Christianity

Philosophy is a Greek word that simply means ones beliefs. Everyone of this Earth has a philosophy even if one does not realize it. In day to day events everyone shows their philosophies and beliefs. Christianity is a philosophy of the Christian people which states that a being by the name of God created the universe and man himself. In which man would turn against God and sin against him. Many people wonder how Christians just come up with this “story” and the answer is Christians gather their…

of Scientology, or harrumph Madonna and the red string that adorns her wrist as she walks into The Kabbalah Centre, some of the people passing judgment may be overlooking a religion that hits a little closer to home for many Americans, Christianity. While Christianity and exotic New Age spirituality may seem worlds apart, a newer form of Christian spirituality which is promoted as the “Prosperity Gospel”, mirrors many of the habits of its New Age counterparts from selling spiritual healing to…

The Cross The cross is a universal symbol of Christianity. You will find this symbol in many Christian rituals as well as all over the interior of Christian churches. Making a sign of the cross over a child during the baptism invokes God's protection and asks for entrance into the body of the Christian church. The cross is a symbol coming from Jesus' crucifixion on the cross. Jesus' death was his sacrifice to wipe clean all the sins of humans. The cross is one of the most familiar of all…

self-examination, it is probable each one would find several hypocrites in their midst. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for congregations to tolerate sinful marriages, gossip, and division. It should be no wonder some say what they do about hypocrisy in Christianity. We see a similar issue occur in the Scriptures. The prophet Ezekiel lived in the time prior to the destruction of Jerusalem, and God showed him what was going to happen and why. The action that would signal…

Christianity and Buddhism are both religions that have millions of devout followers all around this world. These religions are both very old and historical. They both come from a base that happened many years ago. These teachings are both based on a solitary man alone. For Buddhists their teachings were founded on Buddha. Buddha was born 500 years before Christ, in what is now Nepal. (Dowley, 207) His dad was a king, his mom was a queen, and his dad wanted him to take over the family business…

Morality of Christians Versus Atheists The thought of not believing in a God is a relatively new idea in the global aspect, while Christianity and other religions alike have been around for centuries upon centuries with the people having no choice but to follow the teachings of that religion or face persecution or even death. The question of the morality behind religions is a relatively a new one, popping up mostly on the twenty-first century. Morality by definition is “beliefs about what is…

Christianity is a curious religion. Having the most historically accurate holy book of any religion, and yet the most unbelievable stories mixed in as to be true. I concede that there is a god but whether he is a good god or just one god can never be proven in a million years without him coming down and showing us all. I don't believe christianity is a perfect religion in any stretch of the imagination. I want to talk about psychology, history, and science proving my views on christianity.…

This metaphorical similarity between Saint Nicholas and the Virgin Mary casts Christians as being realistic, moral, guiltless and acquitted from any wrongdoing. They are known as being mainly innocent, with little to no knowledge on being able to sin against God and his word. Christians in The Prioress’s Tale sustain a categorical, spiritual following for the Virgin Mary. They all worship her: And is this song maked in reverence Of Cristes mooder?” seyde this innocent. Now, certes, I wol do…

These people would usually stick to their own religious group and not bother with much other people at least depending on how open minded they may be to non-believers. Two specific religious groups who have had conflict for hundreds of years is Christianity and Islam. There have been many battles between these two but in today’s world away from the battlefield, there is a social difference and it may be obvious to see. In the past i have seen a show called “Muslim in a America.” In one episode…

Foot washing or Humility 1. Historical cultural meaning of foot washing If we look back in history we discover that foot washing in the time of Jesus was seen as good hospitality. This was particularly true where sandals were the main footwear. A good explanation of this can be found in the New World Encyclopedia. “A host would provide water for guests to wash their feet, serve the guests by washing their feet, or even provide a servant to wash the feet of the guests. This is mentioned in…
