Christian Church?
My family is ''Christian'' but never go to Church. I really want to go to Church but there is always things to do and I want to really pray and my spiritual family in Church. Mind you I'm only 14. If you have any experiences, please share!
READ THE BIBLE AND THEN CHOOSE THE CHRISTIAN FAITH THAT YOU THINK IS RIGHT FOR YOU, IT IS YOUR'S AND YOUR FAMILY'S CHOICE. GOOD LUCK
When and how did the Christianchurch determine that Jesus'smother ascended bodily intoheaven?
My understanding is that Mary's "Assumption" was not part of the Christian belief system until several hundred years after her death. When was she officially declared a saint, in which century? How did the Christian church decide that she was taken bodily into heaven? Are there any Protestant religions that believe Mary ascended into heaven in the flesh?
The Christian church never determined this. This legend is ascribed first to Semerimas, and survives in more well-known fashion as Venus, Diana, Astarte, Isis, Ishtar, etc... - all the mystery pagan religious had a female deity that was assumed up into heaven. After 313 AD, when Constantine united the empire by blending Roman Paganism with Christian Iconography, many of these pagan practices died hard and were maintained by the subjects of the empire. This "miracle" was transferred and attributed to Mary along with the Immaculate conception, etc... approximately 451 AD, close to the time of the council of Chalcedon. This kept the pagan mystery female deities alive and well under the new alias of "Mary." With so many other names, one more couldn't hurt! They are all pagan doctrines, not Christian doctrines. The Catholic Church is the only denomination that ascribes to that particular form of paganism. The Eastern Orthodox church has some similar influences, but not quite as bad as the western church.
What's the difference betweenBaptist church and ChristianChurch?
I grew up in a Christian Church. Recently I've been looking at a job at a Baptist church but I don't know the differences in beliefs between the two groups. Any help? If you can explain it simply that would be great. Thanks!
Baptists Churches are usually member of one of the Baptist Societies, like the Southern Baptists. Baptist churches, though, are normally operated independently. that is, the Baptist Society they are a member of does NOT dictate how or what they teach. Christian Churches may be completely independent, or they might be a member of a "coalition", a loose collection of similar non-denominational churches. Again, each church is independent, and are not told what to teach. Doctrine wise, they are pretty close to the same. I left a large Christian Church for a smaller Southern Baptist church several years ago, and have had no problems. They both taught the same things, but the Southern Baptist church has more national and international resources behind it. The Christian church must depend TOTALLY os weekly donations for their upkeep and missionary efforts.
