The Multiple Ways To See The Types Of Christ

By Barbara Collins


Life is all about certain things, certain milestones that a person is expected to hit. First, they are expected to cry out, just to let their parents know they are alive. Then are expected to grow up, go to school, and then graduate college. Then they are supposed to find a job, to find gainful employment. Over the course of all of that, they are supposed to find a romantic partner, preferably someone of an opposite gender. The pairing is then expected to produce at least one child, although two or three are preferred. Then, they are supposed to buy a house, a home where they can put their family so they will be safe and comfortable behind a white picket fence. Society also dictates that the whole family is to trudge to a place of worship at least one time a week, where under the guidance of a reverend or a priest, they will ponder on the types of Christ.

Religion is an organized set of spiritual beliefs. There will usually be a central figure, a spiritual founder. Now, there will be places of worships, usually churches or temples of some sort. There will also be some behavioral guidelines that the believers are expected to follow every day in their lives.

Christianity is the most sizable religion in the world. One third of the population is a believer in it. It can trace its genesis back to what the world now knows as the Middle East. It is an Abrahamic religion, meaning that is a relative of both Judaism and Islam.

There are a number of reasons that people worship. For a lot of people, it is a habit, something that they did as children and they carry into adulthood. Some individuals can fake religious beliefs in order to manipulate others for their own gain. And of course, there are simply those who sincerely believe in a higher power.

Now, the founder of Christianity is often referred to as Christ. The word itself is a title which means the anointed one. This means that Christian believe that their founder, a humbler carpenter, was divine.

Which leads to the aspect of being the redeemer. Most religions show a higher power that brings forth thunder and lightning to bring about some retribution to those that commit sins. But the carpenter preached a message of redemption, of a supreme being who will forgive those who commit transgression against others.

There is a belief that the carpenter was a king, born to a prophecy. Born to redeem and lead the world. This is a point of contention with the other Abrahamic religions, as the others see the carpenter as a prophet, a great prophet, but prophet nonetheless.

Then there is another aspect, that of the prophet. In essence, this may be most readily believed. Because the carpenter did wander the desert and did spread about a gospel of love to fellow man, or at the very least, a modicum of decency, of not being a dick to other.

Now, people are different from each other. While they are not all entirely unique, there is enough distinction that no two individuals are totally the same. Which is why even faith has many interpretations.
