RELIGION OF THE SVITU

Christianity

Christianity is one of the three religious religions (the order of Buddhism and Islam). There are three main galleries: Catholicism, Orthodoxy, Protestantism. The main sign that unites the Christian faiths of that sect is faith in Jesus Christ as a God-man, a raven of the world. Golovne dzherelo vіrovchennya - Holy Letter (Bible, especially її other part - New Testament). Christianity vanished in the 1st century A.D. in the descendant province of the Roman Empire, in Palestine, as a religion of the oppressed. In the 4th century it became the sovereign religion of the Roman Empire; in the Middle Ages, the Christian church consecrated the feudal ustriy; in the 19th century, with the development of capitalism, it turned into the support of the bourgeoisie.

The spivvіdnoshennia of forces that changed in the world after the Other Holy War, scientific progress led the Christian churches to change the course, the stink began on the path of modernizing dogmatics, cult, organization and politics.

(Radyansky encyclopedic dictionary)

The Bible is the mother of God, beastly to people, and also tell about those people who heard or did not hear their Creator. This dialogue thrived over a thousand years. The religion of the Old Testament originates from the middle of the II millennium BC. Most of the books of the Old Order were compiled from the 7th to the 3rd century BC.

On the Beginning II. According to R.Kh. before the Old Testament, the books of the New Testament were brought. Tse chotiri of the Gospel - descriptions of the earthly life of Jesus Christ, shattered by his teachings, apostles, as well as the books of the Diy Apostles and the Epistle of the Apostles. The New Testament is completed by the announcement of John the Theologian, in which it is told about the end of the world. Qiu book is often called the Apocalypse (Greek: "Announcement").

The books of the Old Testament were written in ancient Jewish language - Hebrew. The books of the New Testament were created in the dialect of the Greek language - Koine.

Over 50 people at different times took their part in writing the Bible. And with that, the Bible appeared as a single book, and not just a collection of disparate sermons. Kozhen from the authors svіdchiv about svіy dosvіd zustrichi with God, but the Christians are firmly convinced that Toi, z Kim stink zustrichalis, zavzhd bv one and the same. “God, who spoke richly and richly from ancient times to the fathers of the prophets, in the rest of the days he spoke to us at the Blue ... Jesus Christ learned and today and for the same ages”

There is one more peculiarity of Christianity as a religion in that. What else can be used only in the form of the Church. The Church is a congregation of people who believe in Christ: "... two or three are chosen in My name, there I am in the midst of them"

Prote the word "church" has a different meaning. This is the congregation of believers, united by one place of residence, one clergyman, one temple. Such spіlnіst to become parafіyu.

It is customary for the Church, especially for Orthodoxy, to call a temple, which at times is accepted as “God's Dim” - a place of mysteries, rituals, a place of prayer.

Nareshti, the Church can accept as a form of the Christian faith. For 2 thousand years in Christianity, a sprinkling of different traditions (confessions), a skin symbol of faith (a short formula that removed the main provisions of faith), its own rite and ritual took shape. So you can talk about the Orthodox Church (Byzantine tradition), the Catholic Church (Roman tradition) and the Protestant Church (Reformation tradition of the 16th century)

In addition, it is the understanding of the Earthly Church, as uniting all those who believe in Christ, and the understanding of the Heavenly Church - the ideal divine world. Є y іnshe tlumachennya: The heavenly Church is to be established by the saints and the righteous, as they have completed their earthly path; there, de Earthly Church follows the testaments of Christ, there is unity with heaven.

Christianity has long ceased to be a monolithic religion. Causes of a political character, internal super-exactness, which had accumulated since the 4th century, brought in the 11th century to a tragic split. I earlier, in different pomіsnyh churches, they established separations in liturgical services and divine understanding. Under the influence of the Roman Empire, 2 independent powers settled and 2 centers of Christianity - near Rome in Constantinople (Byzantium). Near the skin of them, the pomsni of the church began to form. The tradition that developed at Sunset led in Rome to the special role of the pope as the Roman high priest - the head of the Universal Church, the messenger of Jesus Christ. The Church on the Skhodі did not fit in.

2 Christian denominations have been established (lat. “Spovidannya”, that is directly Christianity, which may have sovereignty among religions) - Orthodoxy and Catholicism. In the 16th century, the Catholic Church recognized a split: a new denomination vinikla - Protestantism. In its circle, the Orthodox Church in Russia experienced a major split into the Old Believers and the Orthodox Church.

Today Christianity is represented by 3 denominations, which are divided into impersonal denominations, that is. leaks, and sometimes they are strongly annoyed by their perekonanny. I Orthodox, and Catholics, and most Protestants recognize the dogma (designation of the Church, may be the insane authority of the skin member) about the Holy Trinity, believe in salvation through Jesus Christ, recognize the only Holy Letter - the Bible.

