ways in which the Christian liturgy is celebrated, symbolic and sacramental.
However, practicing the deeds that God and Christ taught with faith is a
mode of reality in which moral commitment is demanded, which will vary depending on the
perspective from which Christianity is professed.

Judeo-Christian moral
The premise corresponding to Christian morality from its Jewish perspective begins after

Christian and Jewish morality is based on the Bible; in that sense, it is a

understanding. For the Jews, the events refer to the book of Exodus and that of Sinai. In
in that sense, this expresses the words that the children of Israel must say, for which the kingdom and the
nation must be holy. (Exodus 19–6)
Likewise, it refers to the self-understanding that Christians must have to make of their
morality as an act of redemption before Christ, since he, once crucified, gave his life,
and he will live for each of us. (Galatians 2–20).
This self-understanding that is reflected here must be interpreted subtly so as not to
fall into arrogance or presumption, since the fact that Christ lives in each one is not
a privilege, but rather a well-understood obligation.
In addition to self-understanding, understood as a common construction of those

ability to interact with everyone, respecting the plurality of characters.
 The Judeo-Christian moral reads the Bible through a completely different lens. For its reading
the biblical is Hebrew and is carried out after the liturgy of the Talmud, while Christians adhere to a
Hebrew origin Bible, which they dedicate and refer to under the name of Old Testament.
For their morality, Christians consider the prophets, while the Jews do
they focus on Leviticus. Therefore, a highly committed ethical monotheism is practiced.

Christian Social Morality

As far as Christian social morality is concerned, its teachings do not

apply oneself according to the teachings of Christ with the purpose of improving society and its culture,
always rooted in the nature of the human being. Thus, Christian morality is framed

Christian Ethics and Morality

In response to Christian ethics and morality, it is necessary to begin by specifying
that each of these elements, although closely related, has meanings
totally different. Now, morality refers to a series of elements, such as norms,
behaviors, laws and customs, to which, as an idea, a society behaves,
That is to say, it will determine the way individuals are admitted.
Thus, ethics corresponds to a way of reflecting on that type of
behaviors referred to as moral that are carried out by the set of people. Therefore, as
every element that involves the principle of reflection will then raise what is right and
that which is completely contrary, that is to say what is wrong ethically and morally.
There are those who believe that the term Christian morality imposes force, repression, authority,
punishment and also sin, which is why it is considered that when referring to Christian ethics it allows for the

Critique
The reference to Christian morality has repeatedly been the subject of a series of
critiques, which allow each and every doctrine reflected in the Bible, as well as
Regarding the teachings and doctrines of God the Father and Christ Jesus, let them in.
in controversy, regarding the reliability and accuracy with which these have been presented before the
humanity. We recommend reading about Christian Temples.
The most eloquent critic is Frederick Nietzsche. He himself conducts a critique aimed at
the morality referred to in the way morality is seen as a judgment made by a
value about life, which is supposedly imposed and taught in a decaying system,
completely nihilistic and in negative conjecture, opposed to life.
It is paradoxical that acts are justified in the name of God and not in
responsibility of man.
If Christian morality has a basic foundation which is freedom, some
theologians under the Christian framework consider that only the moral order of the world is
who makes man a free and responsible being.
However, in this way they are presented, they will infect the individual in the
becoming through punishment and feelings of guilt, since to carry out these acts one
He must be morally capable, that is to say, free.
In this sense, Nietzsche indicates that man is responsible, the human being has the
possibility of sinning because the world has made each of the elements themselves
define them as guilty. This executioner of Christianity also indicates that Christian morality must be
to be criticized so that it truly serves to guide the history of each human being.
In addition to that, the Christian morality is criticized by this author who is mentioned, for their
strong postulate that points to the external transcendence of human actions. An idea
what it establishes is reflected in the resentment towards the lifestyles that man of
must live in a mandatory way, some laws that have not been created by humans, but generated
by someone outside the knowledge of life and the world.
For Nietzsche in his critical role against Christian morality and his philosophy accepted, the sense
of the freedom of men, but this must be rationally aware without being blamed
for everything, just as Christianity replicates it. If man does something that, for Christianity, is
badly, they are not allowed to become aware of their actions, but rather they are threatened with punishment
Well, God has seen all that he has done.
So it concludes that guilt and the guilt of ideas are merely elements
narrow and rigid within what corresponds to Christianity. There are no sins and evils, more
that those ideas outside of what Christianity has proposed.

Moral Theology
Taking into consideration Christian morality, the term moral theology is
corresponding after the use that the Roman Catholic Church has to describe the different
studies related to God.
These are oriented towards understanding the perspective of the ways in which man
he must live, so that he can carry God in his soul, and presence as much as also
act in favor of the Father.
In juxtaposition to what theology as a dogma refers to, in the sense of teaching and
radical doctrine of the high Catholic Apostolic and Roman Church, theology in its moral role allows

God.
Therefore, the purpose referred to by moral theology focuses on the ways how
Man must live. We recommend reading about Esoteric Christianity.
 Moral theology will then study the characteristic elements that man must
to possess in order to walk in the life of God. These then correspond to the fact of being free,
aware, as well as loving and responsible so that one can be and do the law of God.
These compendiums allow the individual to make the right decisions, as well as
to treat everyday life in accordance with what the religious dogma has established.
It is worth noting that moral theology refers to the approach to the great
questions that result in life, as well as intends to define how one should really live a
Christian, with Christian morals and Christian ethics.
In addition to that, it makes a strong critique of each and every method that can...

What is good and evil, and also comment on sin.
