51. CHRISTIANITY AND THE SURVIVAL OF CREATION
- www.crosscurrents.org
- Christianity and The Survival of Creation.
- I want to begin with a problem: namely, that the culpability of Christianity in the destruction of the natural world, and the uselessness of Christianity to any effort to correct that destruction, are now established cliches of the conservation movement. This is a problem for two reasons: First, the indictment of Christianity by the anti-Christian conservationists is, in many respects, just. ...
- The conservationist indictment of Christianity is a problem, secondly, because, however just it may be, it does not come from an adequate understanding of the Bible and the cultural traditions that descend from the Bible. ...
- If, because of these discrepancies, Christianity were dismissable, there would, of course, be no problem. ... But there is an enormous number of people, and I am one of them, whose native religion, for better or worse, is Christianity. ...
- If we read the Bible, keeping in mind the desirability of those two survivals--of Christianity and the Creation--we are apt to discover several things that modern Christian organizations have kept remarkably quiet about, or have paid little attention to. ...
- But what keeps it from being far better known than it is? Why is it apparently unknown to millions of professed students of the Bible? How can modem Christianity have so solemnly folded its hands while so much of the work of God was and is being destroyed? .
- Probably the most urgent question now faced by people who would adhere to the Bible is this: What sort of economy would be responsible to the holiness of life? What, for Christians, would be the economy, the practices and the restraints, of "right livelihood"? I do not believe that organized Christianity now has any idea. ... Obviously, if Christianity is going to survive as more than a respecter and comforter of profitable iniquities, then Christians, regardless of their organizations, are going to have to interest themselves in economy--which is to say, in nature and in work. ...
- This madness constitutes the normality of modern humanity and of modern Christianity. ...
- In denying the holiness of the body and of the so-called "physical reality" of the world -- and in denying its support to the economic means by which alone the Creation can receive due honor -- modern Christianity has cut itself off from both nature and culture. ...
- Modern Christianity has become, then, in its organizations, as specialized as other modern organizations, wholly concentrated upon the industrial shibboleths of "growth," counting its success in numbers, and upon the very strange enterprise of "saving" the individual, isolated, and disembodied soul. ... Whatever its twentieth-century dress, modern Christianity as I know it is still at bottom the religion of Miss Watson, intent upon a dull and superstitious rigmarole by which supposedly we can avoid going to "the bad place" and instead go to "the good place. ...
- Despite its protests to the contrary, modern Christianity has become willy-nilly the religion of the state and the economic status quo. ... But in its de facto alliance with Caesar, Christianity connives directly in the murder of Creation. ...
52. Exploring Africa -> Students-> Religion in Africa-> Christianity
- exploringafrica.matrix.msu.edu
- Activity Four: Christianity in Africa: Explain.
- Christianity is based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, a Jewish teacher and prophet. ... This is a major difference between Christianity and Judaism and Islam, the two other major monotheistic religions. ...
- Although the early Christian church suffered persecution at the hands of Roman officials, the fact that Palestine was part of the Roman Empire facilitated the rapid spread of Christianity. Christianity, like Islam, is a proselytizing religion. ... Early Christians came from the Jewish tradition, but they believed that the message and teachings of Jesus were meant for all people, and they used the transportation networks (roads, shipping routes) to spread the message of Christianity throughout the Roman Empire-or the Mediterranean World-areas of western Asia, North Africa, and southern Europe that bordered the Mediterranean Sea. ...
- Look at the Map Christianity in Africa, notice how close Africa is to Palestine where Christianity started. Given this proximity, it is not surprising that Christianity spread to Egypt and North Africa in the first century C. ... Unfortunately, Christians today don't know much about the rich tradition of Christianity in Egypt and North Africa. This is because of the divisions that developed in Christianity in the first centuries of its existence. ...
- This is what happened in the case of Christianity. Unlike the case with Islam, in the early centuries of Christianity, there was no sacred text of the teachings and revelations of Jesus. ...
- You probably have not heard of this group, although they were very important and influential in the early history of Christianity. One of the other major factions of the early Christianity was centered in Rome. ... Recognizing the importance of a sacred text in solidifying their control over Christianity, the Roman faction brought together a collection of writings by early Christians and proclaimed these writings were inspired by God and that they were the true testament of the life and teachings of Jesus. ...
- In spite of the repression of the Gnostic Christians by Roman Christians, Christianity continued to flourish throughout North Africa until the arrival of Islam in the seventh century C. ...
53. Article: Missiology
- www.wikipedia.org
- Because mission science considers both the positive and the negative consequences, as well as the strategies of the spread of Christianity, missiology also touches on the environmental impact of evangelization and charitable work, including practical facets of international politics and economic development. One of its most difficult challenges is to distinguish between Christian practices that are essential to Christianity and therefore must be practiced by Christians in all cultures, and other strictly cultural expressions of Christianity that can be changed and adapted to a different culture. ...

