1. Is there Christian morality? How do you prove it?
 Yes, there is Christian morality. Christian morality consists of living one’s
life with guidance and inspiration from the Christian scriptures and
traditions. Christian moral life is the awareness that every person bears
the dignity of being made in the image of God that he has given us an
immortal soul and through the gifts of intelligence and reason enables us
to understand the order of things established in his creation. God has also
given us a free will to seek and love what is true, good and beautiful.
Sadly, because of the Fall, we also suffer the impact of Original Sin, which
darkens our minds, weakens our wills, and inclines us to sin. These beliefs
proves that there is Christian morality.
2. How do you prove that Jesus' ethics is radical?
 Jesus’ ethics is radical and this is proven by the 12 radical teachings of
Jesus. Jesus ethics is radical for he is a loving, merciful, caring, non-
violent, fair, self-sacrificing and just. The ethics of Jesus constitute not
only a standing reproach of human sin and moral weakness but also a
vivid picture od the kind of people His followers should and can be.
3. How do you explain the contention that Jesus ethics demands sacrifice
and suffering?
 Jesus ethics does not demands sacrifice and suffering because he was
the ultimate sacrifice. He does not require suffering, he just says that there
will be suffering because the world will hate us because the world hates
him but Jesus explains that the suffering of this world is nothing compared
to the eternal joy that awaits the believer in heaven and in the new earth.
4. How did St. Augustine view evil? Do you agree with him?
 St. Augustine rejected the idea that evil exists in itself, instead regarding it
as a corruption of goodness, caused by humanity’s abuse of free will.
Augustine believed in the existence of a physical Hell as a punishment for
sin, but argued that those who choose to accept the salvation of Jesus
Christ will go to Heaven. He believed that the existence of goodness
allows evil to exist, through the fault of humans. And yes I agree with him.
5. Is there conscience? How it is related to Eternal and Moral Law?
 Yes there is conscience, it is the part of our personality that helps us
determine between right and wrong and keeps us from acting upon our
most basic urges and desires. It is what makes us feel guilty when you do
something kind. Your conscience is the moral basic that helps guide
prosocial behavior and leads you to behave in socially acceptable and
even altruistic ways. And it is related to Eternal and Moral law for
conscience gives us direct access to moral principles and because of
conscience we become aware of our deeply held eternal and moral
 principles, we are motivated to act upon them, and we assess our
character, our behavior and ultimately our self against those principles.
6. What have these laws to do with morality?
 These laws reflects on human's moral values. This is regarded as a liberal
approach between law and morality, in other words the state should not
make any laws against an individual unless it will cause harm to another.
