Which of the following did not feature in James' teaching on faith without works?
Answer Details
The option that did not feature in James' teaching on faith without works is "presenting sin offerings to God". James taught that faith without works is dead and that true faith should be demonstrated by good works. He gave examples of how faith and works are intertwined, such as Abraham's willingness to offer his only son and Rahab's handling of the two spies. He also mentioned the belief by the demons that there is one God, which is not enough for salvation because they do not demonstrate their faith through good works. However, he did not mention presenting sin offerings to God as an example of demonstrating faith through good works.

Answer Details
The three Jews thrown into the fiery furnace came out unhurt because of their faith and confidence. When King Nebuchadnezzar threatened to throw Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego into a fiery furnace for not worshipping his idol, they refused to bow down and instead professed their faith in God. The king was enraged and ordered the furnace to be heated up seven times hotter than usual. However, when the three were thrown into the furnace, they were not harmed. In fact, the king saw a fourth figure in the furnace who appeared like a son of the gods. This shows that the three Jews had faith in God and were confident that He would protect them, which He did.

St. Paul's belief in the reality of the Resurrection makes him assert that if there were no resurrection then
Answer Details
In 1 Corinthians, St. Paul argues that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is a fundamental tenet of the Christian faith, and without it, the faith itself would be meaningless. He further argues that if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ himself has not been raised from the dead, and if Christ has not been raised, then the Christian faith is in vain. Moreover, if Christ has not been raised, then believers' faith is futile, and they are still in their sins. Finally, if there is no resurrection, then Christians who have already died have perished, and their faith and hope in Christ were for nothing. Therefore, St. Paul asserts that the resurrection of Christ is a critical element of the Christian faith, and without it, the faith itself would be meaningless.

Question 11 Report
Which of the following was not indicative of Solomon's proverbial wisdom?
Answer Details
The option that was not indicative of Solomon's proverbial wisdom was "Building of temples for his foreign deities". This is because building temples for foreign gods goes against the worship of the one true God, which is the foundation of wisdom according to Solomon. The other options, such as the utterance of thousands of proverbs and the construction of the magnificent temple for the Lord, demonstrate his wisdom and devotion to God. Additionally, his judgment in the case of the two harlots showcases his wisdom in discerning the truth and making a just decision.

Answer Details
The eating of the scroll by prophet Ezekiel was an indication that he must digest what is inside the scroll before communicating it to others. In other words, he needed to internalize the message of the scroll before he could preach it to the people. The act of eating the scroll symbolizes the complete absorption of the message, and the subsequent sharing of the message comes from within, as it has become a part of the prophet. Therefore, the eating of the scroll was a visual representation of the prophet's responsibility to fully understand and internalize the message before sharing it with others.

Answer Details
The trial of Jesus was transferred from the High Priest's court to Pilate because the High Priest and the Sanhedrin did not have the authority to impose the death penalty, which was what they were seeking for Jesus. Therefore, they brought Jesus to Pilate, the Roman Governor, who had the power to impose the death penalty. Additionally, Pilate was the representative of the Roman Empire in the region, so it was necessary for him to be involved in such a serious case involving a potential threat to the peace and order of the region.

Answer Details
The scribe and the priest who saw a wounded traveler on the roadside passed by him because he was in a position to defile them. In the parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus tells the story of a man who was beaten, robbed, and left for dead on the side of the road. A priest and a Levite passed by the injured man without helping him, but a Samaritan, who was despised by the Jews, stopped to care for him. The reason why the priest and the Levite did not help the man was that they were concerned about becoming ceremonially unclean by touching him, as he was bleeding and they were on their way to perform their religious duties.

So, he called Uriah back from the battle and encouraged him to go home and spend time with his wife. David's plan was that Uriah would sleep with Bathsheba, and then the child that was born would be considered Uriah's. However, Uriah was too loyal to his fellow soldiers to enjoy such pleasures while they were still in the field of battle. So, David had to devise another plan to cover up his sin.

Answer Details
Jesus admonished believers not to practice religious piety in public, otherwise they would have their reward from men instead of from God. In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus specifically warns against practicing one's piety in front of others to be seen by them, such as giving to the needy or praying. He encourages believers to do these things in private so that their heavenly Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward them. The emphasis is on genuine humility and piety, rather than seeking recognition or praise from others.

If a town rejected them, they were to leave and shake off the dust from their feet as a testimony against them.

Answer Details
The circumstances that led to the Council of Jerusalem was the preaching of Judaizers about the rite of circumcision. Judaizers were a group of Jewish Christians who taught that Gentile believers needed to be circumcised and follow Jewish customs in order to be saved. This caused a disagreement and controversy within the early Christian community, particularly between Paul and some of the Jewish Christians who were promoting this idea. The Council of Jerusalem was called to address this issue and determine whether or not Gentile believers needed to follow Jewish customs, particularly circumcision, in order to be considered part of the Christian community.

After Stephen's death, the persecution against the church in Jerusalem intensified, causing many believers to scatter to other regions, which resulted in the spread of the Gospel beyond Jerusalem. This event led to the expansion of the early church beyond its Jewish origins and into the Gentile world, fulfilling Jesus' command to take the Gospel to all nations. Additionally, the scattering of the believers resulted in the establishment of new churches and the strengthening of existing ones. Thus, the death of Stephen, though tragic, led to the growth and strengthening of the church, making it more of a blessing than a curse.

Jesus walked on the sea to show his disciples that he was in control. According to the Bible, Jesus' disciples were in a boat, and a strong wind was blowing. Suddenly, they saw Jesus walking on the water towards them, and they were frightened, thinking they had seen a ghost. Jesus reassured them, saying, "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid." (Matthew 14:27). Peter then asked Jesus to command him to come out on the water too. Jesus agreed, and Peter walked on the water towards Jesus, but when he saw the wind, he became afraid and began to sink. Jesus reached out his hand and caught him, saying, "You of little faith, why did you doubt?" (Matthew 14:31). Through this miracle, Jesus demonstrated his power and authority over the elements, and he proved to his disciples that he was in control even in the midst of the storm.

Paul taught in Galatians that the law was a custodian until Christ came, that we might be justified by faith. In other words, Paul is saying that the law served as a temporary guardian, leading us to Christ who would justify us by faith. Prior to Christ, people relied on the law to guide them, but now we are justified by faith in Christ rather than by following the law. Therefore, we no longer have to live according to the dictates of the law, but rather we are called to live by faith in Christ.

Justification by faith means being accepted by God based on faith in Jesus Christ rather than by any works or righteousness that we may have. It is through grace that we are justified, meaning that it is a gift from God that we receive by faith. This is in contrast to the idea that we can earn our salvation through good works or by following the law.