The Orthodox Church consists of 15 autocephalous churches (administratively independent), 3 autonomous (mostly independent) churches, and there are about 1,200 million of them in their lavas.

The Roman Catholic Church has close to 700 million believers.

The Protestant churches, which come before the All-World's Sake of Churches, unite about 250 million people.

(“Religion of the World”, “Avanta+”)

Naipotuzhnіshu, naivplivovіshu i naychiselnіshu z usіh іsnuyuchih nіnі main vperedzhayuchi Buddhism and Islam, є christianity. The essence of religion, which falls into the ranks of the church (Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant and others), as well as impersonal sects, lying in shanuvanni and worshiping one divine essence, and otherwise seeming to be the God-man, im'ya like - Jesus Christ. Christians believe in those who are guilty of the truths of God, the Messiah, who sent messages to the Earth for the sake of saving the world and all mankind.

The religion of Christianity was born in distant Palestine in the first century AD. e. Already the first steps of his own foundation won’t be enough rich pribіchnіv. The main reason for the condemnation of Christianity, in the opinion of the clergy, was the preaching of the activity of Jesus Christ, who, being in essence his god-like man, came before us in human form, to bring people the truth, moreover, he founded us the truth cannot be forgotten by scientists. About the first coming of Christ (other Christian light only ochіkuє) written chotir sacred books, which are called the gospels. to the glorious city of Bethlehem, about those, like vin viris, like having become preaching.

The main ideas of this new religious vchennya were as follows: faith in those who are guilty, Jesus, right the Messiah, who is the son of God, that if another friend comes, the light of that resurrection will come from the dead. With his sermons, he called out to love your neighbors and help the poor. They brought yoga to the Divine adventure and those miracles, with which they accompanied their own povchannya. The impersonal ailments were healed with a word abo dotik, three times resurrected the dead, walking on water, transforming it into wine and inciting about five thousand people, less than two with ribs and five with cakes.

Vignav vignav from the Jerusalem temple of all merchants, showing them themselves that dishonorable people have no place in the saints and noble rights. Let us then bula the zrada of Iudi Iskariot, ringing in the naive blues-playing and the praised encroachment on the royal throne and the mortal virok. He died wine, being rozіp'yatim on the cross, having taken the torment for all human sins. Three days later, Jesus Christ resurrected, and then ascended to heaven. About religion, Christianity seems to be coming: there are two months, two special expanses, inaccessible to people during earthly life. that paradise. Inferno is the place of terrible torment, which is found here at the tops of the earth, and paradise is the place of universal bliss, and God himself is the only virishuvateme, whom he directs where.

The religion of Christianity is based on a number of dogmas. First - tse those that the Friend is a trinity (Father, Sin that Holy Spirit). The people of Jesus were inspired by the Holy Spirit, God entered into the Virgin Mary. Jesus buv rose, and then he died, redeeming people's sins, after which he resurrected. For example, Christ will come to judge the light and rise from the dead. The divine nature of that human nature is indistinctly borne in the image of Jesus Christ.

Songs of the canons and commandments sing us the religion of the world, and Christianity propagates to love God with all your heart, and also to love your neighbor as yourself. If you do not love your neighbor, you cannot love God.

Religion Christianity has its own adherents in the country of the skin, half of all Christians are in Europe, including Russia, one quarter is in Pivnichniy America, one third is in Pivdenniy, and significantly less believers in Africa , Australia and

Christianity is one of the worldly religions, which is changed for the number of followers in the first ministry. Vono originated in the 1st century AD. from Palestine, conquered until this hour by the Roman Empire. At the heart of the religion lies the specialty of the founder - Jesus of Nazareth. I for the greater Christians themselves Vin, and then we will do everything else - Yogo vchennya, religious doctrines, celebrate just the most. The very specialness of Christ, faith in the New, in the thought of rich Christians, unites people who belong to different Christian currents, denominations, denominations, sects in those that we call Christianity.

For a long time, Christianity was not the only one in the religious and organizational attitudes. In the process of historical development, geographic and cultural officials, theological, political and other denominations have added those who in Christianity can easily see three main pillars (confessions): orthodoxy, Catholicismі Protestantism. Krіm them іsnuyut іnshі less nіshі nіshіnі nіrіkіlі - monophysitismі Nestorianism. Іsnuyut so and so khristianskie denominations, yakі it is important to know from the main directions. At one's own side, at the skin one, for a long time, new denominations, groups and sects were seen.

Figures of statistics show that Christianity is the largest religion for the number of followers of the world. In this hour, according to the data of the famous English fahivts and confessional statistics of D. B. Barrett, there are 1955 million Christians in the world, which is about 34% of the total population of our planet (Muslims are about 18%, Hindus 13.5% , Buddhist %). In this rank, the skin of the third bag of the Earth is a Christian. In this plan, Christianity may be vdvіchі I turn over to a friend for the numerical religion of the world - Islam.

Most of the Christians do not live above Europe, as it was before the 19th century, but America. The number of Christians in this part of the world in 1996 amounted to 711 million people. Tse 36% of the entire Christian population of the Earth. In Europe, including the Asian part of Russia, there are 556 million Christians or 28% of their foreign populations, in Africa - 361 million (18%), in Asia - 303 million (16%), in Australia and Oceania - 24 million (1 %).

The largest confession in the Christian world is the Roman Catholic Church (Catholicism). In 1996 there were 981 million Catholics, which is close to 17% of the planet's population and 50% of all Christians. Most of the followers of the confessions live in the lands of Latin America (90% of the Meshkans in the part of the world). In Europe, Catholics make up 37% of the foreign population. On another mist - Protestants. The number should be over 600 million (without the so-called marginal Protestants, which are over 100 million). Protestantism is on the rise 12% of the total population of the Earth and 36% of all Christians. І in the third month they change Orthodox Christians - 182 million. Most of the Orthodox are alive in our country (70-80 million).

How are Christians now placed one to one and to other religions? The official position of the Christian directives at whom food is different. The Roman-Catholic Church, having seen its bitter re-examinations of thinkers before, has changed a lot. Vaughn officially denounced similar acts, but attributed them not to the church in vain, but to the most zealous representatives. After the Other Vatican Council (1962 - 1965), the Roman Catholic Church recognized the right of the people to Oman, as Augustine's hours (354 - 430 pp.) quarreled. Now they officially call Orthodoxy a sister church, and Protestants - brothers who were re-created. In non-Christian religions, Catholicism recognizes the presence of another good cob and declares its own importance to them. It is noteworthy that, within the framework of the celebration of the 2000s of the birth of Jesus Christ, Pope Ivan Paul II called for the holy religion to be chosen for the holy church service.

It is important for Orthodoxy to show unity, which is demonstrated by the Roman Church. Even more infuriating in the new long-standing trend is not to call non-Orthodox, but also, heretical, in their opinion, Christian denominations. Adherents to this approach are respected that people who do not listen to the Orthodox Church can hear the words of Christ: “But if you do not listen to the church, then you will be guilty, like a pagan and a mitar” (Matt. 18: 17).

Protestants, who are not united in the dogmatic, not in the organizational aspect, before other Christian currents are placed in a different way: in the total list of all those who do not follow their form of religion, until the re-adoption, in sikh, who calls himself a Christian. Traditionally, Protestantism is characterized by a sharply negative attitude to Catholicism, as in the hours of the Reformation it is distinguished from the Antichrist. The protesters part of the Protestants came out in front of these positions and there were signs of convergence. The great majority of Protestants, with the invisible rice of biblical Christianity, respect the honor to the freedom of conscience and the status of their religious values, influence the non-violent struggle for their reconciliation.

FOUNDATIONS OF CHRISTIAN DEVELOPMENT THAT LIGHT

Christian straight lines, currents, denominations of the ninth already quarrel with each other. To give a complete description of the Christian faith, cult, church organization is important. However, regardless of the three-year period, the mind of the wind is one kind of one, rozkoly, unreasonable, and at times I am a witch, among Christianity, insanely, є those who indulge in yoga in other religions and in the same time consider more of yoga representatives.

In order to better understand why in Christianity they were founded, what are the ideological reasons for the stink of viklikany, we are guilty, krіm іnshoy, z'yasuvati, like dzherela vіri, stars are scooped up and introduced the main doctrines.

JEREL OF CHRISTIANITY
Christianity to lie down to tz. secret religion. Tse means that the core of true knowledge in Christianity is not a person, not his vitality, but God. Vidpovidno to tsієї stances, the very beginning of the fact that God, for his mercy, enlightens the mind of a person, exclaims that people know about New and Yogo will. All ways, zavdyaki yakim, are good for Christian faiths, God gives knowledge to people we cannot sanctify, because God, following the words of the author of the Epistle to Hebrews, speaks in a different way (Heb. 1:1). Ale, it is necessary to name a smut. In Christianity, as a rule, there are two main dzherel dzherel okrovennya: zagalnoy one especially.

The first kind of bloodline is called “ blatant secrets”, to that it is more accessible to all and animals, the head rank, to the mind of a person. It is important that you guard for nature, history, and mutual understanding between people, you can take an intuitive understanding of God and that Yogo character. Ap. Pavlo pointed out that the skin can know about God: “For the invisible Yogo, the power of Yogo is eternal, that Godhead, in the creation of the world through the sight of the visible creatures, so that the stench is inseparable” (Rom. 1:20). The psalmist wrote about it like this: “The heavens preach the glory of God, and the firmament speaks about the right hands of Yogo. The day conveys language, and the nights reveal knowledge” (Ps. 18:2,3).

