If Christ were not raised form the dead, argues Paul, Christian faith would have
Detalles de la respuesta
In his first letter to the Corinthians, Paul argues that if Christ were not raised from the dead, then the Christian faith would have been in vain. This is because the resurrection of Jesus is the foundation of the Christian faith. If Jesus had not risen from the dead, then His death on the cross would have had no meaning, and there would be no hope for eternal life. The resurrection of Jesus is the proof that He was indeed the Son of God, and it demonstrates God's power over sin and death. Without the resurrection, there would be no forgiveness of sins, no reconciliation with God, and no promise of eternal life. Therefore, Paul argues that the resurrection of Jesus is essential to the Christian faith, and if it had not happened, then the faith of Christians would be meaningless.

Detalles de la respuesta
Saul was a native of Tarsus. Tarsus was an important city in ancient Cilicia, located in modern-day Turkey. Saul, who later became known as the apostle Paul, was born in Tarsus and grew up there. Tarsus was a significant center of learning and culture, and it is likely that Saul received a good education there. As a young man, Saul became a Pharisee and was zealous for the Jewish faith, persecuting Christians until he had a transformative encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus. The fact that Saul was from Tarsus is mentioned several times in the New Testament, including in Acts of the Apostles and in Paul's letters.

According to Peter which of the following is not an illustration of how Jesus lived a life worthy of imitation?
Detalles de la respuesta
According to Peter, "when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly" (1 Peter 2:23). Therefore, the illustration that is not mentioned as an example of how Jesus lived a life worthy of imitation is "when he suffered, he fought back spiritedly". Peter emphasizes that Jesus did not retaliate when he suffered but rather committed himself to God's righteous judgement, showing us how to respond to unjust suffering with patience, trust, and faith in God.

Detalles de la respuesta
When the guards reported the incident of the empty tomb, the Jewish authorities asked them to say that Jesus' disciples had stolen His body. This was an attempt by the authorities to explain away the empty tomb and to discredit the claim of the resurrection. By blaming the disciples, they sought to shift the blame away from themselves and to prevent the spread of the Christian message. However, this explanation was later refuted by the eyewitness accounts of the disciples, who testified to seeing Jesus alive after His death and burial.

Detalles de la respuesta
In the Acts of the Apostles, communal living in the Early Church was characterized by sharing of goods, praying together, breaking of bread, and having fellowship together. However, hiding from Jewish arrest was not a characteristic of communal living in the Early Church. While the early Christians faced persecution and opposition from the Jewish authorities, they did not hide from them but continued to proclaim the message of Jesus Christ boldly. The book of Acts describes the early Christians as a close-knit community that cared for one another, shared their resources, and worshiped together. This communal living was an expression of their love for God and for one another and served as a witness to the transforming power of the Gospel.

Detalles de la respuesta
Saul's war with the Amalekites was called Holy War because Yahweh ordered total destruction. According to the Bible, in 1 Samuel 15, God commanded Saul to completely destroy the Amalekites and all that belonged to them, sparing nothing. This was seen as a holy war because it was fought for a religious purpose and was sanctioned by God. Saul was supposed to completely devote the Amalekites and their possessions to destruction as an act of obedience to God. However, Saul spared some of the spoils of war, which angered God and resulted in his downfall.

Detalles de la respuesta
The statement "Follow me and leave the dead to bury the dead" implies that Jesus placed more emphasis on following him and spreading his teachings to others, rather than focusing on traditional cultural practices such as burying the dead. He wanted his followers to prioritize their commitment to him and his teachings over other responsibilities and cultural practices, even ones that were considered very important like burying the dead. It does not mean that Jesus opposed burial of the dead, was beside himself, was acting as a fanatic, or regarded as dead anybody who rejects him.

Detalles de la respuesta
During Nebuchadnezzar's siege on Jerusalem in the reign of Jehoiachin, the outcome was that Nebuchadnezzar carried away the treasures of the temple. Jehoiachin was also taken captive along with his family and many of the people of Jerusalem. Nebuchadnezzar did not slay all the children of the king or gouge out the king's eyes, but he did not allow Jehoiachin to remain on the throne. Instead, Nebuchadnezzar appointed Zedekiah as king of Judah. So, to summarize, the outcome of the siege was the plundering of the temple treasures and the exile of Jehoiachin and his people.

Detalles de la respuesta
During the first Christian missionary journey, Paul and Barnabas were referred to as gods at Lystra. In the Bible, Acts 14:8-18 describes how Paul and Barnabas healed a man who had been lame from birth. The people of Lystra saw this miracle and started to call them "gods" in their own language. They believed that these two men were gods who had come down to earth, so they brought offerings and sacrifices to them. However, when Paul and Barnabas heard of this, they tore their clothes and told the people that they were just ordinary men, not gods. They encouraged the people to turn away from idol worship and to follow the one true God. So, although they were briefly referred to as gods, Paul and Barnabas quickly corrected this misconception and pointed the people to the true source of their power and authority.