- History of Christianity in Korea: From Its Troubled Beginning to .
- Since the introduction of Catholicism in 1784, followed by the arrival of Protestant missionaries in 1884, Christianity has proceeded to become--after Buddhism--the largest religion in the country. ...
- In reviewing the history of Korean Christianity, we note certain peculiar circumstances of Korean history: Korea's long history of vulnerability to Chinese and Japanese control, Japanese colonialism and the Korean War, afforded Christianity a unique opportunity to offer a compelling salvation ethos and promise of both personal and national empowerment. ...
- In view of this, this paper starts with an overview on the origins of Christianity in Korea, focussing on the initial impact of Western missionary efforts, which began in earnest in the middle of eighteenth century. ...
- However, there are traces of contact with Christianity as far back as 1592--many members of the invading Japanese armies of Toyotomi Hideyoshi were converted Christians (Min, 1982: 4044). ...
- Christianity commands ultimate loyalty to God. ...
- The growth of the Catholic church at this time was also indirectly aided by the ascension of King Ch'o1jong (1849-1863), who was tolerant of the new doctrine due, at least in part, to the conversion of his family, notably his father-in-law, Kim Mungrin, to Christianity. ...
- , Christianity's threat, real or imagined, to the Confucian-based society, and the prominence of Christianity among the politically ousted faction--what marked the latest persecution was that the problems which prompted it were due to external pressures on Korea at the time. ...
- Because of numerous coastal confrontations between Korea and the Western powers during that period, Christianity became identified with the Western "gunboat diplomacy", and foreign Catholic missionaries, who were residing illegally in Korea, were perceived by the government as agents of foreign powers. ...
- Over the next decade, missionaries from several mission bodies arrived in Korea --Presbyterian (Northern branch) in 1884, Methodist Episcopal (North) in 1885, Canadian Baptists in 1889, Church of England in 1890, Presbyterian (Southern branch) in 1892, Canadian Presbyterian in 1893, and Methodist Episcopal (South) in 1896--adding to both the physical and spiritual presence of Christianity. ...
- As nation-wide efforts for a speedy mass evangelization of the country, the Revival of 1907 and the "Million Movement" not only had a profound impact on the propagation of Christianity but also offered an outlet for the expression of Korean nationalism. ...
- A more compelling reason for the change in its policy, however, was the prominence of Christians in the independence movement and Christianity's association with the rise of Korean nationalism. Two events that forged the link between Christianity and Korean nationalism were the Conspiracy Trial of 1911 and the Independence Movement of 1919 or Samil Undong. ...
- The brutal suppression of this demonstration and the prominence of Christians among those persecuted thus produced a strong link between Christianity and Korean nationalism. ...

