The most important factor in Christianity’s success over the years is the active attitude both the church and Christians have taken towards the conversion of new members. Unlike Judaism, Christianity places no restrictions on the parents, and the conversion process is much simpler. Ever since the early church Christianity has expanded and converted people from all different faiths and from all over the world. Without the decidedly active example for conversion that Paul set Christianity would not exist as it does today. Christianity is the world’s largest religion as well as the world’s fastest growing religion. Without all of the efforts that have gone into gaining new members neither of these things would be true.
Christianity also sends out a message that appeals to all different kinds of people. The ideals that Christianity has are not limited to a place or group of people, but to any one who wants to accept them. For example, the idea that Jesus died for all of mankind’s sins is all inclusive, so anyone who wants to can relate to it can. While conversion I the factor that has led to Christianity’s overwhelming success the conversions would not be possible if people were not able to relate to the ideals of Christianity.

Alex,
ReplyDeleteI like your point about that the reason Christianity is a major religion is because it is relatable and easy to convert. Conversion is key to the survival of Christianity, and Christianity began with Paul converting the Gentiles.
