This document outlines some of the key beliefs of Christianity. It notes that Christianity is based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ as described in the New Testament of the Bible, which also includes the Old Testament originating from Judaism. Some of the early doctrines developed by church councils include beliefs that Jesus is both God and God's son, that the Bible contains the word of God, and that Jesus died and rose from the dead, proving his divinity. Christianity incorporates the Trinity, which believes God exists as three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The document also states that Christianity and Judaism were both founded in the Middle East and that Christians believe those who do not accept Jesus will not go to heaven
This document discusses different types of vocations in the Catholic Church. It begins by defining vocation as a mission God calls a person to do. It then explores how God calls people in various ways, using the examples of St. Paul and St. Matthew. The document outlines vocations such as the priesthood, religious life in orders like Franciscans and Jesuits, marriage, and single life. It emphasizes that every baptized Christian has a vocation to follow Christ and help others become holy. The key is discerning one's calling through prayer, listening to God and the Church, and ultimately responding with a "yes" to God's plan.
This document discusses different vocations and callings in life, including married life, religious life, and single life. It describes the elements of a calling as being a mystery, personal, and involving sacrifice and mission. A calling is realized through commitment, motivation, and formation. It also discusses obstacles to living according to God's calling, such as love of flesh, sensual love, and worldly love. The key aspects of a calling are commitment over mere motivation and allowing God to guide one's path.
A Christian can be a traditional chief under certain conditions:
- Christians and chiefs both pray to the same creator, though Christians pray through faith alone without rituals while chiefs incorporate rituals like animal sacrifices.
- A true Christian cannot perform the rituals and sacrifices expected of a chief, as that would go against Christianity. Christians believe God demonstrates his love through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, not through additional sacrifices.
- So a Christian can be a chief if the role does not require traditional rituals and sacrifices, but performing the full expected duties of a chief would conflict with Christianity.

Christians believe that after death, people go to one of three places: heaven, purgatory, or hell. Those who have lived good lives go to heaven, those with sins go to purgatory to work them off, and those who have lived bad lives or don't work off sins go to hell. The Bible describes heaven as a place without pain or suffering where God will look after people. Christians believe in life after death based on the story of Jesus, who was resurrected after dying. There is no scientific proof of an afterlife, but most religions involve beliefs about what happens after death.

Does Absolute Truth Exist? Class # 1 introkandcrog
"Pilate said to Jesus, "Are You a King then?" Jesus answered, "You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice." Pilate said to Him, "What is truth?"
What is truth? In our world today many seem to have decided "truth" is whatever they want it to be. Even when individuals are presented with strong and undisputed evidence, if it is not to their liking, they will not accept it as true for them. But for Christians this is not an option. However, there is powerful and convincing proof that Christianity is the one true religion, that the triune God who reveals himself in the Bible is the one and only God of the universe, and Jesus Christ died for our sins so that we may live. Yet many choose to ignore the evidence and instead hold to other beliefs.
We will use the book "I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist" by Norman L Geisler and Frank Truek to explore the topic of Christian Apologetics. We will study together and discuss the reasons for our faith as believers in Jesus Christ and we will equip ourselves to help skeptics who are open to the truth to see the real truth.
The Essentials of Apologetics - Why Christianity (Part 3)?Robin Schumacher
This document is a presentation on why Christianity provides compelling answers to life's key questions about origin, purpose, and the afterlife. It summarizes atheistic views which conclude that life has no higher purpose or meaning. It then examines Christian teachings that humanity was created by God, should live with love, has purpose defined by God, and faces an afterlife of either eternal life with God or separation from him. The document asserts that Christianity alone can provide meaning, truth, love and security. It argues that through Jesus, God demonstrates his love for humanity and offers forgiveness and salvation as gifts through faith in him.
The document discusses several Catholic teachings regarding life after death:
- Heaven is believed to be a place of paradise where God rules and souls go after being purified of sin.
- Hell is thought to be a place of punishment where souls who die without repenting for sins are sent.
- Purgatory is considered a temporary place for souls to be cleansed of venial sins before entering heaven.
- Belief in the immortality of the soul and resurrection of the body on Judgement Day are core Christian doctrines.
The document contains a Catholic quiz bowl with multiple choice questions about Catholic teachings, practices, history, and doctrine. There are over 50 questions on topics like the sacraments, prayer, morality, scripture, saints, and papal leadership. The questions are designed to test knowledge of basic Catholic concepts and test understanding of the Catholic faith.

First reply:
The quote for this option resonated with me quite a bit. It opened my eyes reading this option as in my opinion, believing in the resurrection of Jesus Christ is a fundamental belief of all of Christianity. I do not think that someone can claim to be a Christian and yet deny that Christ was resurrected on the third day after his crucifixion. In the Bible this is illustrated quite clearly: "if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9) Obviously scripture makes this pretty cut and dry, but something that really stuck out to me was not from the Bible, but rather our assigned reading this week. From the Resurrection and Ascension section, "there must be some historical truth in the claims of Jesus’ Resurrection, for no one trying to build a case would have rested it on the testimony of women, who had little status in a patriarchal society.” (Fisher, pg. 320) this opened my eyes a bit because I never thought of it in this sense. Of course women did not have the equal social and economic status back then as they do today in the majority of the world, so the fact that the two Marys were the first people to witness Jesus after death really lends credit to the truthfulness of the Bible. Further, I would argue that the most fundamental belief of Christianity is that Christ died to forgive the sins of all of humanity, and resurrected to rule alongside his Father in Heaven. The belief in Christ's resurrection is necessary in order to subscribe to the entire narrative of Christ being the savior and messiah of all of humanity. Without Christ's resurrection he simply becomes a martyr, or perhaps a false prophet to many people. It is his "otherworldly" resurrection that signifies his status as the savior of mankind.
Second Reply:
Hello classmates and professor,
This week I chose option A which states "the whole Christian Church stands or falls based upon the historical resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead." This seems to be a great debate, and I thought it'd be interesting to research. After review it seems the loyal believers of the resurrection have a few facts that they abide by. Below are those facts.
1. The Empty Tomb
2. The Burial
3. The Guard
4. The Disciples
5. The post resurrection appearance
6. The enemies of Christ gave no refutation of the resurrection
To the believers these are the undeniable facts that they go by to support that the resurrection took place. Now i will lay out the facts that the doubters go by.
1. There is no external historical confirmation of the New Testament stories
2. The New Testament stories are internally contradictory.
3. There are natural explanations for the origins of the Jesus legend
4. T.
The Church in the Life of the Faithful: The Universal Call to HolinessDr. Poornima DSouza
The document discusses the universal call to holiness in the Catholic Church. It states that all lay people share in the common priesthood of Christ and are called to sanctify their lives and become holy. While individuals cannot achieve holiness on their own, the Church provides graces through the sacraments and its guidance to help lay people grow spiritually. The document also outlines how lay people can participate in their common priesthood through sacrifice and offering their lives to God, and explains that their secular vocation in the world is how they transform society according to God's will.
The document is a chapter from a book by Watchman Nee on basic lessons for practical Christian living. It discusses two key aspects of baptism: (1) What baptism can do for a person and (2) The real meaning of baptism. Regarding the first, it asserts that baptism leads to salvation, which means being saved out of the world and its condemnation, rather than just personal salvation from hell. Baptism signifies coming out of the world's brotherhood and into God's. The second part will explain baptism as symbolizing dying and rising with Christ.
The document summarizes interviews conducted with 10 security guards about their views of Jesus Christ. It finds that the guards see Jesus as a humble, suffering Savior and Redeemer who helps them through hard times. Their knowledge of Christ comes mainly from weekly Mass attendance. They view Jesus as distinct from God the Father but still see him as the human image of God. Overall, Jesus plays an important role in their daily lives as they struggle and live in hope of redemption.
The document summarizes interviews conducted with 10 security guards about their views of Jesus Christ. It finds that the guards see Jesus as a humble, suffering figure who redeems and saves, reflecting their own experiences of hardship. They view Jesus and God the Father as distinct, with Jesus as a more relatable human image. The guards' religious knowledge comes mainly from weekly mass attendance. They are drawn to traditional Catholic practices like fasting that are endorsed by the Church. Overall, Jesus is a central part of the guards' daily lives as they struggle but live in hope of Christ the Redeemer.
This document discusses reasons why people believe in life after death from both religious and non-religious perspectives. Religiously, Christians believe in life after death based on passages from the Bible describing heaven and hell. The resurrection of Jesus also supports the idea of an afterlife. Non-religiously, some cite paranormal experiences like ghosts or near-death experiences as evidence. However, others remain unconvinced due to lack of scientific evidence or inconsistencies between religious accounts of the afterlife.
