Christian teachings and it's effects.

Causes

  • 1. "Love your neighbors."- Jesus
  • 2. "God gives life and god takes it away" - The bible
  • 3. "Do not kill." - 10 commandments
  • 4. "Do no commit adultery" - 10 commandments
  • 5. "The marriage bond is made by god... it can never be dissolved." - Catholic catechism
  • 6. "God has no favourites." - The bible (St Paul - acts 10:34-35)
  • 7. "Care for the foreigner who lives on your land." - The bible (Leviticus 19:34)
  • 8. "I do not permit a woman to teach or assume authority over a man; she must be quiet." -The bible (Timothy 2:12-14)

Effects

  • 1.Christians must show respect and love to all no matter their race or faith or ethnicity. This promotes community cohesion and racial harmony.
  • 2 and 3. Do not play God, only God has the power to give and take life, so euthanasia, abortion and suicide are wrong.
  • 4 and 5. Family life is important and marriage is joined by god. Adultery can lead to divorce which is not a good way to bring up children. You must remain faithful.
  • 6. God does not favor one person over another so why should we. Treat everyone equally no matter what race, gender or faith you are.
  • 7. The bible is the holy book which Christians should live by, therefore treat and look after others equally no matter what their ethnicity. This can promote a multi-ethnic society.
  • 8. This makes a Christian woman's rights poor and have a disrespected role in life, and it may promote sexist thoughts within the family or even community. However not all Christians follow this.

Overall summary

Teaching from the bible and church impact the way a christian lives. As well an promoting positive and negative views on where people are in society.