Otzhe, looking at the greatness, order and beauty of the All-World, a person can be rich in what to understand God. Turning back to themselves, people can come to the conclusion that God is also special. Ale zagalne podkrovennya not є єdinim that povnim.

Another kind of secret is called “ special” at the link with this, which is given by God, to us in front of us through especially the people, through the prophets. The pinnacle of the special revelation of God is Jesus Christ.

As the prominent Catholic church father Thomas Akvinsky said, we can know that we can know that God knows, prote about those who are Win - Triytsya, we can only know the secret of blood to a special one. The need for a different way of expressing the religious knowledge of the viklikan tim, scho is more intimate, from the Christian point of view, may be obezhennya. Crying in the beauty of nature, crying out like a wisely wielded human being, there is no less, you can’t put together the correct statement about the Creator, who, in a first way, is the rozum of encirclements, and, in another way, the order of goodness in the world is richly evil and stupid. Behind the Christian picture of the world, the whole nature of a person is twisted by sin, which has dulled the building of the mind of God. To this the Lord, with His love, sent a special revelation about Himself. Through the new Vin, she contributes to Rozumov’s moral, that spiritual obmezhenіst people, letting know about her unmistakable bazhannya vryatuvat people.

Christians in a different way understand the meaning of a special secret. Ale all stinks, for the wine of marginal quasi-Christian groups, they know how to Bible, what is for them the Scriptures, the Word of God.

In the order of the Orthodox Bible and Catholics, they are more important for the hour, they respect the secrets of the blood Sacred Transmission- transmissions from generation to generation of the spiritual dosvіd of the Church, which includes the decrees of the Ecumenical and Memorial Councils, the work of the Church Fathers, liturgical practice, pious calls that other. Zmist Retellings in Catholicism and Orthodoxy are considered one kind of one. In Orthodoxy, the Holy Letter is respected as a part of the Sacred Transmission, and to that “The writing is not heavy over the Church, but only in the Church and only a few in її overhead, you can be truly enlightened, at її uninterrupted spiritual enlightenment, at the Holy Transmission” ( Arch. Alipii, Arch. Isaiah. Dogmatic theology. St. Trinity Lavra, 1997. Z 37).

Protestants, as the only one, cherished a special confession to recognize the Holy Letter. Von vvazhayut that the Bible is like the Word of God є miril be-such vchennya i dosvіdu, and to that everything that supersedes the Holy Letter, є hibnim. In the opinion of the Protestants, a person, endowed with the Holy Spirit, can correctly understand the will of God, which is written in the Word of God. Try to undermine the priority, or the Church’s equivalence, that Transmission over the Scriptures, from the look of the Protestants, equally pragmatic, replace the authority of God with your own authority. In a number of Protestant streams, the transmission is taken to the point of respect, but not as a secret, but as a helper, which allows you to clarify important things from the Holy Letter.

It is different from the understanding of that, through which God reveals the secret, it gives rise in Christianity to the diversity of rites and life strategies. Partly stinks add up, improve one by one, being rіznomanіttyam at unity, sometimes they supersede. Reports on the specifics of the main Christian directions, denominations can be found at the leading divisions.
Bible

CHRISTIAN VIEW ABOUT GOD
Most Christian denominations believe in single God, which is the essence of the unity of three special features - God the Father, God Sin, God the Holy Spirit. The vchennya about the Trinity is specific to Christian vchennya, as it is common to all other religions. There is a specificity in the fact that in the divine equal butt, the trinity and loneliness appear in the sensi the same. These ideas have known their influence in various religious and mythological systems. The difference between the Christian Trinity and the pagan triads of theologians and modern successors to sing, the Crimean other, at the vіdmіnnosti between the mutual transition of the elements and the vzaimovіdbityam specialities, between the twins and the dialogue ohm. The appearance of the Trinity is the masks of a single Deity. The stench thinks of a single day, and іsnuyut sоrіvno і sovіchno Each Other. Father, Sin and the Holy Spirit, however, Divine and at the same time different Individuals. The stench of penetration Friend for Friend zavdyaki Your own self-sufficiency and, at once z tsim, mum self-sustaining zavodya of new penetration Friend for Friend, to that mutually between them є sobistіsnі vіdnosiny lyubі.

The idea of ​​the Trinity was formed in the first century of the founding of Christianity. The very word in the Bible is not construed. Therefore, part of the Protestants, speaking about God, swear by yoga uniqueness. Irrespective of the meaning of the “Trinity” in the lexicon of the Bible, in it one speaks about the unity of God, and about the divinity of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Therefore, the majority of Christian denominations take the vchennya about the Trinity, fixed in the resolutions of the Nikeo-Constantinopolitan symbol of faith (IV century). The development of this dogma was of great importance to the Christians of the similar, Greek church. This report can be read from a part of the assistant, consecrated to Orthodoxy. About the specifics of the rise of the Trinity in other denominations, the zokrem in Catholicism, it can be found in the different divisions.

