Similarly, the faith of Christianity as a living religious tradition is also a repercussion of the deeds and beliefs of ‘The People’s Pope’. His objective was to love and to prompt adherents to deepen their lives, which resulted in the ‘humanising of the role of the Pope’ which is what Popes in these times strive for. Pope John also intended to ‘improve the world’ which is why he was actively involved in World Affairs. He also was the instigator of the Second Vatican Council which brought back meaning and change to adherents that is demonstrated in many aspects today. Abortion is deemed as the premature removal of a foetus from the womb culminating in death.
Churches need to go beyond just talking about social justice issues. Instead they need to get involved by doing mission trips, presentations, making flyers and initiating change starting with the world around them. We as a church and community have to be the voice for those who do not have a voice in today’s world. We have to inspire others to want to make a change and we have the power make a difference, it just takes one act and we can reach goals of stopping social injustice. Prayer really does make a difference, because with God on our side we can achieve anything.
Just like the Holy Bible is our guide for daily living as Christians, the Ordnung guides the Amish “through all the details of their daily lifestyle” (Inside the Amish Family). An Ordnung in the Amish society is “a religious blueprint for expected The Cultural Aspects of the Amish Society 4 behavior regulates private, public and ceremonial behavior” (Countries and their Culture). Of the Amish society, the immediate family, extended family, and the church
It appears that this document was founded upon covenant theology, McClellan states, “ the puritans subscribed to the view that a covenant was the necessary basis for both the church and the state” this covenant implies that an individual submits his will to God, and God rewards this obedience with salvation”. The Puritans also believed that God would punish disobedient individuals for their disobedience. Those who governed were led by God to make the decisions for the people, but the premise was that God was on top of the relationship. The ideas of submission and obedience are far removed for modern society in an ideological sense, the government forces people to adhere and most are not obedient to even the smallest laws such as traffic laws. In todays society we are far less to be obedient to a law but more or less we attempt to obey to avoid the negative consequences associated with them such as fines for exceeding the speed limit.
Human Nature behaves differently because their social, psychological and spiritual thinking. Human nature and my worldview behave in different ways when it comes to sharing my thoughts and experiences in my life decisions. * As any other human being, my belief has been shaped by my environment. The only thing that I knew while I was growing up was going to a Catholic Church, there was nothing wrong with that but as I discovered my relationship with God things started to change and I decided to search and find a different place to worship God. * I started going into different churches and different denominations.
Your husband was always right; your duties were to cleanse him of all his sins. Being a puritan wife was a lot to handle; you must be the perfect wife, even if you were not treated with the same respect. Puritans had strict religious discipline, and followed the rules of the England church. Puritans were very religious; the word of the bible was practically their lifestyle. God is what defined the roles of man and woman in the community.
LITR220 The Puritans had strong spiritual beliefs which placed a special emphasis on their conversion experience. They believed all people were born evil and that only the pre-determined grace of God could save them. Puritans strived to serve God in their ordinary lives and worked to establish strong spiritual communities. The community leaders flexed authority over all spiritual and financial matters which also included community laws and customs (Butterfield). Since faith was the centerpiece of Puritan life, it motivated all of their actions to establish settlements with strong ethical and spiritual goals.
Puritanism in New England and Anglicanism in Chesapeake effected the development of the government, the social structure, and the economic opportunities. Religion played its biggest part in shaping the social structure. In New England, the Puritans created tight-knit communities with all the families living close together. This was so the community could “keep an eye” on all the families and correct them if they were doing something wrong or straying from the “path to god”. Also because the people lived so close together, public schooling was created.
As well as rules for when, how often they must worship and go into the community. Nonetheless, they believe that this is a necessity in their life and for their salvation. While speaking to both of the people that were interviewed they seemed to have almost the exact answers as the other. This religion is very strict and does not have room questions nor does it have room to have different answers. They all read the same material, and as it is in my paper earlier even questioning what they are told has severe consequences.
This is primarily done through teaching of Jesus Christ who according to Christian faith and the quote above was sent by god as the perfect sacrifice to atone for the multitude of sins committed by the human race giving humans a chance to be united with god once again through the grace of Jesus. Jesus was the perfect sacrifice due to the way he lived his life in the human form as he only brought good to society but was still persecuted. This persecution despite actually committing any sin resulted in the ideal sacrifice as Jesus Christ was able to suffer the burden of our sins for us in order to allow us to achieve eternal salvation. This act solves the problem of our sins as it offers redemption if we act in the correct way. This premise of redemption through Christ is thoroughly addressed throughout the Christian church through in depth study of the gospels on the life of Jesus Christ as this allows members of the religion to gain an increased grasp on what kind of person Jesus Christ was and what he accomplished.
