How does the textbook interpret Matthew 18:21-35 and the Christian's
ability to forgive others?
(Ans- There is a strong claim that those who do not forgive will not be
forgiven; however, in this parable, Jesus illustrated the cost of forgiveness
, in the context of being released from financial debt. In the case of this
parable, it literally cost the person offering forgiveness monetarily. It costs
something because one has to commit to the notion that a person who is
dragging him or her down, as it were, is more important than any kind of
self-preservation.
Describe the Christian view of salvation and how it differs from the views of
other religions.
(Ans- The Christian view of salvation focuses on the idea that we must
have faith in order to truly be saved, we cannot attain salvation through our
good works as they will never truly be enough to get us to heaven. This
view differs greatly from the views of other religions in that almost all other
religions say that good works are required for salvation in some way, they
do not believe that faith is good enough for one to be saved.
