Consider: Why do Christians believe in God? What do they believe?

God is… LovingChristians believe that God

cares deeply for the creatures he has made. This is shown by the name used for God – Father.

Jesus used the term constantly.

God is… JudgeThe bible and

Qur’an is very clear that at the end of time everyone will be judged on their actions.

God will judge whether they are to go to heaven or hell.

God is… Omniscient (all

knowing)God knows the past,

present and future. He knows what

people are going to do before they do it!

God is….Omnipotent (all

powerful)

Nothing is beyond the control of god. A miracle is an event that seems to go beyond the laws of science and there are many miracles in the holy books.

God is…. The supreme

being

There is no one greater than God. God is behind, beyond and above everything else.

God is creator… Muslims and

Christians believe that God created everything – their creation stories are very similar.

They believe the universe God has created is perfect.

Key Question God cannot be real as there is too

much suffering in the world.

Agree Disagree

Write your name on a post-it and stick your post-it where your opinion lies!

In your books write a paragraph to justify your opinion!

From what you’ve heard give the counter argument!

If God was all of these things then there would be no suffering in the world!

Help to remember!!! Make up a mnemonic

to help you remember the different beliefs held about God.

For example:

2 omnis and a supreme spirit creates loving judges!!
