Wikify date August 2011 Johannine Christianity is Christianity that places a lot of emphasis on the teachings of Jesus, particularly as revealed through the Gospel of John . Started with a community of early followers of Jesus who defined themselves rather starkly against the Jewish milieu in which they arose. These believers cultivated an intense devotion to Jesus as the definitive revelation of God s salvific will. They understood themselves to be in intimate contact with him and with one another, under the guidance of the Spirit Paraclete. They were conscious of their relationship to other believers with whom they hoped to be in eventual union. Their piety found distinctive expression in a reflective literary corpus that explored new ways of expressing faith in Jesus. Their common life included ritual actions known to other followers of Jesus, but they insisted on the unique spiritual value of those rites. Disputes eventually divided the community. By the middle of the second century some representatives of the Johannine tradition achieved a respected role in the emerging great church , the interconnected web of believers throughout the Mediterranean that provided mutual support and maintained fellowship under the leadership of emerging episcopal authorities. The Johannine community of the first century bequeathed to the universal church its distinctive literary corpus and estimation of Jesus, which came to dominate the development of later Christian orthodoxy.

Christianity by country The Philippines is one of two predominantly Roman Catholic nations in Asia , the other being East Timor . About 93 of the population is Christian, about 5 are Muslim and about 2 are other or none. History In the 1521, the Portuguese people Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan arrived in the Philippines while sailing for Spain in search of a route to the East Indies . Spanish and Portuguese explorers landed on the island of Limasawa in the Philippines. At this time period, almost nothing was known to the west of the Philippines and so our sources of information about pre Hispanic societies in the country date from the early period of Spanish contact. Most Philippine communities, with the exception of the Muslim sultanates in the Sulu Archipelago and Mindanao , were fairly small without a great deal of centralized authority. The absence of centralized power meant that a minority of Spanish explorers were able to convert a large number of indigenous tribes living in politically autonomous units more easily than they could have, say, converted people living in large, organized, complex kingdoms such as those Hindu ized or later Theravada Buddhist influenced kingdoms in mainland Southeast Asia, the Malay Peninsula and the List of islands of Indonesia Indonesian Archipelago .
