What are some of the Christian views of man?

Answer 1

Presuming the generic 'man' as in 'mankind' is referred to then Christians hold that humans are made in the image of God and, since they have sinned both individually and generically, mankind needed to be redeemed of 'bought back' to God. This task was undertaken by God Himself in the person of His Son, Jesus Christ, who became a man (male) in order to redeem all mankind.

Since man is made in God's image he is able to have a personal relation ship with God - this was one of the evil consequences of the fall into sin - that man lost his close personal relationship with God, which is now restored in those who accept Christ, through the Holy Spirit.

Not all lost people either accept that they are lost or realize it and so seek, in the Christian view, remedies which are not helpful in respect to their finding the only true 'peace that passes understanding.' These can include drugs and alcohol or any number of escapes from the fact that we all must die and eventually face judgment. (Hebrews 9 :27) .

Christians hold that man is much more than a highly involved animal. He stands alone, although the animals were also created by the same all-wise creator, yet not with a number of the capacities which man has. There are no discussions among the animals about who they are, nor no such highly developed language as man has.

Answer 2

"what are the different views on man?

What are you talking about?" WRONG!

there's a lot of different views on man. For example dualism: The belief "that man is not truly one, but truly two." In other words man is divided into two sides, good and evil. Another, Yin and Yang, the Chinese belief that there is equal good and bad. The belief that society is what corrupts man. the only correct view is the Biblical view.
