Question 2 Report

The King of Judah who witnessed the second deportation was

Jehoiachin

Zedekiah

Gedaliah

Jehoikim

Hoshea

Answer Details

The King of Judah who witnessed the second deportation was Zedekiah. After the Babylonians had conquered Judah's capital city, Jerusalem, for the first time, they had exiled many of the elite Jews to Babylon, including the young Jehoiachin. Jehoiachin's uncle, Zedekiah, was then appointed by the Babylonians as the new king of Judah. However, Zedekiah later rebelled against Babylon, leading to a second Babylonian invasion of Judah. During this invasion, the Babylonians destroyed the temple and much of Jerusalem and exiled even more Jews to Babylon, including Zedekiah himself. Thus, Zedekiah was the King of Judah who witnessed the second deportation.

Question 4 Report

in which of the following ways was John to identify Jesus as the Lamb of God?

he will see a lad coming to baptism with a lamb

he will see a man casting out demons

The Spirit of the Lord will descend on him like a dove

Jesus would be head and shoulder above other people

Jeus would be baptizing people with the Holy Spirit

Answer Details

John was to identify Jesus as the Lamb of God through the descent of the Spirit of the Lord upon Him like a dove. This is the answer because the Gospel of John chapter 1 verse 32 says "And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him." This was a sign that was given to John by God to confirm Jesus as the Son of God and the promised Messiah. The other options mentioned are not directly related to John identifying Jesus as the Lamb of God.

Question 7 Report

Jesus in the sermon on the Mount, asked Christians to rejoice in the face of false accusation because

God will fight their cause

He Himself suffered in a similar fashion

suffering is part and parcel of everyday life

their reward of eternal life is assured

they are the light of the world

Answer Details

In the sermon on the Mount, Jesus asked Christians to rejoice in the face of false accusation because they would be rewarded in heaven. He Himself suffered in a similar fashion, and He knew that false accusation could be discouraging and hurtful. However, Jesus encouraged His followers to not only endure false accusation but also to rejoice in it, knowing that their reward in heaven would be great. This is because when Christians suffer for their faith, they are demonstrating their commitment to Christ and their willingness to endure hardship for His sake. Jesus assured His followers that they would be blessed and rewarded for their faithfulness, even in the face of false accusation. Therefore, Christians can take heart and rejoice, knowing that their suffering is not in vain and that their reward in heaven is assured.

Question 8 Report

'I will take you, one from a city and two from a family, and i will bring you to Zion'. These words of Jeremiah implies that

a few remnants will return from exile to Jerusalem

God will take some people from Judah into exile

some sons of Judah will prophesy in Zion

only a few in Jerusalem will escape the exile

God will remain faithful to a few in Israel

Answer Details

The words of Jeremiah "I will take you, one from a city and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion" imply that only a few remnants will return from exile to Jerusalem. These words were spoken to the Israelites when they were facing exile and captivity in Babylon. God promised to bring a small remnant of his people back to their homeland in Zion, which is Jerusalem. The phrase "one from a city and two from a family" suggests that only a few individuals will be chosen from each city and family to return to Zion. Therefore, this passage emphasizes God's faithfulness to his people, despite their disobedience, and the hope of restoration that awaits them.

The spiritual gift of hearing is not enumerated by Paul in the first Epistle to the Corinthians. In this epistle, Paul lists several spiritual gifts, including the utterance of wisdom, the gift of healing, prophecy, and speaking in tongues, among others. However, the gift of hearing is not mentioned. It's important to note that although Paul's list is not exhaustive, it does provide a good starting point for understanding the variety of spiritual gifts that God can bestow upon individuals to help build up the church and serve others.

the Jewish leaders will never know what makes for peace

men will come from the East and West into the Kingdom

the days were coming when no stone will be left on another in Jerusalem

They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God's coming to you." (Luke 19:43-44). Therefore, the correct option is that the days were coming when no stone would be left on another in Jerusalem.

