Questions About Christianity

The students are writing fascinating questions about Christianity. Here are some examples...


Chaney: Where would a Christian feel most close to God?

The students of Core 3 offered some possible answers to Chaney's question...
- Chapin: Being with family or loved ones.
- Timmy: In a church.
- Porter: In a place of pilgrimage -- places that are difficult to reach are more special.
- Noah: In a cathedral.
- Caroline: With other Christians (perhaps in a church, or perhaps elsewhere).
- Emily: In Bethlehem.
- Jayden: In any place that Jesus visited, or in a place with other Christians, talking about God's greatness.

Ari and Keira: Which denomination of Christianity is the most popular? Why did Christians split into different denominations?

Grace W. and Juliet: How did Joseph feel about being Jesus's father? Was he jealous that his son's other father was God, or did he feel honored?

Emily: Why did God make the Earth, if we are going to die? Is it because we need to know suffering and try to be nice people, until going to Heaven?

Carter K.: Was there anyone else who claimed to be the messiah before Jesus? If so, who were they and why did no one believe them?

Kate C. and Oscar: If Jesus knew he was going to die, why didn't he try to stop it? If he could perform miracles, why didn't he use a miracle when he was on the cross?

Keira, Axel, and Daniel: Why did one of Jesus's disciples (Judas) betray Jesus? Did he think it would gain him fame or wealth?

Caroline: How did Jesus know that someone was going to betray him, and how did he feel about it? Was he disappointed, or did he feel like it was his destiny?

Olivia T. and Katie: Is there going to be another messiah? Could there be another person like Jesus now? If yes, when he/she dies, will they become famous for starting a religion? (In response to Olivia and Katie's question, here is an interesting article in National Geographic about five men who claim to be the second coming of Jesus)

Carson: If God created everything, then who created God?
