The Importance Of Forgiveness In The Ancient World

Most importantly, the biggest reform that emerged form Christianity was forgiveness in one. In the ancient world, the belief was to reward your friends and punish your enemies. They wanted to see their enemies crushed and hear the screams of their women, as they believed that was bliss. Ancient worlds taught their people, that forgiving was for the weak. Christianity over took this outlook and began a whole new movement in forgiveness. Jesus was teaching that the best in life is to love your enemies and see them reconciled to you. “Forgiveness in the bible is one of the greatest blessings that God has given us, and one of the greatest blessing we can give to others.” (Page 1) Christian teachings tell us that we must forgive the ones who wrong

To begin, Christianity teaches that the spiritual sphere is the real world and that matter is evil. Thus teaching the body is the prison of the soul, holding it back from its true potential. Christianity also teaches humanism, explaining that the only importance is the physical and social needs of man. (Williams, 2000, para. 1-2) The Christians were against how the female body transformed through puberty. Puberty is a way of life, and breasts are inevitable no matter what size. The Christians disapproved and made all the women make sure that there body parts were fully covered and looked like the female body parts weren’t there.

The Christian campaigns in the United States, base their motives for revolts on biblical claims that homosexuality is going against God. Today, Christians are revolting against the homosexuals because in the bible it states that it is wrong to be involved with someone of the same sex. But, it also condemns every man is a sinful creature, not just those engaging in homosexuality. God taught us that if he can forgive our sins, we must be able to forgive others for theirs. The Christians that follow the Lords word are also the ones committing sins themselves. There are many Christian families that have kids who grow up and decide to be a homosexual, and the parents of those kids disown their children and never speak to them again. There are also many homosexuals who are murdered by Christians because they are not following what the Bible states. So the ones who are preaching Gods’ word are also the ones committing a sin because they believe it is the right thing to do. There are many homosexuals who also commit suicide because the Christians put so much pressure on them to do what is right. (40 Harmful Effects of Christianity,
