Religion class discussion?

Question

I'm having a discussion class in my religion class and I was wondering if anyone had any topics that I could use? Thanks!

God Bless,
Elisha

Answer 1

The merits of suffering united to Jesus' suffering.

Answer 2

This may not necessarily be a religion question, but where was God when he created the Universe if there was nothing before?
Another question: Why are the Dead Sea Scrolls kept secret - what is in them that scares religious scholars enough to keep them out of the public eye?
Perhaps these questions are inappropriate for a religion class - but then again it could generate some healthy debate. Best Wishes.

Answer 3

Talk about the census that David took. 2 Samuel 24 says that God moved David to number the people of Israel. 1 Chronicles 21, in retelling the same story, says that Satan moved David to number the people of Israel. Kind of a glaring contradiction with no logical explanation (aside from the fact that the Jews has been introduced to the dualism of Zoroastrianism during the Babylonian Exile in the period between which these 2 different books were written.)

Answer 4

Explain why god thought it necessary for Joshua to kill every living thing while conquering the promised land and how that's not genocide

Answer 5

sure, I did, and that i nevertheless own the textbook, as I evaluate it a sacrilege to remove a e book, even if there is no longer a danger in hell i will ever crack the binding on it back. I undergo in options the kind replaced into really exciting, yet i do not remember the instructor, nor what he/she regarded like. i'm particular that I took it to fulfill an optional requirement, and that it replaced into an quite ordinary A.

Answer 6

How about 1 Timothy 2:11

You can discus whether Jesus would want you to be having the discussion or not.

Answer 7

How much trouble do you want to get into? Study up on Calvinistic, Reformed thought, then introduce the Biblical ideas of election, limited atonement, total depravity of man, and irresistible grace.
that will get them talking. Here are some sights for your research:
