–     He must work of him who sent me, while it is day, night comes when no one can work.

–     Jesus said, I am the light of the world.

CHRISTIAN RELIGIOUS EDUCATION II

PART II

MARKING SCHEME.

 

1.a.   To be like the other nations surrounding them

–  Wanted a viable king instead of their unseen king.

–   Needed an army leader to inspire his people to rebel against their oppressors who had become more powerful and technologically more advanced than them.

–   Needed a king to lead them to war.

–      Samuel had grown old and his sons whom he had appointed to be judges for Israel did not walk his

ways / they had become corrupt and accepted bribes and prevented justice.

chariots

–   Will take their maidservants and menservants and best of their cattle for his own

–   Will become his slaves.

 

Significance.

1. Man looks at the outward appearance but God looks at the Inward appearance and that is why he

choose the youngest.

 

2. a.
3. Distribution of food: Greek speaking Jews (Hellemst)  complained that during

distribution of food their widows were being discriminated because they were not pure Jews.

   Solution:   Paul appointed seven deacons to be responsible for the distribution of food so that

    everybody was cartered for.

 

1. Leadership: Some claimed to be followers of Apollos who was a theologian, others followers

of Peter, others followed Paul because he was the founder of the church at Corrinth.

Paul was unhappy with these divisions and he adviced them to be united since the church is led by the power of the holy spirit.  It was not the cleverness of the preacher that mattered, but all preached  about Jesus who suffered and had been crucified. The personalities they rallied behind were messengers of God.  Christ died for everybody.  The should avoid dividing Christ into groups.

 

iii.   Idolatry:   Some Christians were eating meat offered to idols.  These were the ones who had strong

faith and knew idols were powerless such actions misled others who were weak in faith.  Paul that

enlightened Christians were free to buy and eat meat offered to idols but for the sake of weak

Christians they were to refrain from the practice lest they led the weak ones astray.

–    He advised Christians to keep away from idol worship so as to avoid being joined to the actual  idol.

 

iv  Spiritual gifts:  Some Christians thought speaking in tongues was great gift and started boasting about

it, this made other believers with other gifts to dry and  prove there was the best and this created

disunity among the Christians.

 

Solution:  Paul discouraged them from boasting and reminded them that all these gifts  come from God and were to be used for strengthening the church and the common good of believers.  He urged them to aspire for the greatest gift of all which is love.

 

1. Lords Supper:

Christians in corinth grouped themselves according to their status in society hence an abuse to the Lords supper.

–  The rich ate plenty of food and got drunk while the poor watched.  This made the Lords supper

loose its meaning and were concentrating more on social status.

–  Purpose of Lords supper was for all to come together as believers to share the Lords supper.

– It reminded them of great love Jesus had for them by dying on the cross.

       Solution:  They were to approach Lords supper with honour and respect in order to  avoid Gods

judgement.

1. Resurrection of the body: Some believed in resurrection of the body while others doubted it and it

created different feelings among them.

–     Paul confirmed the resurrection of the body as proved by the fact that Jesus  rose from the dead  and

appeared to his disciples.

 

2b.   Causes of disunity in the church today.

1. Leadership: Those who are power thirst want the top seats in the church for  recognition purposes   but not delivering the message.

Solution:    All should have a call to be leaders in the church and should not aspire to show off.

Need purity of their hearts.

1. Misuse of church funds: this can lead to disunity in church.

       Solution:    Church funds should be accounted for and tabled so that all believers could know

how their funds were used.

iii.  Backbiting:  Some leaders backbite others thinking that they are better preachers and have many followers.

       Solution:   What matters is your faith in Christian but not fame.  Since all are preaching the same

message.

1. Education: Those more educated than the others, tend to undermine those with lower education.  What matters is the message, no matter what tactics are used, hence the truth must be preached without misleading.    When pastors demand too much money from the congregation the freedom to offer what they want without dictating.

      Solution:  Should give the congregation the freedom to offer what they want without  dictating.

1. Incitement caused by other churches towards another about their undertakings.

      Solution:   Each church to set their own priorities and not compete with other churches.

1. Social status –  high class and low class those rich associating with the rich in the church and  the poor with the poor hence no unity.

      Solution:  all are equal and should mix freely since they are all in the church for one                  purpose.

vii.  Political influence.

3 a.  Causes of high incidences of divorce in our modern society.

