Assignment #2- Christianity
Christianity is a monotheistic religion which follows the teachings of Jesus, the son of God and also God in the flesh, as well as the teaching of the Old Testament. Followers of the religion believe that Jesus was sent to earth to die for our sins, so that we may be forgiven and enter the kingdom of Heaven.
The Beatitudes
These are teachings of Jesus to his followers that demonstrate desirable attitudes for Christians to have. Jesus teaches the virtues of being humble, of seeking absolution for past sins, of being obedient, of forgiving others, of being kind, of spreading peace, and of having faith despite all opposition. Jesus also says his followers will be persecuted for their beliefs, but tells them that those who have faith will be rewarded.
The Law
Jesus says that his teaching should not replace those of the Old Testament, but rather that they are a supplement. The rules set out by God are still valid, and those who say otherwise won’t be accepted into heaven.
Sincerely Motivated Faith and Works
In the Old Testament it was stated that you shouldn’t kill. Here, it is also stated that you shouldn’t say bad things about others. If you insult your brother you will be condemned to Hell. He also teaches that before you can offer your gifts to God at the altar,

They therefore have a lot of common theology such as the story of creation and tales of Moses and Noah, with Judaism being much older than Christianity. They both believe in the same God- the God of Abraham. Where the main difference lies is that Christians believe that Jesus is the messiah, God in the flesh, sent to save humanity. Those who practice Judaism also don’t believe in the resurrection of Jesus nor do they believe in his second coming, meaning they worship only God, not the Holy Trinity. Christians however believe in the resurrection of Christ as well as the Father, Son, and Holy

The origin of Christianity was from Jesus Christ, they believe that he was the Son of God and he rose from the dead. His disciples spread Christianity through out the entire Roman Empire in 30 CE. The Roman Emperor Constantinople issued the famous Edict of Milan, and he declared Christianity to be a legal religion. Christianity was not yet the official religion until 380 under Emperor Theodosius. Christianity is a religion built on the life and words of Jesus of Nazareth also known as Jesus Christ. Christianity emerged from Judaism. It is founded on teachings, life, and death of Jesus Christ, and those who follow Jesus Christ are called "Christians.

One thing common between these two religions is that they both are monotheistic and believe that there is only one god. Something that is different is that the Judaism started around 1900 BC unlike Islam which started in the 7th century. Both religions are also disparate when it comes to devotion. The Muslim spend so much time everyday to pray for their god Allah unlike the Jewish. The Jewish are very religious when it comes to special events like marriage but during daily they aren 't that dedicated as the Muslim. Another difference is that the Muslims day of worship is on Friday unlike the Jewish which is on Saturday. Most of the Jewish live in Europe and the United States in contrast to the majority of the Muslim who are inhabited in the Middle East, and Southeast
All of the religions in the world are great. However, there is one that always seems to catch everyone’s interest and that is Christianity. Christianity is one of the largest growing religions and traditions in the world. But why is it one of the largest growing religions in the world? What is Christianity? What are their teachings? Christianity is the religious tradition based on the life and teaching of Jesus of Nazareth also known as Jesus Christ. Christians believe that Jesus is the Messiah. Everything that the Christians know about him comes from the four Gospels written by, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, which can be found in the New Testament. So, what is a Messiah? The Jews believed that the Messiah would come and present to them a new world free from Roman power and bring about a greater national prosperity. They were expecting not a humble servant of God but a literal king or military leader. Therefore, when investigators want to learn more about Jesus the Messiah and his teachings they can refer to the Four Gospels. Many Christians focus on four of Jesus teachings. They are: The “Kingdom of God” has arrived and is present among us, Love ...
Both Christianity and Judaism are religions that have some relationship between them as much as they also have differences. Judaism and Christianity developed on the basis obeying God, on adherence to his rules and fulfillment of God’s will is a duty of a Jewish or Christian person, both religions fall into the rule deontological category.
Althoughthe two religions share some of the same beliefs, there are vital differences between the two. Judaism is called the religion of the Jews and was the first faith to believe in one God. Christianity then followed that belief. Both religions are based on monotheism (that there is only one God).
My Christian worldview is based upon the doctrinal truth that Jesus Christ is not just a master teacher, but that He is God. I am not willing to change that, but what I am willing to do is make adjustments or amendments or corrections to my worldview surrounding the foundational truth that Jesus Christ is God (Joh 1:1; 1:14, 10:30 KJV). I do not pretend to be an authority on all Scripture, but I do know that the one who is the authority lives in me and speaks to me and through me to others. The Bible speaks to me and tells me “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works (2Tim 3:16-17 KJV). I want to put emphasis on reproof and correction because the Word of God is so deep that there are things that my understanding is in part or in error. I thank God for the Holy Spirit who will not allow me to continue in error and makes a way for correction and reproof.
Christianity borrows many aspects from Judaism. The Old Testament Hebrew Scriptures were used in the early teachings, however the Christian believers interpreted the scriptures in a different manner. This interpretation leads to a fundamental shift in ideology between Jews and Christians. In addition to scripture, Christianity adopted many worship rituals practiced within the Jewish synagogue; such as prayers, baptisms, and communion. Christianity of today still practices these sacred ritu...

Catholicism is a monotheistic religion, they believe that the messire Jesus Christ was sent by God to earth to die for the people to forgive them of all their sins.

Although both religions believe in monotheism, Judaism is based on an absolute deity called Yahweh. The beginning of the Jewish religion and the creation of the world is told throughout the Tanakh or the Hebrew Bible. And the Jewish teachings are known as the Torah. However, the five books of Moses are taught to be the most sacred books of all the scriptures. Just like Muslims, Jews believe that there was prophets that God sent to spread his word, but they do not stand on the belief that just one prophet heard revelations. They belief that all the prophets heard them and there teachings can be found in the Bible. The Jews feel that history begins the same way as the Muslims with the creation of the world by God, but after this they tend to veer off from the Islamic beliefs. They believe that God sent “patria...
The belief in one God, monotheism is a common practice in today’s world for many religions but when God made his covenant with Abraham, monotheism was practically new and an unpracticed view in the world. Muslims, Christians, and Jews are three religions that have this common belief in monotheism. But while these three religions are monotheistic and have the same belief, each of these religions have essentially different views and ideas on what monotheism is and what it means to their religion.
