The essence of St. Paul's teaching on Law and Grace is that___________
Answer Details
The essence of St. Paul's teaching on Law and Grace is that observance of the law is not sufficient for salvation, but it is only through God's grace that Christians can be saved. Paul believed that following the law is important, but it cannot bring salvation because no one can perfectly keep the law. Therefore, it is only through faith in Jesus Christ and the grace of God that one can be redeemed and receive eternal life. However, this does not mean that Christians can continue in sin, but rather they are called to live a life of righteousness, obedience to God's commands, and to work out their salvation with fear and trembling.

Question 5 Report
For how long did the Lord supply the children of Israel with manna in the wilderness?
Answer Details
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.

Question 9 Report
The Egyptians encamped at ____ when they pursued the Israelites
Answer Details
The Egyptians encamped at Pi-ha-hi-roth when they pursued the Israelites. To understand this, we need to go back to the story of the Exodus in the Bible. According to the book of Exodus, the Israelites were slaves in Egypt and God chose Moses to lead them out of slavery and into the promised land. After a series of plagues and miracles, the Pharaoh finally let the Israelites go. However, soon after leaving Egypt, the Pharaoh changed his mind and pursued the Israelites with his army. The Israelites were trapped between the pursuing army and the Red Sea, but God miraculously parted the sea and allowed the Israelites to pass through safely. After the Israelites had crossed the Red Sea, the pursuing Egyptian army followed them into the sea, but God caused the waters to return and drown the army. The Bible says that the Egyptians encamped at Pi-ha-hi-roth before pursuing the Israelites, so that is where they were when they were drowned in the Red Sea.
Question 10 Report
When Ezekiel was called, he was shown a scroll on which were written words of______
Answer Details
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.

Answer Details
The statement "I am the resurrection and the life, he who believes in me, though he dies, yet shall he live" was directed by Jesus to Martha, the sister of Lazarus, after Lazarus had died and was buried. According to the Bible, Lazarus was a friend of Jesus and had become seriously ill. When Jesus arrived, Lazarus had already died and had been in the tomb for four days. Martha and her sister Mary were mourning the loss of their brother, but when Jesus arrived, Martha went out to meet him. During their conversation, Jesus declared that he was the resurrection and the life, and asked Martha if she believed in him. Martha responded by affirming her faith in Jesus and his power to bring her brother back to life. Jesus then went to the tomb, commanded Lazarus to come out, and miraculously raised him from the dead, fulfilling his promise that those who believe in him, even if they die, shall live. Thus, the statement "I am the resurrection and the life, he who believes in me, though he dies, yet shall he live" was a powerful declaration by Jesus of his divinity and his ability to grant eternal life to those who believe in him, even in the face of death.

Answer Details
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.

Answer Details
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. What matters most is one's ability, character, and commitment to lead effectively.

Answer Details
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.

Josiah sent _____the priest to inquire of the Lord from Huldah
Answer Details
Josiah sent Hilkiah the priest to inquire of the Lord from Huldah. King Josiah of Judah was concerned about the spiritual state of his kingdom, and so he sent Hilkiah to seek guidance from the prophetess Huldah. Huldah was a woman known for her spiritual insight and wisdom, and Josiah believed that she could provide him with the guidance he needed. When Hilkiah visited Huldah, she confirmed that the kingdom was indeed in a state of spiritual decline, but she also delivered a message of hope, telling Josiah that if he repented and turned back to the Lord, the Lord would spare the kingdom from the judgment it deserved. This story is a reminder of the importance of seeking guidance from God, and of the power of repentance and faith to bring about renewal and restoration.
Question 29 Report
St Paul's condition for the attainment of justification is by ______?
Answer Details
St. Paul's condition for the attainment of justification is by faith in the Resurrected Jesus. In several of his letters in the New Testament, Paul wrote about the concept of justification, which is the idea that through faith in Jesus Christ, believers are made right with God and can have eternal life. According to Paul, this justification is not something that can be earned by following the law or by doing good works. Rather, it is a gift from God that comes through faith in Jesus Christ. In his letter to the Romans, Paul wrote, "For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law" (Romans 3:28). He also wrote, "But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe" (Romans 3:21-22). According to Paul, faith in the Resurrected Jesus is the only condition for justification. This faith involves believing that Jesus Christ died for our sins and was raised from the dead, and that through our faith in him, we can be made right with God. While obedience to the law and loving our Christian brethren are certainly important, they are not the basis for our justification. Instead, it is through our faith in Jesus Christ that we receive the gift of eternal life and are made right with God.
Question 30 Report
Herod Agrippa persecuted Peter primarily to_____
Answer Details
Herod Agrippa persecuted Peter primarily "to please the Jews." Herod Agrippa was a king of Judea who was known for his persecution of the early Christians, including the apostle Peter. According to the book of Acts in the New Testament, Herod arrested Peter and put him in prison with the intention of putting him on trial before the Jewish people. Herod's persecution of Peter was primarily motivated by his desire to appease the Jewish leaders and people, who were hostile towards the message of Jesus and the early Christian church. By putting Peter on trial and attempting to silence the spread of the gospel, Herod was trying to maintain his power and popularity among the Jewish people. In the end, however, Peter was miraculously freed from prison and continued to preach the gospel, despite Herod's efforts to stop him. This event serves as a testament to the power of God and the resilience of the early Christian church in the face of persecution.

