Maelezo ya Majibu
According to Paul's Epistle to the Galatians, as long as an heir is a child, he is under guardians and trustees. This means that when a child is too young to take care of themselves and their inheritance, they need someone to look after them and manage their affairs on their behalf. These people are responsible for protecting the child's interests until they are old enough to do so themselves. In the same way, Paul uses this analogy to explain that before Christ came, people were like children who needed the law to guide and protect them. However, now that Christ has come, they no longer need the law as they have grown up and can live by faith. So, the guardians and trustees in the analogy represent the law, and the child represents the people who lived under it before Christ.

Maelezo ya Majibu
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." This is a phrase from the Bible, specifically from the Sermon on the Mount in the book of Matthew.

Those who keep all the laws but fail at one are ________.
Maelezo ya Majibu
Those who keep all the laws but fail at one are guilty of all. This concept comes from the Bible, specifically James 2:10, which states: "For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it." The idea behind this statement is that the law is a unified whole, and breaking any part of it is a violation of the entire law. It's not a matter of tallying up individual offenses and weighing them against good deeds, but rather acknowledging that even one transgression is enough to make someone a lawbreaker. This principle has implications for religious and ethical frameworks that emphasize the importance of living a virtuous life. It suggests that being "good" in most areas but falling short in others is not enough, and that true moral excellence requires consistent adherence to all principles and standards.

Maelezo ya Majibu
The statement "But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a custodian..." was made by Paul in his letter to the Galatians. In this statement, Paul is referring to the Old Testament law, which he calls a "custodian" or "tutor" that was in place until the coming of Jesus Christ. Paul's argument in the letter to the Galatians is that faith in Jesus Christ is the way to be justified or made right with God, rather than following the works of the law. He is explaining that the law served as a temporary guide or guardian to point people toward Christ, but now that Christ has come and faith in Him is available, the law is no longer needed as a custodian. In simpler terms, Paul is saying that following the Old Testament law was a temporary measure to guide people towards faith in Christ. But now that Christ has come, we no longer need to rely on the law as a guide or guardian, because faith in Christ is enough to justify us before God.

When Bathsheba became pregnant, David tried to cover up his sin by bringing Uriah back from the front lines of battle and encouraging him to go home and spend time with his wife. But Uriah, a committed soldier, refused to enjoy the comforts of home while his comrades were still fighting. Desperate to cover up his adultery and the impending scandal, David ordered his general, Joab, to put Uriah in a position where he would be killed in battle. Joab carried out David's orders, and Uriah died in battle. So, the person responsible for the death of Uriah was King David, who gave the orders to have Uriah placed in harm's way, and his general, Joab, who carried out those orders.

'But let justice roll down like waters and _______like an overflowing stream'
Maelezo ya Majibu
The missing word in the phrase is "righteousness." This phrase is a quotation from the Book of Amos in the Old Testament of the Bible. In this passage, the prophet Amos is calling for justice and righteousness to be established in society, so that all people can be treated fairly and with equity. The metaphor of water is used to convey the idea that justice and righteousness should flow continuously and abundantly, like the waters of a river or a stream. It should not be a mere trickle or a temporary solution, but rather a constant and overwhelming force that cleanses and purifies society. Thus, the phrase "Let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an overflowing stream" is a powerful call to action for people to work towards creating a more just and equitable society, where everyone is treated with fairness and dignity.

The reason why the Lord told Solomon his kingdom would be divided after his death was because he had married many foreign women who worshiped other gods. Solomon had allowed these wives to influence him and turn his heart away from God, causing him to follow their gods and worship idols. This angered the Lord and he warned Solomon that as a result, his kingdom would be taken away from his family and divided into two parts.

Maelezo ya Majibu
The correct answer is Gomer. In the Bible, the prophet Hosea was instructed by God to marry a woman named Gomer, who later became unfaithful to him by committing adultery with other men. This was a symbol of Israel's unfaithfulness to God, as Hosea was commanded to love and forgive his wife despite her infidelity, just as God loves and forgives the Israelites despite their disobedience and idolatry. Therefore, Gomer represented Israel's unfaithfulness to God, just as she was unfaithful to her husband Hosea.

Maelezo ya Majibu
This statement, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!" was made during the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. This event is also known as Palm Sunday, which occurred during the last week of Jesus' life before his crucifixion. The people of Jerusalem greeted Jesus as he rode on a donkey, laying their cloaks and palm branches on the road before him and shouting "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" (Matthew 21:9). This event fulfilled the prophecy of Zechariah 9:9, which said that the king would come to Jerusalem riding on a donkey. The people of Jerusalem recognized Jesus as the Messiah and welcomed him with joy and celebration, but later in the week, many of these same people would turn against him and demand his crucifixion.

In Joel 2:28, it is written "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions."

On that day, the apostles and other followers of Jesus were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as a sign of God's power and presence among them.

Maelezo ya Majibu
With Moses still at Mount Sinai, the Israelites asked Aaron to "produce another god for them". This event is recorded in the book of Exodus in the Old Testament of the Bible. The story goes that while Moses was on Mount Sinai receiving the Ten Commandments from God, the Israelites became anxious and restless. They turned to Aaron, Moses' brother and the high priest, and demanded that he make them a god to worship. Aaron, fearful of the people, complied with their request and instructed them to bring him their gold jewelry. He then melted the gold and fashioned it into the shape of a calf, which the Israelites began to worship and offer sacrifices to. When Moses returned from Mount Sinai and saw what the Israelites had done, he was filled with righteous anger and smashed the stone tablets containing the Ten Commandments. He then confronted Aaron about his role in the creation of the golden calf, and ordered that the idol be destroyed and those responsible for its creation be punished. The story of the golden calf is seen as a cautionary tale about the dangers of idolatry and the importance of remaining faithful to God's commandments. It is also a reminder that leaders have a responsibility to resist the pressures of the crowd and remain true to their values and beliefs. In summary, with Moses still at Mount Sinai, the Israelites asked Aaron to "produce another god for them" to worship, which he did by fashioning a golden calf out of their jewelry. The story serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of idolatry and the importance of remaining faithful to God's commandments.
