What is Christianity?

Christian Fish or Ichthys
The Bible tells us to always be ready to give an answer for the reason we believe in Jesus Christ (my paraphrase). It also instructs Christians to be ready in season and out of season to preach the gospel. Are you ready if someone asks you today, "What is Christianity and what do you believe?"

If not, here's a handy, two-minute animated video giving a clear, uncluttered explanation of the Christian faith: What is Christianity? It's a simple, well done visual illustration that covers the basic beliefs of the Christian faith without getting bogged down in complex theology.

Here are a few more simple tools that might be useful:

Hello Mary. Sorry if this isn’t the right place to tell this but I haven’t found your mail :(

I’m a Portuguese catholic man. I was raised in the catholic spirit and I love to be part of our family. I’m sending this mail because I have some questions. They were posed to me by one person that I know and unfortunately I wasn’t able to respond them. Sorry.

They are:

Since Adam and Eve are mythological figures, why did Jesus came to save us from Original Sin? Shouldn’t Original Sin be also mythological?

Why did God created dinosaurs and let them die instead of, creating us first?

Why did God created so many superfluous planets? We just need two or three. Why billions of them?

Why didn’t God told Jesus to tell us information like Heliocentrism instead of letting us defend Geocentric?

Thanks in advance for the response. I copied the questions from a mail so they are exactly how he posed them to me. Please don’t take too long to respond me because I’m eager to tell him some trues. Thanks.
