Argumentative Essay On Christianity

Improved Essays
The history of Christianity is a very broad topic that you could go into great detail about, whether debating or stating facts. But I would like to give you the information I received from an article I read. Based off the article, Christianity came to the forefront approximately 2000 years ago in the city of Judea, or present day Israel. Christianity started with Jesus Christ and later down the line came his noble disciples. Approximately 2000 years ago in Judea, there was a wide culture of farms, cities, and areas which people thrived in. Jesus made his way through these areas to teach. Jesus as we all know was a Jew, and in the article I read, it states that Jesus was a very observant man. He observed many Jewish laws and faith, making himself

In 30 C.E. Jesus was sentenced to death because he was seen as a threat to the Romans as potential starter of a rebellion.

    History has been far more kind to Christianity than to any another religion. Even though in its very beginning it started out as a faith held and practiced secretly for fear of persecution, three main historical time periods helped it grow into the most popular religion in the world. The first of these time periods was during the height of the Roman Empire when the emperor at the time, Constantine the Great, saw a burning cross in the sky before a battle. He went on to decisively win that battle and from that moment on he became a Christian. He then quickly ended the persecution of Christians through out the empire with the Edict of Milan but never actually proclaimed Christianity as the empire’s religion.…

    As we’ve seen so far this semester, there is no good way to categorize all religions and the same could be said for the way those religions spread. Christianity and Yoruba are two great religions to study, as the way they spread, much like the religions themselves, could not be more different. Christianity started within the Jewish community, as a rouge group who believed in the teachings of Jesus Christ. Eventually it formed into a new religion with the help of the Apostle Paul spreading the word.…

    Even before coming to seminary and studying these different theologians who uphold their own faith convictions, I had a strong stance when it came to providing some sort of action to one’s beliefs. I would always refer this to “Action Christianity”. It’s great to believe there should be good in this world and incorporate ideas for good to take place. If there is no act upon this faith, how much does one really care concerning that certain topic. I am in no way questioning someone’s faith, I simply believe there should be certain acts of kindness to not only preach about, but also practice what you preach.…

    This is written in our Constitution's First Amendment and states that everyone in the United States has the right to practice his or her own religion or no religion at all. There seems to be a widespread confusion today about what "separation of church and state" means. People think this concept is made to keep the religion out of politics when, in fact, it was put in place to ensure the government would not dictate the faith of the nation. Religious freedom, however, goes beyond constitutional rights because one's religion is extremely personal. Although Freedom of Religion prevents the government or large churches from imposing their religion onto others and allows its citizens to worship freely, it does not prevent others from harassing or shaming religions that are not their own.…

    According to our texts, God is not good because God causes suffering without justification and creates humans to be inherently evil. While God’s creations are described as good in the creation story, God is never explicitly described as good. This raises the question of whether God is good or not. Upon observing God’s actions through the texts we have read it becomes hard to see God as good. God creates humans in his image, who are later defined as being inherently evil.…

    Many think that the practice of conversion therapy is wrong and that it should be banned throughout the country, but some individuals see why conversion therapy is needed. Christians believe that homosexuality is a sin because the bible declares, “Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is an abomination,” (Leviticus 20:13). Having a sexual relationship with the opposite sex is often portrayed as an immoral act in religion. Christians believe that God has a rule against same-sex relationships and even if they do not fully understand the rationale behind it, Christians are just expected to obey the rule. In the recent 2016 elections, conversion therapy was promoted through the Republican party in 2016.…

    Churches bulldozed, crosses removed, Christians persecuted, chaos, poverty, corruption… And it all comes down to one word: Religious persecution. Syria and China the highlights of a increasing oppressive tendency that slowly but steadily slains Christians all over the globe, threatening anyone who considers itself a follower of Jesus Christ.

    Argumentative Paper Many people have often wondered can faith be considered a source of knowledge? In order for something to be a source of knowledge, has to follow the definition of knowledge which is a “true justified belief or certain understanding” (Knowledge). The definition of faith “which is the rational attitude towards a potential object of knowledge which arises when we are subjectively certain it is true even though we are unable to gain theoretical or objective certainty” (Philosophy Dictionary) .…

    As discussed in class, we looked into Tolkien's mind to observe his ideas on how fantasy stories should function in order to create a successful “world” for a reader to dive into. In an essay “On Fairy Stories,” written by Tolkien, he describes to us what he believes makes a “fairy story,” a “fairy story.” One of these rules he describes is Escape and the ways a story can connect, not only within itself but, with the reader in order to create a total immersion between the reader and book. When I had read Hard Boiled Wonderland and The End of the World by Haruki Murakami, it was clear to me that this was not a traditional “fairy story,” or as one that Tolkien would describe. This book written by Haruki Murakami does not create the feeling of…

    Christian religious tradition (or Christianity) has long been thought of as a set of dogmas, sacraments and moral attitudes linked with a belief and reverence in God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit as captured in the stores of the Bible. Within Biblical gospels one find descriptions of the many miracles Jesus Christ bestowed upon mankind, stories that became fundamental to Christian belief, where the faithful profess to the genuine nature of these stories as factual truths. Given the structure of the Christian religious traditions, Christian’s belief in miracles, expressions of divine intervention and the adherence to teachings, practices, and rituals associated with the faith with an established heritage and long history, many scholars…
