Consequently, Christians refer to Jesus as Christ or the Messiah.
- The Book of Magic resembles a stereotypical depiction of the holy book of Christianity, the Bible, as it has a cross on its cover. This is because the Japanese version of the game actually called the item the Bible. This was likely changed due to Nintendo of America's guidelines. In spite of this, the later Famicom cartridge edition retains both names, with Bible in Japanese and Book of Magic in English text beside it. In addition, the shields used by Link and Darknuts also have a cross painted on it.
- Christianity is a religion that involves worshipping Jesus Christ. Churches are buildings people go to, for this religion.
- Allegedly started in the Year Zero, it remains popular today because it is the only socially acceptable large scale religion for Caucasians, and sometimes you get free bread and wine. Worship involves praying to effigies to save you from Hell, eating Jesus's body and drinking his blood; finding security in the fact that someone is watching you-always, loves you, and is taking care of you, but will send you to burn in hell for all eternity if you disobey him once; believing that homosexuality between consenting adults is a sin that is on par with all others (yes, including that one) and routinely trying to get rid of the stereotype Catholics have given all the other other various types of Christianity. In addition most Christians wear nice hats.

- The title of Christian has been claimed to mean different things. Many draw their title from biblicism, upon which there are many disagreements in understanding. Most include the Old Testament and the New Testament, though there are some that place the Old Testament as a lesser half of the Holy Bible or remove it entirely, refuse the New Testament and/or Apocrypha books, which can include Jewish apocrypha. There are also those that pick which verses they believe to be from the original writings. Others merely adhere to historical teachings of Christ located outside the bible, viewing the Gospel as tainted by tyrannical edits intended to control Christians. Aside from these, there are branches that grew from one or a combination of the examples aforementioned, but do not heed the holiness o
- Christianity was an Earth religion founded in the first century AD following the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.

- Christianity, as portrayed in the 2003 Fullmetal Alchemist anime series is an ancient monotheistic religion. The followers of this ancient faith created the secret city that exists beneath Dante's lair and, as such, she and Hohenheim Elric may have been practitioners. However, according to Dante, all the adherents besides the two of them - as well as their system of time measurement based on the birth of their founder and icon, Jesus Christ - had died out centuries ago, because of their religious intolerance and subsequent conflicts based on that intolerance. Although no one in the Fullmetal Alchemist series practices or even knows of Christianity, the town of Aquroya holds a church which seems to mimic some of the practices of the Christian church.

- Christianity (from the Ancient Greek word Χριστός, Christos, a translation of the Hebrew מָשִׁיחַ, Māšîăḥ, meaning "the anointed one", together with the Latin suffixes -ian and -itas) is an Abrahamic, monotheistic religion based on the life and oral teachings of Jesus of Nazareth as presented in the New Testament. Christianity is the world's largest religion, with nearly 2.4 billion adherents, known as Christians.

- Christianity is a human religion founded upon the teachings of Jesus Christ, whom the Bible records as being the only begotten Son of God and the Savior of all mankind, who has died on the cross for the sins of the world and has risen from the dead the third day to offer eternal life for those who believe in Him. It is a religion that emphasizes the virtues of righteousness through the obedience of God's commandments, including those of showing mercy and charity, and commonly depicts an eternal reward of heaven for the faithful and righteous and of hell for the unbelieving and wicked.
- Christianity is the system of beliefs and practices based on the Old and New Testament of the Bible focusing upon the person and work of Jesus Christ, the Son of the one true God, Yahweh, and recognized as God-incarnate. According to the Bible, Christ came to Earth to establish the New Covenant, an agreement to die as the ultimate sacrifice for sin in the place of those who had no hope apart from that sacrifice.
- Christianity was a monotheistic religion, stating that there was one God who created the universe. This one God, however, was both a unity and a trinity. There were three persons, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, who although distinct in person-hood share one and the same God-hood. Most images of the Christian God depicted a wise old man, seen as the universal father figure (indeed, God was often called "God the Father"), or Jesus Christ, who is God the Son incarnate as man, or the Holy Spirit with the image of a dove or as fire. In 2287, the entity of Sha Ka Ree assumed this form of the Christian God so as to "better suit the expectations" of the USS Enterprise team who had encountered it. (Star Trek V: The Final Frontier)
- Christianity is one of the three major religions that sprang forth from the Middle East, along with Judaism and Islam. Its founder was Jesus Christ, the Son of God who was believed to be the Messiah of the Jews and the Savior of all mankind. It started from Jerusalem after the time of His death, resurrection, and ascension into heaven and eventually spread forth unto all the earth throughout the centuries. From that time it has divided into many different sects, including Orthodox, Protestantism, and the Roman Catholic Church. During the time of the Tribulation, true followers of Christ were considered enemies of the state and were called "Judah-ites". Jesus' Biblical message that He alone is the way to God also makes Christianity seem intolerant in the eyes of those of either no religion
- Christianity is one of three monotheistic Abrahamic religion, which originally developed from an offshoot of 1st century Judaism. It differs from its parent religion in that its believers claim that Jesus Christ was (or is) the Son of God, who came to the earth to "save" mankind. Despite this supposed "Sacrifice" most of mankind according to Christian fundamentalists will go to Hell. And despite the vast majority of mankind facing eternal torment somehow the Christian god is also a god of love. Liberal Christians and Christian Universalists are more reasonable.
- Christianity is a monotheistic religion centered on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth as presented in the New Testament of the Bible. Christians believe Jesus to be the Son of God and the Jewish Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament. For specific forms of Christianity, see:

Christianity is the world's largest religion, with about 2.2 billion adherents, known as Christians. Christians believe that Jesus has a "unique significance" in the world.

- Christianity (from the Ancient Greek translation Χριστός, Christos of the Hebrew מָשִׁיחַ, Mašíaḥ, meaning "the anointed one" and the Latin suffixes ian and -itas) is a monotheistic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ as presented in the New Testament.

- Christianity is the belief that Jesus and God are you friggin saviers and will make you go to hell in Satan's crib if you don't waste your life worshipping the lord and getting saved. Christians are afraid that if they don't do this, they'll go to hell and they'll be forever damned and will live there for eternity, burning from flames (or whatever). They gather at churches, the baptists especially, some spending half their life there, hearing about preachers preach about nothing but getting saved or going to hell. They even have a choir sing gospel stuff. Wtf?
- It's not entirely clear what the story is with Christianity. There were a lot of prophets and religious leaders roaming around the world at the time of Christ, and the carpenter from Nazareth didn't really show up on Heaven's radar until the story was mostly over. Gabriel did inform Mary of her upcoming pregnancy, but he made more than a few such supernatural announcements of that sort. After the fact, angels (and demons) were able to investigate and gather some information...but an aura of ineffability (such as that which surrounds Superiors) prevented Seraphs and the like from discovering the Truth, even when speaking with eyewitnesses. In retrospect, most agree that something very out of the ordinary was going on.
