Mormonism: Christian or not? Frank Thomas XBCOM/275 May 3, 2015 Michael Schoonmaker Mormonism: Christian or not? Introduction Today’s religions hold many different beliefs than each other one does. Christianity is no different. With all of the differences in the dogmas between Christianity and Mormonism, there is strong evidence that these two faiths cannot be linked together solely on the fact that they both believe in Jesus Christ being the savior of mankind.
Because Hinduism and Buddhism focus so much on peace, it is uncommon to see wars over these religions. Both religions have similar goals: to be with Brahman, the ultimate ruler. A big difference between Hinduism and Buddhism is their gods. The Hindu religion has thousands of gods while Buddhism refers to the universe as a deity. Buddhism was founded by Siddhartha Gautama, who changed his name to Buddha, “the Enlightened one.” Much like Jesus, who was born into a Jewish family, Buddha was born into a Hindu family.
“Judaism is the oldest of the monotheistic faiths.” It has survived more than four thousand years. The trials and tribulations of the Hebrews, the founders of Judaism, can be found in the first five books of the bible. There are four unique aspects of Judaism that separates it from all other religions of that time. They are: monotheism, a covenant, prohibition of graven images, and the name of God was not to be spoken. Judaism is a monotheism which means that they believe in a single, all-powerful God.
CHRISTIANITY VS. JUDAISM Christianity and Judaism are religions that are each very unique. Although they both have plenty of differences, they also have similarities. In fact they probably have more in common than some of the other major religions in the world, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam. Although both Christians and Jews believe God to be their creator and controller; Judaism has no founder, as opposed to Christianity whose founder was Jesus Christ. In Christianity it is believed that Jesus Christ was the savior to all humanity and was sent to Earth by his father (God) to pay for the sins of all mankind.
The globalization of religions is not a relatively new concept. From the creation of man, religion has played an important role in the many cultures that we recognize today, albeit some of these cultures have not been in existence but for a few thousand years. Christianity was born over two-thousand years ago with the birth of Christ. Since then, the world has grown to know of Christianity and many works of Jesus. Was this coincidence?
Part I Buddhism is a apart of the Pantheism worldview. In the Panthism worldview they do not believe that there is a personal God.

Traditionally Wicca or Neopaganism means either "wise ones" or to bend or shape. Christianity means the followers of Christ.
