Likewise, the Muslims have stereotyped the Christians to be conspiring against them in association with the western powers.
The history of Hinduism is closely associated with social and political developments which can be exemplified by the rise and fall of empires. The dating of its early history is further strained by the fact that Hindus opt to concern themselves with the substance and meaning of a text rather than its date.

He further said the TJC spreads so rapidly throughout China.
Such qualities as fairness, goodness, and kindness among others are necessary if the leader has to positively impact their followers. Yet again, the good leader has to adopt a set of values prioritizing them over one another if need be and depending on prevailing circumstances.

Therefore, one cannot be truly saved if he continues to lead an immoral life, because the transforming power of true faith is not evident in his actions. Works become the evidence, not the standard or pre-requisite, by which salvation is bestowed as a gift. Salvation is not the wage or reward in exchange for leading a virtuous life.
Based on the current statistic, Christianity is one of the largest religions in the world. Christianity is available in almost all parts of the world.

In a parody of this logic, it can be noted that huge numbers of the world’s population are living in poverty. God obviously prefers poverty and blesses those nations that keep the most people in poverty, as is evidenced by the continually increasing numbers of people living in poverty. This is a tautological argument

it is known that the bible makes it clear that it was not all accounts of Jesus Christ that were recorded in the bible (Gardener, 2009)[1]. But should these accounts have been recorded, they would have been so important in guiding a Christian step. To this end, the research and study on authentic apocalyptic literature should continue.

Voltaire did not believe in organized religion, as this is the cause of many social evils in the world, with the evil people hiding behind the veils of religiosity. Matteo on the other hand sees that religion is found in people’s cultures, and in order for evangelists to win people, they must identify with their cultures.
In order for the Apostles to convince the opposition faced from the beginning that the works of the risen Christ were active and sufficient for a religion worth a God’s Chosen People, deliberate manifestations of active presence of God had to take place. In view of the role of the Holy Spirit in this active participation, this discourse highlights the Book of Acts as a classical record of how Christianity had its work cut out by the Holy Spirit.

It is no wonder seeing Christians going to churches every Sunday or Saturday, with some carrying their Bibles by their side. Ask anyone the reason why they do so, and the answer will be obvious, they are going to ‘worship.’ The reason provided by most Christians for worshiping is to appreciate God the highest for what He has done in their lives.
This is the use of religion to preach against the unjustness in life from unjust economic conditions to poverty or even political repression.

Helping others is a responsibility Lord has specified to everyone. Using our spiritual reward we put up, assist, and sustain the entire community to develop them and help them rise in life.

The paper "Muslims in the West" is an outstanding example of a research paper on religion and theology. The Muslim community is flourishing day by day.

God the Son is actually an embodiment of God the Father, which is simultaneously an instrument of Creation and its embodiment.

The scripture asked us to transcend the material abundance and to correct greediness; wanting us to prepare for His second coming and for the Kingdom in heaven. The passage was originally addressed in the Israelian context to answer the need for servants not to be led falsely to the mundane concerns but to be more concerned in preparing themselves for the hereafter (Sewell, 2012).
