Every religion has its own taboos and commandments, and Christianity is no exception. However, Christianity does not have an overly complicated set of rules and regulations to restrict the life of believers, just some established rules. What are the taboos and taboos in Christian culture? Let's take a look at it with the school easy search.
I. Faith
The Christian God is the sole master of the universe, and it is forbidden to worship idols other than God. When giving gifts to Christians, avoid idols of other religions or totems worshipped by other nationalities. Respect the Christian faith, don't swear to God, and don't make fun of God Jesus. Because Christian sects are different, their doctrines are different. In order to avoid hurting feelings unintentionally, some questions must be made clear. For example, priests and priests are different names for their clergy in Catholicism and Protestantism, which cannot be confused.
Second, treat marriage.
According to the narration of the Garden of Eden in the biblical year, Christianity holds that: first, marriage is sacred, because the origin of marriage is to create the Lord himself; Secondly, marriage should be monogamous, and God created Eve to make Adam understand this truth. Christianity does not advocate divorce because marriage is sacred and requires monogamy. Traditionally, Christianity believes that the premise of divorce is that one party commits adultery. Another situation mentioned in the Bible that allows divorce is that one party leaves voluntarily because of different beliefs.
Third, don't eat blood.
The reason is that blood symbolizes life and is an important part of the sacrificial ceremony in the Old Testament. In addition, the New Testament also explains the function of blood, which is the salvation power of Jesus Christ who laid down his life on the cross. Since blood is so important, Christians in the Bible are asked not to eat blood in memory.
4. It is forbidden to visit fortune telling, fortune telling, divination, astrology, etc.
Because these superstitions have a fatalistic tendency besides believing that mysterious forces other than God interfere in life. Christianity believes that everyone is loved by God and has the will to choose. God will not impose his will on others, but people choose their own way of life voluntarily, and everyone is responsible for their chosen behavior. This superstitious activity runs counter to this.
Avoid worshipping idols other than God. When giving gifts to Christians, avoid idols of other religions or totems worshipped by other nationalities. Respect the Christian faith, don't swear to God, and don't make fun of God Jesus.
Fifth, hurry up.
Christians have the habit of fasting. Christianity stipulates that believers only eat vegetarian dishes and fish every Friday and peaceful night, and don't eat other meat. There is also a rule of fasting in Catholicism, that is, on Good Friday and the day before Christmas, only one full meal is eaten, and the other two meals can only be half full or less. Christians often pray before meals, such as having dinner with Christians, and then clean up the dishes after Christians pray.
Six, taboo thirteen and Friday
They hate the number "13" and Friday. In the eyes of Christians, "13" and "Friday" are ominous symbols. If 13 and Friday happen to be the same day, they will often stay indoors. In the meantime, don't disturb them.
Christianity and Catholicism are mainly doctrinal differences:
Christianity only worships the Trinity God; Catholicism worships Mary and Peter in addition to the Trinity.
Christianity believes that only Jesus is the mediator; And Catholicism believes that Maria is also a mediator.
Christianity has only one book, 66 volumes of the Bible; In addition to the 66 volumes of the Bible, there are 7 volumes of the Second Classic of Catholicism.
Christianity has no pope; Catholicism has a pope, and the pope is revered.
Christianity believes that only God has the right to atone; Catholic popes and priests have the right to atone.
Christian salvation is "salvation by faith"; The Catholic redemption method is "keep the commandments and you will be saved."
There is no purgatory in Christianity; Catholicism has purgatory.
Christian priests can get married; Catholic priests cannot get married.
