Detalles de la respuesta

One of the most significant lessons from the emergence of Deborah as a leader is that gender difference isn't a limitation to leadership. Deborah was a prophetess and judge who led the Israelites during a time of oppression by the Canaanites. Despite living in a patriarchal society where men were typically the leaders, Deborah's wisdom and courage were recognized and respected by both men and women. Her leadership not only resulted in the defeat of their enemies but also brought peace to the land for forty years. Therefore, the lesson from Deborah's emergence as a leader is that one's gender should not be a limiting factor in leadership.

Total commitment means being fully devoted and dedicated to the cause. However, exuberance refers to excessive excitement and enthusiasm, which is not necessarily a requirement for good discipleship.

When Ezekiel was called, he was shown a scroll on which were written words of______

Detalles de la respuesta

When Ezekiel was called, he was shown a scroll on which were written words of lamentations, mourning, and woe. Ezekiel was a prophet in the Bible who received a calling from God to prophesy to the exiled Israelites in Babylon. In the book of Ezekiel, it is written that when he was called, he saw a vision of God's glory and heard a voice speaking to him. The voice instructed him to eat a scroll, which he did. The scroll contained words of lamentation, mourning, and woe. These words are associated with the judgment that God was bringing upon Israel for their disobedience and idolatry. The words of lamentation expressed sorrow over the destruction that was coming, the words of mourning expressed grief over the loss of life that would occur, and the words of woe expressed warning of the impending disaster. Thus, the scroll that Ezekiel saw and ate symbolized the message of judgment that he was to deliver to the exiled Israelites, calling them to repent and turn back to God before it was too late.

Detalles de la respuesta

St. Paul's epistle to the Philippians on "Christian Giving" indicated his reception of gifts from them through Epaphroditus. In his letter to the Philippians, Paul wrote about the importance of Christian giving and thanked the Philippians for their generosity in supporting his ministry. He mentioned that they had sent him gifts on several occasions, and he expressed his gratitude for their kindness. Paul specifically mentions in Philippians 4:18 that the Philippians' gifts were delivered to him by Epaphroditus, who was a member of the Philippian church and who had been sent by the Philippians to bring their gifts to Paul while he was in prison. In Philippians 2:25-30, Paul also spoke highly of Epaphroditus and praised him for his service to the church. Through these passages, it is clear that the gifts from the Philippians were delivered to Paul by Epaphroditus, who was a trusted member of the Philippian church and who had been sent specifically to deliver the gifts to Paul while he was in prison. This shows the close relationship between Paul and the Philippians and their commitment to supporting one another in their shared mission to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The model example in St. Paul teaching on humility is ______

Detalles de la respuesta

The model example in St. Paul's teaching on humility is Jesus Christ. In Philippians 2:5-8, Paul wrote about the importance of humility and the example that Jesus Christ set for us. He urged his readers to have the same attitude that Christ had, which involved putting the needs of others before our own and serving them with humility and love. Paul described Jesus as one who, "being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!" (Philippians 2:6-8). This passage shows that Jesus, who was fully God, willingly took on human form and became a servant, putting the needs of others before his own. He humbled himself by submitting to death on a cross, even though he had the power to save himself. In doing so, Jesus set the ultimate example of humility and self-sacrifice, which serves as a model for all Christians to follow. Therefore, St. Paul's teaching on humility is centered around the example of Jesus Christ, who showed us the ultimate act of humility and selflessness through his life, death, and resurrection.

Elijah fed on _____ after declaring drought upon the land of Israel

Detalles de la respuesta

The correct answer is: Bread, meat, and water. According to the Bible, Elijah was a prophet who declared a drought upon the land of Israel as a result of the people's disobedience to God. During this time, Elijah was fed by ravens who brought him bread and meat in the morning and evening, and he drank from a nearby brook (1 Kings 17:2-6). Later on, when the brook dried up due to the drought, God instructed Elijah to go to a town called Zarephath, where a widow would provide for him. When Elijah found the widow, he asked her for some water and a piece of bread. The widow explained that she only had a handful of flour and a little oil, and that she was preparing to use them to make a final meal for herself and her son before they died of starvation. Despite this, Elijah instructed the widow to make him a small cake of bread with the flour and oil, and to then make a meal for herself and her son. The widow obeyed, and miraculously, her supply of flour and oil did not run out until the drought ended and rain fell upon the land (1 Kings 17:8-16). Therefore, the correct answer to the question is: Bread, meat, and water, as these are the foods that Elijah ate after declaring the drought upon the land of Israel. The other options do not accurately reflect the foods that Elijah ate during this time.

