In two very tight lessons we have:
1. Handed out folders (yay!).
2. Given you an idea of where things are going in the two years.
3. Shown you the text book which is worth asking for as a birthday/christmas/halloween/tooth-fairy/whatever present.
4. Shown you that the world of beliefs about God is wider than you might have previously thought (3 massive worldviews involving loads of interior ones).
5. Shown you where lots of the different major religions reside on the map.
6. Begun to tackle some important words for describing God.
Homework:
1. Read up on Worldviews on this site
2. Aim to learn most of the terms from the TOMPIPI/TOOOsHd sections.

Unit 5: Good and Evil - Year 10 homework
11/09/07 17:29
Having listened to the majority of the difficult
interview, please go away and write a reflection on
how you would have responded to the same situation.
Some of the points from the lesson to consider:
1. This is a real case study which is useful to your grasp of this unit.
2. If God is all-knowing/all-powerful* then does that mean that He is unloving?
3. If God is all-loving, does that mean that He isn't in control?
4. Is the Christian worldview easy to understand when it says that God is both loving and powerful...? How hard is it to reconcile this statement in the face of such suffering?
*omniscient/omnipotent remember?

Worldviews Introduction Homework
You guessed it folks, the first serious homework of
the term is to write about what experiences you have
had with religion.
Try to explain what you think of religion as well.
Are there any other views of religion that you might want to include? Perhaps you could chat to some family or friends about their views.

John 13
In case you were stuck or couldn't remember the assembly points, here they are:
1. What does 'consideration always' actually mean if we take it seriously?
- according to Jesus in John 13, it means serving others humbly and not taking an arrogant, snobbish position.
2. What do you think this means in terms of how you relate to others at school? How far would you go to do it?
- I think it doesn't stop with just friends, it goes further to people who (like Judas to Jesus) might even be horrible to you.
- it also doesn't stop at the school gate... it hopefully means being a humble servant to people who normally you might look down on.
3. There is a promise from Jesus: 'you will blessed if you do these things'.
4. How does one live up to this? How did Jesus?
The clue I mentioned is in verse 3 of John chapter 13. Here is a link to the actual text in case you were interested in trying to work it out for yourself. Come and chat if it seems complicated.
