CHRISTIANITY QUESTIONS

1. The one belief that unites all Christians is the belief in Jesus Christ. Christians believe that the only way to achieve salvation is to believe that Jesus died and rose again in order to save humanity from its sins.
Christians believe that Jesus will one day return to earth.
Christians also believe in original sin (all humans are born with sin that was passed down to them from Adam and Eve).
Christians believe that there is a heaven and a hell.
Christians believe that the Holy Bible is the word of God.

2. The death of Jesus was significant because Jesus’s death was the complete and final, once for all sacrifice for the sins of the world.
Each spring, millions of people acknowledge …show more content…
For Christians and the church the Holy Spirit lives inside the Christian and guides the actions of those who desire His presence. The Spirit empowers the believer to step outside his comfort zone to do extraordinary acts of faith for God. Being filled with the Spirit involves transforming their minds to the mind of Christ as we engage in spiritual activities. Walking in the Spirit leads to a sense of peace and joy. Violating their conscience through acts of disobedience leads to a loss of filling by the Holy Spirit, which takes away their joy and peace. Although God will not take the Holy Spirit away from a disciple of Jesus Christ, the continual practice of sin and a lack of spiritual activities will lead to a life that is no different than the life of a …show more content…
They all record His baptism, the feeding of the 5,000 from five loaves and two fishes, Mary's anointing of the Lord Jesus, His prayer in the garden of Gethsemane, His betrayal, trial, crucifixion, death, burial and resurrection. However, each writer does so in a slightly different way, recording additional details or emphasizing one aspect more than the others.

5. The Christian doctrine of the Trinity defines God as three divine persons, the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. The three persons are distinct, yet are one "substance, essence or nature". A nature is what one is, while a person is who one is.

6. Christianity originated in the city of Jerusalem in 
present-day Israel. The founder of Christianity, Jesus Christ, was born 
in the small town of Bethlehem, just a few miles southwest of Jerusalem. 
He was raised in the town of Nazareth in the region of Galilee, about one hundred miles north of Jerusalem. However, prophecy demanded that the 
Messiah come to Jerusalem, riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a 
donkey. The faith spread through a multitude of believers and missionaries who traveled around encouraging people to join “the

    Early Christianity Research Paper

    The history of Christianity goes back into Jewish ancestry and revolves around the 300 prophecies in the Old Testament, which reveals the upcoming of a Jewish Messiah who would be a Savior of humanity. Around 2000 years ago this prophecy was fulfilled by the birth of Jesus from the Virgin Mary in the town of Bethlehem in the land of Israel. He brought a hope of delight to the poor and rejected ones. The New Testament book of Luke (1:26-38) and Matthew (1:18-25) explains the virgin birth of Jesus. The birth of Jesus Christ also claimed a revolution and the revival of the teachings of Judaism. In the beginning Christianity was considered as a sect of Judaism. As Jesus said, "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." (Matthew 5:17). But later on, the teachings of Jesus established the foundation of Christianity. The concept of salvation and eternal peace blessed the gloomy hearts.…

    Christianity vs Buddhism

    The concept of God within Christianity differs depending on the angle one chooses to look upon it.

In the second part God, the son he is Jesus a son of god who was sent to our world to die for all of our sins.

Christianity was formed when Jesus died on the cross, Christianity preaches what Jesus taught before he was killed, due to Jesus being killed in Jerusalem this is therefore the birthplace of Christianity. Christianity was a whole new religion with new beliefs and a new God although the early Christian church was believed to begin with a sect of the Jews, Judaism. Jesus Christ was a peacemaker and he aimed to bring peace to those who would listen and to stop injustice. Jesus was against war, he was against all types of violence and he preached that anyone could be forgiven and their sins could disappear although there had to be peace and everyone was to be treated equally. “For God so loved the World that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” Jesus Christ.

    My Thoughts About Worldviews

    The Christian worldview includes monotheism which is the belief in one God. Not only do Christians believe in a personal, knowable Creator but he believes in the Trinity. The Trinity is God being in three parts: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. To most people, this is very confusing because they don’t understand how God can be three in one. In this case, Christians go to heaven not because of their works but because of God’s grace. God displayed His grace when He died on the cross for us. Christians get most of their information from the Bible. This is the foundation for a Christian’s philosophy.…

    The theology of the Trinity has been debated for centuries, as well as how God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are three separate identities, but all one God, all divine in nature. One must look at the early forefathers of theology and their doctrine on the Trinity and how the location such as East and the West looked at it from different views.

The majority of Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God others believe Jesus Christ and God are one and the same. Jesus Christ in Christianity is consider to be the Messiah. But in Islam he is believed to be just a prophet. That a discussion held letter in this essay. Christianity teaches that Jesus Christ was sent to earth to die for are sins. Sin was first created when Adam and Eve “Perfect Humans” ate from the forbidden tree. Ever since then, they were cast out of the Garden of Eden, humans became mortal, have to physically work harder to receive nourishment from the earth, all of women would have to bear pain during child birth.

    Religious Knowledge

    Christianity was founded in the 1st century in the Levant region of the Middle East by Jesus of Nazareth, who is prophesied in the Old Testament to be the Christ or chosen one of God. The fathers of Christianity included those who had been disciples of Jesus such as Peter, Matthew, James and John as well as others who may have never met him but were influenced by his teachings, such as the Gospel writers Mark and Luke. Christianity initially spread from Jerusalem throughout the near East, into places such as Syria, Assyria, Phoenicia, Jordan and Egypt. In the 4th century, it was successfully adopted as the state religion by Armenia in 301, Georgia in 319, the Aksumite Empire in 325, and the Roman Empire in 380. It became common to all of Europe in the Middle Ages and expanded throughout the world during Europe’s Age of Exploration from the Renaissance onwards to become the world’s largest religion. Throughout its history, Christianity has weathered persecutions,…

    The person of the Holy Spirit

    Webster starts his argument by stating that “There is a need to ensure a properly pluralist doctrine of the Trinity, one, that is, in which threeness is understood as fundamental to God’s unity”. First of all, it must be clear that the Christian belief in the Trinity is not the belief in three gods, but the belief in three people who participate in the divine nature of the full and integral God. It is the event of the peace of the divine life between Father, Son, and the Spirit. In addition, the notion of “person” as applied to God, is constituted in relationship and dialogue. God's relationship with his son was notorious from the baptism of Jesus and the person of the Holy Spirit who also was present at the time (Matthew 3:16 -17/Luke. 3:21 -22). Through Jesus Christ, we are allowed to get to know God, and to have a personal relationship with the creator.…

    My Personal Religion

    All three, God, the son, and the Holy Spirit are one, which is love. A Christian's core belief system basically boils down to what's in the heart and in the heart should be nothing but love. Unfortunately, our heart's isn't naturally overflowing with the love. The heart takes time to blossom because as humans, we really don't know what true love is, we only know the love the world has taught us and that love is selfish/ false. We learn true love when we build a loving relationship with God and that requires a lot of patience, faith, time and God's help.…
