Recommended: How religion affects child development
The concept that made the biggest impact on the way I see the world was the Chesapeake Bay unit in my 7th grade science class. I chose this because it taught me how incredibly damaged our world is. Every creature on earth affects us one way or another and they can help us in the long run. Also, that unit taught me how much littering hurts the world
The Bible is a filter for our belief system. 2 Timothy 3:16 (NIV) reads “All Scripture is God-Breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness. ” We may not always agree with one’s opinions but asking the right questions respectfully sets a firm foundation for
Likewise, I was taught about God before I even began attending school. My entire family, including my ancestors practiced the Christian religion. My brother is currently a Pastor at his own church that my children and I attend weekly. It’s difficult for me to change my beliefs after being raised around nothing but believers and taught that through faith, Christians know that God exists. It was interesting to learn of different reasons that others have for believing or nor believing in God.
Have you ever wondered who conquered the most land? What about if anyone constantly won wars?Or if even someone had a place named after them. Alexander The Great was all of the answers. Alexander the Great was known for conquering the most land in his time period.
But how many of us struggle with it and don’t realize it? Sometimes, we go through the bible or we attend service, and pick and choose what exactly we desire. If the apostle Paul wasn’t afraid to proclaim the “whole counsel of God...”(Acts 20:27), then does that mean we are only expected to observe some of it and some of the time? Peter in 2 Peter 1:3 informs us as Christians we have been given by God “All things pertaining to life and godliness.” There’s nothing that God has instructed his Body, his bride, the Church, that is okay to not apply to your life.
A biblical worldview will effect everything I do in my life. One of the most important things is the way we treat and interact with others. It start with the way we think about others, if we know them or not we should see them through the eye of compassion. We must be careful not to judge people because of what we know or don 't know about them. How you speak and treat them will determine if you will ever be able to help them or not.
Going to a Christian school affected me because the Christian Church taught me what was right and what was wrong. So, if someone comes up to me saying that God isn’t real I’ll listen to them, but not agree with them on any subject that they're trying to persuade me to believe. I regard people that don’t have the same beliefs as me nicely because I don’t want to come
I 'm a people pleaser. I think being born when I was has affected me tremendously. It has affected me by making me more aware of what is happening around me at a younger age. I noticed in grade school that I had more common sense, understood the real world and could comprehend adult
Although because of who I was and how I was raised, I developed myself on a basis of my family. Over the past 12 years my parents took my brother and I to Cambodian monastery temples. I recall going to ones in Silver Spring, MD, Chicago, IL, Atlanta, GA, Nashville, TN, and here in Lexington, and Louisville, KY. Experiencing different communities helped shaped my understanding of what diversity really means. My parents did not take me to these temples to put the knowledge
I like to consider myself as a religious individual, and knowing what impact religion had on the development of the new world is exciting stuff. To me religion is important, the fact that we’re now free to decide on our religion is also important. That being said is why I choose to read the article, Religion as a Factor in the Early Development of Ohio by Margaret J. Mitchell. I know that every religion as of now, and before have been trying to expand. They have been doing so by preaching in large amounts of conferences to try to reach the people and convert them.
I refused to stereotype and discriminate, and I paid a price for that. Despite the names I was called and the rudeness I experienced when I refused to join in as people expressed their judgmental beliefs, I stayed true to my beliefs. I defended people, regardless of how I felt about them personally. I believe that if you insist on disliking someone, it should be because of who they are, not what they are. It was a long journey before I became as unbiased as I am now.
C.S. Lewis once said, “I believe in Christ, like I believe in the sun- not because I can see it, but by it I can see everything else.” I have used this quote as a guide for myself throughout my journey to finding the Lord. Putting my faith into someone “intangible” and having faith in Christ has not been an easy task for me, given I was not raised in an extremely religious household. However, I was about fourteen when I discovered God’s word, felt my heart swell with happiness, and fell in love with Christ. That day changed my life entirely, and completely changed my outlook of the world.
When my parents split around fourth grade, I changed. I began to rapidly gain weight and could not lose it because of my family’s history. I also became very anti-social and stayed in my room with a vow of silence that I put on myself. One last thing that I believe shaped me not growing up understanding the going to Grandma’s for dinner stereotype. Two of my four grandparents, both of my grandpas, passed away before I was born.
I was raised as a Christian and embraced the faith for many years. During this time, I read the entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, rejecting all other religions as bogus, believing that Christianity was the only true pathway to God and salvation. It was while studying at the University of the West Indies that I began to question the rationality of my beliefs. The churches that I had attended were Anglican and Missionary, and the doctrines of many other denominations were alien to me. So I invited Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons into my home and engaged them in conversations regarding their beliefs, as well as entertaining dialogue with Roman Catholics, Seventh-day Adventists, Pentecostals and others.
The religious arguments precisely mean that experiences are part of religion and contribute towards ups and downs of faith, achievement and doubts. The religious experiences are ones which are connected to God or God’s action. The religious experiences are divine according to some philosophers and therefore God Exists. These experiences are on the whole similar to perceptions or also taken as vertical and further more they show world accurately according to some philosophers these religious experiences are similar to each other.
