1. Q: What are 3 main goals of Christianity? What is this religion all about?
A: Christianity is a monotheistic religion which teaches that we should love each other and take
care of Gods creation. Gods creation is the environment, its animals, and humans. One of the
most important goals of Christianity is to be in a restored relationship with God and believe Jesus
is the Savior and Son of God. We should love God with all our hearts, minds, and strength.
2. Q: How is your religion viewed in todays society? Does this affect you?
A: A lot of people have mixed emotions about Christianity. They dont really understand it. A
sensitive topic is the legalization of gay marriage. Christian faith doesnt particularly support
this, so people think Christianity is offensive and intolerant of other beliefs. This doesnt just
apply to the topic of homosexuality. Generally, people think that religious people believe their
religion is the only correct way and that we believe all other belief systems are wrong. Our
beliefs can contradict with the things going on in the world. This does not and should not affect
us. We should firmly follow Gods laws and teachings.

San 3
Jesus to die in order to save us from our sins. The Trinity is Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit
rolled into one. God made us, Jesus saved us, and the Holy Spirit guides us.
San 4
A: Christianity teaches that the purpose of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him. We are also
here to care for his creation, which includes humanity.
San 5
A: The sacred writing of Christianity is the Bible. It was given by God and written by His
prophets. Communion and baptism are 2 rituals. Communion symbolizes a way to remember
Jesuss death and resurrection for our sins by consuming the body and blood of Christ. Baptism
represents what happens inside a believers heart when they trust God as their Savior.
17. Q: Are there any celebrations that have religious meaning to Christians?
A: Christmas and Easter are major holidays. Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus. Easter
celebrates the resurrection of Jesus. Without Jesus being born and sent by God, we would not
have been saved from our sins. Without Jesus rising from the dead, his death would have been
meaningless. We wouldnt really have been saved.
18. Q: What is something that you would like Christianity to accomplish in the future?
A: I would like Christianity to accomplish peace between all. I also want it to create more
God focused conversations. If we all follow Gods commands, the world would be a much more
peaceful and kind place. Having God focused conversations would also enable more people to
hear the good news of Jesus Christ.