The Christian God is absolutely perfect Spirit, Rosum (Logos). Ale Vin is not a special spirit, but specialty. God is not just a force, an energy, a Law of Light, but a will, a power. Christians believe that God honors them with special attitudes, think about the share of the skin created by him and pray that others also intervened with Him at intercourse. To that, from the point of view of the dawn, the nobility of God does not mean a simple recognition of Yogo's foundation, the yasuvannya of Yogo's objective powers. Tse means that it is necessary to know God in such a way that we know the way for us people. Jesus Christ, having taught his followers to turn to God, like to his beloved father. Vіdnosini z Nim are characterized by the warmth of the minds.

God inexhaustible. Tse means that Yogo cannot be surrounded, with New, in principle, you cannot be between. To that, in a strict sense of the word, all positive designations of God, all Yogo's characteristics, as if at once pererahovuєmo, shvidshe, show our bordering with the human mind the understanding of God, and not Yogo itself. Giving God's appointment, a person is less fixed, than God is anything. God Himself needs to be above all those that we can think about New and reveal. The prophet Isaiah conveys the idea of ​​God's greatness in this way: “My thoughts are not your thoughts, but your ways are My ways,” the Lord says. - And just as the sky is stronger for the earth, so are My ways for your ways, and My thoughts are for your thoughts” (Isa. 55:8).

The inconsistency of God means that Vin cannot lie in the hour. God eternal. Vіn іsnuє spochatku i maє buttya in Sobi Himself. At the book of Vihіd God to speak to Moses from the bush that burns: “I am who I am” (Veh. 3:14). Mustache butya suddenly shodo God, tk. the same Vіn є Creator, The cob of everything visible and invisible. Without it, it is impossible to sleep, because only Vin can give buttya. There is no other strength, which is dear to God, how we can resist Yomu. “I am the first and I am the last, and there is no God for me. For who am I? - the prophet Isaiah conveys the words of the Lord (Isa. 44:6). Nothing in the world is not posed by Yogo's will. Navit opponents of God, zokrema. The devil, they can work against the New One only to the one that God allows them to be timid, crushing life in them. The Diyah of the Holy Apostles says that God gives “to all life, and breath, and everything”, “for by him we live and we fall down” (Dij 17:25, 28). Tsya furnishing helps to put together a song about the worldlessness omnipotence God, in the eyes of Christians.

The incompetence of God is such that Yogo cannot contain the whole world. Yak the Creator Vіn vіdmіnniy vіd svogo tvorіnnya i not є yogo part. God knows more. Vіn nayvischiy i vіdmіnniy vіd vіd ugogo, scho we can work, show chi to think. It seems otherwise, God transcendent. Ale doesn't mean that Vin doesn't have a yearly relationship to us, that of our world. At the same time, with the otherness of the world, God is present in the new, adzhe Vin ubiquitous. Wine is with the world, without being a part of it. The transcendence of God will again be satisfied with Yogo immanence. In the Messenger to Hebrew Ap. Pavlo write that the Son of God “trim everything with the word of His power” (Heb. 1:3). As you can see, God turns everything around, but at one time Vіn is present to everyone and supports everything.

God omniscient. Youmu can see absolutely everything. Vin is alpha and omega. To Yomu the cob and the corn (Announcement 22:13). The Book of Servants says that the eyes of the Lord are on the skin and work both evil and good (Pr. 15:3). The author of the 138th Psalm marvels at the creation of God, but be creaking; In the Gospel of Jesus, it seems that without the will of the Old Man, a good bird cannot fall to the ground and wind hair on the head of the learned mustache (Mt. 10: 29, 30). Omnipotence, omniscience of God, Yogo turbot about creation, about vagueness called out zdivuvannya not only from religious authors. W. Shakespeare, conveying the Christian message about the providences of God, writing: "Nothing happens without God's will and in death there is a sense." Such a faith gives rise to Christians with a sense of power, giving security and giving special foundations with a zmist, which helps to make life difficult.

A thought about those who are skin deep is infinitely expensive to the Creator, who speaks about the skin, showing kindness God. Kindness, which is found in the world, creates Yogo kindness with its coil. It is impossible for him to think that she was overturning God. On thought app. Jacob everything is the best, that in this world, to resemble the Lord. “Every good gift and every gift of thoroughness will burn down, in the light of the Father of light ...” - write wine (Yak. 1:17).

