Recommended: Development of Christianity

Christianity is the most widely worshiped religion in the world, with over 2 billion believers backing the group and upholding the overall belief of God. Christians believe that God is there one true deity and that he is their creator. God created the world, he crated mankind in his image, and he shaped everyone and everything to what it is today. He sent his only son Jesus down to earth to die for our sins on the cross so that we could live and forever be forgiven for our sins. The question to this essay is what is the nature of God? What is God like for a Christian believer? Three key beliefs that I will be discussing to explain what God is like for a Christian is: Creator, Trinity/Triune and Saviour/Redeemer. Also a few similarities and differences will be included to show what we do and don’t have in common with religion of Hinduism.

Probably one of the most reverent key beliefs in the whole of Christianity as a religion, is Creator, God is the creator of our lives and our world. God is everything we believe and worship in, for mankind was created in the image of God himself. He created the lands we walk on, he created us, and he created the heavens and everything underneath it that we see today. God spoke this vast universe into being. Written it says in Genesis 1:3 And God said... and it was so. Christians have this undenying belief in God and that he is the almighty and powerful one, he did create this world, he did create us and everything around us. He is this powerful and a holy person to them and in their minds he is the one and only God that they will ever worship, he is pure, as the first of the 10 commandments say ‘Thou shalt no have no other Gods before me”. The lord forgives and gives second chances to those who...

...Tri means three and Unity means one Tri-Unity cut down to Trinity, which really is three in one, the basic concept of the doctrine that defines it. As a wider implication, a lot of Christians take their God seriously with their beliefs in what the bible says God did. When we come to worship we all come together on one day of the week and have a service and pray. Most Christians will come together on a small Sunday morning service to come together to discuss God and the Bible and to singing to the lord himself and to pray to him. Together we pray not for the Father, not for The Son and not for the Holy Spirit either, but instead we pray for the three combined and working together as one to create this wonderful image of God for us. For the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit as one joined in union with the Christianity population backing them every step of the way.

    Through the close study of two of the aspects shown in the diagram, their contributions allow Christianity to be considered a living religious tradition. The significant contributions of Pope John XXIII, during both his papal and Pre-papal life have had everlasting effects on not only Catholicism, but Christianity as a whole and lead to the sense of Christianity being a living religious tradition. His works include two Papal encyclicals, Mater et Magistra and Pacem in Terris, along with his work being Apostolic Delegate of Greece and Turkey. Moreover, The significant practice of Baptism has further contributed to Christian being considered a living religious tradition as it accounts for the premise of most Christian beliefs to be initiated, especially in terms of salvation and affirming the beliefs in the trinity and following the teachings of Jesus Christ.

    In light of Craig Stern’s excerpts, from the book, A Higher Law by Jeffrey A. Brauch, he writes concerning four Christian ideas-doctrines “Four Christian ideas-doctrine in fact-are both especially important to that religion and especially important to the rule of law in the common law tradition.” Stern’s begin to explain what formulates the doctrinal belief of the Christian faith. “The first of these is the doctrine of God himself, that is, his being and his work.” By this, Stern’s means that God is the creator of all things he is the beginning and the end. “The Christian faith holds that God is the “I AM,” the uncreated creator of all that is, who is from everlasting to everlasting.” He is also the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, a God of relationship, of covenant. In this way, he is both transcendent and immanent.”

    1682 Words  | 4 Pages

The practical and ritual dimension involves rituals and practices that provide spiritual awareness of adherents. The emotional and experiential dimension includes the life changing experiences that either the leaders or followers of a religion go through. Narrative and mythical dimension are the stories and past records that preserve tradition and culture in the religion. Ethical and legal dimension of the religion are basically the codes of behavior that are followed and expected within the religion. The doctrinal and philosophical dimension is the belief system created by leaders for believers. Social and Institutional dimension is the organizational structure of the religion.

    Is God a Christian written by Kirby Godsey is a very powerful book that forces its readers to take an introspective journey into not only one self’s religious beliefs, but also the fundamentals of one 's morals, judgment, and principals. Godsey begins his book by answering the title of his book. He believes that God is not tied to any single religion, like Christianity. That rather, the presence, feelings, and support of God should be perceived through a combination of beliefs, experiences, and perhaps even religions in order to understand the entirety of God.

    We live in a world where religion is all around us. But why is everyone so interested in finding that right religion? Well, many believe that it will reconnect them with who they truly are and give them a reason why they are here on earth. Religion is a system of beliefs that involves the worship of God or gods, prayer, rituals, ceremonies, and a moral code. Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, and Judaism are religions that are primary based on these things but one thing that they all have in common is that they recognize or sense a power higher than themselves and seek to follow it.

  • The Doctrine of the Trinity

    879 Words  | 2 Pages

    The doctrine of the Trinity, as seen in the Christian bible, is primary to the Christian faith. The word “Trinity” does not actually appear in the bible; it is a theological label meant to summarize certain teachings of certain passages of scripture, and is crucial to properly understand what God is like, how He relates to us, and how we relate to Him. It may also raise many difficult questions including what does it mean that God is a Trinity? While it is difficult for us to fully understand everything about the trinity, it is quite possible to answer questions like this one and come to a solid grasp of what it means for God to be three in one.

  • A History of Christianity

    1064 Words  | 3 Pages

    Christianity is one of the world’s most widely practiced religions and has a long history spanning back over two-thousand years. Some might say that its history might go back even farther to include the history of Judaism because there are prophets in Hebrew scripture who foretold the coming of Jesus Christ, who Christians believe to be the Messiah that God promised the Jewish people. This paper discusses how Christianity influences our society today, some of its history along with some of our beliefs. However, it is impossible to tell the complete history of Christianity in just one essay because for all two thousand years it has been in existence, there are literally thousands of things to talk about. The construction of our religious buildings, the Crusades, how the Protestant Reformation branched it out into what it is today, any of these things can and have been made into essays, books, and even movies on their own. That being said, it will touch on each of the questions which were asked in the assignment and will add a bit more depth on a few other things which are considered very important to the history of Christianity.

  • Theology of Youth Ministry

    There are many different characteristics that could be used to describe God. I think one of the important characteristics of God is the Trinity. God is three persons in one, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Grudem states that there are three statements that summarize the Trinity, “God is three persons, each person is fully God, and there is one God” (231). The smaller understanding of God means the less that we know about Him. I think that this is a true statement because we tend to only know a little bit about God, yet there is so much more to him then what we actually know. You may have grown up in a Christian home your whole life and know all the “church knowledge” about God, but the likelihood that we know everything is not likely true.
