Detalhes da Resposta
The sin that reigns in our mortal bodies makes us obey our passions. In the Christian Bible, in the book of Romans, Paul speaks of the struggle between the desires of the flesh and the desires of the spirit. He explains that sin has a power over our bodies, making us obey the desires and passions of our flesh, rather than the commands of God. This can lead to actions that go against God's will and harm ourselves and others. However, through the power of the Holy Spirit, we can overcome this sinful nature and live according to God's will.

Detalhes da Resposta
The Jewish party that was bitterly opposed to the disciples for preaching the Resurrection of Jesus was the Sadducees.

They rejected the resurrection of the dead and believed in a very literal interpretation of the Torah. When the disciples began preaching the resurrection of Jesus, the Sadducees saw this as a threat to their authority and power, as well as a challenge to their beliefs.

Detalhes da Resposta

It involves being fully immersed in water, representing the washing away of sins and the start of a new life in Christ. One of the results of Christian baptism is walking in the newness of life, which means that the baptized person is no longer bound by their old ways but has a fresh start in following Christ.

Detalhes da Resposta
Gomer's attitude towards her loving husband symbolizes Israel's unfaithfulness to God. In the book of Hosea, Gomer is depicted as a promiscuous wife who repeatedly cheats on her devoted husband, Hosea. Despite her infidelity, Hosea continues to love and forgive her, just as God continues to love and forgive the unfaithful nation of Israel. In the same way that Gomer's unfaithfulness to her loving husband represents Israel's unfaithfulness to God, Hosea's faithful love and forgiveness towards Gomer symbolizes God's love and forgiveness towards Israel. God's love for His people is so great that even when they repeatedly turn away from Him and chase after other gods, He still loves them and seeks to restore them to Himself. Ultimately, the story of Hosea and Gomer serves as a powerful reminder of God's steadfast love and faithfulness towards His people, even in the face of their unfaithfulness and disobedience. It also highlights the importance of repentance and turning back to God in order to receive His mercy and forgiveness.

Detalhes da Resposta
God led the Israelites in the wilderness during the day in the form of a cloud. According to the Old Testament book of Exodus, after the Israelites had escaped from slavery in Egypt, God appeared to them in the form of a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night to guide them through the wilderness towards the Promised Land. The cloud represented God's presence among the people, and it would move ahead of them as they journeyed, indicating the direction they should go. When the cloud stopped, the people would stop and set up camp until the cloud moved again. This way, God provided constant guidance and protection for the Israelites as they traveled through the wilderness. The cloud was also a symbol of God's power and authority, and it was a visible reminder to the Israelites of the covenant relationship they had with God. The cloud would remain with the Israelites throughout their journey, until they finally reached the Promised Land.

Detalhes da Resposta
In the book of Romans, Paul emphasizes that the righteousness of God comes through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. This means that individuals can be made right with God by putting their faith in Jesus and his sacrifice on the cross, rather than by trying to earn their own righteousness through good works or following the law. It is through faith in Jesus that believers are justified and reconciled to God, and are able to live a life that is pleasing to him.

According to the Bible, King Solomon was granted wisdom by God and the first instance where he applied this wisdom was at Gibeon. At Gibeon, Solomon had the opportunity to offer a sacrifice to God and he requested for wisdom from God instead of wealth or power. He then demonstrated his wisdom by judging a dispute between two women who both claimed to be the mother of the same child.

This showed Solomon's ability to discern the truth and make fair judgments, which are key components of wisdom.

In the Epistle to Galatians, Christians are considered as children of God through faith in Christ. The Apostle Paul in his letter to the Galatians emphasized that salvation is not achieved through keeping the law but through faith in Jesus Christ.

Which of the following did not happen immediately after Jesus yielded up his spirit on the cross?
Detalhes da Resposta
The correct answer is: Joseph of Arimathea did not remove Jesus' body immediately after he yielded up his spirit on the cross. According to the Gospel accounts in Matthew 27:50-61, Mark 15:37-47, Luke 23:44-56, and John 19:28-42, after Jesus died on the cross, the earth shook, the rocks were split, and the curtain of the temple was torn into two from top to bottom. Also, the tombs of the saints were opened, and some of them were raised to life and appeared to many. However, the Gospel accounts state that Joseph of Arimathea, a wealthy disciple of Jesus, went to Pilate and asked for permission to remove Jesus' body for burial. This did not happen immediately after Jesus died, but rather later in the day, after the Sabbath had begun. Joseph, along with Nicodemus, another follower of Jesus, prepared Jesus' body for burial and placed it in a tomb.

Detalhes da Resposta
Christ demonstrated humility by taking the form of a servant. In Philippians 2:6-8, it says that although Jesus was God, He did not consider equality with God something to be used to His own advantage. Instead, He made Himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, and humbled Himself by becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross. Jesus demonstrated humility in several ways, but taking on the form of a servant is perhaps the most profound example. Despite being the Son of God, He willingly submitted Himself to serve others, and ultimately sacrificed His life for the redemption of humanity. This act of humility is the ultimate example of selflessness and servanthood, and inspires us to follow in His footsteps by putting the needs of others before our own.

According to the Mosaic law, the only authority to declare a leper healed was the priest. Leprosy was a dreaded disease in ancient times, and people who had it were considered unclean and isolated from the community. The Mosaic law provided strict guidelines for dealing with leprosy, including how to diagnose it and how to declare someone healed. The priest was the only one who could examine a person with leprosy and pronounce them clean if they were healed. This was done through a series of rituals and sacrifices prescribed by the law. The role of the priest in this process was crucial, as they were responsible for maintaining the purity and well-being of the community.

According to Matthew's Gospel, the disciples were sent out with the charge to go nowhere among the Gentiles nor enter any town of the Samaritans, but to go only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. This meant that Jesus wanted the disciples to focus their ministry on the Jewish people and not to the Gentiles or Samaritans, who were considered outsiders to the Jewish faith. Jesus wanted the disciples to spread the good news of the Kingdom of God to their own people first, and then eventually to the Gentiles and the rest of the world. This charge was meant to emphasize the priority of the Jewish people in God's plan of salvation, and to prepare the way for the gospel to be preached to all nations in due time.
