The Second Vatican Council insisted that Catholicism must embrace all of Christianity on the basis of Baptism. “Baptism forges ‘a sacramental bond of unity’ among all Christians” (Groome 242). Catholics should not be judging another group of individuals for not having the same religion as them‚ instead they should be rejoicing they the “body of God” is gaining more members. The Catholic view of being catholic was articulated by Jesus when he “taught by word and example that everyone would be welcome

Catholic views‚ specifically that the mission of the church is “incarnational‚ sacramental‚ social‚ and committed to the poor‚” I have a hard time accepting the idea of an incarnational emphasis; they are emphasizing on the good and happy side of Christianity‚ and ignoring the difficult parts. I find that it is important for the individual to know the weight of their decision to follow Christ‚

In his novel The Lion‚ the Witch‚ and the Wardrobe‚ Lewis uses the achetype of the Stone Table and the symbol of the hero to convey Christianity.

Christianity is focused on Christ and the Trinity as the main focal point of worship; missions focuses on how Christ relates to the world. We are given a well-rounded picture of Christ in the four Gospels. Mark’s account is primarily for the Jewish audience‚ and emphasizes the actions of Christ.

James is the best book in the Bible‚ in my opinion. I love James because it is themed around perseverance and encouragement. James 1:12 says‚ "Bless is the one who perseveres under trial because having stood the test that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.” James wrote this book to inspire Jewish believers to endure and live bold Christian lives. The book of James was written in the time span between 48 AD and 49 AD. James is all about just displaying

Nicene Creed states that christianity is a monotheist religion. In my opinion is it also the most important point. This is clearly demonstrated in the Creed. “I believe in one God the Father the Almighty…” This is very important because when the Nicene Creed was created‚ the authors wanted to clearly dispel the past traditions of multiple Gods and pagan beliefs. The second part is that he is hundred percent holy and a hundred percent human. The Creed shows us that Jesus is God as shown in the lines

that vision statement is very significant to me and describes my spiritual being to this point. Creativity is important to me‚ not just because advertising or me being a bit imaginative‚ but because from the beginning‚ our God was a creative God; I don’t believe there is any room for becoming stagnant in Christianity.
