FAQ for Christianity

1) Why are there four Gospels?

Many readers of the New Testament are surprised that there are four gospels, not one, and because they were written by four authors, it creates the impression that we don't even have the gospel (Injil) of Jesus. However, the truth lies in the fact that in reality we have one, The gospel, and the gospel of Jesus the Messiah. He Himself is the gospel. The word "Gospel" means "Good News" and this Good News we find in the Person Christ. Therefore, the narrative of the four Gospels of the Bible are the four narratives are one and the same gospel. Therefore, Mark's account in really is the gospel of Jesus the Messiah according to Mark ("the Beginning The Gospel Of Jesus Christ...", Mark 1:1). The fact that we have four story, it only confirms the argument in favor of the accuracy of these narratives. If we had only one narrative, then we certainly would arise doubts about how to judge the reliability of the source, then as in fact we have four narratives of the events, which we read in them.

If four people came to Trafalgar square in London, sat at the four corners and described the Column of Nelson and everything they see around them, their written evidence would have been different. Their narrative is not contradicted to each other, but complement each other. In the four Gospels there are differences, but together they represent a complete picture of the personality of Christ. Each author reveals the Ministry and mission of Christ.

This can be illustrated by the example of how four authors of the gospel — Matthew,

Mark, Luke and John — show the genealogy of Christ. 
Matthew, as everyone knows, wrote for the Jews and wanted to show that Christ is the real Messiah. So he showed in the genealogy, that Christ is the Son of David and Son of Abraham.
Mark emphasized the Ministry of Christ did not speak of His birth, and focused solely on His service.
Luke showed Christ's person, therefore he presented His genealogy, which was conducted not only to David and Abraham, but to Adam.

John wanted to show that Christ is there with the beginning of history. So it says nothing about the genealogy of Christ, nor of His birth, and goes on David, Abraham and Adam to eternity and says:
 "The beginning was the Word" (John 1:1).

2) Why there is there separation in Christianity?

Christianity is mainly divided into three branches — Catholicism,

Orthodoxy and Protestantism. First and foremost it should be noted that if necessary was to outline a General range, we would include all these three branches. In other words, the three branches agreed on the fundamental truths of the Christian faith, includes most, if not all, of what is written in this little book. There are other groups, such as Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, out of this circle, because their beliefs go against the fundamental Christian truths. Between the Catholic and Orthodox Church that split in 1054, there are many similarities; the Catholic Church known as the West and as Eastern Orthodox. Both make a strong emphasis on tradition and ceremony. The main difference between these churches and the Protestant Church is to question authority. When Martin Luther argued against that position the Church, which prevailed in his time, he was convinced that the Church has departed from the principles original Christianity. Simply put, the Catholic Church in addition to The Bible felt the same authoritative traditions and officially recognized by the government the Church and the Pope. For example, the very existence of the Pope, belief in the divine authority of Mary and the need to confess their sins before the Holy the deacon is the concept that is not written in The Bible. As it is said Martin Luther, "our authority is the Scripture alone, by faith alone and only by

The grace of God". So the Protestant movement was a reaction of protest, Protestants

sought to return to the authoritative truths that we find only in The Bible. Of course, Protestantism itself was divided over time into many various Christian groups, and the differences between them exist, the main way, on issues of structure and organization. In many countries there are

alliances that bring together churches who believe in the Bible, and although the views of these churches on the structure and methods of worship in secondary issues teachings differ on the main issues of Christian faith and practice they are unanimous.

3) What special days and holidays there are in Christianity?

Giving paramount importance to the spiritual aspects of the Christian faith, many Christians unlike many traditional churches do not give much importance to the observance of special "Holy holidays" or ceremonies. Having in mind those facts,Christianity reveals to people not only in his teaching but in the historical events, and these events are held in accordance with the Christian calendar.
Two of the most important events in Christianity are Christmas, when celebrated

the birth of Christ, and Easter, consisting of good Friday and Easter Sundays, which mark respectively, the death and resurrection of Christ. Other important events are the Ascension, which always falls on Thursday, forty days after Easter, and the Coming of the Holy spirit, which

celebrated ten days later, which always falls on a Sunday. Christmas always falls on December 25, and Easter time is determined by the Jewish lunar calendar and usually it falls at the end of March or on April. It should also be noted that the New year is not considered a Christian

holiday, although it is associated with the Christian calendar.
