Questions for reflection on the topic of “bad” Christians and Christian ethics:

What do you say to someone who says they dislike Christianity because of the crusades, witch hunts, residential schools, etc?
The Bible says both not to wear a garment made of two different kinds of fabric (Lev 19:19) and also love your enemy (Matt 5:44). How do you determine which words to follow?

What or Who influences your decisions in life?
In what way is the Bible “a lamp onto your feet” (Ps. 119:105)?

Questions for reflection on John 14:1-11

Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me”. Our culture highly values tolerance. How would you explain Jesus’ words to someone who sees them as intolerant?
How do you understand the diversity of religions? How do you explain their similarities? How do you explain their differences?
How can we find peace in the midst of contracting claims to truth?

Questions for reflection on John 1:1-18

Reflect on the words of Pope Benedict XVI (J. Ratzinger), "This God shows himself to us; he looks out from eternity into time and puts himself into relationship with us. We cannot define him in whatever way we like. He has 'defined' himself and stands now before us as our Lord, over us and in our midst.”
“….though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.” (John 1:10) Why do people not recognize him?
