A Question to Consider: The Epic of Gilgamesh

Main question:

What does it mean to be a savior?

Other questions to consider:

1. When someone says that Jesus is his savior, what does he mean?

2. Can you list any stories that have saviors in them?

3. Could a story by a writer who is not a Christian have a savior? Why or why not?

4. If a story by a writer who is not a Christian tried to have a savior, in what ways would that savior fall short of Jesus Christ?

Jethro's Comment

Okay, obviously I haven't been on in a long time...life has certainly gotten in the way. And praise God it has. My father is home and we, as a whole family have been spending some much needed time together. Recently, Jethro, wrote a comment on free will...and it's a very interesting question that I think deserves much attention. His question was this:

"If God is sovereign and elects whom He pleases, what are the implications of that on our decision making process and ideas of free will?"

Tell me what you think.
