Christian Ethics

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that Christianity is based on concepts from the biblical laws set forth by the Ten Commandments; therefore, the basis of any Christian ethics discussion begins with the Ten Commandments, the true source, foundation, and nature of the "Christian Ethics" philosophy. The author points out that Christian ethics must allow believers to accept the fact that mankind will never meet God's standards, but they must continue to comply with those unreachable standards. The paper stresses that Christian ethics must have believers who are willing to do good deeds as penance and teach the spirit of these laws in order to attain the graces of God.

From the Paper:

"The religious philosophies surrounding Jesus Christ have begun to move away from historical accounts of the biblical writers to more of a shift in the Christian Ethics. In other words, the meanings of the ethics as opposed to the historical facts have become a modern way of interpreting scripture. As the Roman Catholic Church registers a diminishing support base, there has still been an overall global rise in the following the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Christian philosophy. These interests are being fueled on more or less the New Testament ethics because apparently the historical teaching methods have not been able to make it as teaching tools in the modern world. The appeal of the Christian biblical studies about Jesus no longer uses history as a tool for understanding the biblical texts or Christian Ethics."
