------------------------------------------------QUESTIONS START HERE---------------------------------------------------

1. Based on the story of Jonah, how would you state the core teaching or general principle that should be
followed by the Jews? Use the story to prove your answer.

2. Can the existence of God, our Christian God, be proven by any other means except by having faith?

3. Explain how Islam was founded in only five sentences. No need to explain.

4. Kaladin is a Jew, and is deeply dedicated to the teachings of Abraham and Moses. He lives in the
Philippines and loves to share wonderful stories of the prophets to little children in his barangay. He is
friends with other jews in the community, and they regularly meet to fulfill their duties to God under their
religion.

One day, Dalinar, his best friend, shared with their congregation that he wanted to migrate to
Israel/Palestine in order to live in the promised land given to them by God in the Old Testament Days.
he also invited the others jews to join him in his mission to go back to their Ancient Land, and
permanently lived there, justifying that their jewish heritage entitles them residence there. He added
that if the Muslims there would reject him, he would fight them, violently, until the Jews reclaim the land
for themselves. Kaladin objected to this suggestion, stating that they are happy as they are in the
 Philippines. He said that worshipping God is not about the place of worship, but really is about the
people who love and follow God.

If you were a Zionist Jew, who would you agree with? Would Herzl agree with Kaladin or Dalinar?

5. It is an unfortunate fact in our contemporary period that muslims are usually discriminated by
Christians, primarily due to the belief’s association with Extremism and Terrorism. However, it is true
that majority international terrorist groups are usually motivated by Islamic doctrine. Explain why some
Muslims are inclined towards acts of violence and terrorism in order to support their religion.

6. Using the dimensions of religion provided for by Ninian Smart, give at least one similarity of Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam for EACH dimension. Hence, you should have seven answers in this item.

7. Write a Christian Prayer for these difficult times due to the COVID19 pandemic. Obviously, there is no
need to explain your answer here.
