  4. Mind map your thoughts around the following two set of questions on Heaven and Hell Heaven Hell

  5. Heaven • If there is a heaven, what would you want it to be like? • Would you want to be able to see what goes on in the world after your death? • Would you want to have the opportunity to contact the living if you were in the Afterlife? • What would people have to do in their earthly lives to make heaven a fair reward? • Do you think you would ever get bored with heaven?

  6. Hell • If there is a hell, what would you imagine it to be like? Would it have to be the worst place imaginable? • What would people have to do in their earthly lives to make eternal hell a fair punishment? • Do you think belief in the existence of hell is compatible with belief in a perfect, loving God? • Do you think hell might get boring after a while, so that the punishment stopped having any effect? • What might the point of eternal punishment be? • Do you think God would know who was going to heaven and who was going to hell, before they were even born?

  7. N. T. Wright (Christian) on the Afterlife The following clips are from the former Bishop of Durham N. T. Wright. We will watch a few of these and discuss what is said. • Clouds and harps, is that the real Heaven? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRMMelo5o5c&feature=related • What will we do in heaven? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIUc4Kng1SQ&feature=endscreen&NR=1 • Where is Hell located? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=8Zk31Uc_pCY • What happens after you die? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQC--9XXpaw&feature=related • What is purgatory? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qoo7rGhfsMw&feature=related

  8. Life after death: what are Christianity’s criteria for getting into heaven? • Look up the following passages, and make a note of: • The main point that is being made in the passage. • A key phrase you could use as a quotation. • Matthew 19: 16-30 • Matthew 25:31-46 • Luke 13:22-28 • John 3:16-19 • Romans 10:9-13 • Titus 3:3-7 • 1 John 4:17-21 • What are the key features of Christian teaching about who will have eternal life in heaven? • Is the teaching consistent?

  9. Still to do – to get everything done before Easter…. • Hindu and Buddhist views of reincarnation • Disembodied existence – Swinburne, HH Price • The assessment lesson will be 22nd or 23rd March (I haven’t decided yet. It will definitely be in that week though.) • We may look at Near Death experiences if there is time.
