The Many Different Types Of Christ

By Barbara Collins


The thing about human beings is that they are capable of abstract thought. As such, they are to look up that night sky and see a sliver of the universe. They can wonder about their place in it. Which leads to them wondering if there was someone or something out there that created all of it, that put the pieces of the puzzle called creation together, or if someone created the pieces at all. There are so many ways to interpret such questions, which can lead to the many 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.

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.

Now, the founder of Christianity is often referred to as Christ. The word itself is a title which means the anointed one. This means that Christian believe that their founder, a humbler carpenter, was divine.

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.

There is also the aspect the king. Christians believe that their founder of their religion was the son of a higher power. To them, this makes the founder the king, not just in the whole world but possibly of the whole universe as a whole and even beyond that. This is disputed by followers of other religions, including Islam and Judaism, both of which have similar theological roots as Christianity.

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.
