"Blessed are the peace makers for

theirs is the kingdom of God

Answer Details

In the Beatitudes from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, "Blessed are the peacemakers" means that those who work for peace and reconciliation among people are blessed and considered as children of God. This is because peacemakers demonstrate the qualities of Christ, who is the Prince of Peace. They seek to promote harmony, healing, and restoration in relationships, families, communities, and nations. By doing so, they reflect the nature of God and contribute to the building of a more just and peaceful world. The phrase concludes with the promise that they will be called the children of God, indicating that their actions align with the will of God and reflect His character.

Question 5 Report

Those who made a false report about Daniel were in the end

warned and demoted

cast into the Lion's den

made to worship God of Daniel

Killed by the King

Answer Details

Those who made a false report about Daniel were cast into the Lion's den in the end. The false report was made because of their jealousy towards Daniel and his position in the government. They plotted against him and convinced the king to sign a decree that prohibited anyone from making a petition to any god or man other than the king for 30 days. Daniel disobeyed the decree and continued to pray to God. As a result, he was thrown into the Lion's den. However, God protected him and he was unharmed. The ones who made the false report were then thrown into the Lion's den themselves, and were killed by the lions. This showed that God is a just God who protects those who are faithful to Him and punishes those who seek to harm His people.

In 1 Peter, the apostle encourages Christians to rejoice in the sharing of Christ's suffering, so that they may also rejoice when his glory is revealed. This means that Christians should not be discouraged or ashamed if they face persecution or hardship for their faith, but rather they should consider it an honor to share in the same kind of suffering that Christ endured. By sharing in Christ's sufferings, Christians can look forward to the day when Christ returns and his glory is fully revealed, at which time they will be able to share in his joy and triumph.

Jesus' reference to Lazarus as "fallen asleep" meant that Lazarus

had backslidden

was very sick

Answer Details

When Jesus referred to Lazarus as "fallen asleep," he meant that Lazarus had passed away or died. This was a common metaphor used in biblical times to describe death, as sleep is seen as a temporary state that one can eventually wake up from, just as death is seen as a temporary state that one can eventually be resurrected from. Jesus used this metaphor to prepare his disciples and others for the miracle he was about to perform, raising Lazarus from the dead.

Hosea compared Israel's love for God to a "morning cloud". A morning cloud is a cloud that appears in the sky in the morning but quickly disappears as the day progresses. Hosea used this analogy to describe how Israel's love for God was temporary and superficial, as they would often turn away from Him and worship other gods. Just like a morning cloud, their love for God was fleeting and did not last.

Question 15 Report

According to the Mosaic law,the only authority to declare a leper healed was

Jesus

the Emperor

the priest

the elders

Answer Details

According to the Mosaic law, the only authority to declare a leper healed was the priest. In ancient Israel, leprosy was considered a highly contagious disease and lepers were ostracized from society. The Mosaic law provided strict regulations for dealing with leprosy, and the priest played a central role in the process of determining whether someone was healed from the disease. Once a person was suspected of having leprosy, he or she would be examined by the priest who would declare them "unclean." If the person was later healed, they would need to present themselves to the priest who would perform a ritual to declare them "clean" and allow them to re-enter society.

James taught that pure religion is a combination of work and faith. In James 1:27, he states that "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James emphasizes the importance of not only believing in God but also living out one's faith through good works, especially by caring for those in need. Thus, pure religion is not just about praying or offering sacrifices, but also about putting one's faith into action through works of compassion and kindness towards others.

The parable of the reckoning of the cost of building a house was used by Jesus to illustrate the statement "Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple".

Who among the following carried out a religious reform in Judah

Jonah

Josiah

Answer Details

The person who carried out a religious reform in Judah was Josiah. He was one of the kings of Judah who reigned in the late 7th century BCE. During his reign, he initiated religious reforms that aimed at restoring the worship of Yahweh as the sole God of the Israelites. He removed all the foreign gods and their symbols from the temple in Jerusalem and prohibited the worship of them. He also destroyed the shrines and altars of other gods in the cities of Judah. This religious reform was based on the rediscovery of the book of the law during the repair of the temple, which had been neglected for a long time. The book was believed to be the law given to Moses by God. Josiah's religious reforms were significant in shaping the religious practices and beliefs of the Israelites in Judah.

Answer Details

According to St. Paul, "Grace" is a free gift from God for the man of faith. It is an unmerited favor that God bestows upon believers, which they do not deserve and cannot earn. Grace is seen as a central concept in Christianity, representing God's love and mercy towards humanity. It is believed that through God's grace, believers can receive forgiveness of sins and eternal salvation. Grace is therefore a fundamental part of Christian theology, and is viewed as a key element in the relationship between God and humanity.
