| The biggest difference of pre-Qin Confucian and the Christianity is whether the wickedness of human nature can be overcome by ourselves. Confucianism thinks that the wickedness of human nature can be overcome by ourselves, but Christianity thinks that person's crime doesn't enable the human to overcome own wickedness, and God must involve us. The difference of self-recovery and governed by others can be verified by four aspects: First, Person's order in universe. Christianity thinks that the human occupies the unification center——under god, but Pre-Qin Confucian lacks Consciousness of the unification center, and only involves relations between persons. Second, freedom and limitation of human nature. Christianity emphases on the freedom and the limitation of human nature, and the Confucianism emphases on the freedom of human nature only but lacks understanding about imitation of human nature, especially sage. Third, the permanency and temporary of human nature. Christianity thinks that the human has the eternal situation, but live in short world. Finally, the different understanding about human nature causes different the road to redeem, namely God redeems and self redeems.
