Christianity
Christianity is a monotheistic religion that originated in present day Palestine as a sect of Judaism. Its core belief is in the ‘Trinity’, the three manifestations of God: the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is the Son and was appointed by God to be the savior of mankind. He lived his human life like anyone else on earth but chose to die in pain, for the sake and salvation of mankind, and was resurrected from his grave so that Christians can be reconciled with their Creator, given salvation and thereby able to enter Heaven. The message of Christ is therefore called the Gospel which means ‘goods news’. Christians further believe that Jesus will return to mankind in order to judge them and give immortality to all true believers.
Boomer Yearbook, the website for baby boomers containing psychological articles as proposed solutions to types of discrimination, found that Christianity is the largest practiced religion in the world with 1.5 to 2 billion followers and hundreds of sects or denominations. Such numbers and further divisions are indicative of the complexity of Christian beliefs which nonetheless share the basic beliefs described above. However, the rest is highly varied, according to the peoples and cultures wherein the Christian faith has found roots. Eastern Orthodoxy, Roman Catholicism, Protestantism, and Oriental Orthodoxy are the major groupings.
The Christian religion is founded around Jesus’ beliefs, controversies, character and actions. His birth was a miracle conceived by the Holy Spirit (the third aspect of the Trinity) from the mother of Christ, the Virgin Mary. The Gospels do not record his youth in detail but accounts of his adulthood are extensive in the Gospels of Mathew and Luke and his teachings, preaching, baptism, miracles and deeds are well documented in these Gospels. The death and resurrection of Christ rests on a higher plateau in Christian theology, as was discovered by our team of writers of psychological articles. The essential aspect of his resurrection is Christ’s power over life and death and therefore the power to give life to others. This Godlike power along with the ability to perform miracles lends credence to Jesus Christ as the incarnation of God.
Christianity has been resilient in adapting to different regions, ethnicities, even continents, which shows that the concepts it symbolizes have resonance for all mankind and appeal to something in people regardless of superficial divisions of race, color, and creed.
