Over the centuries, Christianity has organised its beliefs into a systematic theology that draws from its sacred writing and tradition. While the main beliefs of Christianity are shared by all Christian variants, there are degrees of different in the interpretation of these beliefs and how they are lived out in everyday life. This can be seen in the important of sacred text, principle belief of the concept of salvation in John 3:16, principle belief of divine and humanity in ‘John 1:14’, principle belief of resurrection in ‘Mark 16:1-8’, principle belief of revelation in ‘1 corinthians14:6’, and beliefs through the Trinity in ‘2 Corinthians 13:14’. This essay will explain the important of the sacred text and the principal beliefs of Christianity.

Religion manifests itself everywhere around the world. Although all beings are different we come together as one transcendence being the host. Sacred rituals are performed, honoring beliefs in accordance to ones religion. Rituals are performed for a wide array of reasons, some being a sort of rite of passage, healing the sick and even birth or death rituals. Judaism, Santeria, and Christianity all have ceremonies and rituals, some carried out as different as night and day, and some for the same purposes. These religions in depth have more in common than the eye can see, devotion, transcendence and worship to a higher absolute power. All participating in Sacred Ritual.

Christianity is the most widely practiced religion in the world, with more than 2 billion followers. The Christian faith centers on beliefs regarding the birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. According to the text, Jesus was born to a young Jewish virgin named Mary in the town of Bethlehem, south of Jerusalem in modern day Palestine.

Many historical events around the globe have put a wedge between Christians and Muslims. The Christian perspective is that Muslims are set to be dangerous and violent people. The Islamic community has a perspective of hatred from the Christian community. While Islam and Christianity are distinctively separate religions; they both stem from the same beginnings and are more alike than they may admit. Should they be considered separate Religions?

Throughout the semester, the lived religion approach has enabled our class to analyze what religion is to many different types of people from all sorts of cultures. This method has allowed the class to view each religion in its own unique form. Essentially, the lived religion approach opens the doors to what each different religion/culture can offer, and how each of those groups embody what they get from the religion in their day to day lives. Unfortunately, conventional approaches do not dive into these different religions deep enough to see what the culture practices contribute to a religion. This paper will attempt to answer the question of why does myth and ritual play such important roles when it comes to an

I really love this midterm project since it pushes me to experience different religions and participate in many valuable activities. I really learned many things from this class, but I think the theoretically knowledge cannot leave me a deep impression. This project gives me an opportunity to put everything into practice. More importantly, by experiencing three world religions---Christianity, Buddhism, and Catholicism, I realized the differences and similarities among them. This makes me understand how are those religions related. I think this is an important task in this class.

The second groups of immigrants are Christians fleeing Middle Easter countries and moving to Europe. Most of the Christians in Middle Easter countries such as Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and even Iran flee to Europe due to many various reasons. Most of these Christians were born in their Middle Easter country. However, since most of these countries have adapted Islam as their main form of religion, discrimination against Christians has become a common act. Even though most of the population respects the Christian minorities, the government set up promotes discrimination. For instance, a Christian cannot run for office in countries like Lebanon and Iran. This is a clear form of denying the freedom of religion and thus, Christians flee to countries

When reading this article, there several elements that define what makes up Christianity.

•The two main beliefs of the Greeks were that the gods existed, and that the gods required the people to do rituals and sacrifices. In this culture it was dangerous to contradict the existence of a god. The 12 major gods were called the Olympians, and their names were Aphrodite, Apollo, Ares Artemis, Athena, Demeter, Hephaestus, Hermes, Hera, Hestia, Poseidon and Zeus. They also believed that the gods had chosen Mount Olympus as their home. Believers of this religion did not believe in life after death, especially in regard to retributions or rewards. However, they believed that they were given by the gods what they deserved in life. They thought that their successes proved that a god was pleased, at least for the time-being; every catastrophe

Just over the hill, in a stable, the most incredible event has taken place. A virgin has conceived a child. Just over the hill angels blow their trumpets. The shepereds gather in wonder at what has happened. God has entered the world as a human being. The eternal word made flesh. The Light of the world has been born. The Messiah the hope of all the world. Jesus. And the Inn keeper remains, perhaps, blissfully unaware of what is happening outside his door.

The lesson was focused on the use of religious symbolism in the Christian faith, specifically symbolism around Easter. This lesson included both Attainment targets, learning about and from religion, which helped the children gather context around the topic and take something from what they learnt too. The children were enthusiastic and have a history for loving RE, asking questions, and stayed attentive during the Easter story. The children learnt about different ways faith is symbolised; relating to attainment target 1, such as the cross or the importance of Easter eggs. This was successful and all children could relate this to their own lives, and in some instances, their own religion. This was beneficial to everyone in the class as

Christians' Celebrations of Holy Communion There are many different ways in which Christians celebrate Holy Communion, depending on the denomination of Christianity, in which they belong. Holy Communion is one of the seven sacraments found in Christianity. A sacrament is an outward physical act with an inward, deeper meaning, which can be obtained through various, specific rituals.
