What does the wrod Dogma means to you?

Question

Someone once told me that he actully see the wrod (Dogma) as (God me). What do you think of that?

Answer 1

I did enjoy the movie Dogma by Kevin Smith. It sorta was the precursor to The DaVinci Code. The last known descendant of Christ, Bethany Sloane (played by Linda Fiorentino) is called upon by Metatron (Alan Rickman) to save humanity. Yes, "Faith can be a funny thing."

Dogma, to me, means rules of the church and could be most overwhelming at times. It is dry, sometimes demeaning and humiliating and downright confusing. Dogma is not a favorite in my vocabulary.

The movie Dogma lightened it up and put a new perspective by giving alternate meanings and reasons behind church dogma. And also in a strange way stressed that women were usually left out of the equation in religion.

Answer 2

It pertains to religious scripture and practice. Sometimes people use the word negatively when they are talking about a religion or something else they don't believe in.

I read a book that had Dogma in the title, I think it was called "Ritual and Dogma" it was a book about Freemason practices.

I didn't like that movie "Dogma" very much. I didn't mind the part about making fun of religion or religious institutions, but I just thought they could have done much better than that. They used the name "Loki" for an angel (Loki was the Norse god of mischief) and had another character as a "Muse" (which is from Greek mythology and has nothing to do with Christianity.) Having that corporation with the golden calf was pretty clever, though.

Answer 3

Nothing really. It is the name of one of my favorite movies though.

Christian doctrine has often taken a specific form called “dogma.” Although the term originally referred to “that which is regarded as good,” the early Christians employed it to mean a teaching that came from divine revelation and was authoritatively defined as true by the church. The collection of such teachings is also referred to as dogma.

Answer 4

Dogma (the plural is either dogmata or dogmas, Greek δόγμα, plural δόγματα) is the headquartered notion or doctrine held with the aid of a religion, ideology or any style of group, proposal to be authoritative and to not be disputed, doubted or diverged from.

Answer 5

Dogma (the plural is either dogmata or dogmas, Greek δόγμα, plural δόγματα) is the established belief or doctrine held by a religion, ideology or any kind of organization, thought to be authoritative and not to be disputed or doubted. While in the context of religion the term is largely descriptive, outside of religion its current usage tends to carry a pejorative connotation — referring to concepts as being "established" only according to a particular point of view, and thus one of doubtful foundation.

Answer 6

To me, it's the principles or the guidelines by which you live. A dogma can even be Karma. It's what sometimes helps you define yourself.

Answer 7

to me it means a doctrine or code of beliefs accepted as authoritative; "he believed all the Marxist dogma"
yer i got it off the google dictionary buh i culdnt put it in my own words

Answer 8

It's definition is doctrine or a code of conduct.
I think it means control and have no part of it.
I also love the Kevin Smith movie of the same name. =)

Answer 9

Makes me think of that Kevin Smith movie...

Answer 10

I understand it as pertified, rigid belief.
To say: this is so because my holy book says it's so.
Hence, I know it to be so.
Hence, I'm right and you are wrong.
Always.
