Answer Details
According to the biblical account in Numbers 21, in order to stay alive, anyone who was bitten by the fiery serpent had to look at the bronze serpent. God instructed Moses to make a bronze serpent and put it on a pole so that anyone who looked at it after being bitten by a serpent would be healed and not die. So, touching, making, or killing a serpent would not save them, but only looking at the bronze serpent would bring healing and life.

Answer Details
The Sadducees did not believe in the resurrection of the dead. They were a Jewish sect that existed during the Second Temple period and were known for their strict adherence to the written Torah while rejecting the oral traditions and the belief in the resurrection of the dead. They believed that the soul did not survive after death, and therefore, there was no afterlife or resurrection of the dead. The Pharisees, on the other hand, did believe in the resurrection of the dead and the existence of an afterlife.

Answer Details
In the parable of the sower, the seeds that fell on the rock represent people who believed for a short while and later fell away. This is because the seeds that fell on the rock had no depth of soil to take root, so they withered away in the sun. Similarly, some people may hear the word of God and receive it with joy at first, but when they face trials or persecution, they may fall away from their faith. Therefore, the seeds that fell on the rock represent those who have a shallow faith and are easily swayed or discouraged.

Answer Details
Samson carried away the doors, posts, and bar of the city gate from a Philistine city called Gaza. Samson was one of the judges of Israel in the Bible, and he had supernatural strength that allowed him to perform amazing feats. One day, he went to Gaza and stayed with a prostitute there. The people of Gaza found out about him and decided to capture him, so they stationed men at the city gate to catch him if he tried to leave. But Samson was very strong, so he simply picked up the gates of the city, with their posts and bar, and carried them away on his shoulders. This was a remarkable display of strength that amazed the people of Gaza and showed that Samson was a man of great power.

'Put off your shoes from your feet; for the place where you stand is holy; Where was this statement made?
Answer Details
This statement, "Put off your shoes from your feet; for the place where you stand is holy," was made at Mount Horeb. Mount Horeb is also known as the "Mountain of God" and is believed to be the place where Moses first spoke to God through the burning bush.

God instructed him to take off his sandals because the ground he was standing on was holy. This was a sign of respect and reverence for the presence of God. Therefore, the statement "Put off your shoes from your feet; for the place where you stand is holy" is a command given by God to Moses at Mount Horeb when he appeared to him through the burning bush.

Answer Details
When the uproar happened in Jerusalem, the Tribune ordered Paul to be examined by scourging. However, he changed his mind when he discovered that Paul was a Roman citizen. According to the Bible, Paul was a Jew who was also a Roman citizen. As a Roman citizen, he had certain legal rights and protections that non-citizens did not have. One of these rights was the protection against arbitrary punishment, such as flogging, without a fair trial. When the Tribune found out that Paul was a Roman citizen, he was afraid that he would be punished for violating his rights. Therefore, he decided to cancel the scourging and arrange for a proper trial for Paul. This incident shows the importance of legal rights and due process, even in times of social unrest and political turmoil.
