Christianity - frequently asked questions


Questions people often ask…

Is it true Christians believe in three gods?
No. But they do believe in the Holy Trinity, which includes God, the Son, the Holy Spirit.

Why do Christians worship on Sundays?
Because they believe Sunday is the day Jesus Christ rose from the dead. Christians worship in churches and their spiritual leaders are known as priests or ministers.

What exactly is a saint and what do they do?
The Bible uses the word saint to describe strong and committed Christians. These days, it usually refers to people who have lead good lives and who inspired miracles after their death.

Do Christians believe in life after death?
Very strongly, although there are different beliefs about what it will be like.

What do people mean when they talk about the Reformation?
The Reformation happened in the 16th century. This happened because the Pope in Rome (the leader of Chotholic Christians) and some of Europe's state rulers believed in Christianity in different ways. The result of this means that the Protestant churches were formed.

Where is Christianity most popular now?
Christianity was very popular across Europe. Many missionaries travelled across African, Asia and South America in the 19th and 20th centuries they tried to teach others about Christianity. Because of this Christianity is becoming more popular in these parts of the world.