God's goodness is manifested in Yogo's holiness and love. The Bible has a God of names holy. The prophet Isaiah, in one of the parts of his prophecy, in which he celebrated the glory of the Lord, writing that the seraphim, that they were bіla Yogo to the throne, vigukuvali: “Holy, holy, holy Lord of Hosts! The whole earth is dedicated to the glory of Yogo” (Isa. 6:3). Deyakі theologians take into account that the three times repetition of the word “holy” points to the three Persons of God. It didn’t happen like there, repeated repetition at any time means a stronger sensation. Holiness means that the God of resurrection is evil, incomplete, impure in moral terms. Tsya akіst is taman only to Yomu and to no one else. In the Bible, all three Persons of the Trinity are called saints - the Father (Jn. 17:11), Sin (Dyan. 4:30) and the Holy Spirit, in the very name of Yakogo the rice of holiness is shown. The words of the Lord: “Be holy, for I am holy” (Lev. 11:45; 1 Pet. 1:16) show that holiness is on this side of Yogo's character, which people can take and find comfort in their lives. God bazhaє, so that people become saints, so that they will be allowed to live in Yogo kingdom.

For a holy God, it is not natural to take on Himself human beings, as if Christ had grown. The Bible says that God pishov for such a short time for the peace of the sinful world. Itself in the people of the Sin of God, Yogo life and hellish death of the love of God, the greatest world appeared to people. Father, the most important quality of the Christian God is love. The Apostle Ivan wrote: "God is love" (1 John 4:8, 16). In the Bible, love us before God, not man. “He has love, who did not love God with us, but with love for us, and sent His Sin to be a propitiation for our sins” (1 John 4:10). Tse bezkorislive kokhannya, like a gift, not conquest. Її directing to the subject to deposit in the form of its value.

In the Holy Letter, the ancient Hebrew word “chesed” (loving kindness) and the ancient Greek “agapi” expressed the principle of setting God up to people, as well as those who saw people as one by one. Agapі- love-mercy, as if representing a sympathetic, good-natured, dbaylive setting up to another person. Agape - tse diyalna love, scho gift, love to the neighbor. This word in the New Testament characterizes God's vision before his creation, before man (Jv. 3:16; 1 John 4; 1 Cor. 13; Eph. 2:4-7; that John). God does not love what you need. Navpaki, Vіn love vіd povnoti. To create a creative world was not a viklikana as a necessity. The Lord, having created uncommon things, to love them thoroughly. And for them, God became a human being, pishov for self-abasement, suffering. One of the theologians said that Yakbi Christ could vryatuvat more than one sinner, then through love to the whole people of Vin, having accepted the bi flour of the cross.

How can God's love and justice be immeasurable? Chi do not superechat qi as a single one? In the Christian obyvatsky middle, one can see two false statements about God. It is with one of them that God is a wicked judge, who will follow him, so that people do not sin and punish them, the scum of life is not so acceptable. Forgiveness for others, God is a kind soul, “God”, who graciously forgives people for their sins, but does not forgive all their weaknesses and whims. And those who have not yet been revealed about God are not apprehended by the biblical point of dawn and extremism. God is not a cruel despot and not an all-forgiving "god".

On the thought of rich Christian denominations, the wrath of God is the other side of Yogo love. Right in the fact that God hates all those who are in charge of suffering, apply the beauty and harmony of the world created by Him. In this order, the justice of God and Yogo love does not supersede one to one, but a dialectical expression of Yogo's character. It is important to remember that from a Christian point of view, the justice of God is not so punishing, how dear, merciful justice.

Giving sinners the opportunity to turn around, the Son of God on Golgotha, having taken suffering, was recognized as violators of Yogo Law on himself. God of Christians Savior. Vіn does not fear the death of the sinner, but if you want, you must turn back to New and take away the gift of life forever.

Henceforth, it is far from beyond the knowledge of the statements about God among Christianity that shows us that Vin is one. God is Person, Trinity. Vin - Spirit, Rosum, Love. God is boundless, eternal, omnipotent, transcendent and immanent, omniscient, good, holy and just. God can be buttya in Himself, the Creator, Lawgiver and Savior of the world.

SVIT I LYUDINA
As it is said above, Christians believe that God is good, We love good and hate evil, We have established the rules of that law, We know that we were treated for the good of God this way, and not otherwise. From the standpoint of Christianity, the All-Sveet deyaks speak and speak the right filth, and even the lack of perfection cannot explain the need for harmony of the whole. It sounds like a good God and a vile world are not the same.

Light in Christianity is the continuation of the Divine, a product of Yogo evolution chi emanation. For this sense between the world and God, there is an intransigent prirva. The stench is absolutely alien. Let's guess that in Christianity God is the first and the remaining cause of all that exists. And as such Vіn is also the reason for Himself. On the vіdmіnu vіd vіd osgogo іnshoy, God іsnuіє through the need ієї єї vlaї nasnostі. The reason for the need of the world is not dictated. God creates the world freely, granting everything as a free gift. It's like before, like an artist creating his own tvir. And as a twir, you take your soul, thoughts, experiences of the creator, and light you carry the seal of the beauty, goodness and greatness of God. However, part of the creation burned out of the way, recognized by the Creator and wasted its perfection.

