Question
Despite bleak periods in its history, Christianity has survived as one of the major expressions of faith and ethics in the world, how has it done this?


Answer
HI Tristan, sorry but I dont agree that it has "survived" I believe the Christianity Jesus established back in the first century was diluted and apostasisted by the 4th century, to leave what we have now, a mish mash of traditions and laws that bear no resemblance to the Christianity Jesus established.

However I do believe there is a group of people today who can be called TRUE Christians, because their teachings match exactly with the ones Jesus established, and they are JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES.

all the best

I love to study and have made a point of finding out all there is to know about Early Christianity,how it was founded, and why,what happened after it was established,where it all went wrong, and why Christianity is struggling today.Having been a protestant I can give you its history, and now being one of Jehovah`s witnesses I can give you its history also.

Experience

I have been speaking to people about this for over 30 years so that has given me experience.
