including Sunday worship, bible study, baptism, etc... On Sundays, Christians would go to church and do worship services. People generally sing and pray at the church to communicate with the god. Most Christians also worship at home and reads the bible regularly.

Bible Study
In Christian communities, people would study the bible as personal or religious or a spiritual practice. They believe that all scripture is given by the inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction for rightness.
