HISTORICAL STUDY AND TEXTUAL ANALYSIS OF EARLY CHRISTIAN THOUGHT TRANSFORMATIONS
Kajian Sejarah dan Analisis Tekstual Terhadap Tranformasi Awal Pemikiran dalam Agama Kristian
Abstract
Christianity is the world's largest religion, encompassing a diverse range of followers across the globe. Despite its universal appeal, Christianity's origins trace back to teachings initially intended for the Children of Israel. This prompts the question of how the religion transformed into a universal faith suitable for people of all races and ethnicities. While Christianity today embraces a multicultural following, disparities exist between the teachings of Jesus as depicted in the Bible and the current doctrines of the faith. This article aims to explore these differences and, specifically, delve into Bible verses that substantiate the evolution of thought within Christianity. This study analyzes the text of the Bible and identifies the changes that have taken place in Christianity. The results of the study indicate a difference between the teachings of Jesus and contemporary Christianity, thereby substantiating the existence of a transformation of thought within the religion.
