Extremism In Christianity

A Christian worldview is also seen as when you believe the bible is entirely true in that you allow it to be the foundation of everything you say and do. Why is this view important to people? If you don’t believe in the truth of God and live by it, then all witness’s will be confused and mislead by the idea and teachings of the bible. This is a way of life that helps people live by the word of their

“I grew convinced that truth, sincerity, and integrity in dealings between man and man were of the utmost importance of felicity of life; […] Revelation had indeed no weight with me, as such; but I entertained an opinion that, though certain actions might not be bad because they were forbidden by it, or good because it commanded them, yet probably these actions might be forbidden because they were bad for us, or commanded because they were beneficial to us.” (Franklin 55) These feelings of solidarity formed a common identity which eventually results in the beginning of the American Revolution. Away from the Anglican Church and the English royal dynasty, people formed their own identity independently. They became a

“Free grace,” as its most commonly refereed to, is the real grace of God. All the wonderful things he does for us, coming with only the cost of repentance, discipline, and contrition. Though they are “costs,” all of these things aren't bad, and they all help you build Godly character traits. Such as, humbleness, kindness, and Spiritual knowledge. “Cheap grace,” is all of the gifts from God such as forgiveness, absolution, and communion, without the “costs.”

They weren’t particularly in joy of the Anglican beliefs and customs. Winthrop’s sermon helps reiterate the puritan’s ideology and at the same time give guidelines on how to make a successful society and provides them with reason on why they have to succeed. They were an outcast in England and if their society here in the New World failed too then they as a group have failed. They have failed to show why their way is right and also they have failed god.

These false assumptions are dangerous but are also merely human nature. Therefore, I think it’s necessary for everyone—even the most brilliant people—to challenge their own beliefs every once in a while. We might change our beliefs about God and maybe learn something about the fundamental nature

So, which of the religions should be take it as base to considers actions to be morally good or wrong. Therefore, the Divine Command Theory of Morality can have advantages, for example if you obey God’s commands you will be rewarded but if you disobey you will be punished, but it also have disadvantages starting from Euthyphro’s dilemma leading this theory

It is based on biblical truth and we believe this truth has the power to transform lives. This transformation is relevant to all, not just the counselee, but also the counselor. There are no shortcuts or quick fixes. We must be patient as we trust God to reveal Himself through the scripture and by loving each person we counsel, always pointing to the cross and giving God the glory for each victory.

The Bible states, “…when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.” ( John. 4:23). Concerning this, Jesus is searching for people who worship not out of obligation but with all freedom and love unto him. Worship is not to benefit God, it is beneficial for the children of God to commune with God through his son, Jesus that one brings their hearts, voice and minds to be lifted higher and draw on the presence of God to transform lives (Girgenti. 10, 11). In addition, “ Religion will say: God

Martin Luther's theological approach resonated with me more so than that of John Calvin's theory. Luther's approach, with its strong belief in faith of God and righteousness of God seems for me to be a more realistic approach. As practiced, if one is righteous they will live by faith. The fact that Luther was outraged by the sale of indulgence also resonates quite strongly.

I. SYNTHESIS At the mention of “Divine Revelation”, my thoughts on it before were very narrow and simple. Back then, I would have mostly thought of revelations that occurred during the time when Jesus Christ was still alive. I had this expectation that the revelations would be mostly relating to the prophecies that we know from the bible, or what the church is constantly saying is the message of God.

Edward believes that humanity is natural played with a sin despite the ongoing effort that a person put to overcome it. Bradstreet’s works shows a conventional view in religion while staying true to it. Edward’s writing takes puritanism to its extreme. Anne Bradstreet believes that God helps us attain in the things needed.

While the majority of adults in the United States identify as “Christians”, it is important that tolerance towards those of other faiths and denominations is shown. It is also important to note that religious tolerance impacts more than just those of faith, it also applies to people of no religion. James Madison, founding father of the United States wrote in a letter to William Bradford that “Religion or the duty we owe to our Creator, and the manner of discharging it, being under the direction of reason and conviction only, not of violence or compulsion, all men are equally entitled to the full and free exercise of it according to the dictates of Conscience” (Loconte). These ideas influenced Madison’s writing of the first amendment of The Constitution and are relevant even

Rites of terror are rituals that involve the emotion of terror and cause the participants to feel negative emotions. The experiences will make the participants have a long lasting memory of the ordeal. Rites of terror can lead to religious hatred due to the violence that is experienced. When someone is undergoing something traumatic they might see the ritual as oppression instead of something sacred. In the chapter “Religious Hatred” it discusses, religious hatred can be observed in violence and through violence is where hatred is most actively expressed (Corrigan 333).
