Religion is one of the greatest creations of mankind. Human beings are different from any other animals because of their ability to think and to create. When man evolved to form societies or countries, when they need to understand better the world around them, religions were created naturally.

Religion has changed dramatically over the past few decades. Where years ago, it was limited to a few specific set of beliefs in which the majority of people conformed to and few people deviated. Nowadays, religion is immeasurable and varies depending on where you live. Despite all the changes, there are a few basic elements that every religion follows such as; a set of stories, sacredness, community, belief of a higher power, rules/ethics, offer hope and a way to connect with the divine.

Christianity is a faith based on the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. (Fisher, 1991) Christianity is a one God religion as presented in the New Testament. Today, Christianity and the church are culturally diverse, even in the aspects of race. It is even said that Sunday mornings is the most segregated time in the world. There is one central belief that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, all Christians can come to this conclusion. Christianity teaches that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins and that we are all under the judgment of God because we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Other religions may often depict that it is only necessary to do some good when it comes to God in order to

The assignment to create our own religion for me was difficult. I found myself wanting to try and model the religion off Christianity. I wanted to be creative and come up with something that touched on different religions. The religion I created was the Friends religion, based on the television show Friends. I am a big fan of the show and know a lot about the characters and story so I felt I could mold that into a religion. It was not as easy as I thought it would be. I found it challenging to try and keep with the story line and make significant religious connections to the characters. I chose to use the brother and sister as to rival factions in the Friends religion both vying for Friends. In the show Ross is constantly meeting searching

My religious association as a catholic has given me that significant course that facilitates my steps. Raised in an African home, where my father had two life partners, and my mother being the second spouse, I encountered youth in a family where everyone respected and loved each other. With generosity and friendship, I and my siblings were raised to constantly offer a hand of assistance at whatever point we found anyone requiring help. Encountering adolescence in a little group, where everybody knew each other, we, for the most part, saw everybody in the group as companions. Notwithstanding the certainty it may sound hard to trust, the group always esteemed the closeness of each other's affection and time. With these memories still particular

The denotative definition of Christianity, as stated in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, is the religion that is based on the teaching of Jesus Christ. Christianity is a very broad religion with many different sects and denominations. Although all sects and denomination fall under one religion, each body has a distinct beliefs that may or may not be

When I was young, I grew up in a Christian family, My notion was that God created the universe, and Jesus Christ is my lord and savior. During this time I thought most of the world believed in Christianity as well not knowing about other types of religions. Nevertheless, this changed right around the beginning of middle school where I learned about other major religions. Moreover, I was pretty shocked to realize that most of the world believed in a different religion. Now as an adult, I have the knowledge and respect of other people's religion. After reading chapter 4 I am able to understand other religions and the similarities between each of them. Examples including, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all being monotheistic religions. Or how

Christianity is a choice in which people choose to have faith in and live their lives by. Christianity involves a trinity in which God is the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. God is a loving and personable being who created humanity and has mankind’s best interests at heart. Christianity affects how a person behaves and thinks because Christianity is a frame of mind and is an unwavering faith in a God who rules over all things.

I doubted religion at a young age. “How does anyone know God is real?” I’d scribble in my notebook. As a scientist at heart, I wanted physical proof to fuel the fantasies. In our book Prophet Ibrahim had at first doubted God, but then God sent him birds to kill, yet make alive again. Prophet Ibrahim was convinced, but I was not. Until I had experienced my own revelation, everything was just a story. And then I realized, maybe I had to ask. “Dear god, if you’re true please make a dove appear right next to me! Now!”

When I hear the words “Freedom of Religion” the first thing that comes to my mind is having the freedom to worship in spirit, and in truth the way that I want to. It means not being confine to how I serve God. I am able to choose whatever church I want to go to, believe in whatever God I want to believe in, and express myself the way I want to. I can do this, without the fear of being judged, or told that what I am doing is wrong. I have the right to make all the decisions when It comes to my religious beliefs. To me this is the freedom of religion. I have observed my community expressing religion in a lot of different ways. The first way that immediately comes to my mind would be expressing themselves in church. Church is a place that most

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.

I didn’t really know a valid definition for Christianity. The best way for me to understand Christianity is that it is a religion based on the miracles and teachings of Jesus. People say that Christianity is a relationship with the true and living God through the person of Jesus Christ, which who has forgiven us for our sins and escape the righteous judgment of God. To help me better understand and comprehend how glorious Christianity is, I had the enjoyment of interviewing my good friend William Wendell. The friendship that William and I have is a very strong. One thing that we find most joyful within our friendship is learning about each other’s religion. William is a practicing Christian that truly believes in his
