The Significance And Meanings Behind The Use Of Symbols

Christianity is a Theism worldview that focuses on the belief in one personal and relational God that created all that exists (Hiles, & Smith, 2015). God created man in his likeness to care for all that has been created, to know and worship God, and to love and obey God (Diffey, 2015). Man is to rule and have dominion over the earth, be fruitful and multiply, filling the earth (Genesis 1:28). Christians rely on the support of the Holy Bible to guide them in the word of God. The Bible consist of four basic acts, the Creation, the Fall of Humanity, Redemption, and Restoration (Diffey, 2015). Christians believe that God sent his only Son to die on the cross for their salvation. In this paper will be a focus on the Christian worldview discussing God, humanity, Jesus,

Christianity is a religion followed by a huge number of people across the world, but what is it exactly? Christianity is all about cultivating and maintaining a life with God.

The Christian faith is centered around God almighty, a holy godhead. “The doctrine of the Trinity affirms that the only true God eternally exists as three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—one in essence, united in glory, and distinct in relations” (Horrell, 2014, para.1). God represents the Father, Jesus represents the Son, which was God in the flesh and the Holy Spirit, which is given to those that believe in him. “We are invited to know this God through Christ and to be transformed by the renewing of our minds through the Word and by the Spirit” (Horrell, 2014, para.5). There are many profound characteristics of God; He is the great I Am, holy, just, faithful, good, merciful, gracious and the source of all blessings. He is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, sovereign, immutable, wrathful and wise. His strength and power is unlike anything else. He existed

Buddhists believe that they have no identity. That there is no constant substantial self. They believe that after death, the spirit is recycled. During this formation, the personality is disintegrated and only certain memories, personal traits, and skills would be recycled to create a new person and when death approaches, then the process starts all over again (Rivas, T., 2005).

It is the foundation that offers many the ability to understand the irrational and give substance to life’s deepest questions. In this paper, the Christian worldview will be broken down with an in-depth look at God, humanity, Jesus, restoration, and an analysis and reflection on the worldview, and express its value to mankind. God God is known to have many characteristics associated with him.

Christianity is the world’s largest religion, and the religion, which defines my personal belief system. At the heart of Christianity is Jesus Christ: my personal Savior, and it is His teachings and sacrifice, which is the foundation of “Christianity.” To begin, it is necessary to outline my beliefs as a Christian, since there are many conflicting Christian doctrines in contemporary society. My creed is the belief in the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. As the Bible teaches, God is three personalities within in One Spiritual Being. Furthermore, I believe the God created the world as put forth in the Genesis account, and it was created in a perfect state and without sin. Near the end of His creation process, God created man in His image, He set him apart, and gave him dominion of all other living creatures. Sin and death only entered into to the

God is amazing, he is the Trinity- Father, son and spirit. He is so wonderful that he exists in three persons, the father, the son and Holy Spirit. All of these distinguished persons have their very own functions, but yet they are united in the being of God. He is all love, present in space and everywhere throughout time. God is utterly pure and perfect and therefore utterly against evil. God is the one who guides us day by day. He is the ones who gives us the power and straight to get up every morning to continue our journey in life. He is all loving and all caring, teaching us to love ourselves as well as our surroundings. God is my strength in every aspect in life, good or bad. God’s creation is the first act of the biblical storyline, and a proper understanding of creation lays the

The Christian religion finds its foundation on the Word of God and the work of Jesus Christ. Christianity finds its beginnings with Jesus Christ about 2,000 years ago, when he, the Son of God, came down to earth to teach, heal, and die for the sins of humanity. After God created man, man openly rebelled against Him, causing a rift in their relationship. Since humans cannot save themselves, a perfect and completely innocent sacrifice was necessary in order to purify and restore mankind. Christianity comprises and emphasizes Jesus’ death and resurrection, as well as denying oneself and following Christ.

Siddhartha Gautama, later on called revealed four noble truths which are the foundation of his teachings. To make understand the people that everyone have to experience unhappiness or despair, he taught Three Marks of Existence: dukkha, anitya means impermanence and anatman means no self. Thus, anatman means “there is no separate, permanent or immortal self” (Fisher & Rinehart, 2016, p.143). Buddha points that there is no eternal or permanent soul, be rejecting the Hinduism notion of atman. In Buddhism, permanent is only an illusion. Everything is in flux including the self. A person is always changing

Buddhism analyzes human existence as made up of five aggregates: the material body, the feelings, the perceptions, the predispositions, and the consciousness. A person is only a temporary combination of these aggregates, which are subject to continual change. No one of these aggregates remains the same for any two consecutive moments. Buddhists deny that the five aggregates (our material body, our feelings, our perceptions, our predispositions, and our consciousness), individually or in combination, may be considered a permanent and independently existing self or soul (atman). They regard it as a mistake to conceive of any lasting unity behind the elements that constitute an

Within the category of signs, there are other depictions of the holy. A sign is something that has a causal inseparable connection to the thing it is point to, like dark clouds telling of rain. Analogues have a likeness to what they are symbolizing. The likeness can be pictorial, also called iconic, or can be a resemblance of attributes, metaphoric. Finally, sacraments focus or embody the presence of the sacred through words, gestures, or things.

In conclusion, The First Sermon helps as further evidence and guidance towards fully understanding the history of Buddhist art. Although it does not display any particularly unique features, the piece of art serves to strengthen concepts of South Asian art as well as its uses in everyday

His view of God is very different from the Christianity view. Christianity believes that God has plans for us, God knows each and everyone of us, God affected us, God care about us and love us. Christianity believes that God has emotions, desires and purpose.

When discussing the use of symbols in both Durkheim and Strauss’ works, it is important for us to look at how both thinkers talk about the categories of understanding. In Elementary Forms, Durkheim believes the categories of understanding are grounded in the social, using Australian totemism to explain how the primitive mind used symbols derived from collective thought to create the ways in which we categorize ideas in society today. In saying this, he was adopting both an empiricist and a priori approach in explaining the categories. He states that the categories are inherent to human nature, but only
