Answer Details

Saul was rejected as King over Israel because he disobeyed God's command to utterly destroy the Amalekites. According to the Bible, God commanded Saul to destroy the Amalekites and everything that belonged to them, as they had opposed the Israelites when they came out of Egypt. However, Saul spared the Amalekite king and kept some of their valuable possessions, going against God's command. As a result, God was displeased with Saul's disobedience and regretted making him king. God then chose David, a man after His own heart, to be the next king of Israel.

abstinence from blood

the month

Answer Details

The Last Supper took place during the Passover on the first day of unleavened bread. The Passover was an important Jewish festival that commemorated the Israelites' liberation from slavery in Egypt. It was celebrated on the 14th day of the first month of the Jewish calendar, which usually falls in March or April. During the Passover, Jews were required to eat unleavened bread for seven days to remember how their ancestors had to leave Egypt in a hurry and didn't have time to let their bread rise. The first day of the Passover was also the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which was a week-long celebration. According to the New Testament, the Last Supper was a Passover meal that Jesus shared with his disciples. During this meal, Jesus instituted the practice of the Eucharist, where bread and wine are consumed as a symbol of his body and blood. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Last Supper took place during the Passover on the first day of unleavened bread.

This miracle is significant because it demonstrated Jesus' power and divine nature, and it also shows his concern for the needs of others.

In Corinthians, Paul says that the one who prophesies edifies the church. "Edify" means to build up or strengthen, and "church" refers to the community of believers. So when someone prophesies, they are strengthening and encouraging the community of believers. It's important to note that prophesying in this context doesn't necessarily mean predicting the future, but rather speaking words of encouragement, comfort, or guidance under the influence of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus said anyone who put his hand to the plough and looked back would not be

rich on earth

a good teacher

fit for the Kingdom of God Correct answer

able to perform miracles

Answer Details

Jesus' statement "Anyone who puts his hand to the plough and looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God" is found in the New Testament of the Bible in the book of Luke. In this context, the "plough" refers to a farming tool used to prepare the soil for planting crops. Jesus was using this agricultural image to teach a spiritual lesson. The message is that in order to be part of God's kingdom, one must be fully committed and not look back. If a farmer were to look back while ploughing a field, the straight furrow they were creating would become crooked and the field would not be prepared properly for planting. In the same way, if a person tries to follow God but keeps looking back and second-guessing their decision, they will not be fully committed and will not be able to fully experience the blessings and rewards of being part of God's kingdom. So, in simple terms, Jesus is saying that to be part of God's kingdom, one must be fully dedicated and focused on their faith, without looking back or wavering.

Paul teaches the Romans that the presenting of their bodies as a living sacrifice to God is their

prayer life

demonstration of charity

spiritual worship Correct answer

brotherly affection

Answer Details

Paul teaches the Romans that the presenting of their bodies as a living sacrifice to God is their spiritual worship. This is stated in Romans 12:1, where Paul writes, "Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship." In this passage, Paul is encouraging the Romans to see their bodies as a means of worshiping God. By offering their bodies as a living sacrifice, they are demonstrating their love and devotion to God and surrendering themselves completely to His will. This act of self-surrender is seen as a form of spiritual worship, as it shows that they are putting God first in their lives and seeking to serve Him in all that they do.

The presiding judge at the Jerusalem Council was James.

The Council was attended by apostles, elders, and other prominent figures in the early Christian community. Although Peter played a significant role in the Council by advocating for the acceptance of Gentiles, it was James who presided over the meeting and made the final decision. James was the leader of the church in Jerusalem and was highly respected by both Jewish and Gentile Christians for his wisdom and insight. He ultimately concluded that Gentile converts did not need to follow all Jewish customs and laws in order to be accepted into the Christian faith, a decision that helped to pave the way for the growth and spread of Christianity among non-Jewish populations.

Answer Details

The Jerusalem wall was rebuilt under the leadership of Nehemiah because the people had the mind to work. Nehemiah, who was appointed as governor of the Persian province of Judah, heard about the ruined walls of Jerusalem and decided to take action. He motivated and inspired the people to come together and work on rebuilding the wall, despite facing opposition from neighboring enemies. Through his leadership, Nehemiah instilled a sense of unity and purpose among the people, encouraging them to work diligently and persistently to achieve their goal. The availability of materials, the support of settlers, and the grant of funds from King Cyrus were also important factors in the rebuilding of the wall, but it was the determination and dedication of the people, led by Nehemiah, that ultimately made the project successful.

Answer Details

Peter says that God exalts those who humble themselves. This means that God lifts up and gives honor to people who have a modest or low opinion of themselves and their importance. These individuals recognize that they are not the center of the universe and that there are things greater than themselves. They are open to learning and growing, and they are not too proud to admit their mistakes or ask for help when needed. In doing so, they demonstrate a level of humility that God finds commendable, and as a result, God elevates them to a higher position of honor and respect.

According to Ezekiel, the new covenant would involve the sprinkling of clean water upon the people. In Ezekiel 36:25-27, God promised to cleanse His people with clean water and give them a new heart and a new spirit. This was a metaphor for the forgiveness of sins and the regeneration of the human heart through the power of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, sacrificing oxen, washing the people with the blood of an animal, or erecting an altar are not elements of the new covenant as described by Ezekiel.

