Modern myths in some shape or form have affected society’s way of thinking and living. In today’s modern myths the teaching of religion is the greatest myth to mankind. Mankind belief formed from emotions and a belief system of worshiping some type of god or gods. In Judaism they believe in the life you live on earth will be your final act before judgment day.
The deeds you do determine whether whether you go to heaven or hell. Judaism believes that the messiah still have not come, while Christians in modern religion believe Jesus was the messiah who died and resurrected. It is also believed Jesus was crucified by the Romans on a cross used to punish the accussed. until death. Jews who believed in Judaism, believed Jesus was a great prophet among the Jewish culture, Christians believe Jesus is the messiah. Judaism does not believe in the after life nor do They believe Jesus resurrected from the dead.
Judaism believes in Shoel meaning nothing. Judaism still plays an important role in christianity in today’s modern myths. It has shaped and formed my way of thinking in my christain walk with God. Constantine also had an effect on how I think about christain way of thinking, I realized so many religions can affect the way you believe and evaluate how you perceive your belief. Constantine the great gave definition to Christians who followed Christ, meaning Christ followers. It was a negative remark he at that time.
Constantine was the ruler of Roman Empire in 304, and was credited with social and economic reform which influenced medieval societies. In 313 legally ended pagan persecution of christains. It was not until 325 he used imperial power to bring unity to the church, it was not until this time Constantine had a change of heart. Constantine embrace of christainity eventually led him to be baptized in 337. Constantine like many others had a supernatural life experience which led him to be saved. .
I personally believe Jesus died and was resurrected from the dead for our sins through his blood. Constantine was saved by that same grace no matter what he did in his past. It is the hope and faith of mankind to believe in something in order to fill the void God created within mankind. I truly believe in God of the son of man Jesus Christ, because of the things he has done for me. I can not explain in the natural how God healed me I just know that he did. I had seizures as a child eight years old, and a small hole in the head that closed.
The doctors had no medical reason how it happened, they just knew I no longer was a seizure patient. I told my mother as a child I was healed . My mother took me to church often. I believe if every man had something supernaturally happen in his life a change would happen to them. The healing experience truly changes my life at an early age. I am a true believer in the word of God, the great I am. Islam is another religion similar to Judaism or christainity, except their morals are a little different if justified for their deeds, and how they worship their god.
Islam us a monotheistic Abrahamic religion originating with the teachings of the Islamic prophet Muhammad in the 7th century Arab religions and political figure. The word Islam means “submission” or total. Islam is the second largest world religion , it is prevelant in the United States. Islam worship Allah their god. Islam claim to have similar beliefs doing good deeds, most Islam’s believe lying or dying for the cause is forgiven by their god. The commandments for christains clearly states it is a sin and require repentance.
The religion of Buddhism is another modern myth on religion. Buddhism is based on the teachings of Siddhartha Gualanau. The characteristic are a cosmic religion. It transcend a personal god to each individual. Buddhism covers both natural and spiritual experience. It amazes me how this religion deals with spiritualism of man. I compared different aspects of their lives. I have talked to a Buddhist, and he believed what ever make you happy is what you should believe. I told him how good my God was and he wanted to talk more about my God.
What is called a modern myth in today’s society often are the affect the belief of an individual. Modern myth or religious belief have shaped and formed society century after century. My Experience with my God, the great I am, the messiah Jesus Christ has shaped and formed my life into the person I am today. Evaluating the different modern myths in religion today proves how supreme God is. I can love all people regardless of where they are in their life. I do not beat people across the head with a cross. I just tell them how good my God is, and what he did for me.
