Religion, society and how social groups influence their beliefs?.
Simple question here.This is all religions, creeds, beliefs or beliefs .. Christians, Jews, Muslims, pagans, Wiccans, Taoists, Buddhists, etc. .. and so on … I had a question like this before, but is more specific. What was once a belief, whatever their faith may be how society has changed you experiences influence their religious beliefs or lack of.Same WIH social groups. Someone has taken a decision based on what people think other-exp …. if all the popular kids at school believe in nihilism Would you that the influence the same way and convince yourself for later in life that was what was chosen because of their faith in him. The same applies to any other religion. I hope you all are not tired of my questions yet.
As a Christian, I think it should be "otherwise". Instead of influencing the world in which (Christian), our lifestyle and behavior should have a positive effect and / or influence over the world – people, society and social groups, from our own oikos (house / circle of influence) and spread outwards to society. That's life and ministry of Jesus involved in the world then and to this day. We as Christians must strive to be like Christ and the body of Christ continue His earthly ministry. "13 Ye are the salt of the earth, but if the salt loses its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? Moreover no use except to be thrown out and trampled by men. 14 You are the light of the world. A city that is in one hill can not be hid. 15 No one lights a lamp and put it under a bushel, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 Let your light shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. "[Matthew 5:13-16 KJV] _______" 15 I'm not asking you to take them out of the world, but to protect them from evil. 16 They are the world, as I am not the world. 17 Sanctify them by Your truth: Your word is truth. "[John 17:15-17 KJV] _______" true, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that will do well, and even greater will, because I go unto my Father. "[John 14:12 KJV] x
