What are the main taboos of Christianity?

Every religion has its own taboos and commandments, and Christianity is no exception. However, Christianity does not have a set of complicated rules and regulations to restrict the life of believers, just some relatively routine regulations. What are the taboos and taboos in Christian culture? Let's take a look with Bian Xiao.

First of all, faith

The God that Christianity believes in is the sole master of the universe, and it is forbidden to worship idols other than God. When giving gifts to Christians, avoid having gods of other religions or totems worshipped by other nationalities. To respect Christian faith, don't swear to God, let alone make fun of God Jesus. Christianity has different doctrines according to different sects. In order to avoid hurting feelings unintentionally, some problems must be clarified. For example, priest and priest are different names for their clergy by Catholicism and Protestantism, and cannot be confused.

Second, treat marriage.

According to the description of the Garden of Eden in the Bible, Christianity believes that: first, marriage is sacred, because the origin of marriage is to create the Lord himself; Second, marriage should be monogamous, as evidenced by God's creation of Eve for Adam. Because marriage is sacred and requires monogamy, Christianity does not advocate divorce. According to Christian tradition, the premise of divorce is adultery. Another situation mentioned in the Bible that allows divorce is that one party leaves voluntarily because of different beliefs.

Third, don't eat blood.

The reason is that blood symbolizes life, which is an important content of ritual in the Old Testament. Moreover, the New Testament interprets the function of blood as the redemptive ability brought by Jesus Christ's bleeding and laying down his life on the cross. Since blood is so important, it is a biblical requirement for Christians not to eat blood to commemorate it.

Fortunetelling, fortune telling and astrology (astrology) are prohibited.

Because these superstitions have a fatalistic tendency besides believing in mysterious forces other than God to intervene in life. Christianity believes that everyone is loved by God and has the right to choose his own will. God will not impose his will on others, but people choose their own life path voluntarily, and everyone is responsible for their actions. This superstitious activity runs counter to this.

It is forbidden to worship idols other than God. When giving gifts to Christians, avoid having gods of other religions or totems worshipped by other nationalities. To respect Christian faith, don't swear to God, let alone make fun of God Jesus.

Five, fasting

Christians have the habit of fasting. Christianity stipulates that Christians only eat vegetarian dishes and fish every Friday and peaceful nights, and do not eat other meat. There is also a fast rule in Catholicism, that is, on Good Friday and the day before Christmas, only one full meal is eaten, and the other two meals can only be half full or less. Christians often pray before meals, for example, eating with Christians, and then clearing the dishes after Christians have prayed.

VI. Taboo 13 and Friday

They hate the number "13" and Friday. In the eyes of Christians, "13" and "Friday" are ominous symbols. If 13 and Friday happen to be the same day, they often stay indoors. Don't disturb them at these times.
