How has Christianity impacted the world?

Answer: In 31ad Jesus Christ founded His Church, which was to take His teachings and His message of the coming Kingdom of God to the world (Matthew 28:19-20). Those who were a part of this movement began to be called "Christians" (Acts 11:26). However, it was not long before an element of that faith began to diverge from the teachings of Jesus in significant ways (Jude 3). The religion that grew from this divergence-blending some of the biblical teachings and practices of Jesus with unbiblical teachings and practices from outside of the Bible-eventually gained the power and authority of Rome and the public label of "Christianity."
