Christianity: A Monotheistic Religion

Greek mythology is a polytheistic belief system, worshipping the 12 deities that reside on Mt. Olympus, while Christianity is a monotheistic religion. Christians abide by the rules of one powerful and almighty God who lives in heaven. Additionally, Christians strongly believe that one’s actions while on earth will seal their fate in the afterlife: whether they go to Heaven or Hell. Thus, they pray to God for advice, strength, and forgiveness for their sins so they can have a peaceful afterlife in Heaven. Greek Mythology isn’t focused on prayer and the afterlife; it’s centralized towards earth life. The religion tended to be a symbol of wealth and power; it essentially determined societal status. Prayer was mainly done in groups since they felt if they sacrificed more, the gods would gift them with more bountiful rewards. Furthermore, Christianity also has a major religious text and rules that they follow as a guide in how to live their lives morally, this is the Bible and they also have The Ten

Followers of Christ believe that Christ was God’s son and the true Messiah, sent to earth to free us from our sins through salvation. Achievement of Salvation by believing in Christ’s life, death, and resurrection. When a person reaches salvation, they are safe from the grasp Hell and will spend their afterlife in heaven with God.

The Christian religion finds its foundation on the Word of God and the work of Jesus Christ. Christianity finds its beginnings with Jesus Christ about 2,000 years ago. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came down to earth to teach, heal, and die for the sins of humanity. When God created man, he openly rebelled against God, causing a rift in their relationship. Since humans cannot save themselves, a perfect and completely innocent sacrifice was necessary in order to purify and restore mankind. Christianity is all about Jesus’ death and resurrection, as well as denying oneself and following Christ.

Christianity derives from the teachings of God’s son Jesus of Nazareth and his apostles who later became known as Jesus Christ. Being a Christian is living a very righteous life.

In Genesis 17:1, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, “I am the Almighty God; walk before me and be thou perfect.” Soon after this, God suddenly and randomly makes these extravagant promises to Abraham. He promises, his infertile wife become pregnant, he will become famous and blessed; and his descendants will be given the land of Canaan.

Being a polytheistic religion, Hindus worship multiple Gods. Although a lot of the different gods are said to be different avatars of the trimurti, in a sense, each God represents an ideal quality or role one must follow to in order to follow their Dharma. As shown in a lot of the readings each God has a different quality and these qualities in a sense serve as model behaviors a true believer must follow in order to follow the path of Dharma.
