Why study “Christianity and Business”?.

Ahimsa (Non-Violence) and International Business. Jainism

The pillars of Christian Ethics can be found in the Ten Commandments, considered as a divine law, and the Sermon on the Mount.

Jesus said that was not enough to believe. Also, it was necessary to fulfill these Ten Commandments:

You shall love God above all things
You will not take the name of God in vain
Sanctify the holidays
Honor your father and your mother
Do not kill, do not murder. Principle of non-violence (Ahimsa)
You shall not commit impure acts
You shall not steal
Do not give false testimony
Not suffer impure thoughts or desires
Do not covet

Not fulfill these commandments is considered a serious sin. We could summarize the essence of these commandments as:

“Love God above all things and love your neighbor as yourself.”

As we can see; it is a version of the golden rule.

These Ten Commandments are the pillars of Christian Ethics.

The first three are virtually exclusive to the religions of the book, or even to Sikhs, but the remaining seven are ethical principles shared with the other higher religions, although not explicitly mentioned in each one of them.

This fundamental universal principle “You shall not kill” is shared by all the faiths, although as discussed in other religions it is possible extends to all animals and even plants (Jainism Concept). In our project of global ethics, Ahimsa or non-violence is one of the two fundamental principles.

In Christianity, “do not kill” involves the prohibition of murder, euthanasia, suicide, or the abortion. The “not to kill” prohibit all the forms of violence. The war is forbidden.

“He shall judge between the nations, and impose terms on many peoples.
They shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks;
One nation shall not raise the sword against another, nor shall they train for war again.” Canticle of Isaiah (2:2-5).

Christianity is a religion based on love, God is the owner of Human life, so the man cannot destroy God's work; it would be a sin.

Commandments related to Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Zoroastrianism, and Sikhism.

You shall love God above all else
You will not take the name of God in vain