Why is God allowing his creation to succumb in the sight of New? How can the goodness of God and Yogo's omnipotence benefit from the foundations of evil in the world? Try a rational explanation of the opposition between the omnipotence and the absolute goodness of God, and the manifestation of evil in the world gave rise to the Christian philosophical and religious thought of numerical theodicy, tobto. divine truth. The most orthodox of them affirm that evil is not the essence of the created material world. It was born out of a wrong choice of different sources. Evil is rooted in free will And if it’s not possible for a person to turn around for help fighting with her, until God can secure it, I will win.

That is why the task of the people is to turn to God, to inspire Yogo to help his zanepal nature, that nature of the world. Tsієї meti and serve are established by God the main values ​​and vimogi. They set guidelines, for which particularity can self-sign, direct your will in the right direction. Their significance, importance is not the same. Light, creations by God, maє raznu the world of value. The hierarchy of blessings is led by God Himself. And if it is reasonable to take the place of the good of the greater good less, then it will go out into the sight of God. In such a rank, all values ​​bring a person to God, and lower, on the other hand, turn them up. Otherwise: for the help of greater values, people deny the possibility of transcendence, to go beyond the boundaries of their coopedness, and turning to the lower ones, they get bored with everyday life, vanity, calling themselves on the spiritual animality at the streams of the flesh.

The Christian conception of a special God confuses the inevitable value, the substantiality and the uniqueness of the specialness, created for Yogo in the image and likeness. To this, the proximity to the Absolute is conveyed by the animality to the other people, in the yakіy Vіn of phenomena the most visible rank. Love before God is manifested through those who put us before the Yogo creation, first for everything, to our neighbors. Therefore, in the majority of Christian denominations, as a rule, they downplay the importance of being bored in an ecstatic state, experiencing a mystical fortune, flowing into the world with problems and shortcomings. Even though the light is not a weakened part of the Godhead, but the creations of Him, we can see the value, self-sufficiency and substantiality. Otzhe about the new one, about himself, his family, his power, suspіlstvo toshchoo. nebhіdno dbati. But this turbota is not guilty of ruining all our respect at any given time. Її meta polygaє at the vіddaі to yourself the greatest values ​​- to God and people.

Vіdnosini between God and man in Christianity may have a special character. Aware of believing the character of God, the one who is inexcusably dear Creator, fill his soul with Love. Vaughn, in the opinion of the Christians, is guilty of mіtsnіti in the world of that, like a person in the process of life, to finally learn to trust God, to change into Yogo fidelity. Love gives people courage and the strength to overcome the will of the Creator, expressed in the Yogo Law, and the Creator and creation become one friendly family.

Jesus Christ, YOGO LIFE, DEATH AND WEEK
The specificity of Christianity, which is the most important view of other religions, is in the specialty of Jesus Christ. The greater number of Christians shange the person of the Divine Trinity as a friend, who was instilled by the God of the Word, into whom that Divine human nature was infused.

Napoleon having shown that, having fought all his life to win the hearts of people, and Christ, having fought without a fight, and millions of his followers die for him. The contemporary Christian theologian Hans Küng spoke thus about Jesus Christ and about that religion, how to wear his name: Nobody died so young. Prote, with a kind of majestic buv yogo infusion ... For a small number of adherents, Christianity far outperforms all religious religions. Henceforth, Jesus Christ should have a special role, both in Christianity and in the history of the world.

As has already been said above, it is of great importance for Christianity to introduce a not so human mind, a poshkogennoy grahopadinny, as the secret of God. Apparently, before the Bible, people tse gunpowder and drank, clay, like it was chewed by God's breath. In this rank, I will lie down again in the sight of God, the only gift of life from the All-Sveta. However, the first man Adam, having violated God's Law of love, resurrected himself in Life. In order to turn the people's spent camp, God punished for the wickedness of the wickedness transferred to Himself. The Son of God (Other Person of the Trinity, God the Word) has become a human being at the singing hour.

One of the worst calms for New Bulo, maybe, humility. Ale there, where the first Adam fell, the other Adam wins: God Sin, having strangled the carnal "I" pragnennya, does not care about others, live for himself. Jesus, perebuvayuchi in a sinful body, I will again follow the will of the Father, having put aside the death of the human race in the punishment. In His life and death, Christ revealed the character of God's love. Yogo Resurrection marks the triumph of God over the forces of evil and the residual victory over them.

Following Christ, people are spitting their sins by the power of God, and they themselves are crying out in the power of lawless death. God gives people self-confidence, building up to creativity, true knowledge about spiritual light, building love. In such a rank, the people of Christ become a special person, a God of grace.

