† Beliefs †

In this section of the blog, we are going to talk about Christian beliefs.

- There is only 1 God and he creates everything (the universe, people, the world, everything that is seen or unseen). He is perfect, everywhere, all-powerful, and knows everything. He loves everyone.

- This only 1 God took form of 3 persons (parts) when he appears before humans (these 3 persons are consider to be 1 God, not 3 God): God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and The Holy Spirit. This is call Trinity.

- Jesus Christ is the human form of God, both fully human (which he lived and experienced things like normal human beings on earth) and fully divine. After Resurrection and Jesus ascend to heaven, God the Son (Jesus) send down his ghost form, ‘The Holy Spirit’, to guide, comfort, and encourage Christians through various aspects of life.

- Jesus is the Son of God. He was sent down to Earth from heaven, by God, for salvation (save humanity from evil and the consequences of their sins).

- Anyone who follows Jesus may receive salvation.

- The Bible is the Word and Teachings of God.

- The Holy Spirit send Jesus down to Earth through the virgin Mary. This means: Mary wants to marry Joseph, but before they came together, Mary became pregnant because of the Holy Spirit sending Jesus down through her stomach.

- Jesus suffered and was crucified (hang on a cross) to pay for the sins (guilt and mistakes) of human. Jews don't like Jesus teachings to Christians, so they hand Jesus over to Romans. Thus, Roman falsely blame Jesus for teaching dangerous ideas that involves in rebelling the government, so they execute him through crucifixion. Jesus was mocked, beaten, and taunted by the Romans.

- Jesus died and was buried. Joseph of Arimathea wrapped Jesus in clean linen cloth and buried him in a tomb. Then, Joseph rolled a big stone to block the entrance.

- Jesus resurrected on the 3rd day after his crucifixion, which means he died and came back to life again, and ascend to heaven to God, his father. This lead Christians to believe that they can have an eternal (permanent) life after death in Heaven, like Jesus too.

- Jesus will return to Earth to judge the sins of humans. People will be punish, by their own sins, if they don’t admit their sins and not believing in God. People are forgiven and save if they admit their sins and confess their beliefs about God.
