There are 2.2 billion Christians. 32 percent of the world 's population is christian. For most of people 's lives they are taught and raised to live by the rules of a religion. I want to know if there is one true religion. Every Sunday I got to church, because I am a christian.…
How religious or spiritual traditions affected my life? I think they affected us in many ways, both to personal beliefs and to culture and the society. Religion has affected personal beliefs in many aspects. Every religion has taught us to be a good person, do good things and avoid something bad. Doing good deeds makes us feeling happy and encourage us to further help those in needs, etc.…
Kali, Just took a look at your paper, everything looked fine. Very well written, nothing grammatically stood out to me. Everything flowed well, and the construction seemed well thought out. The only thing I would recommend is, look over the paper and make sure that the points you are making line up with the way they are said. That meaning if you are talking about Christianity, make sure you put the emphasis on what it has done for you, not what you can do for the faith.…
At least 80% of the world’s population affiliates with a certain religion. Some societal values have roots in religion, a moral reservoir, therefore religion matters for those who believe so. I believe in Christianity because my family does. It comes as natural; as if it was required for me to know and understand religion and how everything turns out the way they do at a very young age. I went to a Christian school from kinder to high school, I was not forced neither asked if I even want to be in that school.…
For 9 months now I've come to terms with my own new atheism; the world feels brand new. I have a thousand rose-colored memories of my childhood church, but all nostalgic aesthetics aside, I can't help but acknowledge the negativity I experienced as a Christian. Suppression of my curiosity and my passion for humanism was routine, as my church seemed to consistently devalue and demonize human nature. When I was younger, I'd ask God to grant me everything I felt I couldn't attain myself: intelligence, financial comfort, consistent sobriety for my mother- essentially freedom from all difficulty. I felt I had no power over these things in my life and that I needed God to fix them up for me.…
No mixed feelings about mixed faith. I can remember it plain as day. I was in sixth grade, sitting in the back of the class listening to the teacher. We were learning all about world war two and the effects of the holocaust. Some boys were snickering in the back of the class…
I strongly value religion, it shapes my behavior with moral values, such as: humanity, compassion, empathy, hard work, forgiveness, contribution…
I grew up in church, I remember going to church every Sunday. So when I entered first grade and was around the age of six I had the opportunity to save the salvation prayer and I took it. A couple of years went by and I was in the third grade when I made a group of friends at school who were homeschooled and I went to public school. This was one difference that I feel started my comparing my walk of faith to. To me they were perfect and where doing everything God wanted…
I laid there in bed at nearly 3 o’clock in the morning, but falling asleep was the last thing on my mind. My heart was beating like a jackhammer and I had this feeling inside of me that I had never felt before. It felt as though my old self had died and been replaced by someone else. My entire perspective on life was thrown out the window and replaced with something new. I laid there silently, knowing that what I just witnessed would change my life forever.…
Finding My Own Beliefs When raising their children, parents tend to force feed them with the beliefs they know and grew up on, even if their parents forced it upon them as well. My mother’s mother was heavily religious and brought my mother to church every Sunday, sometimes on weekdays. For her birthdays, she would never get parties, just more church and a cake if she was lucky. As a result, I too was born into a religiously strict household. When Sunday rolled around there was no arguing with my mother.…
My Personal Mission and Doctrine Personal Mission Statement To be a comfort and a peacemaker so that the people God puts in my path will know my God of Love and Grace. I will do this by putting myself in situations where people are in need of comfort and I will show them love and respect. I will also to be a person of reconciliation where God would have me being His peace. Doctrinal Statements General Revelation I believe that God reveals himself in general in nature.…
An individuals’ conception of god is typically shaped by their familial structure and, I believe, people tend to not question the religion they are raised in. Usually, this does not happen until they hit puberty and start to denounce their parents’ value. No one is born with knowledge about a certain moral code, so those concepts are inherited through the teachings of a family. One is not born knowing that it is bad to hit someone just like how you are not born knowing a language. It seems to mostly be based on a faith or their environment.…
Having religion is very common throughout the ages, and it still diffuse these days. but do we ask our self why is the majority of human beings have their own religion? Nowadays, each one of us practicing the religion as the way we like, and this would probably generate great issue or distortion in religious descriptions. There is no doubt that the variation of religions is strongly wide, and sometimes these differences cause problems or war as it happened before in world war two. However, I think when most of the people practice a religion with the right instructions, many universal problems will disappear in short matter of time.…
Jordan, “I learned that there is a time to listen, and a time to speak. Not everyone is open about their struggles, and that’s ok. It’s a process for each of us. Sometimes we need to see the courage and boldness of another individual, confessing his sins and struggles, to feel comfortable sharing our lives with one another. It can be hard to trust someone you don’t know well with your heart.…
the motto for our country is "In God We Trust", so maybe all those that are believers in God should stay and just do as they were instructed by Jesus to love and serve others as He showed them by His example and His love, but always keeping their hearts and minds on God and things above. The bible is pretty clear about Christians seeking the kingdom of God first, and to walk by faith not by sight. There are many scriptures that discuss God 's grace which was shown by Jesus laying down His own life for His friends, so that the sins of this world would all be covered, and Jesus took our sins, bore our illnesses, he was chastised for our inequities and by His stripes we are healed and His blood washes all sins away from anyone that will just…