Answer Details
In Matthew's account, John the Baptist's immediate reaction when Jesus came to be baptized was to ask that Jesus should rather baptize him. John the Baptist recognized Jesus as the Son of God and knew that he was not worthy to baptize Him. In Matthew 3:14-15, it says, "But John tried to deter him, saying, 'I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?' Jesus replied, 'Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.'" By asking Jesus to baptize him instead, John was acknowledging the authority of Jesus and the superiority of His divine status. Jesus' response also shows that it was necessary for Him to be baptized to fulfill all righteousness, which was the plan of God. Therefore, John's immediate reaction was to recognize and submit to Jesus' authority and to fulfill God's plan for righteousness.

"I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities". By this statement, God gave them ______
Answer Details
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 core of St Paul's advice on dignity of Labour is that
Answer Details
The core of St. Paul's advice on the dignity of labor is that Christians should be productive and work diligently in whatever occupation they have, as if they are working for the Lord. In the Bible, St. Paul emphasizes the importance of work and the need to avoid idleness. He encourages Christians to work hard, not just to support themselves, but also to support others who may be in need. St. Paul believed that labor was a way to honor God and to demonstrate love for others. In his letter to the Colossians, St. Paul wrote: "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving" (Colossians 3:23-24). St. Paul also worked hard himself, despite facing many challenges and difficulties, and encouraged others to follow his example. He wrote, "We were not idle when we were with you, nor did we eat anyone's food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you" (2 Thessalonians 3:7-9). Thus, the core of St. Paul's advice on the dignity of labor is that Christians should work hard and be productive in their occupations, not just to support themselves, but also to serve others and honor God.

Answer Details
The invasion of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and the carrying away of the treasures of the temple occurred during the reign of Jehoiachin. Jehoiachin was the son of King Jehoiakim and the grandson of King Josiah. He became king of Judah at the age of 18 and reigned for only three months before he surrendered to Nebuchadnezzar and was taken captive to Babylon along with many of the people of Judah. During the invasion, Nebuchadnezzar looted the temple in Jerusalem, taking away many of its treasures, including the golden vessels that had been used in worship. He also destroyed the temple and the city walls, and exiled many of the people of Judah to Babylon, leading to a period of exile for the Jewish people. In summary, Nebuchadnezzar's invasion and looting of the temple in Jerusalem occurred during the reign of Jehoiachin, the son of King Jehoiakim.
Question 38 Report
The triumphal entry was in fulfilment of the prophecy of_______
Answer Details
The triumphal entry refers to the event when Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey, just a few days before he was crucified. It is said to have fulfilled a prophecy from the Old Testament book of Zechariah. In Zechariah 9:9, it is written: "Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey." This prophecy was written hundreds of years before Jesus' birth and is believed by Christians to have been fulfilled by his triumphant entry into Jerusalem on a donkey, as recorded in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The people of Jerusalem, who were familiar with this prophecy, saw Jesus' entry on a donkey as a sign that he was the promised Messiah and King who would deliver them from their oppressors. They welcomed him with great joy and praised him as the Son of David, the rightful heir to the throne of Israel. Thus, the triumphal entry was seen as a significant event in the life of Jesus and in the fulfillment of biblical prophecy.

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