Questions – Chapter #9 1. What definition of
sin did you grow up with? What would be your definition of sin today? 2. Think about the
definition of sin in these terms: separation, self-centeredness,
unfaithfulness, infidelity, lack of trust, closed heart, hunger, idolatry,
blindness, bondage. How might these terms affect your personal
definition of sin? 3. If sin is defined as
“disobedience” then forgiveness would be the answer to our problem.
What words would you use to describe the solutions to the conditions listed
in question #2? 4. What do you think of
when you hear the word “salvation”? 5. What does the
question “Are you saved?” usually mean to the person asking that
question? How do you answer it? 6. How might
Christianity be more effective if it didn’t center around afterlife? 7. Borg says that
salvation is about life with God, life in the presence of God, now and
forever. What do you think of this statement? |
