Many People Entertain The Idea That Christianity,like Almost Any Other Religion,is Basically A System Of Beliefs-you Know, A Set Of Doctrines Or A Code Of Behavior, A Philosophy, An Ideology. But That's A Myth. Christianity Is Not At All Like Buddhism Or Islam Or Confucianism. The Founders Of Those Religions Said (in Effect), 'here Is What I Teach. Believe My Teachings. Follow My Philosophy.' Jesus Said, 'follow Me'(matthew 9:9). Leaders Of The World's Religions Said, 'what Do You Think About What I Teach?' Jesus Said, 'who Do You Say I Am?'(luke 9:20)
