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 the most sizable religion in the world. One third of the population is a believer in it. It can trace its genesis back to what the world now knows as the Middle East. It is an Abrahamic religion, meaning that is a relative of both Judaism and Islam.

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 carpenter was the founder of Christianity. They were famously born in a manger in Bethlehem, under a bright star. Then the carpenter grew up and started spreading about a message of peace and love, a message that was spread about in the desert.

Which leads to the aspect of being the redeemer. Most religions show a higher power that brings forth thunder and lightning to bring about some retribution to those that commit sins. But the carpenter preached a message of redemption, of a supreme being who will forgive those who commit transgression against others.

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.

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.