According to James, to be only hearers of the law and not doers of it is deceiving oneself. In other words, simply listening to the teachings of the law without actually putting them into practice is not true religion and is considered self-deception. James emphasizes the importance of not only hearing the word of God but also doing what it says in order to live a life of true faith. Therefore, one must not only have faith but also put it into action by doing good works.

Detalles de la respuesta
Jesus selected the twelve disciples in order to train them to carry on after his departure. In the Bible, Jesus chose twelve men to be his disciples, and he spent much of his time teaching them about God and the Kingdom of Heaven. He performed miracles and shared parables with them to illustrate important lessons, and he sent them out to preach and heal others in his name. Jesus knew that he would not always be with them, so he prepared them for the time when he would be gone. He taught them how to lead and how to love, how to serve and how to sacrifice. Jesus knew that the work he began was too important to be limited to just one person, so he chose twelve disciples to carry on his mission after his departure. They became the foundation of the Church and the first Christian leaders, spreading the message of Jesus Christ throughout the world.

Detalles de la respuesta
According to Paul's Epistle to the Philippians, a Christian can prove his humility by showing love and being in full accord with other people. In Philippians 2:3-4, Paul says "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others." Paul emphasizes that humility means putting the interests of others before our own, and treating others with love, respect, and kindness. This is the opposite of selfishness and self-centeredness, which are the antithesis of humility. Thus, a Christian who shows love and lives in harmony with others is demonstrating true humility.

Detalles de la respuesta
Jesus condemns the partiality of the Church towards the rich because they oppress the poor. In the book of James, we are told that God has chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, while the rich have a tendency to oppress the poor and drag them into court (James 2:5-6). Therefore, when the church shows partiality to the rich and gives them preferential treatment, they are not following the example of Jesus who came to preach the good news to the poor (Luke 4:18). This behavior is also inconsistent with the command to love your neighbor as yourself (James 2:8).

Detalles de la respuesta
The statement, "Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: ‘though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow’" by Isaiah means that if we are willing to repent, God will forgive us. Isaiah is using the image of scarlet sins becoming white as snow to illustrate the transformative power of God's forgiveness. Even if our sins are deep and dark like scarlet, God's grace and mercy are greater, and He is willing to forgive us if we turn to Him with a contrite heart. The passage emphasizes that God desires to reason with His people, to have a dialogue with them about their sins, and to offer them the opportunity to be forgiven. It underscores the importance of repentance and the promise of God's forgiveness for those who seek it.

Peter and John were arrested the second time by the Jewish authorities because they were preaching in the name of Jesus. After healing a lame man, Peter and John were brought before the Sanhedrin, the Jewish council, who questioned them about the healing. Peter and John boldly testified that the healing was done in the name of Jesus, whom the Jewish leaders had crucified but whom God had raised from the dead. The Sanhedrin was angered by their preaching and ordered them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. However, Peter and John refused to obey the Sanhedrin, stating that they must obey God rather than human authority. As a result, they were arrested and brought before the Sanhedrin again. This time, they were warned and released, but their preaching and boldness continued to spread and impact many.

It also emphasizes the power of Jesus, who was able to calm the storm with just a word, despite being asleep when the disciples woke him up. This detail adds to the dramatic effect of the story and underscores the faith of the disciples in Jesus as they marveled at His power.

The teaching of Paul in Romans that Christians are buried in baptism with Christ Jesus suggests a new life in Christ. When Paul speaks of baptism in this passage, he is referring to the symbolic act of being immersed in water, which represents dying to the old self and rising to a new life in Christ.

This new life is characterized by a commitment to righteousness and a willingness to live in obedience to God. Therefore, to summarize, the teaching suggests that Christians who have been baptized with Christ have a new life in Him and are called to live according to His ways.

Detalles de la respuesta
According to Amos, true religion is described as one in which justice and righteousness flow like an endless stream. Amos was a prophet in the Old Testament who spoke to the people of Israel about their lack of justice and righteousness. He condemned their empty religious practices, including their feasts and solemn assemblies, and their belief that God could be appeased with sacrifice and tithes alone. Instead, Amos emphasized the importance of doing justice and loving kindness, and walking humbly with God. In Amos 5:24, he famously says, "But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!" This means that true religion is not just about outward rituals and sacrifices, but about living a life of justice, fairness, and compassion towards others, which should flow naturally from a heart that is devoted to God.
