Christianity
The Followers of Jesus Christ
The Most Important Belief
Christians believe that they should follow the teachings of Jesus, when they believe that Jesus died for their sins they will be accepted to eternal life.
Extremists
Extremists justify their actions because they believe that only Christians will be saved. They believe that Jesus won't return if not everyone believes.
Belief
Christians want to follow the teachings of Jesus, because they believe that it will gain them eternal life.
Current Events
Right now the United States is having a discussion on the use of torture for prisoners of war. Jesus taught to be fair to everyone and "to do unto them as you would have them do unto you.". I believe we are not following the teachings of Jesus because we are torturing others but we do not want to be tortured ourselves.
Art
This is a stained glass window in The First Church of Christ Scientist in Concord, NH made by the A.B. Cutter Company. The cross and the crown together symbolize that through suffering we reach heaven.
Song
The song I chose is Rock of Ages by Augustus Montague Toplady. "Rock Of Ages"
Rock Of ages cleft for me
Let me hide myself in thee
Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in thee
Let the water and the blood
From thy riven side which flowed
Be of sin the double cure
Cleanse me from it's guilt and power
Nothing in my hand I bring
Simply to thy cross I cling
Nothing In my hand I bring
Simply to thy cross I cling
Naked, come to thee for dress
Helpless, look to thee for grace
Vile, I to the fountain fly
Wash me Savior, or I die
Rock of ages cleft for me
Let me hide myself in thee
Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in thee
