How Has Christianity Impacted My Life

460 Words2 Pages

My entire life has been full of religion. When I say this I mean that I grew up in a VERY religious family. I’ve also had friends that were the same, or even different religion as me. My religion growing up was Christianity. In this essay I will talk about three main points in how Christianity has impacted my life. I will discuss church, friendships, and my attitude towards life. Ever since I can remember, my parents have brought me to church with them whenever they go. The first church I can remember going to is Desert Springs. Throughout the years we changed churches multiple times. Last year a good friend invited me to SouthWest Church. Since then, I have stayed at that church. I also go to a youth group on Wednesday’s with my friends. Through church I have made many friends that I still know today. When I was younger my parents had friends that were Catholic. They had a daughter that was my age and we grew up together. To this day we still talk. At my youth group I made a lot of friends, including my best friend today. When I first started school, I was put …show more content…

Throughout my years of learning about my religion, I have also learned about other religions such as Catholicism, Buddhism, and Hinduism. These all have helped me look at life differently than most people. If you only have an understanding of your own religion, you wouldn’t look at anyones point of view but your own. Buddhism has taught me to be forgiving and patient. It has also taught me to think before I act or speak. Catholicism has taught me how to act internally and how to be respectful. Hinduism has taught me about diversity-how everyone is human and everyone should be treated like one. I have learned a lot from these religions that I will cling onto for the rest of my life. Christianity has impacted me the most. I learned to look at life more optimistically and be forgiving. I am who I am today because of my religion and I am proud to say

They would have a story lined up that we would most likely be able to relate to our daily lives, and they would teach us about how we could live our lives in the way Jesus would want us to, this story is mostly talked about in the sermon at the church services. In my church, the guests will be greeted by people, those they may know and those they do not. I think everybody is super friendly with each other and that is what makes church so enjoyable to me—the feeling of a community around. Once greeted at the front door, I will go ahead and walk

When I arrived in Columbus I felt extremely lost. I had no clue why I went to a school so far away and a school where I hardly fit in. After a few weeks of being in Columbus, a few of my friends invited me to go to church with them. I was weary of going. I had only been to church a few times in my life and always felt so out of place.

However, I have been intrigued by the Buddhist religion. My interest was spurred by the fact that my brother converted to Buddhism some years ago. I have visited the Buddhist Temple of San Antonio and have attended services there. The things that the Monk and the worshipers did and said followed along the same lines as described in the article I reviewed – relieve yourself of worry, honor and improve yourself, it is better to give than to receive, treat others with respect no matter the interaction, keep an open

The classes that I attended on Sunday were based around the religion. We would have conversations about how each of us experienced the topic on a daily basis or what we thought that the topic meant in a deeper way. These conversations helped us see not everyone will see a topic the same way as you and that your response isn’t the only valid one, and this gave me a deeper perspective. Everyone has a different view on religion and life, so the responses would be quite different from one person to the next.

Jean-Paul Sartre and Soren Kierkegaard are two widely known existentialists who agree on many of the main principles of existentialism, but also disagree on several of the finer details. For example, they both agree that what matters most is action. What a person actually does is what defines the person, and the process of defining one’s self never ceases. By comparing and contrasting how they portray the emotion of anguish - specifically, in Kierkegaard’s Fear and Trembling and Sartre’s The Humanism of Existentialism – we see another example of the two agreeing on some principles while disagreeing on others.

Before I discuss my experience at Grace Lutheran Church I feel it would be beneficial to explain my Church Background, so that you can better understand my outsider view of the Sunday morning worship Service I attended. I have been raised in the Baptist/Southern Baptist church my entire life. My parents are from South Carolina, which is also where I grew up, so our idea of Church has always been a small community with a very relaxed atmosphere. I stopped attending the Baptists church when I was 16. I chose to join Bent-tree Bible Fellowship, a non-denominational church.

Because I am Mexican and live in a predominately Hispanic town, nearly everybody I know is Catholic. My friends, my teachers, and even my loved ones. It was difficult to explain to them that I did not share their beliefs. I was labeled and judged by many of those around me (which I found ironic considering Matthew 7:1). I began to feel pretty low, until I realized that our Lord Jesus was too judged and labeled and even humiliated for everyone to see.

While modern Western society might seem secular, with attendance at religious services in a decline throughout North America and Western Europe, it is impossible to overstate the impact that Christianity has had on Western culture, dating back to the founding of the Church but continuing to the present day. As it says in the novel we are reading, A Short History of Christianity, Stephen Tompkins says that, “Christianity infused the western world over a millennium, shaping landscape, language, music, art, family life, the law, the shape of society, the very way our minds work.” Throughout the long history of the church, it has served as a significant source of such ancillary services as medical care and education, political and religious leadership

Although Christianity do follow basic practices, Christianity is categorized to be more as a relationship with Jesus (anointed one) in a growing faith, rather than a ritualistic religion. In this research essay, we are going to view the different components that make up Christianity such as its origin, its sacred books, central beliefs, practices, and compare the relation that exist between Christianity and other religions by studying and comprehending information found on various primary and secondary sources. As the central doctrine of Christianity, the Bible will be heavily referenced