60. Parker:THE TRANSIENT AND PERMANENT IN CHRISTIANITY
- www.itsnet.com
- THE TRANSIENT AND PERMANENT IN CHRISTIANITY .
- Yet there are some, who are affrighted by the faintest rustle which a heretic makes among the dry leaves of theology; they tremble lest Christianity it self should perish without hope. Ever and anon the cry is raised, "The Philistines be upon us, and Christianity is in danger. " The least doubt respecting the popular theology, or the existing machinery of the church; the least sign of distrust in the Religion of the Pulpit, or the Religion of the Street, is by some good men supposed to be at enmity with faith in Christ, and capable of shaking Christianity itself. On the other hand, a few bad men and a few pious men, it is said, on both sides of the water, tell us the day of Christianity is past. The latter -- it is alleged -- would persuade us that, hereafter, Piety must take a new form; the teachings of Jesus are to be passed by; that Religion is to wing her way sublime, above the flight of Christianity, far away, toward heaven, as the fledged eaglet leaves forever the nest which sheltered his callow youth. Let us, therefore, devote a few moments to this subject, and consider what is TRANSIENT in Christianity, and what is PERMANENT therein. ...
- Silence the voice of Christianity, and the world is well nigh dumb, for gone is that sweet music which kept in awe the rulers and the people, which cheers the poor widow in her lonely toil, and comes like light through the windows of morning, to men who sit stooping and feeble, with failing eyes and a hungering heart. ...
- But through all this, the words of Christianity have come down to us from the lips of that Hebrew youth, gentle and beautiful as the light of a star, not spent by their journey through time and through space. ...
- Looking at the Word of Jesus, at real Christianity, the pure religion he taught, nothing appears more fixed and certain. ... But, looking at the history of what men call Christianity, nothing seems more uncertain and perishable. While true religion is always the same thing, in each century and every land, in each man that feels it, the Christianity of the Pulpit, which is the religion taught; the Christianity of the People, which is the religion that is accepted and lived out; has never been the same thing in any two centuries or lands, except only in name. The difference between what is called Christianity by the Unitarians in our times, and that of some ages past, is greater than the difference between Mahomet and the messiah. The difference at this day between opposing classes of Christians; the difference between the Christianity of some sects, and that of Christ himself; is deeper and more vital than that between Jesus and Plato, Pagan as we call him. The Christianity of the seventh century has passed away. ... But how do we know that our Christianity shall not share the same fate? Is there that difference between the nineteenth century, and some seventeen that have gone before it, since Jesus, to warrant the belief that our notion of Christianity shall last forever? The stream of time has already beat down Philosophies and Theologies, Temple and Church, though never so old and revered. How do we know there is not a perishing element in what we call Christianity> Jesus tells us, HIS Word is the word of God, and so shall never pass away. ...

- It is the devil who instigates the Roman authorities to persecute; the gods and goddesses of paganism are devils, and idolatry itself is an invention of Satan; if a saint falls away from grace, it is by the seduction of the demon; if heresy arises, the devil has suggested it; and some of the Fathers6 go so far as to challenge the pagans to a sort of exorcising match, by way of testing the truth of Christianity. Mediæval Christianity is at one with patristic, on this head. ...
- 8), "To this end was the Son of God manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil," is allegorical, then the Pauline version of the Fall may be allegorical, and still more the words of consecration of the Eucharist, or the promise of the second coming; in fact, there is not a dogma of ecclesiastical Christianity the scriptural basis of which may not be whittled away by a similar process.
- To those who admit the authority of the famous Vincentian dictum that the doctrine which has been held "always, everywhere, and by all" is to be received as authoritative, the demonology must possess a higher sanction than any other Christian dogma, except, perhaps, those of the Resurrection and of the Messiahship of Jesus; 326 for it would be difficult to name any other points of doctrine on which the Nazarene does not differ from the Christian, and the different historical stages and contemporary subdivisions of Christianity from one another. ... The Gadarene story fits into the general scheme of Christianity; and the evidence for "Legion" and their doings is just as good as any other in the New Testament for the doctrine which the story illustrates.

- It appears again that, adopting the tactics of Conachar when brought face to face with Hal o' the Wynd, I have been trying to get my simple-minded adversary to follow me on a wild-goose chase through the early history of Christianity, in the hope of escaping impending defeat on the main issue. ...
- For suppose it to be established that Gentile Christianity was a totally different thing from the Nazarenism of Jesus and his immediate disciples; suppose it to be demonstrable that, as early as the sixth decade of our era at least, there were violent divergencies of opinion among the followers of Jesus; suppose it to be hardly doubtful that the Gospels and the Acts took their present shapes under the influence of those divergencies; suppose that their authors, and those through whose hands they passed, had notions of historical veracity not more eccentric than those which Josephus 352 occasionally displays: surely the chances that the Gospels are altogether trustworthy records of the teachings of Jesus become very slender. ...

