I am Catholic, I was raised by the Catholic faith, baptized, went through Catechism and had confirmation. But, I do have my own personal beliefs. Although there are doctrines of the Catholic church; I do not completely agree with a few of them. My personal faith is to just try the best you can in life and yes live by the word of God, but if I mess up along the way then it 's ok I 'm only human. God does forgive but only if your really mean it and ask for forgiveness. Although I have own beliefs…

The Doctrine of Atonement is perhaps one of the most fundamental beliefs of Christianity. There are many conflicting and similar views held by great theological thinkers of the atonement. In this paper we will discuss the views held by Wesleyan-Armenian’s, Calvinists, and several liberal on the doctrine of atonement. There are many complex ideas and doctrines that also tie into the doctrine of atonement that also need to be explained in depth such as the wrath of God, forgiveness of sins, and…

scrutiny if it is a religion and if it should be taxed. Scientology had tax exempt in 1957, but lost in in 1967, and regained exemption in October 1993. It is a grey area if Scientology is a religion in definition and in comparison to others; such as Christianity, Catholicism, Mormon, and Muslim. Organized religion is not taxed in the United States, therefore if Scientology is not found as a religion it should then lose its tax exemption once again. This grey line could be eliminated if religion…

Back in 1852, Church of Latter Day Saints announced the doctrine of polygamy and while most Mormons do not practice in plural marriages, studies show that 20% still belong to plural families. This is not practiced in Christianity and is considered illegal. Another Church of Latter Day Saints practice that is different than most Christians, excluding some Catholics, is Mormons are discouraged in use birth control which explains why so many Mormons have such large…

I understand to do theology is to think systematically about the fundamental ideas of Christianity. It is an intellectual reflection on the act, content and implications of the Christian faith. Theology also helps me to better understand Christian doctrine, to make comparisons between Christianity and other religions, to defend Christianity against objections and criticism and to draw on the resources of the Christian tradition to address contemporary situation. I note that it is impossible…

My personal opinion is not that it hurts the religion itself, but more the appearance of it. Christianity has such a profound and long standing reputation, and upwards of 2 million followers, do I don’t see it having too much damage control to worry about. There are some that believe Evangelism is motivated by fear rather than love, and that it is…

William Channing to preach a ‘’Unitarian Christianity.’’ This was to make the faith ‘’reasonable’’ by rejecting all miraculous elements of the New Testament and of Christian doctrine. Thus the Trinity is rejected because if God is one then God is not three; if Jesus is a man, he cannot also be God. Channing and those who followed his teaching trusted in human progress to reach moral decisions and not on the divine Spirit. They did not hold to the atonement through the death of Christ but…
