Top Five Religious Persuasions: Questions And Answers
Top five religious persuasions:
1. Church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints (Mormons)
2. Orthodox Quaker Religious society of friends
3. Mainline Conservative Christian protestant
4. Mainline Liberal Christian Protestant
5. Christian Science Church of Christ, Scientist.
Did any of your top five religions match your real religious beliefs?
Yes and no. I say yes because Catholics believe in Christ and God just like Quakers and Mormons. All three religions believe that Christ came to teach his people himself or that the Christian church was founded by Christ himself. I say no because Liberal Protestants and Conservative Protestants believe the opposite. Protestants believe that the bible is a source of God’s revelation to humankind.
1. Mormons

    While the first amendment calls for separation of church and state religion is ingrained in American culture; from its earliest beginnings to modern day religion has been used as a tool for persuasion. One of the best uses of religion for persuasion was “ A discourse concerning unlimited submission and non-resistance to the higher powers with some reflections made on the resistant made to King Charles I and the anniversary of his death” a sermon by John Mayhew which used religion as a tool to sow the seeds of American…

    It can easily be debated whether or not religious motivation was the sole reason for the Europeans’ race to conquer the “unexplored” lands of North America. Regardless, faith and the guiding institution that housed it was without a doubt an essential factor in the Europeans’ deliberate migration westward. Not surprisingly, the theological motivation observable during this period of history did not fade – rather, it continued to validate the mostly problematic actions of new Americans from there on out. In countless ways, the United States has drawn on these theological roots in order to interpret its own history as upholding the nation’s founding ideals such as freedom, equality, and liberty.…

    Catholicism and Christianity have been around as long as the Heaven and Earth have been around. They are religions based on the life of Jesus of Nazareth, as written in the Bible so many years ago. They are the religions of the true believers (or Apostles) we must say. All over America you are likely to find a Catholic or a Christian and sometimes maybe even both. The odd thing about the two religions is that you can say that, “a Catholic is a Christian, but you cannot say a Christian is a Catholic.” Because Catholicism is a subset of Christianity, but not all Christians are Catholic some are Protestant, Methodist, Mormon, Evangelical, Orthodox, or Baptist.…

    However, even one person who makes the right choice and puts God first could affect their entire community. Rearrange your perspectives, and dedicate your life to God, and people will notice. As John Wesley stated, “I set myself on fire and people come to watch me burn.” Do not let the frivolities of life distract you, and keep you from loving the Lord “with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind,” and loving “your neighbor as yourself,” as we are commanded in Luke 10:27. I challenge you to regard this one verse as the supreme reason for your existence, and realize that nothing else you could ever do matters more. Believe it or not, that phone call can wait, that quiz won’t alone determine the success of your future career, and that pile of to-do’s will be there tomorrow. This week, put everything else on the back-burner for a change, and pray for increased passion and faith in your own life. In doing so, you will be allowing America to come one person closer to regaining her lost reputation as a nation where pure religion retains a great influence over the souls of…
