World Religions

Religions have shaped the nations of our world very much, yet rarely do we ever take the time to learn about it. Religions have defined nations, given purpose to lives of people, and have started wars. This here report is a report on such religions, their beliefs, their founders, and their followers.

Judaism was founded by the Hebrew nation of Israel. Abraham, as in the Bible character, is recognized as the Father of this religion. One of the most tenet doctrines in Judaism is monotheism, or the belief in one God. This idea is expressed in the Bible as well as many of Judaism’s other doctrines. It was prophesied in the Bible that a Messiah, or Savior would be born. He was expected to come bringing God’s kingdom of perfect harmony here to Earth. After the destruction of the First Temple in 586 B.C. and the captivity by the Babylonians that followed it, a few other doctrines were added to the religion that we now call Judaism. It was in Babylonia that the Israelites adopted and absorbed new ideas, like the personification of evil, which they named Satan, and the belief in the resurrection of the dead.

The whole story sounds like the script to the movie Matrix, or something like that, but it doesn’t stop there. According to Mormon beliefs, we still are all spirits in haven. God chooses his leaders in heaven, and chooses which one of us should be born, so everybody will be born at a time where they will be most effective. Mormons also believe that we had to leave heaven in order that we may develop a God-like character and become gods. In order to do this, we had to make a decision between good and evil. All our spirits would eventually have to be clothed in physical bodies. We would then leave our physical bodies at death, and be reunited with them at the resurrection. We would then receive our immortal bodies, just like that of our God Parents.

Reverend John Wesley began evangelistic preaching within the Church of England in 1738. The Weslyan Methodist Church was first established in 1791, and the Methodist Episcopal Church was founded in the United States in 1784. Their name derives from the founder’s desire to study religion “by rule and method.” They wanted to follow the Bible interpreted by tradition and reason. The worship service varies by denomination with Methodism (the United Methodist Church is the largest congregation). The church is like a perfectionist in its social dealings, and communion is practices, as well as the baptism of infants and adults. There are 13.5 million members of this Church.
