Equality is the state of being equal or being treated equally as well as treating others equally. People belive that everyone should be treated equally. Other people argue that since everyone is different, it is important and unnatural to give everyone complete equality. The bible quote for this is "A new command I give you: Love one another. As i have loved you, so you must love one another." (John 13:34) The Bible teaches that everyone is of equal value, and being different does not ever mean being better or worse than other people. "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." (Galatians 3:28). In the bible it says"so God created human being, making them be like himself. He created them male and female". This shows that every one is made in the image of God.
Christians believe it is important for people to love one another and treat each other well. The Bible treats the importance of love, and it is emphasized through the example of how Jesus treated others, as well as his teachings. For example, "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another . Christians believe that all humans were made in God's image. They believe thatGod gave humans a special status in life, and that every human is sacred and should be treated accordingly.

Racism- When you judge someone who has different skin color or their culture.

Christian might be against racism because christian beliefs that
everyone should be treated equally. 

Evidence?
"From one human being he created all race on earth and made them live throughout the whole earth." Act 17:26
"So there is no difference between Jews and Gentiles, between slave and free people, between men and women; you are all one in union with christ Jesus" Galatians 3:28


Why would they stand up for racism?

Christinans response to racism by being a rolemodel, they do this by encouring people to share their thoughts to other about not being racist and treating others races equally. Christians tell people that racism is wrong by reading bible verses and while praying.

Why would they do those things?

They would do this because God in the bible says, "love thy neighbour" therefore God disagrees with unequality. God made all of us in his image 
It also says "there is neither Jew nor Greek,slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." Therefore no matter what race, sex we are all equal on eyes of God, Jesus died for all of us not just Christians]]> 2016-02-09 10:38:55 UTC https://padlet.com/cjamison1/rovqhpxbcwms/wish/94002169 Racism cjamison1 https://padlet.com/cjamison1/rovqhpxbcwms/wish/94002263
What is Racism? 
Racism  is when someone is treated differently or unfairly just because of their race or culture.
What do Christians believe about racism?
Christians generally believe that racism is wrong, because it goes against Christian principles of equality and love. Racism does not fit in whith the Christian principle of love, because it involves treating people badly and not showing them love and respect. Racism is a form of inequality, so all of the Christian beliefs in the previous sections about equality can be applied to racism.

2)Why causes someone to be them?
3)What are the consequences of them?
4)What would a Christian think about them?

1) - prejudice- a belief or thought about a group of people based on stereotypes
 stereotype - a fixed idea about a particular type of people which is not always true
discrimination - actions based on prejudice thoughts; acting out a prejudice; putting your prejudice into action.

2) the things that cause people to do these acts includes the media, rumors, magazines, family, society, influence from friends etc.
an example of prejudice is "hating someone because of how they look" 
an example of stereotype is that "blonde people are stupid" - which is not true
and an example of discrimination is not letting a girl do a man job because of a stereotype that girls are not strong. so basically treating them differently because of a prejudice/discrimination.

3) consequences of someone being prejudice/stereotypical/discrimintion:
- society will be depressed
- people will not get out their houses as much
- they will be insecure themselves, because they might feel as if that others are judging them just as he/she is judging others
- mis trust
-violence
-depression

4)' we are all one in christ' 'we are made in god's image' these show that christians believe in equality adn that stereotes, prejudice adn dicrimination is totally wrong and that people should avoid it

  • For Women Priests;
a women can discuss issues with other women that would most likely be seen inappropriate if discussed with a male. 
Women are seen as more understanding.
  • Against;
People believe that women should remain silent and follow the male in all aspects, church and in home included. 
for example;
 "Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to enquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church. "
Corinthians 14:34-35

The women role was seen as a slave to the man as the man was seen better than the woman in many ways, the man was the bread winner and head of the household. 

"...Wives should submit to their Husbands in everything..." -Ephesians, 5-22-24

this Bible verse shows that the christians believe that men are better because the husband is head of the household as christ is the head of the church.

women should:
-Run the home
-raise the children 
-obey thier husbands

Men should:
-be in charge 
-provide for thier family
-love thier wives

these are what christians believe the roles are of the men and women.

St Paul explains his view that a man should have be the leader in a marriage,  and have authority over the woman, who should serve him. This does not mean  he can bully her, or expect her to do all the work - he must respect her, and  treat her with love just as Christ loves the church. She should do as he says,  and see him as authority.

Other Christians believe that these views are too old-fashioned for the modern  world. 

 The Bible was written long ago when society was very different. Men and women  should have equal opportunities at home and at work; a couple should share  care for the children and housework, and they should both be able to go out  to work if they want. If there is a disagreement, it does not always have to  be the man who has the final say. Many women no longer promise to obey their  husbands as part of their marriage vows. They argue that the bible teaches  that everyone is made:

“in the image of God.” 
Genesis 1:27

“There is neither Jew nor Greek,    slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”
St. Paul, Galatians 2:28

Paul says Christians should not look at differences        between people, but should recognise they are all united. It suggests Christians        should consider each  other as equals, e.g. at home and work.

Ecumenism- the idea that all christian denomination should be united together as one and forget their differences. 
Denomination- different religious group who follows christian. 

Christian agrees with ecumenism because Christian believe that denomination should come together to form only one christian group. There are evidence to prove this, for example, in the bible it says,
"You are all one in Christ" 
             Galatians 3
"I ask.. for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one"      John 17
Therefore christian should work together as one religion 

Inter Faith-  between faith. 

Christians believe that people from different religion should come together to form a real friendship that moves them to be peace-maker in the world because people are made be God, and are equally valuable.

A christian would make moral decisions using these different methods;

  • The Bible. To read Gods word, or for helpful information 
  • The community that they belong to. To see what others think, opinions, thoughts, beliefs.
  • The Church. If the church has opposing views or opinions that differ, making you rethink or find another way
  • The Priest. To speak to someone who knows what Gods opinions and thoughts are.
  • Their families. Do the people around them have a helpful view or points they are unaware of.
  • Themselves. Does their conscience agree?.
