The Many Interpretations Of The Types Of Christ

By Barbara Collins


Life is all about certain things, certain milestones that a person is expected to hit. First, they are expected to cry out, just to let their parents know they are alive. Then are expected to grow up, go to school, and then graduate college. Then they are supposed to find a job, to find gainful employment. Over the course of all of that, they are supposed to find a romantic partner, preferably someone of an opposite gender. The pairing is then expected to produce at least one child, although two or three are preferred. Then, they are supposed to buy a house, a home where they can put their family so they will be safe and comfortable behind a white picket fence. Society also dictates that the whole family is to trudge to a place of worship at least one time a week, where under the guidance of a reverend or a priest, they will ponder on the types of Christ.

Religion is essence, a group of belief that lean towards being spiritual in nature. The beliefs that are purported by a religious faith are not just philosophical musings. No, they are also guidelines for daily living.

Christianity is a religion that can outline its roots to Judaism. This particular religion can trace its origins back to what is currently what the world now calls the Middle East. The main message of it is love and forgiveness, about forgiving and loving each other.

Now, for a variety of reason people hold religious beliefs. For many of them, it is a simple habit, something they did with their parents whole growing up that stuck with them to adulthood. Others simply hold sincere beliefs in their particular faith of choice.

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.

Possible the most well known aspect is being the carpenter is as the redeemer. Now, the redeemer was supposedly born as a human, lived as one, and grew up as one, before being baptized and realizing their destiny. As the redeemer, the carpenter was then nailed to a cross, and in doing so, took all the sins of man into themselves and cleansed humanity of its sin.

There is a belief that the carpenter was a king, born to a prophecy. Born to redeem and lead the world. This is a point of contention with the other Abrahamic religions, as the others see the carpenter as a prophet, a great prophet, but prophet nonetheless.

Now comes the part of the prophet. This is that aspect that every other faith can get behind, because this is not a role in which divinity has to be established. Anyone can be a prophet, and the carpenter was seen as one of the best, even in other faiths, with the message of love and forgiveness being fairly universal regardless of spiritual beliefs.

Mileage is going to vary. In the same vein that not every car is going to have the same gas mileage, the gospels are not going to affect the listeners in the exact same way. Which is why it is best to look into the different points of view.
