Horry-Georgetown Technical College Comparative Religions Discussion – Description
Disscusion A Many Jews living in the time of Jesus believed they were living in the “end times.” And during almost every period of history, some people have believed the same thing. Could we be living in the end time now? How could the end happen? Hollywood has portrayed the end of the world in many ways—nuclear annihilation, invasions, volcanoes and earthquakes, comets or asteroids hitting the earth. Take time to reflect on how you and those around you would react if you knew the end was near. If you can picture this vividly enough, see if it changes some of the things you think are important and valuable.Discussion B In Paul’s understanding of grace in Christianity, one essentially gets a reward or unmerited gift when in fact one deserves exactly the opposite. Think of times when you “had it coming” for something you had done that was clearly wrong. Have there been times when the party wronged actually forgave you? What impact did it have on you? And what about the reverse situation? Feeling hurt and anger, somehow you were able to let go of the feelings and forgive instead of seeking “paybacks.” Was it easy or difficult? What finally did or did not enable you to forgive? Please be aware, I’m not asking you to relate specific situations. You may if you are comfortable doing so. I’m only asking about the idea of forgiveness.
