Universal Salvation Research Paper

Decent Essays
Today we are determined to continue to work for greater racial and cultural diversity. All these efforts reflect a modern understanding of universal salvation. Our history has carried us from liberal Christian views about Jesus and human nature to a rich pluralism as our history continues to evolve and unfold, we need to let people be themselves. In the words of my son, Chris “people need to leave people alone, nobody has the right to tell anyone what to do. God say let him judge his flock.” I finally figured out what's worse between “hatred”, Hatred case religious problem, school shooting, gender inequality, deaths, and sadly, in today world so much more.

    One of the most common misconceptions of Americanized Christianity is this Christianity is, itself the perfect model of Christianity. Our manifest struggles with the meaning of Christianity, and its application within our social structure has set to define the United States as a “Christian” nation – that is a nation founded and built upon a foundation of Christian principle. This misguided idea has lead many to defend a quasi-theocracy that was never intended to be the fundamental tenet of our national existence. Throughout United States history, this quasi-theocracy, built upon jaded interpretation of biblical text, doctrine and dogma has been employed to divide, conquer and oppress humans in conditions such as chattel slavery as well as…

    It’s especially important that leaders of churches have DeAngelo’s mindset because, through their teaching, they can affect the mindsets of their congregation. This new perspective can open up a new form of ministry, reaching more people on a personal level than many denominations ever have. Although the Christian Churches Together’s response holds important and impactful points for society, DeAngelo’s discussion on “White Fragility” is more pertinent to the modern church and its…

    The above excerpt is a quote from W.E.B. Du Bois, an African American academic and cultural leader. Although Du Bois’ words are open to some degree of thematic interpretation, there is an undeniable message about the significance of conversations in his statement. I believe communication is the primary theme of this excerpt: productive discussions and constructive criticisms are not only beneficial but also necessary to education, inclusiveness, and democratic society as a whole. Communication is inherently crucial to education because of the format within which traditional learning occurs. Teachers select information and present it to students, but this presentation of information would be pointless without discourse to further develop students’ knowledge of the material.…

    It is important to understand our diverse America because we should know in the future how to change it. Our country should never be diverse, but instead, we should impact all of our races and make one, know as the American race. The land of opportunity and freedom should have no discrimination and no end to one’s dreams. We should all be treated the same exact way in this world. No race should be judged for the past or for what's to come.…

    The Heart of Racial Justice Review: The purpose of chapter six in The Heart of Racial Justice is to discuss the importance of embracing our true selves. Without being our true selves we will not be able to serve Christ fully. As Christians we have been taught that our cultural heritage and ethnic identity are unimportant to our Christian faith. Two important concepts are self-acceptance and self-hatred. Self-acceptance is the recognition you were created by God while self-hatred is rejection of the person God made you to be.…

    Hate can lead to many problems. Maya Angelou once said, “Hate, it has caused a lot of problems in the world, but has not solved one yet.” There are many kinds of hate, but, to put it simply, hatred is learned. Hate, in general, can lead to oppression, violence, and other kinds of conflict, and can be clearly seen within our society. Some of the many kinds or hatred are geared towards same-sex couples, certain religious people, as well as each other.…

Mrs. Eddy (as she is colloquially referred to by her followers) was the woman who came to found the Christian Science religion, based on the metaphysical New Thought movement, in 1879 (Christian Science, “What is Christian Science?”).

    The Wesley Understand of Human Salvation What is salvation? The salvation which is here spoken of is not what is frequently understood by the word, the going to heaven, eternal happiness. …… It is not a blessing which lies on the other side of death….it is a present thing….[it] might be extended to the entire work of God , from the first dawning of grace in the soul till it is consummated in glory (Maddox 143). Albert C. Outler noted that this sermon has the most extensive history of oral preaching behind it of any of the written sermons; therefore, he recommended it as the best single essay by which to judge Wesley’s soteriology (Maddox 323). Wesley denied here that human salvation is only a future hope; Wesley was also denying that it is…
