Decent Essays
Christianity, unlike my two previous examples, doesn’t belong to specific region, and no specific region only worships Christianity. However, it is a very popular religion in the United States.

The next day, God creates land, and differentiates it from water. He also called for the Earth to produce fruits and vegetables, and suddenly trees and plants were bearing food. On the third day, God created the stars, sun, and moon, and time (seasons,

    In the Readings on Early Christianity, there are three major figures of early Christianity introduced: St. Antony, St. Augustine, and St. Patrick. Each Saint had their story, journey, and reasoning to believe in what they believed in. Especially in the spiritual and physical realms aspect, their beliefs may be similar, but one is definitely more convinced than the others that “the spiritual is as real as the physical.” Unlike the other major leaders exposed in this booklet, St. Patrick is a great example of this assumption due to his thankfulness of God’s grace on his life and of others, his gift from God, and the differences he made on countless of lives. St. Patrick had an unbelievable journey in his life that made him appreciate God’s grace.…

    Genesis says that God created the heavens and the earth, but in the next few verses the distinction is made between the sky and the heavens. This distinction is made when God creates a “vault” to separate the water from the water, which created the sky in between these two sets of water (Genesis 1). In the Native American story the touching of sky and water caused the creation of the First World (Navajo Creation Story). In the Christian tradition the end of God’s six days of creation signified the creation of Earth and of the Garden of Eden (Genesis 1). This is important because both of those locations were considered holy places and were signified as perfect.…

The first-century of Christianity was described as a “spiritual explosion” and the second and third centuries was said to have “provided the channel for this power” (Shelley 27).
