Exam feedback - Good and Evil
a. Explain Christian beliefs about why there is evil in the world. (8 marks)
- Adam and Eve, original sin/a virus out in the open on all of our world, the devil - personal/other, psychological damage
- explain your ideas clearly. No opinions needed.
b. Explain how a Christian might find out the right way to behave. (7 marks)
- not enough to say 'read the Bible'... what is in it? Sermon on the Mount?
- just saying 10 commandments isn't adequate - how do they try to obey? Is there anything you can say about how in reality this sort of thing works... what are their motives? Sister Anne Brittain? Jesus? Sermon on the Mount?
- home influences, church community? church leaders?
- give us a sense of what the reality is like for people who really do believe and follow this... waffle and blagging are easy to spot
c. ‘Being happy is more important than being good.’ Do you agree? Give reasons to support your answer, and show that you have thought about different points of view. You must refer to Christianity in your answer. (5 marks)
- which is more important? Good or happy? Can you have both? What if you had to choose?
- what do Christians think? Any specific examples you could use? What about Jesus? Joseph? Sermon on the mount?
- examples and specifics are the key... give us grounds for a decent higher grade by showing you know...
- have you included all the ingredients?
- concluded a clear perspective?

Made in God's Image.
According to the end of Genesis chapter 1, the human race has something in common with God. We appear to be like Him - three ways I described in class were:
- being moral (having a sense of right and wrong)
- being creative (making things, art, music, which pencil case to buy, style of sport you play etc)
- relationships (love, kindness, showing mercy etc)
Your homework is to write down some good examples of these and bring them to class for a nice old chat about it.
