Christian ecumenism Christianity is a monotheistic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth as presented in the New Testament writings of his early followers. It is the world's largest religion, with an estimated 2.1 billion adherents, or about one-third of the total world population.

28. World Religions: Comparative Analysis An analysis of this parable which appears in the scriptures of both religions. http://www.comparativereligion.com/prodigal.html

The Parable of the Prodigal Son in Christianity and Buddhism Most of you know the Parable of the Prodigal Son as it appears in Luke's gospel, but probably few are aware that it has a Buddhist parallel in one of the major writings of Mahayana Buddhism. Although both parables seem to convey a similar message regarding God's compassion for humans, a closer look will reveal fundamental differences in their teaching and consequently between Christianity and Buddhism. Let us quote both parables and then analyze them. First, here is the text in the Gospel According to Luke There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to his father, "Father, give me my share of the estate." So he divided his property between them. Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything. When he came to his senses, he said, "How many of my father's hired men have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired men." So he got up and went to his father.

How to choose a church to attend BASIC CHRISTIAN BELIEFS God loves us and would like for us to live eternally with Him in glory. Because of our sin (= willful rebellion), we are separated from God. We cannot overcome sin by our own efforts. Because God loves us, He came to earth in human form (as Jesus) and died on the cross to take the penalty for our sins. Because Christ has died for us, salvation (= forgiveness of sin and reconciliation to God) is available as a free gift to anyone who is willing to receive it. We receive salvation by making a life-changing commitment to Christ, not merely by accepting doctrines or joining an organization.

36. Faith & Reason Ministries Aims to reconcile christianity with accepted science. Includes complete text of John Callahan's book Science and christianity , and short articles on a selection of other topics. http://www.faithreason.org/

Reconciling Christianity with Accepted Science The Sombrero Galaxy This ministry accepts modern science (including biological evolution and the Big Bang), a valuable, yet non-perfect Bible, and a Jesus of history, divine. The evidence clearly shows Jesus to be exactly who He claimed to be: the only Son of God and as such God incarnate. God is infinite and good. The Bible is the greatest book ever written. It contains the writings of great men of God who were largely inspired by Him. However, like any other document, it is not absolutely perfect, and in some places it is badly flawed. The Earth is 4.5 billion years old, and life began billions of years ago with very primitive forms. These forms slowly evolved into the wide variety of plants and animals we see today. The universe, though finite and created by God, is unimaginably complex and vast. It contains billions of galaxies typically composed of billions of stars; it also contains myriads of powerful spiritual beings (both good and evil), and the likelihood of other life forms similar to man. The fall of Satan and his angels occurred before the Big Bang to pervert the entire universe at a very deep and fundamental level.

39. How Freemasonry Corrupts Christianity Describes how Masonry is blasphemous and leads Christians away from Jesus Christ. http://home.ptd.net/~magog/theology.htm

How Freemasonry Corrupts Christianity Freemasonry turns men away from Jesus Christ in at least 5 different ways: Freemasonry purposely deletes the name of Jesus Christ from its prayers and scripture quotations. Freemasonry requires Christian members to disobey Jesus Christ by officially forbidding all discussions of Christ from Lodge activities. Freemasonry denies the deity of Jesus Christ(note: niether accepting nor denying is a "lukewarm" approach to the subject. This is UTTERLY REJECTED BY CHRIST in Revelation 3:15-16) Freemasonry intentionally downplays the unique role of Jesus Christ as our Savior by teaching that the Christian proclamation of divine redemption is simply the revival of earlier pagan stories. Freemasonry does all of these in their Order yet in the "Monitor of the Lodge: Monitorial Instructions in the Three Degrees of Symbolic Masonry"(Grand Lodge of Texas, 1982), p.10 says: "Freemasonry is far removed from all that is...ungodly." Henry C. Clausen, "Clausen's Commentaries on Morals and Dogma"(The Supreme Council, 33rd Degree, Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, Southern Jurisdiction of the U.S.A., 1976), p.159 says: "We do not say to Christians that Christ was a mere man, whose life story is only a revival of similar older[pagan] stories. To do any of these things would be irreverent. We utter no such words."

In the last twenty years, the history of women in ancient christianity has http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/religion/first/women.html

var loc = "../../../"; Karen L. King is Professor of New Testament Studies and the History of Ancient Christianity at Harvard University in the Divinity School. She has published widely in the areas of Gnosticism, ancient Christianity, and Women's Studies. In the last twenty years, the history of women in ancient Christianity has been almost completely revised. As women historians entered the field in record numbers, they brought with them new questions, developed new methods, and sought for evidence of women's presence in neglected texts and exciting new findings. For example, only a few names of women were widely known: Mary, the mother of Jesus ; Mary Magdalene, his disciple and the first witness to the resurrection; Mary and Martha, the sisters who offered him hospitality in Bethany. Now we are learning more of the many women who contributed to the formation of Christianity in its earliest years. Perhaps most surprising, however, is that the stories of women we thought we knew well are changing in dramatic ways. Chief among these is Mary Magdalene, a woman infamous in Western Christianity as an adulteress and repentant whore. Discoveries of new texts from the dry sands of Egypt, along with sharpened critical insight, have now proven that this portrait of Mary is entirely inaccurate. She was indeed an influential figure, but as a prominent disciple and leader of one wing of the early Christian movement that promoted women's leadership. Certainly, the New Testament Gospels, written toward the last quarter of the first century CE, acknowledge that women were among Jesus' earliest followers. From the beginning, Jewish women disciples, including Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Susanna, had accompanied Jesus during his ministry and supported him out of their private means
