Christianity Basics

Paragraph:

  Alot of people claim to be a Christian, which usually means they believe in Christianity. I think the term is usually used negatively now a days in our society because of a decent number of people that don't legitimently follow the teachings and lessons of the Bible, and end up just being judgmental and have a false sense of "higherbeing".  This isnt how it should be, or how I believe God/Jesus intended it to be..This would end up being a very long report instead of a paragraph if i continued, so i will leave it at dont judge the term Christianity based on the poor examples that claim to be so, but base it on the idea and the concept that real Christ-Followers portray.

Monism In a Nutshell

Paragraph:

 Technically the concept of all things really being one thing could be applied to many religions.  Some denominations of Christianity believe God exists in someway everywhere and is found in all things, so this would be Monism to some extent. Also this plays a role in Pantheism as well, since in Pantheists believe all things are god, which would mean all things are ultimately the same.
