Week 3 Discussion

DQ1 The
Christian worldview provides an explanation for human nature and the story of
the creation and fall (Gen. 1-3). A great deal of the suffering that people

nature accurate? Why or why not? If not, what is an alternative explanation?

DQ2 How
does the fall relate to tragedies like 9/11 and disasters such as the Tsunami

Week 6 Discussion

DQ1 Jesus
made many absolute statements such as the following:

John 14:6:
“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father
except through me” (NIV).

Matthew
7:13-14: “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is
the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the
gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it”
(NIV).

Interacting
with these statements, how would you answer someone accusing Christianity of
exclusivism (as defined in Chapter 8 of the textbook)?

DQ2 How
would you explain how a good, loving, and all-powerful God allows suffering and
evil in his creation? Cite a specific example of suffering and/or evil that you
have seen or experienced.
