Fundamentalist Christianity

teachers’ but he doesn’t subscribe to the religiously fundamental view. Or as Schama puts it, Jefferson doesn’t believe Jesus to be a ‘water-walking, corpse-resuscitator’. He believes the new state of America should be guided by the morality of Christianity, but not be regulated by its religion. “It does me no injury for my neighbour to say there are twenty gods or no god. It neither picks my…

It seems that Horney’s childhood had a huge influence on her view of Christianity and its place in human lives. Her father, a sea captain, was a misogynistic fundamentalist who apparently thought – without taking into consideration that the sin was Adam’s, not Eve’s – that women were the source of all the evil in the world because Eve gave into temptation in the Garden. (Karen Horney & Erich Fromm: Psychoanalytic Social Psychology, p. 649) Living with an – at best – verbally abusive father who…

and that the church had no role in the believer’s salvation. This laid the foundation for evangelicals, such as John Wesley and others. So, what were some of the roots of early evangelicalism? How did they give rise to this movement? Evangelical Christianity in the eighteenth century represented something new. However, this was not new in the sense as it was a brand-new idea. As was previously mentioned, Luther espoused this much earlier. This was not an understanding that grew out of nothing,…

as I would want to be treated. I was raised in an extraordinarily Christian family and consequently I possess a thorough knowledge of biblical text, church history, and the typical views of Southern Baptist. It is, however, my in-depth study of Christianity that has led me to conclusion that there is either no god or if there is a god it certainly is not worthy of worship.

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. In 312 c.e., the Roman Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity, shortly thereafter declaring it…

compelling arguments that may make even the most devout of Christians to rethink their beliefs. Stated very basically, Christianity is an antiquated system of beliefs and morals that hinders our progress in the sciences, offers no moral advice that average human beings cannot figure out for themselves, and causes violence and bloodshed. The first and most basic problem with religion, Christianity in particular, is the fact that it is entirely based on faith that an omniscient, omnipresent God…

and Pentecostal are both 20 percent each and the last 10 percent being orthodox. These four big traditions of Christianity are all part of one family tree. Eastern Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism share common roots in the church of the old Christian Roman Empire and have histories that intertwine back to their roots, which trace back to Jesus and his disciples. Orthodoxy and Christianity had a slow separation starting around the year 300, mainly since…

alleged legal difference between West and East speculative. The evidence clearly points to a national, cultural and even linguistic unity between the Eastern and Western Romans that survived until the time when the Roman popes were replaced francs. Christianity is a monotheistic Abrahamic monotheistic religion based on the life and teachings attributed to Jesus of Nazareth, presented in the biblical canon and other New Testament writings. Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God and the…
