    The origins of Christianity can be originated in Judaism and for that reason it is no surprise that both religions have many beliefs in common. During the earliest beginnings‚ Christianity was a part of Judaism‚ but currently they are two distinct communities. However‚ they are bound together by their belief in one God and to worship any other is to deny Him. The separation between both religions did not happen fast or easy. The entire division took some hundred years and the very complex separation

    Muscular Christianity is the concept that participating in vigorous sports/exercises builds character. I have to say that I 100% believe in this concept and think that it really does reign true. I do believe that participating in sports builds character‚ whether it is a recreational sport‚ or if it is in a league for a title‚ playing a sport is going to help people build character. People have always said that winning proves who is the best‚ but losing builds character and I do feel that this is

    During the times of 300 CE in the Middle Eastern region‚ Christianity was rapidly expanding but after being eroded against the test of time‚ fragmentation was inevitable. The events were a string of series that began with the unification of Christianity on a strong front‚ followed by a separation from the Roman Catholics and the Eastern Orthodox to finally a protestant growth of a new branch. In the beginning‚ Christianity was created from Jesus wanting to revitalize traditions. Saint Paul’s conversion

    can also be applied to the concept of abortion. As one can tell by the name of this ethical system‚ Christianity is the main proponent of this system through its direct application of the Great Commandment. The Great Commandment states that one should love God and that one should love his/her neighbor as one loves his/herself. Following the Great Commandment without the applications of Christianity as a whole‚ abortion could be seen as a viable and moral choice. The reasoning for this is that if one

    At first glance the traditions of Christianity and Buddhism appear very different from each other. One centers around a God that was at one time physically manifest on earth in the human form of his "son" Jesus Christ‚ the other primarily worships a historical figure that gained divine status through enlightenment. This assessment is broad at best‚ especially in the case of Buddhism where the Theravada and Mahayana traditions differ significantly. Christianity also has division within itself‚ the

    J. Lecture 10 –Romans Word Count: 545 1. Describe the classic Calvinist‚ Arminian‚ and contemporary mediating perspectives on “foreknowledge” in Romans 8:29. For the Calvinist‚ the concept of foreknowledge is often defined as “predestination” based on the OT use of the verb “to know”. But this is a mistranslation since in the OT‚ the verb “to know” is translated as “knowledge” and not as “foreknowledge”—as Romans 8:29 clearly reads. For Arminians‚ this verb is taken straight forward as “simple

    Critical Response to Beowulf After reading the story Beowulf as translated by Burton Raffel‚ I saw two aspects of this story written in the Anglo-Saxon period. When reading the story you notice that there are multiple aspects of paganism and of Christianity included in the story. Many scholars have debated whether of not a monk might have written it during the paganism period or whether a second author might have added to the story later on in history. I believe that it might have been written by

    Paul was a man that truly changed the way Christianity is viewed. He was not always a believer himself‚ but once he converted‚ there was no holding him back from spreading the word. Paul was chosen by Christ to spread the word‚ and throughout his missionary work‚ it is proven that he was just the man to do the job. Paul was actually the ‘reborn’ name of Saul. Saul was not a believer. He accused Christians of blasphemy. Paul’s thoughts about Christianity changed one day on the side of a road. Paul