For how long did the Lord supply the children of Israel with manna in the wilderness?

Detalles de la respuesta

The correct answer is: Forty years. According to the Bible, after the children of Israel were freed from slavery in Egypt, they wandered in the wilderness for forty years before entering the Promised Land. During this time, the Lord provided them with food in the form of a substance called manna, which was described as being like coriander seed and tasting like honey (Exodus 16:31). The manna appeared on the ground each morning, and the Israelites were instructed to gather enough for their daily needs, with the exception of the day before the Sabbath, when they were to gather enough for two days (Exodus 16:4-5). The manna continued to appear every day for the entire forty-year period, until the Israelites reached the border of the Promised Land and were able to eat from the produce of the land (Joshua 5:12). Therefore, the correct answer to the question is: Forty years. The other options do not accurately reflect the length of time that the Lord supplied the Israelites with manna in the wilderness.

The accusation of blasphemy against Moses, the law and God was levied against _______

Detalles de la respuesta

The accusation of blasphemy against Moses, the law and God was levied against Stephen. In the book of Acts in the New Testament of the Bible, Stephen was a man full of faith and wisdom who was chosen as one of the seven deacons to serve the needs of the community of believers in Jerusalem. However, he was also known for preaching about Jesus and performing miracles, which led to some people becoming jealous and angry with him. During a debate with some of these people, Stephen made a long speech in which he recounted the history of the Israelites and their relationship with God. He criticized the religious leaders for not following God's laws and for rejecting Jesus as the Messiah. This enraged the crowd, and they accused him of speaking blasphemous words against Moses, the law, and God. As a result of these accusations, Stephen was arrested and brought before the Jewish high council, where he continued to defend his beliefs. Eventually, he was stoned to death, becoming the first Christian martyr.

Detalles de la respuesta

According to Jeremiah, the Lord's new covenant will be made with the "house of Israel and the house of Judah." The prophet Jeremiah lived during a time when the kingdom of Israel was divided into two parts, the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah. In Jeremiah 31:31-34, he speaks of a new covenant that the Lord will make with the people of Israel and Judah, in which He promises to write His laws on their hearts and to be their God. This new covenant is seen as a fulfillment of the promises made by God to His people and as a renewal of the relationship between God and His people. It is also seen as a symbol of the restoration of the unity of the people of Israel and Judah and the reunification of the kingdom. In the New Testament, Christians believe that this new covenant was fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who through His death and resurrection established a new covenant between God and humanity. Through faith in Jesus, people can be reconciled to God and become part of the new covenant community.

"I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities". By this statement, God gave them ______

Detalles de la respuesta

The statement "I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities" is from the book of Amos in the Old Testament of the Bible. It means that God had taken away the people's food and made them go hungry, resulting in their teeth being clean because they had nothing to eat. In other words, the phrase "cleanness of teeth" is a metaphor for hunger and famine. The people had no food to eat, so their teeth were not being used for chewing, resulting in them being clean. This statement was part of a message from God to the people of Israel, warning them of the consequences of their disobedience and reminding them of His power and authority. Therefore, the answer to the question is "No food to eat."

The statement "Do not be afraid; for I know what you seek, Jesus who was crucified..." was made by an angel to Mary Magdalene and the other Mary (the mother of James) who had come to Jesus' tomb on the morning of his resurrection. According to the Bible, after Jesus was crucified and buried, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to the tomb to anoint his body with spices. When they arrived, there was a great earthquake and an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, rolled back the stone from the tomb, and sat on it. The guards who were watching the tomb were terrified and became like dead men. The angel then spoke to the women, saying "Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying" (Matthew 28:5-6). The women were overjoyed at the news and hurried to tell the disciples, who later saw Jesus alive and were convinced of his resurrection. Thus, the statement "Do not be afraid; for I know what you seek, Jesus who was crucified..." was a message of comfort and assurance from the angel to Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, confirming the fulfillment of Jesus' promise to rise from the dead and providing them with evidence of his resurrection.
