Doctrine
Confucianism combines a political theory and a theory of human nature to yield
a dao (tao) — a prescriptive doctrine or way. The political theory starts with a doctrine of
political authority based on the mandate of heaven. The legitimate ruler derives
authority from heaven's command. The ruler bears responsibility for the well-being of
the people and therefore for peace and order in the empire. Confucian philosophy
presupposes a view of human nature in which humans are essentially social animals
whose mode of social interaction is shaped by li (convention or ritual), which establishes
value distinctions and prescribes activities in response to those distinctions. Education
in li, or social rituals, is based on the natural behavioral propensity to imitate models.
Sages, or superior people — those who have mastered the li — are the models of
behavior from which the mass of people learn. Ideally, the ruler should himself be such
a model and should appoint only those who are models of de (te, or virtue) to positions
of prominence. People are naturally inclined to emulate virtuous models; hence a
hierarchy of merit results in widespread natural moral education.
Then, with practice, all people can in principle be like the sages, by acting in
accordance with li without conscious effort. At that point they have acquired ren (jen, or
humanity), the highest level of moral development; their natural inclinations are all in
harmony with dao (way). The world is at peace, order abounds, and the harmony
between the natural and the social sphere results in material well-being for everyone.
This is Confucius's utopian vision, which he regards as modeled on the practice of the
ancient sage kings

Confucianism, developed from thoughts by Confucius during the Spring and Autumn Period
(770-476BC), is an ethical and philosophical system which has become an influential part of
Chinese culture. As Sept 28 marked the 2,565th birth anniversary of Confucius, let's take a
look at Confucianism and its influence on people today.
Confucianism was first set up by Confucius (551–479BC) and later was developed by
philosophers, including Mencius, Dong Zhongshu, Wang Yangming and others.
Confucian ethics is characterized by the promotion of virtues, encompassed by the Five
Constants, or the Wuchang (五常): humanness, righteousness, proper rite, knowledge, and
integrity. Its gentleman, or junzi, philosophy has become the standard of many Chinese
people, especially intellectuals.

The religion had schisms and theological disputes that had as result four main branches: the Roman
Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox churches, Oriental Orthodoxy and Protestant churches.
Most of the first Christians were ethnically Jewish or Jewish proselytes. An early difficulty came from
non-Jewish converts. There was the question if they had to "become Jewish" before becoming
Christian. The decision of St. Peter, was that they did not, and the matter was further addressed with
the Council of Jerusalem.
The doctrines of the apostles brought the Early Church into conflict with some Jewish religious
authorities, and this eventually led to the martyrdom of SS. Stephen and James the Great and
expulsion from the synagogues. Thus, Christianity got an identity distinct from Judaism. The name
"Christian" (Greek Χριστιανός) was first used for the disciples in Antioch, as recorded in (Acts 11:26).
