Christian beliefs (God (The trinity (The holy ghost, The father, The son),…

- - - - "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."
  - - - Jesus was crucified for two different reason: the first is that many fellow Jews simply did not believe Jesus was the Messiah. Many assumed he was either a madman or a liar. Hence when the romans offered for him to be saved from crucifixion in favour of crucifying Barabbas, a murderer, the they chose to free Barabbas over Jesus. So why did the Romans want Yeezus dead anyway? One reason was the same as the Jews’: he was “falsely” claiming to be “King of the Jews”. From a bureaucratic point of view, however, it is more likely that the Romans saw Jesus as a threat to the Romans power in the middle east: it was for told that he would lead the Jews against the Romans.
  - - - Salvation
        
        Salvation means being accepted by god and having the assurance of eternal life
        
        There are two different types of salvation.
        
        ‘Salvation through law’ is the concept of god (or someone else) saving us and helping us to be a better people by using law and rules to guide us in the right direction.
        
        “Salvation through grace” means that if god loves us, and has mercy for our shortcomings, we can rest assured that he will save us and lead us no matter what, as his mercy is infinite.
- - - - Human lives have purpose and value as we are all made in the image of god.
      - Because we are made in the image of god, we all must be equal
      - It shows the earth planned and sustained by god
  - - - We use earthly images, such as heaven and hell, to explain eternity after death
- - - - Moral evil: the devil tempts people; humans have free will, so will abuse it.
      - Natural evil: suffering is allowed as punishment for our wrong-doing. It is also a test of faith, such as in the Book of Job.
  - - - Original sin is the doctrine that all humans are born evil and sinful, as it is a vice we have inherited from Adam and Eve. In traditional Christian teaching, original sin is the result Adam and Eve's disobedience to God when they ate of the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden.
      - Many also see it as solution to the problem of evil: as humans are incurably evil by nature, and god does not want to deprive us of free will, it means that suffering will always happen as result of human actions.
    - - One way christians might be affected by sin is by being affected by crime. Crime has a far greater effect on us because it is more visible and often has a more immediate impact. Crime forces us to seek security so that it does not touch us in a painful way.
        Another way is by other people’s unjust actions, that are wrong and anti-social by not necessarily a crime.