The formation of Christianity as a religious religion

Dopovіd

RELIGION OF THE SVITU

Christianity

16.04.04 Garnik Victor 8 "D"

Christianity is one of the three religious religions (the order of Buddhism and Islam). There are three main galleries: Catholicism, Orthodoxy, Protestantism. The main sign that unites the Christian faiths of that sect is faith in Jesus Christ as a God-man, a raven of the world. Golovne dzherelo vіrovchennya - Holy Letter (Bible, especially її other part - New Testament). Christianity vanished in the 1st century A.D. in the descendant province of the Roman Empire, in Palestine, as a religion of the oppressed. In the 4th century it became the sovereign religion of the Roman Empire; in the Middle Ages, the Christian church consecrated the feudal ustriy; in the 19th century, with the development of capitalism, it turned into the support of the bourgeoisie.

The spivvіdnoshennia of forces that changed in the world after the Other Holy War, scientific progress led the Christian churches to change the course, the stink began on the path of modernizing dogmatics, cult, organization and politics.

(Radyansky encyclopedic dictionary)

The Bible is the mother of God, beastly to people, and also tell about those people who heard or did not hear their Creator. This dialogue thrived over a thousand years. The religion of the Old Testament originates from the middle of the II millennium BC. Most of the books of the Old Order were compiled from the 7th to the 3rd century BC.

On the Beginning II. According to R.Kh. before the Old Testament, the books of the New Testament were brought. Tse chotiri of the Gospel - descriptions of the earthly life of Jesus Christ, shattered by his teachings, apostles, as well as the books of the Diy Apostles and the Epistle of the Apostles. The New Testament is completed by the announcement of John the Theologian, in which it is told about the end of the world. Qiu book is often called the Apocalypse. Greek"Announcement" ).

The books of the Old Testament were written in ancient Jewish language. Hebrew. The books of the New Testament were created in the dialect of the Greek language koine.

Over 50 people at different times took their part in writing the Bible. And with that, the Bible appeared as a single book, and not just a collection of disparate sermons. Kozhen from the authors svіdchiv about svіy dosvіd zustrichi with God, but the Christians are firmly convinced that Toi, z Kim stink zustrichalis, zavzhd bv one and the same. “God, who spoke richly and richly from ancient times to the fathers of the prophets, in the rest of the days he spoke to us at the Blue ... Jesus Christ learned and today and for the same ages”

There is one more peculiarity of Christianity as a religion in that. What else can be used only in the form of the Church. The Church is a congregation of people who believe in Christ: "... two or three are chosen in My name, there I am in the midst of them"

Prote the word "church" has a different meaning. This is the congregation of believers, united by one place of residence, one clergyman, one temple. Such spіlnіst to become parafіyu.

It is customary for the Church, especially for Orthodoxy, to call a temple, which at times is accepted as “God's Dim” - a place of mysteries, rituals, a place of prayer.

Nareshti, the Church can accept as a form of the Christian faith. For 2 thousand years in Christianity, a sprinkling of different traditions (confessions), a skin symbol of faith (a short formula that removed the main provisions of faith), its own rite and ritual took shape. So you can talk about the Orthodox Church (Byzantine tradition), the Catholic Church (Roman tradition) and the Protestant Church (Reformation tradition of the 16th century)

In addition, it is the understanding of the Earthly Church, as uniting all those who believe in Christ, and the understanding of the Heavenly Church - the ideal divine world. Є y іnshe tlumachennya: The heavenly Church is to be established by the saints and the righteous, as they have completed their earthly path; there, de Earthly Church follows the testaments of Christ, there is unity with heaven.

Christianity has long ceased to be a monolithic religion. Causes of a political character, internal super-exactness, which had accumulated since the 4th century, brought in the 11th century to a tragic split. I earlier, in different pomіsnyh churches, they established separations in liturgical services and divine understanding. Under the influence of the Roman Empire, 2 independent powers settled and 2 centers of Christianity - near Rome in Constantinople (Byzantium). Near the skin of them, the pomsni of the church began to form. The tradition that developed at Sunset led in Rome to the special role of the pope as the Roman high priest - the head of the Universal Church, the messenger of Jesus Christ. The Church on the Skhodі did not fit in.

2 Christian denominations were settled ( lat."reminder", tobto. directly Christianity, scho mayut vіdminnostі vіrospovidannі) - Orthodoxy and Catholicism. In the 16th century, the Catholic Church recognized a split: a new denomination vinikla - Protestantism. In its circle, the Orthodox Church in Russia experienced a major split into the Old Believers and the Orthodox Church.

Today Christianity is represented by 3 denominations, which are divided into impersonal denominations, that is. leaks, and sometimes they are strongly annoyed by their perekonanny. I Orthodox, and Catholics, and most Protestants recognize the dogma (designation of the Church, may be the insane authority of the skin member) about the Holy Trinity, believe in salvation through Jesus Christ, recognize the only Holy Letter - the Bible.

The Orthodox Church is made up of 15 autocephalous churches(administratively independent), 3 autonomous (mostly independent) and there are about 1200 million copies in their lavas.

The Roman Catholic Church has close to 700 million believers.

The Protestant churches, which come before the All-World's Sake of Churches, unite about 250 million people.
