The Many Different Types Of Christ

By Barbara Collins


The thing about the night sky is that it is so vast. Throughout its inky blackness, there are so many stars that twinkle against it, it can make a person wonder if there was someone who crafted it, who put it all together. Such musings then formed the basis for religion. Now, as there are may followers, there are also multiple different ways to interpret the types of Christ.

Religion is an organized set of spiritual beliefs. There will usually be a central figure, a spiritual founder. Now, there will be places of worships, usually churches or temples of some sort. There will also be some behavioral guidelines that the believers are expected to follow every day in their lives.

Christianity is one of many, many religions that can be adhered to. In fact, it is the largest religion in the world, with around one third of the total population currently living in the world subscribing to it in some capacity or another. It can trace its origins back to what is known as the Middle East.

There are a number of reasons that people worship. For a lot of people, it is a habit, something that they did as children and they carry into adulthood. Some individuals can fake religious beliefs in order to manipulate others for their own gain. And of course, there are simply those who sincerely believe in a higher power.

The title of Christ means the anointed one. This means that the individual with the title is seen as the chosen one, the one to redeem all the sins of man. Indeed, this is one of the central tenets of Christianity, that the crucified carpenter, in allowing the crucifixion to happen in the first place, that all the sins of humanity up to that point were then forgiven.

One of the most common aspects of the Christ was as the redeemer. In this capacity, Christians believe their founder cleansed all the sins of humanity when the crucifixion happened. In fact, many followers believe that the crucifixion itself was the reason that the forgiveness happened.

Now, of course, there is a belief that the carpenter was divine, that they were the actual son of a supreme being. Which leans into the belief of the carpenter being a king. While other religions may venerate the carpenter to some degree, this aspect is what is most controversial, as the other faiths, especially those that worship the same creator, disagree on whether or not the founder of Christianity really had a sliver of divinity at all.

Then there is another aspect, that of the prophet. In essence, this may be most readily believed. Because the carpenter did wander the desert and did spread about a gospel of love to fellow man, or at the very least, a modicum of decency, of not being a dick to other.

As long as there are people, it is likely that there will always be religion, and for good reason. As long as there is a universe, there will always be those who want to look for their place in it, to find some kind of meaning to existence. As long as there is any sort of spiritual belief, there will always be multiple interpretations to it.
