The Many Interpretations Of The 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 essence, a group of belief that lean towards being spiritual in nature. The beliefs that are purported by a religious faith are not just philosophical musings. No, they are also guidelines for daily living.

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 title of Christ means the anointed one. This means that the individual with the title is seen as the chosen one, the one to redeem all the sins of man. Indeed, this is one of the central tenets of Christianity, that the crucified carpenter, in allowing the crucifixion to happen in the first place, that all the sins of humanity up to that point were then forgiven.

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.

There is also the aspect the king. Christians believe that their founder of their religion was the son of a higher power. To them, this makes the founder the king, not just in the whole world but possibly of the whole universe as a whole and even beyond that. This is disputed by followers of other religions, including Islam and Judaism, both of which have similar theological roots as Christianity.

Now comes the part of the prophet. This is that aspect that every other faith can get behind, because this is not a role in which divinity has to be established. Anyone can be a prophet, and the carpenter was seen as one of the best, even in other faiths, with the message of love and forgiveness being fairly universal regardless of spiritual beliefs.

Now, people are different from each other. While they are not all entirely unique, there is enough distinction that no two individuals are totally the same. Which is why even faith has many interpretations.
