Recommended: The summary of the creation story

At an early age, I can remember attending church and learning about our God. It took some time to identify with what I truly believed about church, God, and ultimate reality, but overtime I realized what it was that I believed to be the truth. When a person believes in something that means they have faith in that belief whether it was learned from someone else or from themselves. Sometimes beliefs can change from what others may tell you. It is always good for a person to dive deep into their own beliefs and learn about them as much as possible. A few of my core beliefs are that there is only one God that created the heavens and Earth, and He sent his son Jesus Christ to live among the humans, and then later be crucified on the Cross to forgive …show more content…

All of this is quite mysterious; it is something we have to go on by our faith. I know this by reading the Bible, and attending a church that explains The Creation so well. First, I believe that God is the creator of everything in the universe. How else could something so big and vast been created any other way? He knew exactly what to put on the Earth for everything to live and survive the way they do. There really is no other explanation for it. He then needed for the people on this Earth to know how he wanted them to live. He then created his son Jesus Christ from his liking to be the one to spread His …show more content…

He later would be crucified on the Cross. This was all part of the plan to show the people that if they truly believe in Him, that He will save them from their sins. This is all sometimes very hard to understand. How would Jesus dying on the Cross have anything to do with forgiving us of our sins? I believe he took the pain of all of our sins from past to present, and paid the consequence for them. I know I am a sinner and that if I repent my sins, God shows will show mercy and grace to me and also to those who believe. I believe that when Jesus died on the Cross, that three days later He arose from the grave and went to Heaven. This was another plan of God’s to show this to His followers. I believe He wants everyone to have that right to accept Him as their Lord and Savior. To believe in the resurrection that Jesus died a painful death, to then show that whoever believes in Him will be transformed in their body and soul to one day live with Jesus in

It all began when god spoke in the darkness and said let there be light and there was light. God saw that the light was good. During the day there would be light, and the darkness would be at night.

    Every religion embodies a plethora of recognized rituals that are significant to its teachings. Customs exclusive to each religion can include acts such as: attending a weekly mass, praying five times a day at specified hours, celebrating the transition from childhood to manhood, along with endless others. The similarity shared amongst all religious rituals is that the follower of faith must believe whole-heartedly in what he/she is doing or saying. Dhikr, or the remembrance of God, is a ritual based in Islam that does not receive the attention it deserves from mainstream Muslims, and is highly under appreciated for its value (Robson 238). Its myriad versions allow it to be very personal, whereas other rituals are more structured, which is

  • Syncretic Religion Essay

    This religious study will define the social stratification of Roman Catholic policies in colonial Mexico. Religion has always played a major role in the country and this is no less true of its colonial period. Historically, Catholicism was seen as a civilizing force that contended with the indigenous religions of the indigenous population, as well as with religions imported by other, non-European newcomers. This aspect of syncretic religious values was part of the overarching authority of the Roman Catholic to stratify citizens based on racial and social values within the context of colonial governmental policies. The restric6ttions to class mobility were primarily based on racial and ideology religious values, which were controlled and regulated through the Spanish Inquisition during the colonial era. Also, an examination of the Cult of Mary will define the various forms of syncretic beliefs that were an extension of witchcraft and Aztec belief system amongst the indigenous population. In essence, this study aims to examine to what extent religion expressed the societal standing of members of colonial society, which created a stratification of society under the authority of the Roman Catholic Church in

    "Sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death." (James 1:15), or as Paul puts it in Romans 6:23 " the wages of sin is death". Christ never sinned, and therefore did not earn the wages of sin. Therefore God raised him from the dead "having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it." (Acts 2:24). The full story of Christ's death and resurrection can be found in Matthew 27 & 28, Mark 15 & 16, Luke 23 & 24, and John 18 - 21.

    Every day God created something new and blesses it. God created nothing irrelevant or unworthy. Entirely everything he created served a purpose. Also all he had created came from nothing. The fish were undeniably produced out of the waters, and the beasts and man out of the earth; but that earth and those waters were made out of nothing. God created what is known as the world today and everything that exists on the earth. Reading Genesis 1 gives all mankind an idea of how life started and how the earth was formed to be this magnificent place. The earth is very complicated yet God could solve all of the problems and create blessings. He gave us light and darkness, day and night, water and land. He created all living creature including mankind.

    I am fortunate to have realized my faith in god in early years of my life and experiences in life have only strengthened my faith; I was born and raised in a small town in India and my elementary to undergraduate education has been from a Christian, catholic school, Convent of Jesus & Mary, a congregation established by Mother Claudine Thevnet who wanted to undertake the education of girls in India. It was in school, I first experienced the introduction to Christianity and my family being Hindu resonated a lot of common values being taught at school. Since there was no conflict in my values learnt at school and those at home, these were only deepened and have become an important part of my personality. As a result of my upbringing and my education, memories of my faith are amongst my earliest. I believe in the presence of god and I believe that god has bigger plans for me. My education and my family has integrated values in me for respecting, accepting, understanding other members of the society. Hinduism taught me how to be respectful and tolerant to others, it taught me that I need to understand that I am a human and I am here to serve and help others in need. There have been times when faced with difficult challenges in life and I have followed the path laid by god, ignorance went away and I found solutions and answers to the problems and challenges that I faced.
