Christians believes that prime reality is God. He is the real truth and the creator of all things. From a Christian stand point, the world was created by God and the bible tell us that this sinful world will end one day and everyone who believes in Jesus as the son of God will be with him for eternity. Human being was created in the image of God. Therefore, as human we are responsible to preach the truth which is the gospel of Jesus Christ. After death, Christians believe the soul of those who believed in Jesus Christ will be in his presence in heaven. Unfortunately, the soul of those who chose not to believe in him will go to hades which is a temporary place describe as a jail cell where they are kept until the day of judgment and eventually will be cast into the lake of fire which is hell. God gives everyone the freedom to choose his or her eternity. The Bible is the word of God and it teaches us what is right and wrong in the eyes of God. The bible tells us very Cleary about the past, present and future of the human history. We know God created everything in six days and he rested on the seventh day. He gave Adam authority over all. However, because Adam disobeyed and sinned against God, the whole human race has to suffer and pay the consequence. Fortunately, God so love the world that he gave his only son Jesus Christ to …show more content…
Christianity began with Jesus Christ as their God and savior. According to Christian today (2016), Jesus was thirty years old when he began his public ministry. Christianity a monotheistic religion believes that God is the supreme creator. The bible teaches about how the world will end but no one know when that will happen. However, Buddhism does not believe nor denies that there is a God who control the world. They strongly believe in the cycle of rebirth. The rebirthing cycle is not only for human beings but for all living creatures (Religious
Christianity first emerged in mid-1st century CE, from Palestine and Israel. Christians believe that God is the sole creator of the universe, and that his son, Jesus, died for humans on the cross to save them from sin. Christians believe in an eternal life after death, in either a Heaven or a Hell, and that the way to Heaven is accepting God as the only God, and leading a holy life. Christians also acknowledge the existence of Satan, the spirit that personifies all evil and malice in the world. The holy book of Christianity is the Bible, which is believed to be the word of God. The Bible tells tales of fights between good and evil. The Bible says that God gave humans the Ten Commandments, and that those who follow the Commandments will gain access to Heaven. In many religions, the theme of good against evil is apparent. One of these religions is Zoroastrianism, which is believed to be the first religion to use this concept of good against evil. Another of this religion that is similar is the mythology of Ancient Egypt. The teachings of Buddhism is also full of teachings that relate to the theme of good against evil. The stories within the Bible are similar to those within Zoroastrianism, Egyptian mythology, and Buddhism.
Buddhism and Christianity were each founded by one person, and then eventually grew into two of the largest religions in the world. Each religion had different reasons
Christianity believes in one God, which exists in three person; the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Mankind was created to have relationship with God. Faith and believe in Jesus can save individual from happening sin and eternal death. Buddhism is a religion that does not include the idea of worshipping a creator god. Buddhism believes in path of practice and spiritual development direct to insight into the actual nature of reality. According to Buddhism nothing is eternal, every action have results and change is possible. Practicing meditation helps change in individual life and develops qualities of awareness, kindness and wisdom.
The Christian view is one of optimism based on hope. Based on dogma passed down throughout the ages through the teachings of Jesus, Christians believe in the dignity of man created in God’s image. Though they acknowledge human imperfection and fallibility, they also believe in salvation and redemption. Christians reject moral relativism and espouse the moral absolutism of truth, the mystery of creation, affirmation of life, divine justice, triumph of good over evil, upright living and faith in a loving benevolent God. Like Aristotle, they assert a rational moral order in the universe and that while suffering is inherent in the human condition, it can lead mankind to a noble form of dignity.
The first thing I will cover is the origin of Christianity. Christianity was created in Palestine in around 30 BC. Christianity was started when Jesus of Nazareth began walking the earth teaching the people. He was believed to be the son of God and had twelve disciples that followed him wherever he went. His teachings were from the bible and the religious leaders of the time thought him to be a heretic. He often spoke of how the Pharisees were misconstruing their power and were teaching fallacies among the people. Jesus was then caught by Romans after being caught preforming a miracle or "working" on the Sabbath. He was sentenced to death by crucifixion and was killed and buried soon after. Three days passed before he rose up and out of his grave and went back to his disciples. He then gave the disciples their mission and ascended into heaven. Christians believe that through his death and resurrection Jesus defeated death and therefore was the ultimate sacrifice to forgive all sins past, present, and future.
Although Buddhism and Christianity show several parallels, their three key differences are that Buddhists do not believe in one divine being, and have different views about both the purpose of life and the concept of afterlife. Buddhists do not believe in a Supreme Being, God or Creator, though many Buddhists today worship the Buddha - the central figure of Buddhism - and his teachings. They view him as someone with a universal spirit, an essence that can be attained by everyone rather than only a higher deity that rules over the world (Brown). Especially in Mahayana Buddhism, the concept of the Buddha nature is fundamental (“Pure Land”).... ...
