Reasons To Blame For The Death Of Christianity

Superior Essays
1. Jewish people have been solely blamed for the death of Christ. Christ is an important figure in the Christian faith. Jewish people also claimed themselves as the chosen people of their scripture. The Jewish people are also known to be able to adapt to their environment and thrive. It’s easy to see why other faiths may be jealous of how the Jewish faith has protected their followers. They are known as the chosen people because they have accepted the Torah as their scripture. They don’t think they are better than others, although calling a group of people chosen appears to make one seem more important than another. Christians follow the word of Jesus Christ and his followers. Jesus Christ was said to be Jewish himself but, the Jewish people eventually killed him. Crucifying their lord and savior but, the Jewish people reject the idea that Christ was the savior. Many times people forget that at the time the Jews had Roman authorities in charge. However, more often than not the Jewish people are solely blamed not the Romans. The major event that no one will be able to forget is the Holocaust. Jewish were the target group to eliminate during the Holocaust which killed millions. Hitler wanted to clean up the race and only allow the Aryan race to continue in Germany. He blamed the Jewish people for all the problems in Germany. He blamed them for losing World war 1 and the economic crises that were happening in Germany at the time. He set off to destroy every single Jewish person. Hitler eventually was involved in world war 2 and lost. It’s possible that he was jealous of the Jewish people because his family was poor and many Jews were well off. 5. …show more content…
Evangelism in the Christian faith can’t be justified. Forcing another person to follow your faith because you believe their faith isn't the right one. Religion shouldn’t be forced onto people because that isn’t the correct way to inform people. Similar to when the government would force the peasants into one religion into another isn’t a correct method. A person can share aspects of their religion and practices with people, therefore, they can help evangelize more people into their faith. I believe a person should be interested in a faith to be able to follow the religious. I wouldn’t want to be forced into believing a religion. I grew up as a catholic which also means I was baptized when I was still an infant. I didn’t agree to it and don’t remember the event. Now, as an adult I can choose which faith I wish to follow. Fortunately, I live in a country that has religious freedom. I can participate in any faith or none at all if I wish. There are certain aspects that people should have in their moral set. Not killing and robbing people are pretty good rules. I believe people should try their best to be good people. They don’t need to fear hell to be a good person and need a reward such as salvation to push them to be good. There’s plenty of religious people who do bad things because they don’t follow their own moral standards. However, some African communities practice polygamy and Christian missionaries attempt to eliminate it. I don’t agree with polygamy and I’m in a monogamous marriage. It’s possible that in those African communities that practice polygamy is because this method has worked for them. In many families the male is the head of the family and works to support the family. If the man dies and the family dies, then the widow may remarry for financial support. ANother possibility is a shortage of men in small communities. 7. A country cannot be truly secular. Secularism is to completely separate religion and politics. The US claims to have religious freedom and be able to accept any religion into the melting pot. The US has churches and temples of multiple religions across the country. However, a larger majority of the US population is involved in a Christian faith. There are multiple denominations of Christians, but, have similar values and sacraments. The controversial issue about abortion and birth control is common among the US. It’s always being questioned as if its moral. Being pro-choice is giving

    There is more than one opinion on the cause of the fall of Rome. Religion, politics, and economic factors have been said to be the cause of the decline of the Roman Empire (Andrews). The traditional Roman religion was slowly replaced. A new way of thinking and a different set of values changed the way Romans looked at the Emperor. The introduction of a different religion was the beginning of the end of the Empire.…

    After rereading Tina Housers’ book and identified which principles were my strengths and my weaknesses, I took the time to carefully think over and pray about these four principles. The principles in the book that I found to be strengths of mine included: laughs and participates as a team player. The two principles I found in the book that I need to improve on were; pointing others to Jesus and administrates meetings efficiently.

    Out of fear, blame is often presented to those who come off as an easy target. Taking the easy way out seems a lot simpler then risking oneself pride and status, and this way creates a multitude of problems. Not only is the blame made off of assumptions and past grudges, but oftentimes the accusations are made from a type of deeply felt resentment that boils below. Whether this blame is made based on skin color or reputation, or whether the accusation is made out of a sense of greed and want for more, the scenario is that oftentimes taking the easy way out becomes a much more complicated circumstance.…

    Throughout feudal and medieval Europe, society was stricken with anti-semitic and misogynistic events. Both Jews and females suffered during this time, where scapegoating occurred regularly. Jews filled the role of scapegoats through being blamed for the killing of Christ, killing Christians and performing heretic-like acts. As a result, they have faced the brunt of European brutality, in events such as the First Crusade, Black Death, and Spanish Inquisition. As well, females were seen as inferior, gross, and in many cases witches.…

    The Jewish-Roman Revolts

    • 1309 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Jewish-Roman revolts occurred throughout the long period of Roman occupation across the Eastern Mediterranean, which included parts of modern Southeast Europe, North Africa, and West Asia. However, arguably the most contentious period between Romans and their Jewish subjects occurred during the first and second centuries CE and settled significantly shortly after the end of the Bar Kokhba revolt in 135 CE. Scholarly arguments of the causes of the Jewish-Roman revolts are as abundant as the many years the conflict occurred including theories on themes of opposition to acculturation and the resulting lack of agency to the Jewish subjects. Despite the broad range of arguments for the causes of the revolts, the general consensus among…

    Christianity and Judaism while they are two different religions also have some very similar concepts. They both believe in the same God, they believe that there is only one God, they both believe in and study the Old Testament, as well as other common themes in both religions. Some of these similarities are due to the fact that “Christianity began as a sect of Judaism in the first century C.E.”(Hopfe, pg. 203). But Christianity and Judaism have some vast differences as well. Throughout this paper I will be discussing the differences between Christianity and Judaism, as well as some of the similarities that they share.…

    Judaism maintains that the righteous of all nations have a place in the world to come. This has been the majority rule since the days of the Talmud. Judaism recognizes that Christians and Moslems worship the same G-d that we do and those who follow the teachings of their religions can be considered righteous in the eyes of G-d. Contrary to popular belief, Judaism does not maintain that Jews are better than other people. Although we refer to ourselves as G-d's chosen people, we do not believe that G-d chose the Jews because of any inherent superiority. According to the Talmud (Avodah Zarah 2b), G-d offered the Torah to all the nations of the earth, and the Jews were the only ones who accepted it.…
