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. Many Christians believe that Mormonism is not a true Christian religion, although Mormons make the claim that they are based on their faith in the Christ Jesus as the sole savior of the world. Can Mormonism, a polytheistic religion, truly be considered Christian, when Christianity
Many believe in him, others don’t. Anselmo d’Aosta said that we should not give sentences on things out of our sensitive knowledge – the experience. In fact, why should we try to find explanations for things that probably doesn’t exist?!? only because the church tries to make us believe in such things? I don’t think is enough… the so called ‘sacred texts’ that form the Holly Bible, were re-written after the 4th century, probably during the Constantine’s reign. In 325 at Nicaea the Christian Creed was composed, and many other writings that formed the Holly Bible were retouched trying to give a certain form, useful to the emperor.
Conclusion and Future Challenge V. Bibliography ii I. INTRODUCTION AND WORLDVIEW SUMMARY The subject of this paper is Liberation Theology.

The principal beliefs of Christianity are highlighted in the Ten Commandments, the Nicene Creed, the Beatitudes and the Golden Rule. The principal beliefs of Christianity are influenced by Judaism. As a monotheistic religion, adherents believe there is strictly only one God, originating from the Jewish YHWH. Christians believe that God is the Trinity, meaning one being of three co-equal persons – the Father who is the creator and sustainer of all life, the Son who is the redeemer, and the Holy Spirit which is the sanctifier. Christians believe that God created the world and all that is in it.
This intended that he was the divine Son of God and recognised as being ‘one with the Father’. Christian adherents believe of the divinity through the birth of Virgin Mary and the Son of God. Shown in the scripture passage Matthew 1:16, “and to Jacob was born Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ”, this can explicitly identify the Virgin birth, thus showing divinity. He was recognised as being human, living with normal human restrictions and sufferings however; was considered Son of God as his life, death and resurrection plays importance in humanity. Through the divinity and humanity of the Christ, Christians and believers share the stories through word of mouth.
Overall the Puritans were a religious group with a core of specific beliefs that are at the essence of the Puritan Faith. Those two beliefs are the belief that man is predestined or divided into two groups, the damned and the elect. The second core belief is that of free grace versus a doctrine of works. This means that man cannot save himself by changing his ways and doing good deeds. Instead it means than humanity is only saved by the free grace and mere good will of God and that whosoever believes in Christ and has faith may escape Hell.
Christianity Framework Jasmin Bradshaw 24284 Grand Canyon University October 23, 2008 Introduction Christianity is a religion that arose from the teaching of Jesus Christ. It has an ancient history from that time and has since then diverged into Catholicism and many sects of Protestantism. Christianity is a monotheistic religion centered on the life and teaching of Jesus of Nazareth as presented in the New Testament. To Christians, Jesus Christ is a teacher, the model of a virtuous life, the revealer of God and most importantly the Savior of humanity who suffered, died and was resurrected to bring about salvation from sins. What should be in the framework that is
In light of this information they were able to give us answers to questions regarding the modernism of Christianity, and give us a good understanding of the continuing diversity of the Christian movement. According to Ferguson, the specific accusations against Christians were incest, cannibalism, and atheism. A Christian atheist of the second century was someone who did not observe or follow the traditional religious practices, of the Roman culture. Christians insisted that there was only one God. The Romans could not understand the communion or Eucharist and assumed there was cannibalism happening.
Martin Luther was responsible for igniting reformation. When Martin Luther came back from Germany to Rome in 1510, he emerged as a critic of the catholic papacy. He believed that the Catholic Church was wrong in teaching that salvation could be earned by doing good deeds and buy indulgencies. Martin Luther’s beliefs were fundamentally made up of three principles, Sola Fide “by faith alone”, sola scriptura “by scriptura alone”, and sola gratia “by grace alone”. Luther believed that the religious truth can be reach by reading the bible.
This act of nailing his Thesis to the church door has become a symbolic defining moment of the birth of the Protestant Reformation. * In conclusion, Martin Luther was disillusioned with the Church of Rome because of the unbiblical behavior of church officials, the sale of indulgences, and the amount of power given by the Church to its hierarchy. Luther became a prominent theologian; his desire for people to feel closer to God led him to translate the Bible into the language of the people, radically changing the relationship between church leaders and their followers.
