Topic > Christianity and Human Rights - 1282

Human Rights have constantly evolved to become an increasingly complex concept; at the same time Christianity, as one of the major religions, has also grown, expanded and become more complex. Originally the concept of human rights included the ideas of life, liberty, security, freedom of religion, opinion and the right of assembly; and from here it was cultivated. A fundamental question regarding human rights and religion is whether disclosure of human rights is appropriate in relation to religion itself, but in Christianity; Christian theologies have shown and studied how Christianity has aided and shaped what we know as human rights. We see how Christianity converges with the norms and standards of human rights and how through these signs its teaching and traditions. “Christianity is a monotheistic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ as presented in the New Testament. Christianity is the world's largest religion, with approximately 2.2 billion adherents, known as Christians. Most Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God, fully divine and fully human, and the savior of humanity prophesied in the Old Testament. Consequently, Christians refer to Jesus as Christ or Messiah.” Christianity grew up in alien cultures: the sophisticated classical civilizations of Greece and Rome. Christianity has always been different. “The Christian religion is a complex religious tradition.” There was no category for human rights before the nineteenth century. But Christians generally understand that rights theory believes in understanding human worth and dignity as universal and intrinsic. Christianity matured in libertarian cultures, thus becoming self-critical. For this reason Christians are aware and aware of the abuses... at the heart of the charter... we all the people can claim these rights. Christianity has played an important role in the history of human freedom and democracy. For example, the foundation and creation of the Magna Carta, whose author was a Christian who was inspired by the Bible. All these principles are inspired by Christian teachings. It is the duty of all Christians and the Christian Church to defend and protect human rights. Help those whose human rights are threatened or taken away. In conclusion, Christianity contributed to the foundation of human rights by serving has a fundamental beginning with ideas, rules and norms of a moral society. These were subsequently taken into account and used as the basic basis. Christianity helps support the idea of ​​equality, of freedom as well as many other principles or norms found in the articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