–     Adultery and unfaithfulness / Extra marital affairs

–     Childlessness / impotence / infertility

–     Difficult and handicapped children

–     Separation due to work/ careers, may lead others to divorce their wives

–     Poor communication

–     Finances:  If there is no proper budgeting or open discussion about finances this can lead to

divorce.

–     Level of education when one has higher education than the others, defending on how they handle

it may lead to inferiority / superiority complex hence divorce.

–     Cultural differences.

–     Impotence.

(x)  Man struggled to reach the Creator with no success.

(xi) Death resulted.                                                       (Any 9×1 = 9 marks)

 

(b)  Jeremiah’s understanding of suffering:

• The theme of suffering starts with Jeremiah’s call whose mission was to deliver an unpleasant message to the people.
• Judah suffers because of her failure to live to the ideas of the covenant way of life or their rejection of Yahweh’s love for them.
• The home of David had to suffer because of the unfaithfulness of her custodians or rulers who did not portray the character of their forefather David.
• His life is a good example of an innocent person suffering because of the evils of his society. He suffered greatly even to the point of accusing God of betraying him.
• The massive defeat of Judah by foreigners which was God’s judgement was aimed at warning the people of their religious and moral failures.
• Jeremiah experienced a terrible conflict in himself almost wanting to give up his prophetic mission.

(vii) God shared his agony of suffering when his people rejected Him and persue evils.

(viii) The innocent could suffer not because of punishment from God as the Israelites believed but due to   existence of evil.

(Any 7×1 = 7 marks)

• Christian understanding of suffering:
• Jesus gave a good example of suffering and he taught his disciples suffering was part of their being followers of Christ. True followers are those who accept suffering.

• Peter says that it is through suffering that the faith of the believer is strengthened.
• Those who are not discouraged and endure suffering, will be made perfect.

(viii) When Christians suffer, they witness  to Christ in the world.

2. (a) The New Testament understanding of the death of Christ.:

• The death/the cross is the means by which the Kingdom of God is established.
• In the gospels, Jesus spoke with his disciples about his coming death which was doing the will of God.
• In John’s gospel, the death is the ‘hour’ when the son glorifies the father and the father glorifies the son.
• The blood shed on the cross is the blood that seals the New covenant.
• The death is a sacrifice that atones man’s sin/the pascal lamb which liberates man from the bondage of sin.
• Since God’s loved the world, he gave his only beloved son whose death is the sign of God’s love for sacrifice of Christ.
• It is the meeting point between the divine and the human – Jesus sealed the gap that separated

man with God – direct communication between man and God (e.g. the cutting of the temple

curtain).

(viii) The Roman soldier at the time of Jesus’ death confessed that Jesus was            surely the son of God.

(ix) The death symbolized the day of God’s judgement and the beginning of a new age (e.g. the criminals crucified with Jesus and the dark that covered the whole world at the time of his death).

(x)  Jesus is both the suffering servant Messiah and a universal Messiah.

• His death broke the hard hearts of men – the crowd that jeered at him was moved when Jesus died.
• It symbolized the victory of good over evil.
• The death was the source of boldness during the apostolic preaching since they believed that they

had already been saved and incorporated in the risen Lord.      (Any 10×1 = 10 marks)

• Death was one of the stages of life/a link between the physical and the spirit world.
• Death normally was not associated with natural happening but always has a religious or mystical explanation.
• It was not a very welcomed occurrence and especially when one died while young, it was feared.

• The death of an old person was taken as being called by God to join the spirit world.
• Death brought sadness to the bereaved and neighbours.
• It was a phenomena after which people had to be purified to ward off more deaths.
• The Destiny of the soul in African Traditional Religion and Christianity:
• Both believe that at death the soul separates with the body.
• Both African Traditional Religion and Christianity believe that there is transformation and change in state.
• In Christianity the soul goes to purgatory(Roman Catholicism) to wait for final judgement whereas in ATR it joins the spirit world.
• While Christians talk of final resurrection, this concept is lacking in African belief systems.
• In African Traditional societies the soul goes in the sky or underground, for Christians it goes to heaven.
• The living dead exercise powers over the physically living while such concept is not in
• Both traditions believe that the fate of the soul is determined by the life led by the individual when he was alive.

