Core Ethical Teachings Of Christianity And The Beatitudes

The 10 Commandments were the acts of what not to do according to the Bible. They were stated by God on Mount Sinai to the people of Israel after releasing them from slavery. These Commandments are known to be divine because God stated them himself, in fact he wrote them with his fingers onto a stone tablet which left a powerful meaning. They are also known as a positive law because there is no room for ambiguity. Throughout Exodus 20 Moses restates God’s words of the Commandments to explain them. On the other hand, the Beatitudes were 8 blessings created by Jesus in the Sermon. They were Jesus’s sacred values that he taught to the people that followed and walked with him during his journey. These blessings were at the heart of his teaching.

The purpose of this paper is to show that Revelational Christian Ethics is a viable metaethical approach to Business. This ethical theory is a prescriptive and a concrete expression of objective reality. It exemplifies the core values and teachings of Jesus Christ as the foundation of morality and guiding principles for ethical conduct, treatment of others, as well corporate leadership decisions that affect the environment, community, and economics.

We have the two laws, the Law of nature and the law of human nature or moral law. Two world views discussed are the “Life-force” philosophy, an overall creator, or “Creative evolution”, which holds that any variation on this planet evolved from a life-force. You would have to dig deeper to see if they mean one with a mind.

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.

Based on my analysis, I explain that AMC leaders who happen to be Christian leaders should understand what is leadership before getting into overarching goals from a Christian perspective and how should they should be handled properly. AMC leaders should explore the Christian principles by laying a strategic plan that is easy to understand and use it effortlessly and efficiently. However, when a leader keeps his maintenance of Christian’s core values and beliefs, he should be comprehensive and concise on where he leads his followers in his organization. “In regard to maintaining core values and beliefs, a common theme was that focusing on what you believe to be the ‘right thing to do’ gives a sense of personal integrity, self-worth, and even accomplishment—no matter what the final outcome” (Shaw, 2012, pg.59). Therefore, from a Christian perspective, a leader should seek and serve God and those he shows the way strategically in his organization.

In the bible God gave Moses the 10 commandments and told him that his followers should obey every single commandment written on those slabs. Today in

1. The biblical basis of Jubilee 2000’s call for the immediate canceling of all debts of HIPC’s is found in Leviticus. This bible book states that “you shall not oppress one another.” Also in the book of Leviticus in the case of someone who becomes poor and in turn to sells his possessions then his relative may redeem the possessions he sold. Or if the man has no one to redeem it but he himself becomes able to redeem it then let him count the years since the sale, and restore the remainder to the man whom he sold it, that he may return to his possessions. But if he’s not able to have it restored to himself, then what was sold shall remain in the land of him who bought it until the year of Jubilee and in the

Another religion in which the Ten Commandments is abided by is Protestant Christian. The Protestant Christians in this category consist of Greek, Anglican, and Reformed Christians. The Christians decided to validate which of the 613 mitvots were necessary to abide by. They came to the conclusion that out of all of the mitvots, the Ten Commandments were the only ones of importance. The Jews accused the Christians of just picking whichever laws they wanted to abide by (Smith, 2). The Protestant Ten Commandments is very similar to the Jewish version. They have the same commandments however slightly differ in the way they are worded. The first four commandments relate to god whereas the last six relate to humans.

The Ten Commandments are located in Exodus (20:2-17NKJV). The Sabbath command is written in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible it reads; “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God.

In order to understand the values of morality, God has provided Christianity with morals to live and abide by. These morals are preached through The 10 commandments and Beatitudes. The Ten Commandments are eternal gospel principles, which God revealed to Moses in Exodus 20:1–17. Likewise, The Beatitudes are the eight declarations of blessedness, spoken by Jesus at the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount, in Matthew 5:3-12.

According to Sermon on the Mount, the sermon did in fact describe an ethical religion. That religion was Christianity. A religion that does required individuals to follow a code of moral behavior. An example of the moral code would be “Poor in spirit shall inherit the kingdom of heaven” (Mathew 5-3) meaning to have an impoverished soul and regardless of your life you have to identify and scarceness before you can go to god in faith. To demonstrate another moral code would be “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.” (Matthew 5:9) which means that you should try to avoid conflict and try to discovery peace in every situation. My final example of the moral code would be “Let your light so shine before men,

The major element of the Judaic faith is the so-called “Torah”. It consists of some texts that teach believers how to live properly so that they would inherit good life after death. The Torah contains hundreds of rules and restrictions, the major of them being the popular “Ten Commandments” known by all Christian believers, no matter the denomination they belong to. These rules are valued by Christians as well.

In Matthew's Gospel, starting with Chapter five verses three through twelve, Jesus tells us of the Eight Beatitudes. These verses are much like The Ten Commandments in nature, but more philosophical:

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.

“Ethics deals with what is morally right and wrong. Christian Ethics deals with what is morally right and wrong for a Christian.” -Norman Geisler (Christian Ethics: Options and Issues, 17)
