Refer to the assigned reading for explanation of characteristics listed on the left. Christianity Materialism Personal View Relational Multidimensional Sexual Moral Mortal Destined for Eternal Life Destined for eternal life: Answer: Christianity Materialism Personal View Relational Christianity focuses more on the internal belief and state of relation. Contemporary work stress on the relational ideas in the persons and how the concept of one world religion does not give the actual differences of the behavior of people. This concept includes the identification of both the human and non-human features. Personhood is relational to the extent the human mind is influenced by the people around. Multidimensional Christianity combines with Judeo to describe multidimensional personhood. It relates to the transformation of personality and relationships (Palmquist, 2010). This defines personhood as one which is similar to the methods of natural science. Human science confronts with the multidimensional reality and creates the new science. Human beings are multidimensional and their personalities do change with the change of circumstances. Sexual Christianity understands sexuality through humanity. It states when personhood is removed from God, Sexuality is removed from personhood. Materialism considers sexuality to be the requirement of the human body and a necessity tool for procreation (Radha Krishna Alsuwaigh, 2014). Sexuality is divine. Moral Christianity states morality can be achieved when material things are removed from the disruptive mediums. This concept considers humans to be totally physical and morality is a state of mind. I believe morality is the conscious that exists in every human and his ability to judge the right and wrong. Mortal The concept of mortality is Catholic and primarily refers to the sins. This concept believes that human beings are mortals and they eventually die and end life (Palmquist, 2010). Human beings are mortals and hence they commit wrong and are punished before they die. Destined for Eternal Life Destined for eternal life: The Bible does not refer directly to the life after death and Christianity when relate to eternal life prefer to mean that individual is living or conscious in some way or other. Materialism do not believe in the eternal life or existence of life after death. Nothing is eternal and eventually everything perishes. References Palmquist, S. (2010).Cultivating personhood.
