討論の質問

以下は、授業の指導付き討論部分で使用するための提案された質問です。また、学生がさまざまな概念を理解するのを助けるための質問への提案された回答も含まれています。これらは討論を支援するために提供されており、「正しいまたは間違っている」回答とは見なされません。

1. Summarize the following three doctrines:
  • Original goodness (the ability to choose) – Man is created good and he is responsible and able to choose to do so.
  • The fall of man through sin – Man chose to disobey God that resulted in suffering, death and condemnation but retains the ability to choose right from wrong and to respond to God.
  • Reconciliation to God through Jesus Christ – God's plan to offer reconciliation through the death and resurrection of Jesus.
2. What is meant by the word "election" and how did God use election to reconcile us to Him?

Election means to choose. God chose to make a way of reconciliation to Him. He did so because of His love for us. He accomplished this through Jesus.

3. What is a false or erroneous teaching about election?

Many believe the Calvinistic teaching that God chooses to save some and not others. This belief stems in part from the teaching that all men are born guilty of sin and thus lack the ability to choose right or obey the gospel. God, therefore, is required to choose those who will be saved and those who will not.

4. Summarize the verses below that support that God has chosen Christ through whom he desires to save all men.

These verses point to Jesus as the one through whom we are saved. God saves all who choose to be in Christ.

5. Summarize the erroneous teaching of Predestination.

Predestination means knowledge of a result. Another Calvinist teaching that God knows in advance who He would choose to save and who He would condemn.

6. How does Romans 8:29 and Ephesians 1:5 explain the correct teaching on Predestination.

These verses point to God's predestination of the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus.

Through Jesus all can receive salvation if they obey the teachings of Jesus to be granted eternal salvation. We turn to God through Jesus and are saved by our response of faith to His offer of grace (which we are fully capable of doing – Acts 2:37-38).

7. How can you use this lesson to grow spiritually and help others come into a relationship with Jesus?

Scripture clearly teaches that God does not want any to be lost (I Timothy 2:3-4; II Peter 3:9). The plan that God put in place from the very beginning was that His Son Jesus would die for our sins thus bringing about the possibility of salvation. It is not through any action on our part that we earn it, only God's grace and our faith expressed in repentance and baptism (Acts 22:16) completes our salvation.
