cross tattoos are mainly associated with religion‚ as you might expect‚ and are very closely associated with the Christian religion in particular.

differences can be seen. The idea of the Christian Hell has evolved from older beliefs. Originally Jews believed all dead people went to a gloomy place called Sheol. During the time of Christ‚ Jews then believed the wicked were separated from the good and put into a foul burning valley called Gehenna. The idea of Gehenna was created for reasons of justice.

Based on my own Christian worldview‚ that the Bible‚ the Word of God‚ is the absolute truth‚ and the answers and directions in life can be found within it. Kring‚ Johnson‚ Davison‚ & Neale‚ (2014) define psychopathology as the nature‚ development and treatment of mental disorders. Personally‚ I feel best describing psychopathology as labeling what we do not quite understand or attempting to define the imperfections of humans. In the Bible‚ we are taught that we are created in the image of God

This notion of expressing the inexpressible is at the core of Christian worship. For instance‚ the liturgy is charged with communicating the concept of anamnesis‚ or “making known God’s salvific event in the present”.

I think that a real Christian teaches others the way of Christ‚ but also realizes that they themselves also have room to grow. They also are not hypocritical to what they are teaching. A verse that I think helps support this is 1 John 4:20: "Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister‚ whom they have seen‚ cannot love God‚ whom they have not seen." If someone tells you to love your neighbor‚ and yet they turn around and do

To state that Luther‚ in his essay: Treatise on Christian Liberty destroyed the motivation to live a morally good life would be an all too quick and equally false presumption. Rather‚ I feel that the opposite is true. In dealing with Luther’s essay as well as my own personal beliefs I feel that Luther in fact strengthens every Christian’s motivation for faith by way of grace and in relation‚ the use of works to exude an already present faith in Christ. Though it may seem that Luther shuns the

If I was to compare Christian Theism to naturalism‚ it is the very opposite. Because a Christian knows God exit a naturalist denies the exits of God. Yes‚ we believe in a God we can not see; faith is a big part of this. He has proven Himself to us; some people have experience miracles‚ and healing. Naturalist
