Dear Elijah,
Was it Love or not that Christ said "only those who are born again will inherit the Kingdom of God"
If he said any person with any belief will inherit the Kingdom - and it is not true---wouldn't that be cruel.
That's what false religions are teaching you - and you know it cannot be LOVE.

For people to think for themselves. We all of us have something built in us that tells us right from wrong without having it dictated to us by church or man.

1 - importance of serious bible study. Know what you're talking about and separate bible from man's doctrine. Study accurate bible translations, do a study of the meaning of the original language. Understand their context.
2 - live out your faith and be a light to the world. James would be the suitable study here. Understand loving God and your neighbor. Get out of your pew and get into your community.
3 - Understand that the church is not building or traditions. It is the body of christ, a living organism. Understand this and you become a better christian. As a living organism every part of the body is of equal importance. It all shouldn't rest on one organ to do the work of the entire body. Step outside of the denominational box and into the world of christianity as a whole person.
4 - The importance of prayer and meditation. The importance of faith. Without faith the world will chew you up and spit you out. How to work your faith in practical ways.
5 - Understand forgiveness. Understand that judgement is for God and not man. Understand what the fruits of the spirit are. Understand the spiritual gifts God has given you and use them.
Study those 5 concepts and you will do well.

I would start by teaching who God is(spirit) and what He represents(love) for us all: how the world came into exsistance,I have always thought people really dont know what the words in the bible mean gospel(good news)Christ(the annointed,His annointing)annointed meaning (rubbed on or rubbed in)understanding that the words that come from your mouth are very dangerous(sword of the spirit) and what these effects cause there is so much in the bible I do believe if people just had knowledge of(My people die from lack of knowledge)they would see more clearly that Jesus loves us and died for us and would be happy to be a soldier in the army of the Lord,that when you accept Jesus and His word you are then an ambassador in His kingdom with never another worry He takes care of everything for you

.
If I were teaching a class I suppose I would divide it this way :
1) The inerrancy of the Bible,
2) The Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes, - most kids know these so these would just be a recap and one of the easier ones,
3) The Romans Road to Salvation,and
4) -5) How to Live a Christian Life.

The factors you made, and a similar movements from human beings like "s" are what pushed me faraway from church. As a youngster i became already a.properly respected member of my church, till the congregation had really a lot an all out brawl over some thing stupid. I took a lengthy puzzling seem at what the bible became holding, sure is does have its united statesbesides the undeniable fact that it also has many many stuff that arent ideal. i have not been back to church in years, i do not worship on my own, yet i do stay my existence with morals. opposite to beliefs, us atheist are literally not hate filled, devil worshipping demons, maximum are sturdy human beings which have morals in there lives to boot. Stick round on right here, maximum (no longer all) of tje hatred does come from the religius bible thumping christians, because they have had that hatred taught to them from the bible.

Bible Reading PlanReading/Memorzing the Bible... the best lessons start with reading and knowing God's word. Don't focus on lots of books about the Bible, focus on the Bible..
How to share your testimony. Don't tell, but practice writing and telling others your testimony. Make it short and sweet. Don't just tell how you became a Christian, tell people WHY you became a Christian.
Prayer is a good subject, but hard to teach. It's better just to pray than talk about prayer.

The number one lesson would be on the reliability and authority and inerrancy of the Word of God...that has to be the foundation upon which all else is built.

There is so much deception prevailent in school and society...like evolution , cults , and intolerant anti-Bible liberals, it is of great neccesity to know why you believe the Scripture ...and why it is important.

I've been a Christian for a while, but I still have a long way to go. I wanted to answer your question because there are simple truths I have recently truly discovered.
This is our reason for existing, the purpose of life. This keeps you from sinning--even the "small sins". Strive for communion with God. Remind yourself. Wake up.
Lesson 1
The First Commandment
Matthew 22:36-38
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Mark 12:30
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
Luke 10:27
And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
Many more verses:
Deuteronomy 6:5,

Lesson 2-5
Understand why they believe what they believe. Is the Bible really God's word? People will ask them questions about their beliefs and many Christians don't have a solid foundation.

Teach them the love of God, love for God, love for their friends and family, love of their enemies and love for themselves. Isn't that the basic premise of Christ's preachings? Try using newspaper articles, the internet, local situations, allow them to open up about their views. It is the best subject I would suggest.

I can not think of 5 now, but one I would say is how to have Love and Compass for people, even if they are not a Christan.
