29
Q

Give an agreement and disagreement to this statement: ‘The Bible tells Christians exactly what will happen in the afterlife.’

A

Agreement:
There are descriptions of heaven and hell in the bible.
Jesus spoke of the afterlife.
The Bible is the ‘word of God’ so it is true/ accurate.

Disagreement:
Some say the descriptions are symbolic to teach us important things.
We cannot know what will happen until it happens.
The Bible was written at a time for a set of people to understand teachings - it wasn’t supposed to be a literal description of the afterlife.
The Bible is made up of different genres so it isn’t just a literal description of what will happen.

Original Sin - Adam and Eve failed to follow God’s instruction of not eating the fruit in the Garden of Eden, so they were punished and the punishment was to ensure suffering in life. This is known as the Fall.
Some Christians believe that due to the Fall, we have been born with the inclination to sin. This is called the original sin.

Personal Sin - This is when Christians use their free will to behave in a way that goes against God’s wishes.
