Pine Grove Free Christian Ideals And Beliefs

This ideology is not new to society, but is dated to around 539 B.C. and is firmly rooted in American humanity (“Freedom of Religion & Public Education”). Religious freedom is a universal human right that protects the choice of religion someone chooses and practices. Without this civil right, people cannot think, express or act upon with religious liberty and this can result to acts of violence, inequality and prejudice throughout the state (“Freedom of Religion or Belief.”). A community that consists of an array of acceptances is going to allow diversity to flourish. James Madison brings an important transformation of 1800’s and 1900’s America through religious freedom.

      Human life is a gift from God, and it is our responsibility to protect it because God gave it to us. We should encourage the government and higher officials to pass laws that protect life. Like we should help those who are pregnant and cannot manage to take care of the baby, people who live in very poor conditions and do not have enough money to pay medical expenses are examples of problems we face today, which take lives. Another way of violence is war. The church has always been against war. The church says to solve the problem by peaceable means. We are the ones who have to defend ourselves and society against violent crimes and matters like that.

To achieve the Churches’ Mission Statement and the Vision of their Chuch, the Church has developed may program that assist their community and gets the community involved in this programs and services. Giving back to the community is the greatest reward for their Church. The First Christian Methodist Episcopal Church offers; Online Bible, Online Prayers Request, Online Announcements, Online Giving, Online Calendar of events, Annual

As soon people start seeing the real meaning of the bible, violence, and harm to another person will soon come to an end. A quote from William Whipper’s speech, “Non-Resistance to Offensive Aggression, “a “just and necessary war” or physical self-defense goes against the letter and spirit of the Bible.” Any harm to another person is going against the bible, even if it is self-defense. Being violent is the wrong way to go and it is an attack on Christianity.

Over the years, the government of the American people has subtly and gradually seized control of the responsibilities and roles of the American family and the Christian church. Both families and the church are being completely taken over by the government as time passes by. Now the people of America are counting on the government, not their family and the church as it used to be.

Church, a six letter word that can have several different meanings depending on who you ask: believers, nonbelievers, people who just don’t care about religion…etc. But to me, if I made a definition for the word church is would be this: a physical place where God created in his plan that us followers created on earth a building where we gather and worship Him. While in the dictionary, the meaning of church is short, sweet and to the point, it is “a building used for Christian worship.” In the Bible, the word church is defined as “the body of Christ (Eph. 1:22-23; Col. 1:18, 24; 1 Cor. 12:12-13, 27-28; Rom. 12:5)” (Perks 23). So in a sense, the main idea of the definition of a church is a place where believers go to worship God. On the other

Christians believe that when you accept Jesus Christ into your heart to be the leader of your life, you go through an inner transformation, dying to your life of sin, cleansing your soul of all past sins, and being born again with Christ inside you. This process continues until our body, spirit, and soul have been entirely transformed into the sons and daughters of God.

When I began there was a man talking about how he felt something leading to leave everything he knows, such as his everyday life, family, wife, kids, work to be part of the this religion. He understood this took priority to everything he had even his family and as I kept watching the same-story was share from different individuals some left their house as young as 14 yrs of age. This I found disturbing because in Christianity we are though that family comes after God and it is important to maintain a connection with them to lead into Christ as well. In Christianity a child leaving the house in a young age to practice the faith is not very common it all comes together in life to maintain peace and find God as a family.

These two groups recognize the intolerance and extremism that has emerged, especially in the post-9/11 world, and seek to combat that by banding together in order to build a stronger and united community. Christian socialists, communists and Islamic socialists have histories rooted in scripture and holy texts, and their shared commitment for abolishing capitalism and working for justice provides them with the framework to work together for a better world.

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.

As a Christian school, we must come up with a list of statements that describe who we are and what we believe. As Christians, there are certain doctrines that we believe in like the doctrine of the Bible or the doctrine of the church. From the WCS statement of faith, I chose three statements to interview my pastor about. The first one I choose stated that: “We believe in the present indwelling ministry of the Holy Spirit, whose intercessory and sanctifying work continually renews the Christian and enables him to live a godly life in conformity with the Scripture. (John 14:15-17)” The Holy Spirit is an important aspect of the Christian faith for many reasons and the Pentecost is one of the main ones. The Pentecost is a Christian holiday that

Christianity is the religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Most followers of Christianity, called Christians, are members of one of three major groups--Roman Catholic, Protestant, or Eastern Orthodox. These groups have different beliefs about Jesus and His teachings. But all consider Jesus central to their religion. Most Christians believe God sent Jesus into the world as the Savior. Christianity teaches that humanity can achieve salvation through Jesus.

Within my growth as a Christian, I have usually surrounded myself with others who possess the religious beliefs that I hold. As a result of my

Christianity began in what was the Roman Empire. Largely ignored by the masses, it was a small monotheistic cult in a polytheistic society. The simplicity of it quickly attracted converts (Veyne 525). Where once they only had Roman idols, a new one was added, that of Jesus Christ. It is not to say that they simply quit believing in the Gods and Goddesses that had safeguarded their crops, homes and families, only that this God offering salvation was added (Veyne 545). Popular society saw a world under control of demons, and to ensure their safety they worshiped a variety of Gods and Goddesses (Veyne 396). As the cult spread, new beliefs were added. These include the forgiveness of sin, the resurrection of Jesus, the belief in one God (Noss 636).

Nowadays, 70.6% of U.S. adults identify themselves as Christians according to a research by the Pew Research Center in 2014, while the other 29.4%  claim that they are another religion or they have no religious affiliation at all. A Christian is a person who follows to Christianity, which is based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. While there are diverse interpretations of Christianity which sometimes would conflict with others, they are
