Christian and Muslim Beliefs About Life After Death Homework


Homework:

“Belief in an afterlife makes no difference to how you live your life.” 

a) Do you agree? Give reasons for your answer (3) 

b) Give reasons why some people might disagree with you. (3)


This question is asking what YOU think but you must back up what you say with reasons and explain them as fully as possible. If you click on the title there are some revision notes that may help you on Christian and Muslim beliefs.


Here are some thoughts that may help, you will have to decide if they arguments for or against.:


  • Lots of people say they are Christians or Muslims but behave no better or worse than anyone else.
  • Many Christians and Muslims believe they will be punished when they die if they do bad things.
  • Many Christians and Muslims believe they will be rewarded in heaven if they do good things and follow their religion's teachings.
  • Some people believe they will become ghosts or spirits no matter how you behave in this life.
The video below was made by RS students - I don't like all of the images but it is a good summary of this unit.
