Jesus as the Founder of
Christianity
Christianity started with a prophecy in the Old
Testament that God will send his only begotten Son to
save humanity from eternal damnation. Jesus, through
his preaching and healing, was seen by his followers to
be the Messiah they were waiting for.

RELIGIOUS
LEADERS
The Catholic Church follows a
certain hierarchy based on the Canon
Law of the Catholic Church. At the
top of the hierarchy is the pope,
considered as Peter’s successors.
The hierarchy also includes the
cardinals, archbishops, bishops,
priests, and deacons. Each member
of the hierarchy has his own function
for the efficiency of the Church. IntroductiontoCttristianity

POPE
The pope is the head of
the Catholic Church and
the Bishop of Rome. The
pope is also the head of
the sovereign city-state,
Vatican City. What this
means on a daily basis is
that the pope, in this case
Pope Francis I,has duties
both political and religious.
Next to the Pope are the
cardinals, who are also
appointed by the Pope.
The primary
responsibility
cardinal is to
of a
elect a
new pope when a pope
dies or abdicates the
papacy. Other cardinals
have different areas of
responsibility, called
congregations.
CARDINALS
IntroductiontoCttristianity
Pope Francis
BISHOP
Bishops alone have
to confirm
the right
and ordain members
of the clergy, and their
main duty is to
supervise the clergy
within their diocese.
A bishop who moves to the
level of cardinal isn't
ordained, but handpicked
by the pope, who also
appoints bishops. A bishop
oversees a diocese, which
is a collection of local
parishes; and
an archbishop administers
an archdiocese, which is
just a really large diocese.
ARCHBISHOP
IntroductiontoCttristianity
Most. Rev. Cosme Damian
Almedilla D.D
PRIEST
In the Catholic
Church, a parish priest
is a priest appointed
by the bishop to
represent him to the
local parish, which is a
collection of
neighborhoods in one
small region of a
county within a given
state.
Deacons are ordained as a
sacramental sign to the
Church and to the world of
Christ, who came "to serve
and not to be served.“
The entire Church is called by
Christ to
serve,
virtue
ordination
and the deacon, in
of his sacramental
and through his
various ministries, is to be a
servant in a servant-Church.
DEACONS
IntroductiontoCttristianity 5
Rev. Fr. Joselito T. Galido,
DEITY/GOD
IntroductiontoCttristianity
Christians believe in one God, therefore
Christianity is a monotheistic religion. God is
seen as the creator and maintainer of the
universe, and is believed to be:
• omnipotent (all-powerful),
• omniscient (all-knowing),
• omnipresent (all-present),
• and omnibenevolent (all- good).
God is also sacred, moral, unchangeable,
compassionate, graceful, and timeless.
The Shield of the Trinity,
or Scutum Fidei, which is
Latin for ‘shield of faith,’
is a traditional Christian
symbol which expresses
the concept of the Holy
Trinity –the Father, the
Son, and the Holy Spirit.
IntroductiontoCttristianity
• In this context, the Holy Trinity concept relates
to the family, representing husband, wife, and
offspring.
• It also points to the direct connection
between mind, body, and soul, or, in other
words, our
thinking, actions, and feelings.
• As an ideal representation of eternity, it’s also
a symbol of the inseparability between past, present,
and future.
• Similarly, it portrays faith, love, and hope.
IntroductiontoCttristianity
SACRED SCRIPTURES
The Bible is considered the sacred scripture of Christianity.
• It is a collection of songs, stories, poetry, letters, history, as well as
literature.
• It is composed of two books, the Old Testament and the New
Testament.
• The Old Testament is considered the original Hebrew Bible, written
between 1200 and 165 B.C.E.
• The New Testament was written by Christians around 100C.E.

Verse 1
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
In verdant pastures he gives me repose;
beside restful waters he leads me;
he refreshes my soul.
Verse 2
He guides me in right paths for his name's sake.
Even though I walk in the dark valley
I fear no evil; for you are at my side
With your rod and your staff
that give me courage.
Verse 3
You spread the table before me
in the sight of my foes;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Verse 4
Only goodness and kindness follow me
all the days of my life;
and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD
for years to come.
IntroductiontoCttristianity
THE OLD
TESTAMENT
The Old Testament is the first part of Christian Bibles, based primarily upon the
Hebrew Bible.
• a collection of ancient religious writings by the Israelites believed by most
Christians and religious Jews to be the sacred Word of God. The second
part of the Christian Bible is the New Testament.
IntroductiontoCttristianity
The New Testament is made up of twenty-seven different books attributed
to eight different authors, six of whom are numbered among the Apostles
(Matthew, John, Paul, James, Peter, Jude) and two among their immediate
disciples (Mark, Luke).
The New Testament was not written all at once. The books that compose it
appeared one after another in the space of fifty years, i.e. in the second half
of the first century. Written in different and distant countries and addressed
to particular Churches, they took some time to spread throughout the whole
of Christendom. It discusses the teachings and person of Jesus, as well as
events in first-century Christianity. IntroductiontoCttristianity
BELIEFS AND DOCTRINES
Beliefs and doctrines serve as moral guidelines for the
Christians. They should follow these teachings strictly
if they want to redeem God’s promise of eternal life.
Not following them would lessen their chances of
being called true Christians and reduces their chances
of salvation in the afterlife.
IntroductiontoCttristianity
TEN COMMANDMENTS
IntroductiontoCttristianity 3
The Ten Commandments, also known as
the Decalogue, are a set of biblical
principles relating to ethics and worship,
which play a fundamental role in the
Abrahamic religions.
The Ten Commandments appear twice
in the Hebrew Bible, in the books of
Exodus and Deuteronomy.
"He proclaimed to you his
covenant, which he
commanded you to keep:
the Ten Commandments, which
he wrote on two tablets of
stone."
Deuteronomy 4:13
