The whole theme of the Bible is to get people to believe that God is saving them. Right after Adam and Eve sinned, God spoke about the salvation He was sending.

This salvation is the thread that flows to Jesus, where Jesus does it for God. And following this work that Jesus did, there is writings on the new life that people should want to live in. And there is the Revelation that shows what the final result of all of this will be.

Cool

To be honest, I was born in a multicultural family. some of our family members embrace different beliefs, including teachings about Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and even the religion inherited from our ancestors. in essence, all the religions that I studied teach kindness, love, and be useful to your fellow creatures including nature and everything in it.

But by the way, I do not understand the essence of what you convey. I know, in Christian beliefs, Catholicism, Islam, almost have similarities. but, don't get me wrong, I'm not debating it or comparing it to certain religions. what you say, I understand very well. about adam and eve, revelation and the end times. it's just that, I'm a little confused by the essence of what you convey in this post.

One more thing, sometimes I like to read your posts and even your arguments. many things and points that I like from your post, but not completely. not infrequently, you convey about religion and beliefs. but on the other hand, you like war conflicts. I think you are quite a unique person.

The whole Christian religion is this simple:
1 God made the universe and mankind perfect.
2. Mankind corrupted himself by not following God's divine laws perfectly.
3. The corruption would destroy mankind if not corrected.
4. God sent his Son Jesus in the form of a man to live on Earth.
5. Jesus kept the whole law of God perfectly, AND He took the punishment that was reserved for all mankind for their corruption.
6 The only thing left for man to do is believe it... believe in Jesus and what He did for us.
7. A person's actions in obeying the laws of God shows where his faith is, or if he has any faith. Disobedience also brings correction from God in this life. It often feels like pain and punishment.

Why all this? Because God is going to destroy the universe, because He doesn't like corruption. But because of His love for people, He wants to save mankind. The Jesus-salvation believers will be saved by being raised from death, and being taken to a new, perfect universe God is making (Heaven).

That's the whole, simplified story of what Christianity is all about. But it's not really that simple in ways. Read the first 4 books in the New Testament of the Bible.
