When did Christianity Begin Origin of Christianity

Vijay Kumar:
Around 3600 years ago came Lord Krishna (the preacher of "Bhagavad Gita"... the first and the most concise scripture available on Mother Earth...available to followers of Hinduism at large and mankind in general).

About 1000 years later followed Bhagwan Mahavira (whose followers consist of Jainism sect). Mahavira was the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism religion after whose advent the teachings contained in the Jainism scriptures spread to the masses far and wide. Only after the advent of Bhagwan Mahavira did Jainism took its roots firmly.

Further 77 years later followed Gautama Buddha... whose followers are named Buddhists. Being a contemporary of Bhagwan Mahavira the teachings of Gautama Buddha do not vary much from the doctrines of Jaina religion. Siddhartha Gautama advocated following the middle path.

Neither going into deep dense forests (jungles) nor leading an exclusive family life can one attain the cosmic wisdom... the wisdom of the inner self. The prime reason why Buddhist teachings are known as the middle path! According to Gautama Buddha enlightenment could only be obtained following the middle path.

After Buddha about 423 years later came Jesus Christ whose followers are known as Christians and the following Christianity. Jesus Christ was an apostle of faith in the Lord. He practiced extreme patience and persistence in his life. It paid dividends in the end. The Christians finally recognized him as a true son of God. Before the advent of Jesus Christ... there was nothing like Christianity. The sooner his teachings spread far and wide he developed a following... the religion termed as Christianity!

Presently it is year 2007... it means we are 2007 years ahead of the day when Jesus Christ left his mortal frame. For all practical reasons we can say that Christianity came in existence in the world since about 2000 years. Actually it would have started in the lifetime of Jesus Christ... adding another 50 years... the advent of Christianity cannot be more than 2050 years at the most.
