Taking a Look at Christian Culture

Islam and Christianity are the two largest religions in the world. Contrary to popular belief there are many similarities to Islam and Christianity. Christianity makes up a gaping Thirty percent of the worlds population, while Islam takes up about Twenty- Five percent of the worlds population. Together that makes up about half of the worlds population.

Christianity is one of the most influential religions on both ancient and modern Western society, with the religion based on the teachings of the prophet Jesus Christ who lived approximately between the years of 5 BC and 33 AD. It is claimed that Christ was the son of God whose spirit was embodied and sent to Earth as a human being to bring peace and prosperity to the less fortunate, and absolve the world of its sin. Jesus preached a doctrine of a supreme monotheistic god who ruled over the universe, as well as ethics and morals especially centred on the concept of faith and forgiveness. If one was to live their life in accordance to the Will of God and the teachings of Christ found in the written word of the Holy Bible, one would be absolved of their sin and ascend to the spiritual realm of God, known as Heaven, after their physical death.

Located in the heart of downtown Cedar Rapids this Historical brick building with its’ decorative molding and beautiful stain glass windows is the home of a subculture of biblically based Christians. This church family meets every Sunday like many churches who revere Sunday as being the Lord’s day, set aside for rest and worship of God. Biblically based Christianity is a vast culture of faith in God carried out by many subcultures called churches, made up of people who seek to worship God and to foster a personal relationship with him. One of the most important things that make a subculture is a question of what is it that brings these people together? This foundational question is not only the question of the subculture, but is also the defining

Christianity and Judaism are two of the most famous of the global religions. They are famous rather than large because although roughly thirty-two percent of the world is christian, there are a mere 5.7 millions Jews. With the population of the world around 7 billion people, that would make roughly 2.2 billion Christians. The strange thing about these two religions is the fact that they have a common root that went in very different directions.

Data was collected on historical developments, such as laws passed, political developments, significant moral issues, family and demographic developments, as well as generational values. Further data was collected from governmental agencies that forecast potential future economic and demographic issues. Other research considered social areas that can be strengthened in order to influence future generations toward a more Christian Sociological framework.

In conclusion, the Christian Sociological framework does provide a baseline for understanding U.S. society today, and in the past. The Church, Family, and State each play a role in shaping society as set apart by God for their particular purposes. Generational differences also influence society as each generation focuses on their particular mass interests and agendas. The extent of this influence at times depends on their age and their population. This is especially true when one particular generation has more population and holds opposing values from another. The outcome of elections could be swayed because of the size of a generation.

This paper will focus on the important elements of the Christian worldview and specific topics. The paper will go into more detail on the topics that will be discussed in the paper. In the paper there will also be analysis and reflection from my own personal worldview as well. The main focus of this paper will be on God, humanity, Jesus, and restoration by analyzing and reflecting on each of the different topic.

Christian Social Teaching is about helping humanity with political, economic, and social issues and coming up with solutions. This event/movie showed how easy human rights can be taken away and violated. The experiment was supposed to last two weeks and it ended up only lasting six days. Students from Stanford University volunteered to be in this experiment. They were paid fifteen dollars a day and half of them was the prison guards and half of them was the prisoners. When the experiment started, everything was going well. The prisoners knew that the guards could not touch them because of a contract they signed. Things escalated very quickly when the guards started to abuse their power. They started to violated the contract. The prisoners

Mainstream Media is the “traditional forms of mass communication, such as newspapers, television, and radio. For years the Mainstream Media has more often than not portrayed all Christians in the same manner and paints them in a bad light, leaving little to no room for Christians to stand up for what they actually believe. The Mainstream Media have caused the negative socialization of Christianity through hasty generalizations, false reporting. These Negative portrayals of Christianity seem to have promoted negative socialization of the Christian religion as a whole. Mainstream Media is not the only thing giving Christianity a bad name though, as people in the

The enduring problem is introduced as the relationship between “Christianity and civilization”. Neibuhr describes this as a problem because we know that our Almighty is all knowing and doesn’t commit sins. He is perfect in every way. Whereas as humans, we fall short and do commit sin and are not perfect by all means. It is argued that there are verses in the Bible that suggest we should be out of the ‘world’, and verses that say we should be in the world. It becomes hard to depict what is right and wrong, and what we should really go by when there are different biblical literatures available that does not represent a single example of a belief. Niebuhr gives examples of how Christians have attempted to deal with this “problem”

Christian doctrine and practices are applicable in every aspect of life and culture. Christ’s teachings are just as relevant in the business world as they are in our own personal lives. Businesses can honor God by observing Christian principles in how they operate. As seen throughout this course, this can be translated into everything from internal operations to budget management to controlling costs. “The Hebrew Bible, especially the Pentateuch (Torah), is replete with precepts that deal with business ethics, and can be used as a starting point for those interested in developing higher moral standards in business.” (Friedman and Giladi, 2002)

Christianity and reason have historically been difficult matters to reconcile. They often conflict with each other, leading to some sort of existential angst. In the early Church, the role of philosophy and its use to understand Christianity was challenged by Justin Martyr and Tertullian. Both Justin and Tertullian confront the issue of faith and reason through their interaction with the Greek philosophy. Justin advocated the use of philosophy in religion, while Tertullian argued against it, but neither of them can be categorized as “positive” or “negative” about human culture due to the complexity involved in each argument. Justin applies philosophy to Christianity in order to grasp higher truth. Whereas, Tertullian is more intensely obstinate than Justin in his rejection of philosophy in relation to faith on the basis that it poisons the Christian community and strays them away from the Truth. Despite the differences, the Christian attitude concerning the culture is consistent in both texts as….. say somethingggg

Christianity is the largest of the world’s religions and one of the oldest. As such, there are many divisions within it. Most divisions agree on the basic teachings, such as the existence of heaven and hell, the Trinity, the Bible, and that Jesus’s death brought about salvation. However, other teachings caused major divisions within the religion, resulting in the formation of three new major groups. These groups are Eastern Orthodox, Catholicism, and Protestantism. Their differences will briefly be discussed in the following paragraphs.

Christianity is one of the world’s most widely practiced religions and has a long history spanning back over two-thousand years. Some might say that its history might go back even farther to include the history of Judaism because there are prophets in Hebrew scripture who foretold the coming of Jesus Christ, who Christians believe to be the Messiah that God promised the Jewish people. This paper discusses how Christianity influences our society today, some of its history along with some of our beliefs. However, it is impossible to tell the complete history of Christianity in just one essay because for all two thousand years it has been in existence, there are literally thousands of things to talk about. The construction of our religious

Christianity today stands as the most popular religion in the entire world. Statistically, out of every three people in the world one is Christian. During the time of Christ, roughly 30 AD, are the first examples of Christian worship. The religion spread across the European nations and churches began to spring up both in the West, Romanesque and Gothic, and in the East, Byzantine.
