I have to respond to someone else’s response to these questions:

1) In the United States today, which have the greater voice and the greater impact, Conservative or Liberal Christians?

2) What new insight did you get from the material on the Book of Revelation?

3) What is the best insight about Christianity that you got from this class?

Their responses:
1) I think that both Conservative and Liberal Christians have equal power of voice and impact but in different ways. Conservative Christians are known for being very traditional. Their beliefs and views are held close to them and they are able to spread their traditional values through their offsprings. They share their beliefs to the public of what God tells them is right and wrong, and it can have an influence on the government (e.g whether abortions should be legal or not). Liberal Christians, however, don’t follow the traditional values of a Conservative Christian. But they still follow the word of God, in that he has given them free will to make their own choices in life. like God, they are more towards the side of accepting people and letting them choose the type of life they want to live without any judgment.

2. I really liked how it was referred to as the “apocalypse” of John. But the word “apocalypse” is actually used in a positive term, where John is going to reveal something extraordinary to the readers. When you first think of the words apocalypse, you normally think that something is going to happen.

3. The best insight of Christianity that I got from this class was hearing different people’s perspectives about their beliefs in Christianity, and the controversy between different topics. It was interesting to know that many people view God in a different way. For example, some view him as a puppeteer, while others view him as a punisher.
