You need to realize that Christianity is an umbrella term for 1000s of different beliefs, i know a christian girl whose interpretation of the bible is that religion is wrong and she also believes in reincarnation ... 

I know you have different sects of Christianity, I was talking about astro theology and Christianity.

Every religion has theories surrounding it's origins, it don't mean it's true.

People say sikh is the product of Islam meeting Hinduism.

And that Islam is a mix of the previous two religions before it

That Christianity got heaven/he'll concept from Zoroastrianism.

There is a lot of paganism in the roman Catholic religion, that's because the Catholic religion is a mix of eastern Christian beliefs and the pagan religions of Rome that existed before Christianity was introduced, the roman emperors wanted to unite rome under one religion and they chose Christianity as the state religion but the people didn't want to let go of their pagan beliefs so many pagan practices were mixed with Christian beliefs and the Catholic religion was created,   Catholics have a lot of sun and other solar symbols because that's continued in from the previous pagan religions.

But that's just Catholics     most other Christian sects have their own beliefs 

Protestants for example don't have idols of Jesus mary the sun and neither do they carry out other rituals related to Catholics. 

Middle eastern Christianity is very spiritual and is similar to sufism. 

Chrisitianity is the belief in Christ, how they practise it varies depending on the culture and sect. 

The Christian girl I know says religion is man made and that Christianity for her is between herself and God, creating a relationship with God.

Jesus was a Jewish man and he even worshipped in the Jewish temple. But he disagreed with the hypocricy of the Jewish priests and started speaking up against them. The priests obviously didn't like that.

He claimed to be the messiah and came to deliver the people, the persists saw that as blasphemy and accused him of being a magician of the dark arts and starting petitioning before the roman empire to get Jesus crucified.

Christianity was created after all this but his teachings form the foundations.

There are several different names for God in the hebrew bible, which includes El, Elhoim,  Yahweh and others.

What is the name of God in sikhi?

Have you bothered to make ANY effort learn Gurmukhi in all this time you've been posting here over the months? 

[puzzled]

Christians believe in one god who is the creator and sustainer of the world

Gurmuki is really easy to learn,  i'm surprised how easy it is. I can read Punjabi now but need to learn the lawan, tippi etc

i know that if you add bindi under sassa it becomes shassa and under jajja then it becomes the Z sound    

I can read the signs at the gurdwara, titles of Punjabi books,    but im kid of refraining from reading gurbani because i want to learn the lawan, tippi etc first    

you just need to learn the individual akhars and what sound they make and then revise and memorize them   and then you've got it

It's actually smart to wait till you master the whole system before you start trying to read Gurbani because all the silent letters/symbols are likely to confuse the heck out of you. 

Here's a top tip if you aren't special needs. To accelerate your learning of the alphabet and symbols read Jaap Sahib along with a slow paat of it (I like Giani Thakur Singh's reading myself). It's like throwing yourself in the deep end but it accelerates learning (well it did for me anyway).