- Confucianism and Christianity: United or Divided?.
- Ironically, one reason that accounts for this breach in cultural awareness comes in the form of what stands in the West largely for what Confucianism stands for in the Far East: Christianity.
- The first time that Confucianism and Christianity were to encounter one another came with the Nestorian visit to China in 635 CE. The Chinese did not perceive Christianity as an entirely new religion, believing it to be yet another strand of Buddhism. ... It was not until the end of the 16th century when Italian Jesuit Matteo Ricci and a group of missionaries came to China that Confucianism and Christianity were to meet head on. ...
- His introduction of Western technology and science to the Imperial Court gained him much respect, and it was from this venerated position that he was able to introduce his adaptation of Christianity to the Confucians. ... ” iii In his eyes, there was a fundamental agreement between Christianity and Confucianism, and he spent the rest of his life pursuing a growth of relationship between the two traditions.
- The spread of Christianity into China in recent years might well lead one to believing that Confucianism has very little to offer even to its ‘own people’ as a spiritual or ethical philosophy. ... Christianity has its own vast and rich legacy, and they do not wish to drift from its steadfast path into the religious ideals of other faiths or doctrines. Yet, “the dialogue between contemporary New Confucianism and Christianity does not mean to convert one from another, but to expand one’s horizon so as to incorporate some of the values, experiences and insights from the other,” x and it is in this that the question of relevance becomes clearer. ...
- A comparison between the Christian concept of ‘agape’ and the Confucian one of ‘jen’ will form a large percentage of the piece, and this will be followed up by a look at Neo-Confucianism, subsequent Confucian scholars, the Confucian view of the supernatural (and how this compares to Christianity), modern interpretations of Confucianism, how Confucianism impacts the world today (East and West), and a final evaluation of precisely what relevance Confucius does have to the contemporary Christian.
- For him, Christianity is a classic example of a theistic religion, whilst Confucianism is the epitome of a humanistic religion. ...
- For him, there are three distinct types: the prophetic Semitic religions of Christianity, Islam and Judaism; the mystical Indian religions of Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism; and the wisdom Chinese religions of Taoism and Confucianism. ...
- The West is accustomed to theism, since the religions of the Western tradition are for the most part Christianity and Islam. ... Thus, for this study, we will be dealing with Confucianism and Christianity as both religions and philosophies. For, just as Confucianism is a religion embedded in the philosophy of Confucius, so Christianity is a religion with a vast array of philosophic concepts of its own.

70. Against Christianity: For the Church
- capo.org
- Against Christianity: For the Church .
- The Bible never mentions Christianity. It does not preach Christianity, nor does it encourage us to preach Christianity. Paul did not preach Christianity, nor did any of the other apostles. When the Church was strong and vibrant, it did not preach Christianity either. Christianity, like Judaism and Yahwism, is an invention of biblical scholars, theologians, and politicians, and one of its effects is to keep Christians in their proper, marginal, place. ... The Bible speaks of Christians and of the church, but to preach Christianity is gnostic, and the church firmly rejected gnosticism from its earliest days. ...
- I am not giving encouragement to some kind of religionless Christianity, nor claiming that the Bible teaches a creedless religion, nor launching a Kierkegaardian attack on Christendom or a Barthian broadside against religion. ...
- The word Christianity does not appear in the Bible, so it is quite impossible for the Bible to encourage us to preach Christianity. ... Even the terminological point is not entirely irrelevant, for it means that God is able to reveal Himself and His plan without using the term Christianity. More important, however, is the fact that the Bible does not even have the concept of Christianity. ...
- This assertion, of course, begs the question of what I mean by Christianity. On the one hand, Christianity is sometimes used to refer to a set of doctrines or a system of ideas. ... By this definition, Christianity is what Christian people believe to be true about God, man, sin, Christ, the world, the future. ...
- To put it differently, the church is not a people united by common ideas, ideas which collectively might go under the title Christianity. ... But it is an error to suggest that, once we have systematized the propositional content of Scripture, the result is a religion called Christianity to which we can give our intellectual assent, and there an end. ...

- Christianity and the Mathematical Sciences - the Heliocentric Hypothesis.
- On the other hand, the close historical relations between theology and science have caused conflicts between science and Christianity that do not exist between science and other religions. ... Christianity has been a major influence on the mathematical sciences, particularly in the 17th and 18th Centuries. There is a widespread belief that Christianity and science, particularly mathematical science, were on opposing sides through this period. ... In order to understand the subtleties of the interaction between Christianity and the mathematical sciences through the 16th and 17th Centuries we need to go back to the Greek philosophers long before the rise of the Christian church. ... The two ancient Greek philosophers who exerted the most influence on Christianity were Plato and Aristotle. ... We have discussed Greek philosophers at some length in an article on Christianity and the mathematical sciences. Although their relation to the mathematical sciences is probably well understood by most readers, their relation to Christianity may be less well known. Christianity arose in a number of competing versions and it was not until near the end of the fourth century AD that the Catholic version became dominant throughout the Roman Empire. Shortly after this Augustine, born in 354, developed Christian theology after his conversion to Christianity in 386. ... If Augustine is the one most responsible for bring Plato's philosophy into Christianity, then Thomas Aquinas in the 13th Century must be considered the one who was most responsible for Aristotle's philosophy and physics becoming absorbed into Christian thinking. ... He encouraged logic, mathematics and science to be seen as contributing to Christianity rather than being opposed to it.
