The Founding People of Christianity

This eventually led toi the beginning of the Christian religion.

These ten laws are now known as the 10 Commandments. At the time these ten commandments set apart the religion at the time because for the first time the people knew what was expected of them. As Jesus began to preach his word many people were shocked by many things he did and eventually he was crucified because he choose to die for his people and his followers rather than conform to the ideals of the day.
