15 - Ecclesiology Formed our Christian Life.

Knowing Ecclesiology is very important to our Christian life. Ecclesiology is the study of Church, it also shows us the importance of the Church to our lives. Ecclesiology tells us the history of where did the Church came from, it also guides us about how we respect the Church and how we truly believe in Church. Ecclesiology teaches us about the verses of a certain someone, it gives us the courage and the will to read and understand the Holy Bible and lastly, it shows greatness to the Kingdom of God.

Ecclesiology, in my own understanding, is a study of how you distinguish the Church as the source of our faith in Christ. We define it in to 2 definitions: Theology - studying the Church in Faith; Science - Church from within. We use this 2 definitions because some Catholics are convinced that all is true even if concrete evidence are not presented and some Catholics believe that all is true if it is shown or let's you visualize it by concrete evidence. We as Catholics needs to evaluate the presence of faith within us, we are the ones who will decide if what kind of faith are we practicing for our life. We study Ecclesiology because there are some hindrances that cause arguments due to some misunderstandings and misconceptions. We as a believer, needs to apprehend that faith from different religion or same religion must be respected because their practices are somehow came from their ancestors that is passed form generations to generations, that's what you called culture. Our ancestors believed that the second coming of Christ will come soon. This second coming of Christ is called "Parousia". This belief has been passed for generations and until today, our current generation is still waiting for it. Some people are scared for this event and others think that this is the chance to see the true God and the creator of all things. In my opinion, this event will really happen because God created us to believe in him and this is just a circle of life: we are born, we live, and we die in the hands of God.

Never forget that this is the study of our faith, it professes our knowledge with the presences of our real faith to Christ. Ecclesiology, for me, is the best blog I published because it is the center of my belief about myself and my belief to God.

  1. I learned a lot from this blog. It is indeed important for us to know and study the life and the origins of our faith. Theology will guide us for a better understanding and having a better knowledge about the morality on this world. Also, let us not take for granted the bible because it is one of the foundation of Christianity.
