Have a go at marking...
Look at the following
answers and give them a
mark out of 6.
Remember you must mark
each section out of 3
then add this up to get a
total out of 6!
‘’Christians should never use contraception.”
In your answer you should refer to at least ONE
religion.
(i) Do you agree? (3 Marks)
I agree because some Christians believe that
sex is only for procreation (having a baby)
and contraception stops a woman having
one.
(i) Give reasons why some people may disagree with you.
(3 Marks)
Some people might disagree because some
Christians think that sex is a gift from God
to give pleasure to each other.
‘Christians should never use contraception’
In you answer you should refer to at least ONE
religion.
(i) Do you agree? (3 Marks)
I agree because Roman Catholics believe that sex is for
procreation only and contraception stops that process
happening. I also agree because the Bible says that
human beings should reproduce and if Christians use
contraception that won’t happen.
(i) Give reasons why some people may disagree with
you. (3 Marks)
Some people might disagree with me because Christianity
teaches that love is important and sex enables a couple
to show their love without getting pregnant. Another
reason why people might disagree is that the Bible
doesn’t say anywhere that contraception is wrong so
Christians should be able to use it.
‘Christians should never use contraception’
In you answer you should refer to at least ONE
religion.
(i) Do you agree? (3 Marks)
I agree because in the Bible it says that humans should “be fruitful and multiply”. This means
having children and if Christians use contraception they are preventing children being born.
I also agree because Roman Catholics don’t allow artificial contraception because it stops
procreation taking place (making babies). They believe that the purpose of sex is to have
children and contraception stops that. My final reason is that contraception can encourage
people to be promiscuous (sleep around) and Christians believe this is wrong and that sex
should only be done within marriage.
(i) Give reasons why some people may disagree with
you. (3 Marks)
Some people may disagree with me because they believe sex was created by God to give pleasure
to a couple who loved each other. Using contraception lets them use that gift and not worry
about getting pregnant. Contraception can also help protect a woman’s health because it
stops sexually transmitted diseases. It is a loving thing to do to care for people like that
and this is why some Christians like Protestants allow the use of contraception. A final
reason is that the Bible doesn’t mention contraception at all; if Christians were not allowed
to use it then wouldn’t the Bible say so?
‘Christians should never use contraception’
In you answer you should refer to at least ONE
religion.
(i) Do you agree? (3 Marks)
Yes I do
