    Study Notes

    Christianity Key Beliefs: The Nature of God

    • Christianity is the dominant religion in Great Britain and has diverse denominations.
    • It's an Abrahamic and monotheistic religion, focusing on the life of Jesus Christ.
    • Other main Abrahamic religions include Judaism and Islam.
    • Christianity has numerous denominations, each with unique histories and traditions.
    • Examples include Roman Catholic, Orthodox, Pentecostal, and Presbyterian churches.
    • These denominations have differing styles of church services and varying membership numbers.
    • The Anglican Church is the most common denomination in the UK, followed by the Roman Catholic Church.
    • Despite differences, all denominations share a core belief in one God, following Jesus' teachings and the Bible.

    The Nature of God

    • Christians believe God has qualities like omnipotence, omnibenevolence, immanence, and transcendence.
    • Omnipotence: God's unlimited power, creating the universe and performing miracles, as described in the Bible.
    • Omnibenevolence: God's perfect goodness and love. This is demonstrated through God's love for humanity.
    • Immanence: God is present within creation. This means active involvement and awareness of the suffering in the world.
    • Transcendence: God is beyond human understanding and experience. God is above and outside of creation.
    • God's qualities are not possible for humans to fully achieve or grasp.
    • God creates humans in God's image, highlighting God's love and intention to create order.

    The Problem of Evil and Suffering

    • Evil and suffering exist in the world, leading to questions about God's existence, power and goodness.
    • Christians identify two types of evil: moral evil (choices of humans) and natural evil (events like disasters).
    • Christians believe that God is omnipotent (all-powerful). omnibenevolent (all-loving), and omniscient (all-knowing), so how does evil occur if God exists?
    • Possible explanations include:
      • Free will: Humans are free to choose good or evil, and suffering can result from these choices.
      • God's plan: Suffering may be part of a larger, divine plan that is beyond human comprehension.
      • Tests: Suffering can be a test of faith, demonstrating a person's resilience and devotion.
      • God's unknowable ways: some Christians may accept that God's ways of operation are more advanced than human comprehension.

    The Holy Trinity

    • The doctrine of the Trinity is the belief that God is one God, existing in three distinct persons: Father, Son (Jesus Christ), and Holy Spirit.

    • Important aspect of Christianity.

    • The Trinity is not explicitly stated in the New Testament, but it's a key tenet differentiating Christianity from other Abrahamic religions, such as Islam.

    • The Nicene Creed expresses the concept of the Trinity, drawing support from the unity of the Church, baptism and repentance.

    • All three persons are worshipped, but recognised as separate persons of the one God..
