"By participating in the ownership of shared knowledge an individual belongs to a particular group possessing a particular perspective on the world." (Blog post 2)

Being a Christian

    Straight away from the heading you can already tell what the main and significant perspective of the world is. I believe that there is a God and that god is father, son and holy ghost in one. The son being jesus who was sent to the world to sacrifice for humanity's sin's however, some people do not believe the details that god is all three and this is when separation happened between christianity. Christian is broad itself and within Christianity there are groups that derived from it ex. Catholicism and many more. The Center for the Study of Global Christianity at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary estimated 34,000 denominations in 2000, rising to an estimated 43,000 in 2012.  This indicates that even within my group, there are hundreds more, but i'm not here to talk about the amounts of group there are. I am here to talk about my group's belief and what we believe in about this world

     We believe that when we are in this world, we are trying to bring in the kingdom of god (heaven) to earth or in other words, greatness and righteousness. We believe in the teaches of the bible strongly and try to interpret the bible in our way most fitting. If we have faith in god and jesus, we will be saved and have eternal life because we think that in this world, judgement day will come upon us and god will save us from the sin and death of this world. Life is short for a reason and that is why we believe we should devote as much time as possible to god and jesus so that when the time comes to be judged, we can be saved and go to heaven. If we live a life full of sin we think god will be righteously angry at us and judge us to not let us enter the gates of heaven. He wants us to confess our sins to him and worship him as much time as possible and devoting our lives to him so that he can grant us a place in what we believe is heaven where there is no sin and no harm in anyway in this place. God describes heaven in the bible to be unlike anything we have seen in this world, saying that no "good" feeling that we associate in this world (eating your favorite food, watching favorite tv or doing your favorite activity) is compared to what heaven is like, and we can be there forever and have eternal life. In saving us (salvation), we also believe that baptism is the key to salvation and you can be baptized at any time once you have attained faith and belief in christ. When you are baptized, you die with jesus and are reborn, or resurrected.
