Religious Studies A:2 (Christian Ethics) - Monday 23rd May

Is anyone else taking this paper?

How have you revised, I've basically made a word document for every chapter with the most important bits, if anyone needs it just let me know and I might just upload them for you!

Hey!
Yes, I'm taking this paper.
I was meant to do it last year, but sadly had to have an operation a few days before and was unable to do it.
I haven't been taught anything about the exam for a year now.
Majority of my class got A*s, and 2 As (which is huge pressure!!)
The problem seems to be that last year was the first run through the exam, therefore it was *very* easy. Apparently this tiime it's going to be a lot harder!!

I've written notes, just keep re-reading them. Not much more I can do really.
The sections I struggle on the most are Crime/Conflict and Environment!!
(if you have anything on these ^ it would be a HUGE help!) hehe.
What essay topics do you think will come up?
Last year was Marriage and Abortion & Euthanasia! x:smile:
I am really nervous. Although I feel i've done a fair bit of revision, i'm scared that i'll forget it or haven't learnt bits. Give me a random question to test me to see if we've been taught the same sort of things?
Here's one "If my wife doesn't find out, it's okay." Do you think adultery should be accepted?

I'm sitting this paper too! I don't think it's going to be exceedingly hard, although I have a feeling Fertility Treatment will be covered this time around. Do you guys do any other religious Ethics exams?

I'll be working on my Crime/Conflict as I haven't had a chance to revise it in full yet, once I've done that I'll PM you with the document!

Basically this is what I'd write, bearing in mind it was a 3/4 mark answer.

Some Christians believe adultery is wrong, as it is bringing a 3rd person into the relationship while breaking the vows made and promised during marriage. The Roman Catholic church especially disagrees with adultery, as it can cause deep sadness to the partner and stress.

Here I haven't yet used a Bible quote, but I'd just do that as a sort of summary while viewing one idea.

Other Christians believe adultery is wrong, but wont judge someone because of it, 'God gave free will' so people should be able to do what they want. Adultery may be committed if there is a disappointment in love-making with their married partner, which may not have been discovered if the couple agree with Chastity.

Personally, I think adultery should not be accepted, as stated it can cause stress/problems and is a form and sinning against the vows they made on their wedding day. If it is because some one has a disability, they should not be judged for this and should be loved and helped as anyone else 'Everyone is equal in belief of Christ Jesus' there is also a quote 'do not commit adultery' which is in the bible along with 'Sex outside of marriage is seen as a sin'. God told people to 'Avoid every kind of evil' and as this could be seen as evil, I don't think it should be accepted.




Here's a question for you;

What do Christians believe about Contraception, explore more than one point of view. (6 marks)

Our school does Jewish Ethics, which I'll be taking next year as they switch over to Christian Ethics.

I'm doing the exam on monday. Would you mind uploading your notes please? I haven't done any notes for it lol
Looking forward to Mondays exam. It shouldn't be overly difficult and as long as you can think of a valid point on both sides you're set on the 6 markers. Please could you upload your notes so I could just look over them and see if I can use them to add to my notes. Thanks!

Nice notes Moorzy, cheers!

I'm hoping Unit 5 is a little easier than Unit 4, as I have to do both.