• In both traditions the spirits of the dead are nearer to God than those physically living. (Any 7×1 = 7 marks)

3. (a) Why there should be co-operation between the church and the state:

• The state and the church belong to one Nation hence they have similar goals – National goals.
• Both the state and the church meet at fund raisings for the church as well as in state ceremonies i.e. politicians attend church functions and Christians attend state functions.
• The state provides security for all people including Christians e.g. police are called upon to maintain order when we have functions in the church , while the church takes care of spiritual needs of the people.
• Today some Government officials hold important positions in the church while also some Christians hold important positions in the Government
• The church and the state co-operate in condemning immoral and criminal activities in the society.
• Both must co-operate because they serve the same community.
• Christianity teaches that all Authority comes from God and all Christians must obey state laws.

• Translation of the Bible in African languages contributed to the development of African Theology. (8×1 = 8 marks)

 

4. (a) The significance of Abraham’s call for him and his descendants:

• They are expected to emulate Abraham’s example (Heb. 8:9-19)
• God’s promise was not a personal reward to Abraham. It was part of a grand plan through which all mankind would benefit. (Gen. 12:3). He is the ancestor of Jesus who brought salvation to all men (Acts , Gal. 3:16, 29).
• The willingness of Abraham to leave his motherland and go to a strange land signified an act of faith.
• To Abraham’s unquestionable act of faith, the chosen people (Abraham’s descendants) owe their existence and destiny.
• Abraham ‘s descendants must note that physical descent from Abraham it not enough to guarantee them God’s blessing. (Mt. 3:9). (Any 4×2 = 8 marks)
• Relevance of God’s promises to Christians today:
• Abraham was promised that his descendants will be delivered from physical oppression while Christians are promised deliverance from spiritual oppression.
• While to Abraham circumcision was a physical sign of inner faith, baptism is the physical sign of inner faith.
• Just as Abraham was promised protection by God, so also are Christians assured of God’s protection.
• While Abraham was promised the land of Canaan, the Christians are promised eternal life/kingdom of God.
• Abraham was promised fame/greatness. The Christian leaders (some of them) are great.
• While Abraham was promised a heir, the Christians are expected to be heirs of the kingdom of God.
• Christians are beneficiaries of Abraham’s promise that all mankind will receive God’s blessing.
• As Abraham was promised that his descendants will be many in number Christians too expect to be many in number. (Any 8×1 = 8 marks)
• Lessons that Christians can learn from Abraham’s faith:
• They should be ready to accept God’s call as Abraham did.
• They should be prepared to inherit.
• They should be ready to accept they will always have God’s protection as Abraham believed.
• They should accept to be sent anywhere as Abraham did when he was to move from the known land to unknown land.
• They should be confident/trust in all God’s promises.
• As Abraham was essentially chosen by God because of his faith, so also are Christians chosen.
• They should have trust that God will always answer their prayers/their requests.
• They should have faith that God is not ready to destroy life but rather save it as he did to Isaac.
• They should be ready to sacrifice anything that God requires from them as Abraham was ready even to offer his son as a sacrifice.
• They accept that they will be great in serving God just as Abraham accepted to become great.

5. (a)   How modern technology and economy changed the Traditional African Attitude to work:

• Today there is change of roles. Duties which were done by man only are being done by women and also duties which were done by women only are also being done by men.
• One’s talents are not fully utilized because of job specialization.
• Today some people have machines to work for them as opposed to the idea that everyone was a worker in Traditional African societies.
• In modern society some people do not want to work but they want to earn a living through begging, stealing and playing games like gambling.
• Today people view work in terms of career, which one gets into after work as part and parcel of entire life process. That is work begun at youthful stage upto old age till one was too old to work.
• In traditional African communities, age, sex and inheritance determined the work one did but today the choice of the occupation one does is determined by the education he has received.
• In traditional African communities there was co-operation in work, but in modern society there is steep competition that may lead to rivalry.
• Today some people are doing unacceptable jobs like prostitution just to earn a living.
• In modern society work is meant to benefit an individual whilst in traditional African communities work benefited the entire community.
• Unemployment was unheard of in traditional African communities because everyone was employed but today it is a common problem.
• Today job inheritance is rare but in traditional African communities many jobs were inherited from parents e.g. blacksmith, craftsmanship.

(8×1 = 8 marks)

• Alcoholism affects one’s efficiency at work. Infact it reduces performance significantly.
• Alcoholism can easily lead one to embezzle public funds, which are entrusted to him.
• Alcoholics may have great risks in their career especially drivers, who cause accidents when they drive under the influence of alcohol.
