    What is in human nature that God himself could not take away, that is why He allows suffering to enter human lives?

    Explanation
    The answer is freedom or free will because it is believed that God has given humans the ability to make choices and decisions on their own. This freedom is an inherent part of human nature that even God cannot take away. Therefore, when suffering enters human lives, it is a consequence of the choices made by individuals exercising their free will.

    It is the root cause of suffering according to Buddhism.

    • Concupiscence

    • Desire

    • Greed

    • Sin

    Correct Answer
    A. Desire
    Explanation
    Desire is considered the root cause of suffering according to Buddhism. The concept of desire encompasses not only craving for material possessions or sensory pleasures but also attachment to ideas, beliefs, and even the desire for existence itself. The Buddha taught that desire leads to clinging and attachment, which in turn leads to suffering. By eliminating desire and cultivating detachment, one can attain enlightenment and liberation from suffering.

    The term "Buddha" refers to someone who has achieved enlightenment, or the state of complete understanding and liberation from suffering.

    A view on suffering which could lead to regarding God as a "puppeteer."

    • Suffering as love

    • Suffering as trial

    • Suffering as punishment

    • None of the given

    Correct Answer
    A. Suffering as trial
    Explanation
    The view that regards suffering as a trial suggests that God allows suffering in order to test and strengthen individuals' faith and character. This perspective sees suffering as a means for personal growth and development, rather than as a punishment or a demonstration of God's control over human lives like a "puppeteer." It implies that God is not causing suffering directly, but rather permitting it to happen for a greater purpose.

    As Christians, what should be our view towards our suffering?

    Correct Answer
    love
    God's love
    as participation to Christ's suffering
    as love
    participation to Christ's suffering
    Explanation
    Our view towards our suffering as Christians should be one of love, recognizing that God's love is present in our suffering and that it is an opportunity for us to participate in Christ's suffering. Suffering can be seen as an expression of love, as it allows us to share in the pain and sacrifice that Christ endured for us. By embracing our suffering with love and understanding its connection to Christ's suffering, we can find purpose and meaning in our own experiences of hardship.

    • Concupiscence

    • Desire

    • Greed

    • Sin

    Correct Answer
    A. Sin
    Explanation
    The correct answer is sin because according to the doctrine of the Church, sin is seen as the root cause of all human suffering. Sin is believed to separate individuals from God and disrupt the divine order, leading to suffering and the consequences of sin. It is considered the ultimate source of all other negative aspects such as concupiscence, desire, and greed. By addressing and overcoming sin, individuals can find redemption and alleviate their suffering.

    • Right movement

    • Right action

    • Right speech

    • Right thoughts

    Correct Answer
    A. Right movement
    Explanation
    The eight-fold path is a concept in Buddhism that outlines the path to enlightenment. It consists of eight aspects or practices that a person should follow. These include right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration. "Right movement" is not one of the aspects of the eight-fold path, making it the correct answer.

    True or False:Christ chose to suffer because of sin.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "Christ chose to suffer because of sin" is false. According to Christian belief, Christ chose to suffer and die on the cross not because of sin, but to redeem humanity from sin. His suffering was seen as a sacrifice to atone for the sins of mankind, offering salvation and forgiveness. Therefore, it was not the sin itself that caused Christ to suffer, but rather his willingness to bear the consequences of sin on behalf of humanity.

    True or False:God became a human person like us to take away our suffering.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that God became a human person like us to take away our suffering. However, this is not true. Different religious beliefs and interpretations may vary, but in general, the concept of God becoming a human is not universally accepted. Some religions believe in the concept of incarnation, where God takes on a human form, but the purpose is not solely to take away our suffering. The reasons behind God becoming human are often seen as multifaceted and complex, including teaching, guiding, and offering salvation. Therefore, the answer is False.
