Christianity Essay, Research Paper
Christianity is one of the most widely practiced religions in the world today.
It is based around the belief of one supreme ruler, God. The main guide that
Christians base their life around is a book called the bible which is a
collection of books collected over 1000?s of years. World wide it has around 2
Billion believers *. Its largest groups are the Roman Catholic Church, the
Eastern Orthodox churches, and the Protestant churches; in addition to these
churches there are several independent churches of Eastern Christianity as well
as numerous sects throughout the world. The main and most important belief in
Christianity is the belief in God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Christians also
believe that when you die the soul, depending on whether you have committed
yourself to God or not goes to Heaven or Hell. Christians also believe in the
Bible and try to run their life as the bible tells them too. This specifically
means following the Ten Commandments. The common practices in Christianity are
based around the laws of the Ten Commandments. Most Christians also go to church
on Sunday or attend a youth group of some sort. Christians are also usually
heavily involved in charities, and many of the well known charities around, such
as the Salvation Army are Christian organizations. Christians also believe in
preaching the word of God to their friends, family and neighbors. They also
believe in the importance of prayer and pray regularly. For Christians, holidays
such as Easter and Christmas have special meaning; they celebrate the birth,
death and resur
attend church or a mass of some sort. Depending on what denominations they have
there are extra functions during the week, which Christians take part in, such
as confession for Catholics and door knocking and the Mormons and Jehovah?s
Witnesses go door-knocking to preach the word of God. The main reason why I
think people are attracted to Christianity is it is because it gives the people
something to believe in something to strive for. Also I think a lot of people
are introduced to this religion though schools or a youth group and they found
something that appeals to them in it. Also it may be because Christianity
doesn’t discriminate against anyone, which is unlike many religions such as
Islam. People may also become Christian because they have been brought up in a
Christian family. Christianity also appeals to many people who are homeless or
less fortunate than others because of the promise of a better life after death.
Many people argue about proof of Christianity. Most peoples believe that the
world is too good to be created just by chance and because of this they believe
that there must be a supreme been responsible for our being. Many people also
regard the Bible as being proof of Christianity, especially the New Testament.
If 2 billion people follow Christianity there must be something in it that draws
so many people. Whether it is the promise of eternal life or that anyone can
become a Christian, or the fact that you belong to something Christianity is one
of the largest religions in the world today and is still growing.
