Christians Have Same Beliefs Another point that supports the argument is that Christians all have the same basic beliefs, that there is one God and they all believe in Jesus and his teachings, and they only argue on the way of worshiping him if the different dominations were to come together they would find out they have more things in common than they don't, as this is a known fact it shows the unity in the different church groups. Part of being and living as a Christian, is loving others and therefore means that the churches should join to should their love for one another. Strong reasons way Christians should come together are when Jesus prayed to God asking him to keep his followers united it proved that Jesus /God wanted the church to be united and his decision should come first above all arguments that say the differences are too great to overcome. An additional strong reason that the church should unite is that if they were it would mean the message of God would be stronger as no other Christian group could contradict what another group says, this would result in the message being spread and more people would become Christians. The Ecumenical Movement is the movement towards unity among Christian churches. The first ecumenical councils of the church were held at Nicaea in 325, the people that attended were representatives from churches throughout the known world. In the 19th century, the term ecumenical came to stand for to the Roman Catholic Churchs'concern for Christian unity and for a rebirth of the church.

If a group of people who believe in the same thing cannot join together then the world will always be at war. In the bible it says 'love thy neighbor' if Christians can't even follow a commandment given to them by God then is no hope. As all Christians believe they are children of God and they are at war with one another this then means they are at war with their brothers and sister, and therefore God. Which would be going against the one they worshipped which would be wrong. Therefore making it clear that Christians should unite for their own sake. --------------------------------------------------------------------- [1] Encarta'95 Microsoft
Islam and Christianity seem to have very little in common; however, the two actually show strong likeness, principally in the central areas. Both Muslims and Christians are monotheists, believing in one God. While both believe in the same God, He is called by two completely different names.

Christianity and Islam provide human society with a code of ethics, which totally rejects war because it is something violent, inhumane and cruel.

Hinduism and Christianity are two religions that have been around for thousands of years. Both of these religions have developed many philosophies on different aspects that can be compared to show their similarities and differences. The Hindu and Christian religion agree on many things. Based on humanity, our society follows some of the rules also because of the religion and laws. From the holy literature, there have been many different concepts that have been pledged but they all are supposed to lead you to the same effects such as a happy, healthy life, contribution to the world around us humans, and some kind of freedom after death.

It also teaches that Jesus is the only way to be set free from the coming judgment of God and that Jesus desires his values and his standards to abound.
