Christian Worldview : Christianity, Islam, Hindu, Jewish, And Judaism

Followers of monotheistic religions such as Islam, Judaism, and Christianity they demand in their sacred doctrine that followers spread their religion to others. The also requires that they change the human culture around them. When Judaism as a worldview is examined they constantly are trying to reform human culture, for example, Moses only has to get the Ten Commandments because mankind could not culturally conform to Gods commands so God had to tell Moses these essential rules so that mankind can conform to an Israel cultural code of ethics. In Christianity, the Christ gives his followers the great commission and tells crowds numerous times about the laws, social norms, how to treat people, how to heal and build up one another. In

The first rule and most important commandment in my opinion is to treat others the way you want to be treated. This is a very basic and well known unwritten rule but yet not many people abide by this rule. People tend to treat others as if they are of less importance or of lower class. Everyone is equal and everyone has the same rights so nobody should feel

The Ten Commandments are regarded as the fundamental laws that all Christians are to conform to. They were written by the hands of God himself and revealed to Moses on Mount Sinai, inscribed on two stone tablets. They offer basic rules of behaviour for spiritual and moral living to Christians. These laws still instruct Adherents today, for they expose sin and show us God's standard. Without the sacrifice of Christ, Adherents are completely helpless to live up to God's holy standard.

— It is Christianity To Do Good always — even to those who do evil to us. It is Christianity to love our neighbour as ourself, and to do to all men as we would have them Do to us. It is Christianity to be gentle, merciful, and forgiving, and to keep those qualities quiet in our own hearts, and never make a boast of them, or of our prayers or of our love of God, but always to shew that we love Him by humbly trying to do right in everything. If we do this, and remember the life and lessons of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and try to act up to them, we may confidently hope that God will forgive us our sins and mistakes, and enable us to live and die in Peace. [The Life of Our Lord, Ch. 11, p. 474 of The Everyman

Each religion follows some kind of form of the ten commandments. Even if you are not religious most people still follow them, nations based their laws on

Religion plays a huge role in today’s day and age. In fact, religion has been of huge importance since cavemen were, well, cavemen. Religion is the factor that keeps many people going in life but at the same time, the same reason our world has so many problems and has been torn apart. Through studying the main tenets in call, Judaism, Christianity and Islam were analyzed for weeks. Christianity and Islam take the cake for the two biggest religions in today’s population however, Judaism plays the smallest role. These three religions, although different, are easily able to be compared and contrasted because of all of the history and information we have attained towards these separate beliefs. I think it is crucial that these religions be studied by people all around the world so that we can be understanding towards other religions, not just our own. Through religious beliefs, things we can learn through teachings and comparing and contrasting we can learn more about Judaism, Islam and Christianity.

The ability of influence that an authority has on a person or group of people displays their power. Power emanates from knowledge. The practices belonging to specific religions exhibit their own sense of authority. Christianity is a monotheistic religion that bases their faith on the teachings of Jesus Christ. Judaism is an ancient monotheistic religion that bases their faith with the study of the Torah. Christianity is the largest practiced religion in the world and Judaism is the tenth largest. In the mid first century, Christianity began as a second temple Judaism. This being the time between the construction of the second temple in Jerusalem and the destruction of it which occurred in 70 CE. For Judaism, the second temple period was a time when challenges were asserted in reference to the variety of fluctuations based on the mainstream way of Judaism. Each of these religions follow specific practices and have their own study and understanding of authority.

Monotheistic religions can range from all types of extremities from around the world. Monotheistic religion refers to the belief in a single, universal God. Common examples are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam (answers.com). There are different types ranging from different regions yet; some could be so similar at the same time in their teachings. Islamic and Christianity religions are two of the biggest religions in the world and are so different and in some aspects the same. The two religions also share some rivalries that have been displayed in the media because of the view that Islam has on the Christianity culture. I will be further exploring the beginnings of both religions and the teachings that it has passed down to generations. First of all, I will be discussing Christianity and its humble beginnings. I will explore the views of anthropologist and the teachings of this religion. Second, I will be exploring the Islamic religion and its humble beginnings. I will be discussing anthropologist points of view of the Islamic religion and its teachings. Finally, I will be closing with the differences that these two religions have and how it has affected people around the world with the disagreements that both sides have in their style of teachings and its implemented actions that one has to follow.

Another way in which Christians are respectful to their holy book in everyday life is by following the teachings that the Bible contains, practically a second law of how they should live (the political law being the first).

This belief system influences people to live a good, spiritual life dedicated to God and to do good deeds in order to enter the kingdom of God called heaven. Worshipers follow the Ten Commandments such as “Thou shall not steal” and “Thou shall not kill” in order to be good Christians and be blessed by the Lord our Father. Christianity, if practiced literally, it would altogether eliminate wars and bring peace to the world. Christianity introduced schools in churches and monasteries to educate the poor and nobility. Christianity also influenced artists in the works that they produced. Music has also been influenced such as gospel and spiritual songs. The symbol of the Cross has been used in many different ways such as jewelry with a variety of metals and jewels (gold, silver, gems etc.).

Christian morality is centered on assessing the ethical implications of us as people. Who we ought and be, and what actions we ought to take or avoid based on an understanding of the scripture and relevant human experiences. I do not subscribe to the divine command theory (DCT) of ethics, as I believe you can have ethics without God. The DCT proposes that what is morally right is what God has commanded (for example, love thy neighbor), and what is forbidden by God is morally wrong (i.e. murder), yet there are many who agree that murder is wrong without reading the bible to recognize this. As such, I argue that the churches moral teachings are of

Christians see Jesus as continuous with the God of Judaism. A collection of Christian writings was added to the Jewish scriptures known as the Old Testament, or Hebrew Bible. The Christian writings, called the New Testament, record the life and teachings of Jesus. They also describe the development of the early church and explain what faith in Jesus means. The Christian Bible includes both the Old and New Testaments. Some Christian groups also accept as part of the Bible a collection of writings called the Apocrypha.

The subject of the Decalogue, or Ten Commandments, and their place in modern Christianity and America is an interesting topic. It has certainly shifted in recent years, as many segments of Christianity have been watered down and diluted to make them more palatable to the modern social climate. A part of this decline in Christian morality stems from confusion over what portions of the Law Christians are required to uphold. Moving through this paper, I will discuss the Law and what portions modern Christians are required to keep. Although the bible is fairly clear on the Law and how it applies to the redeemed in Christ, it still is a subject that some among us disagree on. I will also discuss pluralism, if it exists in the United States, and

These religious codes of conduct, such as the Ten Commandments, are generally very broad statements, elucidating only general principles that may be inconvenient to apply to each specific case. Some religious moral codes may also contradict one another. These contradictions compel religious believers to decipher religious directives or to draw out the implications of particular views- this is otherwise known as doing ethics.

One of the most important pieces of scripture a Christian follows is the 10 commandments and one, and in my opinion the most important, commandment is “Do not commit murder.” (Exodus 20:13)
