The Many Different Types Of Christ

By Barbara Collins


The thing about the night sky is that it is so vast. Throughout its inky blackness, there are so many stars that twinkle against it, it can make a person wonder if there was someone who crafted it, who put it all together. Such musings then formed the basis for religion. Now, as there are may followers, there are also multiple different ways to interpret the 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, there are so many people worship, and so many reasons that their interpretations of the gospels they believe in all differ. Some people see their founder in many different ways, so many different points of view to look at one single person. This person is put on a pedestal, whether rightly so or not.

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.

Possible the most well known aspect is being the carpenter is as the redeemer. Now, the redeemer was supposedly born as a human, lived as one, and grew up as one, before being baptized and realizing their destiny. As the redeemer, the carpenter was then nailed to a cross, and in doing so, took all the sins of man into themselves and cleansed humanity of its sin.

Now, of course, there is a belief that the carpenter was divine, that they were the actual son of a supreme being. Which leans into the belief of the carpenter being a king. While other religions may venerate the carpenter to some degree, this aspect is what is most controversial, as the other faiths, especially those that worship the same creator, disagree on whether or not the founder of Christianity really had a sliver of divinity at all.

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.
