Is It Easier Being A Disciple In Todays World Than At The Time Of Jesus Flashcards
1)
disciple easier time of Jesus coz he was there to direct them. harder for disciples today to follow because he isn’t physically here and could cause question his existence.
2)
many wars caused because religion today, because of your beliefs could be putting others and yourself danger. harder for Christians today modern weapons more effective than at the time of Jesus + can cause mass destruction.
3)
we have many more distractions than at the time of J. Such as technology, technology has become essential part of a modern day persons life + if you had to give it up to follow Jesus it would be very challenging.
4)
disagree saying Jesus’ time risk persecution because of your beliefs. Crucifixion common way of putting people to death and could have quite easily happened to a disciple.
5)
Discrimination would have been a common issue for a disciple in the time of Jesus, it could also happen to a modern day disciple but it is less of an issue because it is not correct/allowed in today’s society.
6)
Another reason for someone to disagree with me would be that it would have been hard for the disciples to except the fact that they didn’t have enough faith to perform miracles. This would have been hard because they would question why they were following Jesus if they didn’t have enough faith. It would be harder for disciples I’m the time of Jesus because he would tell them.
