What is the fundamental belief system of Christianity? And how is it at it's very core hypocrisy?

What is the fundamental belief system of Christianity? And how is it at it's very core hypocrisy? What is an essential part of it's very center of what they believe? It is Jesus Christ as your savior. That is their core belief. That is the foundation of their belief system. Jesus Christ is our savior from our sins. The foundation is their belief that if you do not accept Jesus Christ as your savior from your sins you shall perish. You shall suffer in hell.

You cannot say that only a few or that not all Christians believe this to be true. You must believe this. You must have faith that this is true. This is the will of God. Otherwise you are not a Christian. You are not a believer in Jesus Christ.

And this is why Christianity in its essence represents evil. In that the existence of hell is a part of the very center of their belief system. At the very center of their belief is that you should suffer you must suffer eternal damnation if you do not accept Jesus Christ as your savior from sin. And this is the epitome of hypocrisy of betrayal of abandonment of everything of every belief they hold. They deny themselves of their very salvation by condemning those who do not believe. They condemn themselves to the greatest of all sins. The damnation of others the suffering of others.

Well said. Fear to control behavior. Us vs. Them. And, oh yeah, Love thy neighbor. Unless they believe or live differently.

@Ynotisay yes I totally agree

@Ynotisay Yes, in fact it was the emperor Justinian who declared that Universalism (the eventual salvation of all) - then quite prevalent - was heretical. We have to suspect his motives. It is now been shown by scholarship that the Church as such has never declared the teaching heretical officially.

The stick is often more effective than the carrot.

Unfortunately the Church, and much Tradition, eventually followed St Augustine, who could not even read the Greek of the New Testament. The man who even declared that unbaptised babies were damned. Even those who still believe in the eternal/perpetual torment of the "unsaved" can now rarely tolerate such a hideous teaching, yet it is quite logical according to their core beliefs.

The whole thing is sad. Desperately so.