Christianity is mainly founded on the life, death, teachings, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Christianity was developed from Judaism during the 1st century, it has several different branches and forms which accompany different beliefs and practices. Christianity
On the other hand, Christians believe that after you die you go into a period of dormancy and until the second coming of Jesus will you be woken up and decide your fate whether you go to heaven or hell according to how you have lived your life. Christianity teaches salvation from sin through Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Through Him, the gift of eternal life is also attained. Christianity started as a missionary religion and has now become the world's most widespread faith. It focuses on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
Before we compare the sacred works and teachings of Christianity and Buddhism, it is important to understand what we are working with here. In Buddhism, Siddhartha Gautama (The Buddha) was born to a royal family in India in 563 BCE (VIRTUE 4.2). Buddhist texts say that Siddhartha married and had a child, but he eventually became disillusioned with palace life and the life of luxury. After making trips outside the palace where he observed sickness, old age, and death, Siddhartha was shocked. After many weeks of intense meditation, he gained supreme wisdom (VIRTUE 4.2). Siddhartha was able to at last, understood things as they truly are. He thus became, Buddhists posit, the Buddha, or “The Awakened One.” In Christianity, the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, or Jesus Christ, are the teachings most revered today in the Christian religion. The 'Sermon on the Mount' has been a core text of Christian
In the film UP, Carl Fredricksen is portrayed as a frail older aged man who lived a sedentary and isolated lifestyle. Carl may have not been very active in the beginning of the film; however, his physical wellness may be considered good as he does not have any chronic diseases or illnesses. According to Rowe and Kahn, the absence of any chronic diseases or illnesses makes it easier to age as there is no stress about the possibility of sickness. Although Carl had slightly limited mobility, his physical wellness transformed over the course of the movie. Carl went from being mostly inactive to engaging in vigorous physical activities such as running, hiking, and climbing.
Christianity is now in our modern world one of the five major religions. The other major religions include Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Judaism from which Christianity descended. Christianity was practiced before Christ, During his life, and after his life. After Christ¹s life Christianity spread to become a main world religion.
Buddhism is centered upon the life and teachings of Gautama Buddha, whereas Christianity is centered on the Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ. Buddhism is a nontheistic religion, i.e., it does not believe in a supreme creator being God. Christianity is a monotheistic religion and believes that Christ Is the Son Of God. In Christianity, they believe in Jesus. Christianity is monotheistic because they only believe in one God, unlike Buddhism whom believes in several Gods. First and foremost, I will start by looking at the various similarities between Buddhism and Christianity. Both religions are based on the golden rule which concerns individual wellbeing as well as the interests of other people. Both Lord Buddha and Jesus Christ taught their disciples about the welfare of all human beings. They encouraged their followers to do good to others the same way they would like others do unto them. Jesus and Buddha preached the importance of social values and ethics. Both Buddha and Jesus rejected and highly condemned excessive asceticism and emphasized on self-liberation. Both Buddhism and Christianity doctrines lay emphasis on equal love for all human beings. According to Buddhism, this love should be extended to human beings as well as other living things. Similarly, Christian doctrines are based on the principle of loving a neighbor as much as one loves him/herself. This special kind of love, usually referred to as Agape by Christians, begins at individual levels and should be extended to all people, including friends and enemies. Both Buddhism and Christianity entail worships that involve use of rosaries, incense and performance of rituals among other spiritual practices. Buddhists and Christians worship through personal confessions, monasticism, bowing before holy images and mediations. Often, bells are rung to indicate transitions within prayer
Christianity teaches that there is merely one God in all existence and that God created the universe. It also teaches that Jesus is the only way to be set free from the coming judgment of God and that Jesus desires his values and his standards to abound. Moreover, Christianity is the only religion that
Buddhism and Christianity are different religions. Both have numerous similarities as well as differences that one might find really interesting to look at in details. These two religions have certain beliefs, values and traditions which are really compatible. On the other hand, some of these values, beliefs and traditional practices are quite contradicting and conflicting. This makes the study of these two religions an inevitable and pleasurable task. Theology historians have raised adequate concerns and issues relating to connections between Buddhism and Christianity. They claim that there is strong comparability between the characters of Jesus and Buddha, especially their lives and teachings.
Christianity is one of the major religions practiced in the world, it is a monotheistic religion. Christians believe in God, they believe that Jesus is the son of God, and are inspired by his teachings. Although I knew
