Christian Response To Research Paper

Christians today need to grow in love and to show that love through concern and service for the well-being of others. We need to put the care and well-being of others above our care and concern for ourselves. We need to love all people, not just the ones that are like us, or that are nice, or that can help us get what we want. This love for people will reflect God’s love for all people which He made clear by His laws in the Old Testament and the sacrificial death of Christ for our sins in the New Testament.

In the Christian community, every single person plays an important role in making the community as safe and caring as possible. One of the most vital beliefs of a Christian is that we are all equal, so we when we are called to serve and help each other, we should obey. This call, although we may hear it at different times and see it in different ways, the call comes to everyone. We may have different understanding of the call, or we may even conflicting ideas of how to answer this call, but in the end, every single idea is important.

Ever since I was six years old, the year I was baptized, I have been on fire for the Lord. I attended a Christian school for eight years and have always been very involved at my church. My first experience outside of my “Christian bubble” was when I went to a public high school. For the first time in my life, I was out of my comfort zone. Being at a public school challenged my faith, strengthened my leadership skills, and forced me to branch out and meet people I would have never encountered otherwise. However, even though being at a public school helped strengthen my faith in ways I would have never guessed, I believe attending a Christian university—like Liberty—is the best choice to further my education. Going to college is new and exciting, but it can also be a demanding and intimidating experience. Being so far away from home, in a different environment,

In today’s extremely competitive, job-scarce economy, having a college degree is now a steadfast requirement when applying to even entry-level professional jobs. Choosing a college has always been a challenging task for high school seniors, but it is now fraught with stress and anxiety for nearly every adult who seeks to further their education. Questions abound: what school offers the exact program I desire? What school is in the best location, or has the best campus? What school feels ‘right’?

Christians are called to help others, but when they give and give and do not take time to care for themselves or say no to some requests that cross their boundaries. Jesus was found retreating from crowds to spend time in prayer with God displaying the importance of soul care, Jesus ate with His disciples fueling His body, He took time to rest and sleep, and He maintained important friendships. In coming to earth Jesus showed how to maintain balance between self and personal care as well as establishing healthy boundaries so He could care for Himself and in return care for

Because mankind was made in God’s image, Christians aspire to follow the footsteps of Jesus as he leads the pathway to the Kingdom of God. So just as Jesus, “healed the leper, the paralyzed, the blind, the deaf, and many who suffer from many diseases,” followers of the gospel are called to “pass through this world doing good.” Not only did Jesus heal, but he turned it around and allowed the once sick to heal. They became “agents of healing and invited to be agents of their own destiny” (Saying and Showing, pg. 31). And as Christians, the gospel calls them to do the same, focusing their attention to the “most abandoned and mistreated” and help bring them to be a part of society.

Christian Science is an ongoing religious cult that was started in the early nineteenth century. Mary Baker Eddy was the original founder who started the idea in the United States during 1879. After a thirty-five year revision period, she finished the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. The textbook was finally published in 1875, which stated all the beliefs of Christian Science. Some of the beliefs include the tenets of Christian Science. Each tenet explains what a Christian Scientist believes about God, the Bible, and Jesus.

There is a huge problem going on in Christianity. There are many people who claim to be Christian, but yet they are sinless perfectionists. That is heresy! I heard a man this week say, "I am not sinning now and I plan on not sinning in the future." What does the Bible say? 1 John 1:8 if we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If you claim to be living a perfect life you are in danger of Hell fire! I heard a woman say,"why can't you live in perfection like me?" She didn't understand how arrogant and how prideful she was.

As I entered the Starbucks, I surveyed the room in search of my older sister. Her black Nike backpack stood out amongst the other colorful ones on the floor. Taking my place in the empty seat beside my sister, all three women at the table greeted me with warm smiles. Their smiles seemed to pacify my anxiety of meeting new people.A small white sign sat at the corner of the table reading “ Share a story for some candy!”. Recognizing two out of the three women at the table I introduced myself to the young lady beside me. As she continued the conversation, they began to find things they could find in common. “ Oh, you go to Colorado Community Church too? I love your Pastor!” As the conversation came to an end, we all exchanged hugs and contact information.I walked with both Renee and her partner to another meeting space on campus.

What is Christian Science? Who is Mary Baker Eddy? Where does Christian Science come from? Is Christian Science like Scientology? What are Christian Science beliefs? Why are we here and where do we go when we die? These question may be raised when you hear Christian Science. Christian Science is unique in its own way, it may not seem all that amazing like other religions but Christian Science is truly amazing over all. Some people refer to Christian Science as non-Christian or an a cult, but that’s not true. Christian Science is a religion that formed more slowly than other religions but is still a good religion.

Response: “Almost all the prophets did not want to become prophets, for an example Moses said he was not eloquent enough; Isaiah said he was a man of unclean lips; Jonah ran the opposite direction. Jeremiah, too, was not seeking the office of prophet when the Lord called him but God said He sanctified and ordained him a prophet to the nations before he was formed within his mother’s womb (Jer. 1:5 NKJV). He knew his strengths and weaknesses and He divinely empowered him and commissioned him to predict destruction and restoration (http://www.bible.ca/ef/expository-jeremiah-1-5-10.htm).

Shame for being a Christian, and believing in Jesus can go two ways, it could motivate the person to do better learn more, or it could make the person go the other way. Always in the end, what one does with shame determines what happens

There are several reasons why I have the religious affiliation that I do. My membership, unlike that of so many, has very little to do with the choices my friends and family have made. My decision was based on reason and personal experiences. While some may say that these things are both easily influenced by parents and peers, in my case I have parents of different faith and therefore have less direct influence from them.

As Christians today, we have a tendency not to think about how it is that Christianity came to be our known and widely accepted religion. We’re born and raised most often in the Christian faith while being surrounded by of our friends, family, and other acquaintances, the majority of whom are also Christian or at least professing to be. We’re brought to church on Sunday mornings, many times Sunday and Wednesday evenings, we sing, praise, pray and we listen to a sermon. All the while never questioning how it is that this became the norm of our society; never questioning the influences of Christianity. What becoming a Christian in that time period would have meant, or why people chose to convert, if, that is, they had a choice at all.

Christian Tradition course exposed me to the Christian Tradition based on Biblical and church history. The course taught me the differences and similarities of Christian Tradition from other major world religions. I learned about the significance of God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the Trinity based on the teachings of the Bible. The course also briefly covered 2,000 years of church history but with emphasis on the impact of the Council of Nicea, Council of Chalcedon, and John and Charles Wesley on Christianity. The professor emphasized the importance of the reformation that sparked a revolution in the church.
