16 OccupationReligious reasons for. Religious reasons against. a) UN Soldier UN soldiers keep the peace between people and help the weak in difficult parts of the world. God would approve of this as it shows agape/love. Christianity is all about peace, surely it is wrong to be a soldier and fight? b) Gambler Christians believe that what you do with your money matters. Rather than Gamble, you should be helping the poor and show good stewardship of your wealth Well, maybe if you win you can then do good with it. Even the Church accepts money from the lottery! c) Doctor

17 Neither Bible nor Church list occupations Christians can and can not do but Christian beliefs affected choices on jobs. A key belief is that Christians should help and protect the weak. Such beliefs lead Christians towards caring and responsible professions e.g. vet, police, environmentalist. They are unlikely to chose a career that exploits people or encourages misuse of resources. Also believe in fair trade so unlikely to work for a company that exploits slave labour. Please take notes to summarise what you have learnt.
