Humanities

I am taking a college humanities course. We are discussing all the religions of the past and how they shaped mankind…except christianity. It has come up several times that everyone is wondering why we don’t discuss Christianity however we are discussing Islam, Hinduism, Greek Mythology, etc.

Well I think I have the answer. Yes beyond the fact that Christianity is the only Way and Truth and evidently it scares the “powers” that be. The main reason is that with all those other religions, they all rely on humans to control.

With Hinduism it is dharam and karma. It is your role to fulfill who you are. To enlighten yourself and change what is in you, overcome your desires, so that you can reach moksha. In Greek Mythology it was about man and how god was so much like man…even to the point that we could do what we wanted and they did what they wanted. However, in Christianity it has nothing to do with us. It is all about who Christ was and what He did. There is nothing we can do to reach Him…he must reach to us.

Too much of this world thinks we are IT, however it has nothing to do with us. We are created beings, and created for the sole pupose of worshiping God (Yahweh). He could have chosen the trees, or the rocks…but He chose us to sing His Glory. I think I shall dwell more on this later. Until then….PRAISE GOD!
