How a Christian might apply their beliefs Essay

In this, my second piece of coursework I will be flavour at how a Christian might apply the rears that I and outlined in A01 and will refer to specific land sites of struggle to elaborate this.A Christian could apply the beliefs I recently mentioned in A01 done all different means. The most recent event of late to do with war conflict is the Iraq war. Saddam Hussian we were told and could see was non a peculiarly pleasant man. I sampled in papers and through tv what he was doing to people and how he treated them. As Christians because in one point of view from the discourse on the Mount we should concede this man for his wrong doings and let him repent his own sins.This belief of forgiveness decelerates that should he recognise his wrongs and variety show his behaviour he could then be forgiven of his previous sins. Unfortunately Saddam was tolerant of the pain and wo(e) caused under his regime and unwilling to recognise a need to change his behaviour. However once ca ptured Saddam was not subjected to the torture that he enforce but treated in a Christian and humane manner. though as the passage states we should still maintain our Christian values and be forgiving, to turn the other cheek.An issue closer to home regarding conflict and Christianity is the fighting in Northern Ireland regarding the Catholics and Protestants. The two communities ar constantly at war with one another over their faiths and in doing so are abandoning the core values of their religions. These two sets of people are following the midpoint for an shopping center, tooth for a tooth, way of life of dealing with their problems and issues, which has proven itself through twenty age of conflict to be ineffective and destructive. As again the passage from the Sermon on the Mount comes into effect and the two sides should realise that when a someone of one side is killed they should not seek revenge and to kill, but to get it on and let live. Then this may result in an halt to the violence and tragedies that are so often occurring.In the other effect towards Saddam Hussian issues we as Christians could most notice the quote of An eye for and eye and a tooth for tooth, from the Old will and do to Saddam the horrific things that we hear of him doing. Not many Christians, today I believe see this way of dealing with things. More to the point would not be really subject as out generation of law and order would just not allow it.When people saw Saddam Hussian damaging an empire and soil most I would have believed that they were angry and human instinct gets the violate of belief. It is a natural feeling to become angry and upset with something or somebody. And this combining with believing that it is right to acknowledge the passage from the Old Testament results in terrible effects to peoples lives. Also this relates to the Wars going on close to Northern Ireland. The two religions are constantly battling each other. We have seen the results of th is situation and there is no justice to the trauma and deaths that are carried out.
