This is for a project. What are some reasons why people are attracted to Christianity especially.?

Question

I REALLY NEED SERIOUS ANSWERS!!!!!! So all of yall who like to put fake or offensive answers down cause u think itz funny.....please DONT DO IT!!!! thanx

Answer 1

It lines up with what the Bible says. If you are going to believe the Bible (and I'm not going to argue that) then you need to believe it all. You can't pick and choose. "I want to believe this part but not that part" It doesn't work that way. Other religions do that. Everyone of them, but not Christianity. And if you read and study, there are answers to the 'apparent contradicitons'. But to know the Bible you need to know the Author and have a relationship with Him.

Answer 2

Many people are attracted to the ethics of others faiths, this is so very common in the modern world. Christianity is a very attracted form of faith and spirituality as it is spendidly and finely packaged. For an example, Christianity is the only world religion, so far as I know, that is able to be encaptulated within a small four page pamphlet that even has space for illustrations. One is aware that this may come across as a mocking comment but may I add that this is very much part of the genius of the Christian faith and this trend was started by the earliest evangelists including Saul of Tarsus.
As a theologian I have always been drawn to the Christian faith as it is a very precise philosophical mode of 'talking G-d.' Unlike Judaism, Chistianity is formulated through two millenia of Greek philosophical reason, a method of reasoning that is native to most westerners. However, one must ask whether religion must be neatly formulated in order to be true and, indeed, attractive. Where the Church places great weight upon the idea of a personal relationship with the divine and thus leading to social absentist much as hermitism and monasticism, Judaism stresses the presence of HaShem not with the individual but in and through the community. It is for this reason that liturgical prayers cannot be celebrated in the synagogue unless there are ten adult (often male) members present. Judaism is a community of at least three persons; you, I and the unseen Other. When I draw closer to you the unseen Other is close. Yet when I seek G-d, the unseen Other is distant.

Shalom.

Answer 3

If you already believe in Christianity (I don't) then the question doesn't make sense. You believe in Christianity because you think it's the truth, or have decided to "have faith" which means dismissing all of your doubts.

On the other hand, the more objective question is why would people choose to be believers in the first place (i.e. converts). I think a lot of it has to do with our childhoods. When we first start getting a glimmer of consciousness, we have these huge, powerful people (i.e. parents) who give us food, comfort, love etc. They are our gods. As people grow older and discover that their parents are mortal, falable, and sometimes not so powerful (I was going to use the word impotent, but it would have been misunderstood ;)), we long for that. We want to know that someone powerful will make sure that everything turns out OK, so long as we are good ... (hear any echos of your childhood there?)

The biblical god, enhanced by the story of Jesus, provides us all with these things. We get to feel that everything will be OK so long as we follow some rules. It's about as natural an emotional need as you could imagine. But, darn it (:)), it's just not true.

Answer 4

I do not know why but I do know that christianity is currently the largest religion in the world with 33% of the worlds population following it. Though, that number has been the same for years. Islam however will probably become the most popular religion in a few hundred years because the religion is under a rapid growth (at the moment it is the second most followed religion with 21% of the worlds population).

Answer 5

I think its because back in the day this is what everyone was led to believe - what i mean by that is - and ill use one race as an example cuz theres every country here now - i think it was instilled on black people because when they were brought over here as slaves throughout the generations and being separated from ancestors and parents they lost their religion, and went to believe in Christ as we in America are mainly taught and usually see. probally being the more dominant religion from pilgrim days it has been instilled upon everyone - most people in China arent Christians, same as Israel,Japan, Africa

and no i dont have a specific religion i do what i feel in my heart-

Answer 6

This will come across as smug, but Christians are only attracted to Christianity when God opens their eyes to His truth. He will do what He does for one thing only...His Glory. It sounds egotistical, but it is one of the good things about being God. He is the creator of all things and knows what will bring Him glory. Don't know of another way to answer this.

If you are looking for some insight on your own, please check out the book of John and Romans. They are a great resource. If you are completely unfamiliar with the Bible, I would do it in that order, but otherwise, both are VERY helpful in finding the answers you are asking. Hope this helps.

Answer 7

In Catholic Christianity intercourse has a twofold nature. it is procreative and unite. the character of it comes from a normal seem on the effect of un-hindered intercourse. there's a bond formed and shared between the two persons in touch and the possibility that a sprint one ought to be formed. it is got here across interior the 1968 encyclical of Pope Paul VI observed as Humane Vitae.

Answer 8

I think its one of the safest religions and many other religions are similar. Whether your catholic or methodist, they are both christians and use the same bible. So although a religion is called something else, we all worship a higher being and christianity is just a common name. There are Catholic Christians, Methodist Christians, Pentecostal Christians... Hope this helps!

Answer 9

I'll tell the real reason I initially became a Christian. I thought hell was real and I didn't want to go there. That's the honest-to-Goddess truth. Eventually I smartened up and found a religion that I'm comfortable with.

Answer 10

All of mans wisdoms tell you how to be the the perfect guy.
Except the words of Jesus Christ. You can't read them and not
LOVE the guy!
Salvation doesn't come from becoming perfect. But from
accepting our imperfections. Realizing none of us has the right
to look down his nose at anyone else. Forgiveness is the key
to getting rid of all the karma, and freeing onesself from this world.
But first, we have to learn to forgive ourselves for being human.
Then, we will be able to learn to forgive others.
