I'm Etalie, I'm currently studying for my AS levels and will (hopefully) be posting revision entries on psychology and sociology.
I previously uploaded posts on GCSE revision. If it helps you then great! But I'm not an expert on anything AT ALL so don't rely on everything I post.
(Also, I'm not taking credit for any of the pictures or info here, it's all off google images, notes from BBC bitesize and CGP revision guides, textbooks etc)

(NB - GCSE: italics in the science subjects are things that are only in paper 2!)

RELIGION AND SOCIETY 

 1 - Rights and responsibilities

The Bible as a basis for making moral decisions - 
  • Moral decisions - where you have to decide what is the right or wrong thing to do 
Why many Christians use only the Bible -
  • The Bible is the word of God - God's guidance to humans 
  • Contains God's teachings on how Christians should behave (eg: The Decalogue - treatment of parents, stealing, murder, adultery etc.)
  • Contains teachings of Jesus on how to live - Son of God 
  • Contains letters from the leading disciples of Jesus on how Christians should behave - guided by Holy Spirit 
Why some Christians do not think the Bible is the most important guide for making moral decisions -
  •  Think Bible was written by humans inspired by God - many attitudes need to be changed for modern world (eg: St Paul's attitude to women and slaves) 
  • Need Church to tell them what the Bible means for today 
  • Would use own conscience or reason to decide whether to follow the Bible today
