Salvation in Christianity comes through grace, the Spirit, and following God's law - but never through sin itself. When Jesus ascended to heaven, Christians believe he rose up on a cloud whilst his disciples watched, marking his return to divine glory.
The Trinity - God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - profoundly influences modern Christians. It strengthens their faith by revealing God's loving, father-like nature and his omnipotence shown through creating the universe. This gives believers comfort knowing their God is both mighty and caring.
However, the Trinity can also create confusion for some Christians today. Modern scientific knowledge makes it harder to accept that God exists as three separate entities within one being. This scientific understanding might contradict what seems physically possible, causing some believers to question their faith.
Remember The Trinity shows God's complex nature - he's simultaneously loving (Father), sacrificial (Son), and guiding (Holy Spirit).
Christians hold two main beliefs about what causes sin in our lives. The first traces back to Original Sin - Adam and Eve's disobedience in the Garden of Eden.
According to Genesis, God created Adam and Eve to live in paradise, with one rule don't eat from the forbidden tree. When the serpent tempted Eve, both she and Adam chose to disobey God. Their punishment included death, hard labour, and painful childbirth. Christians believe we inherit this sinful nature as their descendants.
The second belief focuses on personal responsibility. Since Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection was meant to cancel out our ancestors' sins, our current sins must come from our own choices. This means having bad thoughts, saying hurtful things, and breaking the Ten Commandments.
Key Point Christians debate whether we sin because of what Adam and Eve did, or because of our own bad choices today.
This question challenges Christianity's core beliefs about God's nature. If God is omnipotent as shown in Genesis when he "created the heavens and the earth," why doesn't he stop suffering?
Some argue God cannot be loving because innocent people suffer unnecessarily. Children starving in poverty haven't committed sins, yet they endure pain. Philosopher Epicurus suggested that if God can stop suffering but doesn't, "he is wicked."
Others defend God's love despite suffering. They argue God is transcendent (beyond human understanding), so we can't comprehend his reasons. The suffering might serve purposes we don't grasp yet.
Many Christians believe suffering results from Original Sin - we deserve consequences for humanity's wrongdoing. They see this as "tough love" where God disciplines us for our greater good. Some view suffering as a test of faith, determining who truly follows God through hardships.
Think About It This debate between God's love and the existence of suffering remains one of Christianity's biggest philosophical challenges.