Question 27 Report

"Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money.."Why did Naboth refuse to sell his vineyard?

it was a big vineyard

He inherited it from his fathers Correct answer

the money offered was too small

He had no other vineyard

Answer Details

Naboth refused to sell his vineyard because it was an inheritance from his fathers. In ancient Israel, the land was considered a precious and sacred gift from God, and it was typically passed down through generations within a family. Naboth considered his vineyard as an essential part of his family's heritage and identity, and he did not want to part with it for any price. Furthermore, the laws in Israel prohibited the sale or transfer of ancestral land outside the family. Therefore, Naboth was not only preserving his family's legacy but also following the laws and traditions of his community. In the biblical story, the character who asks Naboth to sell his vineyard is King Ahab, who wanted to expand his palace grounds. Ahab offered Naboth money or a better vineyard in exchange for his land, but Naboth refused, citing his family's inheritance and the laws of the land. This ultimately led to Naboth's wrongful conviction and execution, as Ahab's wife Jezebel plotted against him. Therefore, is the correct answer. Naboth refused to sell his vineyard because it was an inheritance from his fathers, and it held significant cultural and religious value to him and his family.

In the teaching on the true vine, Jesus said that any branch that bears fruit will be

harvested

pruned Correct answer

pegged

grafted

Answer Details

In the teaching on the true vine, Jesus said that any branch that bears fruit will be pruned. To understand this, we need to know that in this teaching, Jesus used the image of a vine and its branches to describe our relationship with Him. He said that He is the vine, and we are the branches. He also said that God is the gardener who takes care of the vineyard. When a branch on a vine produces fruit, it is a sign that the branch is healthy and doing what it is supposed to do. However, the gardener still needs to do some work on the branch. He prunes it by cutting off the dead or unproductive parts so that it can grow stronger and produce even more fruit. In the same way, Jesus said that God prunes the branches in our lives that are not bearing fruit, so that we can become even more fruitful. This process may be painful or uncomfortable, but it is necessary for us to grow and become more like Jesus. So, if we are bearing fruit in our lives, we can expect God to prune us so that we can become even better and more fruitful in our service to Him.

God forbade the Israelites from inter-marrying with Gentiles because the

Gentiles were more in number than the Israelites

Israelites had taken their land by force

Gentiles would turn the Israelites' hearts after their gods Correct answer

Gentiles planned to attack the Israelites

Answer Details

In the Bible, God forbade the Israelites from inter-marrying with Gentiles because He knew that the Gentiles would turn the Israelites' hearts after their gods. Throughout the Old Testament, the Israelites were often tempted to worship the gods of the nations around them. God had chosen the Israelites to be His special people, and He had given them laws and commandments to follow. If the Israelites were to inter-marry with Gentiles, they would be at risk of adopting their gods and their ways of worship. God had promised to bless the Israelites if they obeyed His commands, but He had also warned them of the consequences of disobedience. Inter-marrying with Gentiles would be a violation of God's commandments and would lead to the Israelites' spiritual downfall. It is important to note that God's commandments were not based on any superiority of the Israelites over the Gentiles. Rather, God had chosen the Israelites as His people for a specific purpose, and He had given them specific instructions to follow. To summarize, the correct answer is: God forbade the Israelites from inter-marrying with Gentiles because He knew that the Gentiles would turn the Israelites' hearts after their gods and lead them into spiritual disobedience.

Answer Details

In Colossians, Christians are advised to be diligent at work because in doing so, they are serving God. This means that their work is not just for their personal gain or for their employer, but it is a way for them to honor and glorify God. When Christians work diligently, they reflect God's character of excellence, faithfulness, and stewardship. It is an opportunity for them to use their talents and abilities to make a positive impact on their workplace and society as a whole. By being diligent and trustworthy employees, Christians can demonstrate to others what it means to live a life that is pleasing to God. Furthermore, by serving God through their work, Christians can also be a witness to their colleagues and share the love of Christ with them. They can build relationships with coworkers, demonstrate Christian values, and share their faith when appropriate. This can lead to opportunities for evangelism and ultimately bring glory to God. In summary, Christians are advised to be diligent at work because it is a way for them to serve God, reflect his character, and be a witness to others.

When Saul sought to persecute the believer, he collected letters from the high priest to the synagogues at

Jerusalem

Samaria

Galilee

Damascus Correct answer

Answer Details

When Saul (who later became Paul) sought to persecute the believers, he collected letters from the high priest to the synagogues in Damascus. Saul was a devout Jew who opposed the teachings of Jesus and believed that the followers of Jesus were a threat to Judaism. He obtained letters from the high priest in Jerusalem, authorizing him to arrest any believers he found in Damascus and bring them back to Jerusalem for trial. Damascus was a major city in the ancient world, located in modern-day Syria, and it was an important center of Jewish life and culture. There were several synagogues in Damascus where Jews would gather to worship and study the scriptures. Saul targeted these synagogues because he believed that the believers would be meeting there. However, on his way to Damascus, Saul had a dramatic encounter with Jesus that transformed his life and led him to become one of the greatest apostles of the Christian faith. He no longer sought to persecute the believers but became a passionate advocate for the teachings of Jesus. Therefore, is the correct answer. Saul collected letters from the high priest to the synagogues in Damascus when he sought to persecute the believers, but his encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus led to a radical transformation in his life and beliefs.

Answer Details

The offense of Ananias and Sapphira was that they lied to the Holy Spirit by keeping back some of the proceeds from the sale of their land, while pretending to give the full amount to the church. They had sold the land and agreed to give all the proceeds to the church, but they secretly kept some for themselves. When Peter asked them about it, they lied and claimed that they had given the full amount. Peter then rebuked them for lying to the Holy Spirit and they both died immediately. Therefore, the correct option is "they kept some of the proceeds of the sold land."
