How a Christian might apply their beliefs Essay

In this, my second piece of coursework I will be looking at how a Christian might apply the beliefs that I just describe in A01 and will refer to specific situations of appointment to illustrate this.A Christian could apply the beliefs I recently menti geniusd in A01 through wholly different means. The most(prenominal) recent event of late to do with fight conflict is the Iraq war. ibn Talal Hussein Hussian we were told and could see was not a particularly gratifying human. I heard in papers and through television what he was doing to people and how he treated them. As Christians then in genius point of view from the Sermon on the Mount we should forgive this man for his wrong doings and lay off him repent his own sins.This belief of benevolence decelerates that should he recognise his wrongs and change his behaviour he could then be forgiven of his previous sins. Unfortunately Saddam was tolerant of the pain and suffering caused infra his regime and unwilling to recogni se a need to change his behaviour. yet once captured Saddam was not subjected to the torture that he imposed alone treated in a Christian and humane manner. Though as the passage states we should still maintain our Christian values and be forgiving, to wrestle the other cheek.An issue closer to home regarding conflict and Christianity is the bit in Yankee Ireland regarding the Catholics and Protestants. The two communities are constantly at war with one another over their faiths and in doing so are abandoning the sum total values of their religions. These two sets of people are following the eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, way of transaction with their problems and issues, which has proven itself through twenty years of conflict to be ineffective and destructive. As again the passage from the Sermon on the Mount comes into effect and the two sides should realise that when a person of one side is killed they should not seek revenge and to kill, but to live and let live. Then t his may result in an end to the wildness and tragedies that are so often occurring.In the other effect towards Saddam Hussian issues we as Christians could most notice the quote of An eye for and eye and a tooth for tooth, from the Old Testament and do to Saddam the horrific things that we hear of him doing. non many Christians, today I believe see this way of dealing with things. More to the point would not be really able as out generation of law and order would just not allow it.When people saw Saddam Hussian damaging an empire and country most I would have believed that they were angry and human instinct gets the better of belief. It is a natural feeling to become angry and upset with something or somebody. And this unite with believing that it is right to acknowledge the passage from the Old Testament results in terrible effects to peoples lives. Also this relates to the Wars going on around Northern Ireland. The two religions are constantly battling each other. We have seen the results of this situation and thither is no justice to the trauma and deaths that are carried out.