Question 11 Report

whenever Jesus cleansed leapers, he charged them to return home to

their relatives

show themselves to the Levites

announce their cleansing to the people

give thanks offering to God

present themselves and gifts to the priest

Answer Details

Whenever Jesus cleansed lepers, he charged them to go and show themselves to the priest. In the time of Jesus, leprosy was a serious illness that made a person unclean and excluded them from the community. The only way for a leper to be considered clean and accepted back into the community was for a priest to examine them and declare them cured. So, when Jesus healed a leper, he instructed them to go and show themselves to the priest as proof of their healing and to be reinstated into the community. By doing this, Jesus was demonstrating not only his miraculous power but also his respect for the religious laws and customs of his time. Therefore, we can say that whenever Jesus cleansed lepers, he charged them to go and show themselves to the priest, as this was the only way for them to be declared clean and welcomed back into the community.

The appearance of Moses and Elijah with Jesus symbolizes that Jesus is the fulfillment of the law and the prophets, and that His ministry is the continuation and fulfillment of God's plan for salvation. It also shows that Jesus is the promised Messiah and that His mission is to bring salvation to humanity. The Transfiguration was a revelation of Jesus' divine glory to His disciples, and it confirmed His authority and mission as the Son of God.

Question 16 Report

Paul's example of humility in his Epistle to the Philippians is

Jesus taking the form of a servant

counting oneself as superior to others

reckoning what is best for oneself

Jesus claiming equality with God

Jesus rising up in glory

Answer Details

The example of humility in Paul's Epistle to the Philippians is Jesus taking the form of a servant. In chapter 2, verses 5-8, Paul describes how Jesus, who was in the form of God, emptied himself and took on the form of a servant by becoming human. This act of selflessness and sacrifice is the ultimate example of humility, as Jesus put aside his divine status and willingly served others, even to the point of death on the cross. Paul uses this example to encourage the Philippians to follow Jesus' example and live lives of humility and service to others.

Answer Details

According to the Epistle to the Galatians, being baptized into Christ means putting on a Christ-like life. This means that when someone is baptized, they are symbolically burying their old self and rising to live a new life in Christ. This new life is characterized by love, compassion, forgiveness, and a desire to follow Christ's teachings. It is not about race, descent from Abraham, rising in corruption, or discrimination between sexes. It is about becoming a new person in Christ and living a life that reflects His teachings and example.

Answer Details

Paul's final recorded sermon was delivered at a place called "Antioch". Antioch was an ancient city located in modern-day Turkey. It was a significant center for early Christianity and was the place where the followers of Jesus Christ were first called "Christians." In Acts 13:14-52, the book of Acts in the New Testament of the Bible, it is recorded that Paul and his companion Barnabas visited Antioch during one of their missionary journeys. While there, Paul preached a sermon to the people in the synagogue, explaining the message of salvation through Jesus Christ. This was one of the last recorded sermons delivered by Paul before his death.

Question 19 Report

Jesus condemned empty phrases in prayer because

God does not answer long prayer

God has foreknowledge of all our needs

they show lack of concentration

they are a way of showing off in public

he had taught his followers the model of prayer

Answer Details

Jesus condemned empty phrases in prayer because they are a way of showing off in public. He taught his followers to pray with sincerity and humility, and not to pray in a way that would draw attention to themselves. In Matthew 6:5-6, Jesus says, "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen." Here, Jesus is teaching his followers to pray in private and not to make a public display of their prayer. Empty phrases or long prayers do not impress God, as he already knows our needs and desires. Therefore, Jesus condemned empty phrases in prayer as they are a way of showing off in public, and are not in line with the sincere and humble prayer that he taught his followers.

'To Christians who live among unbelievers, Peter recommends

submission to tyranny

freedom from the law

passive resistance

good conduct

self praise

Answer Details

Peter recommends good conduct to Christians who live among unbelievers. This means that Christians should strive to live a virtuous life, following the teachings of Jesus and showing kindness, honesty, and love to everyone around them. Good conduct also includes respecting the laws of the land and authorities, unless they conflict with God's commands. Christians should not engage in self-praise or promote themselves, but rather, their actions should speak for themselves. Passive resistance may be appropriate in some circumstances, but Christians should not seek to overthrow or rebel against the government or other authority figures. Ultimately, Christians should strive to be a positive influence on their communities and demonstrate the love of God in all that they do.

Question 22 Report

The relevance of the Temptation to the Baptism of Jesus was that

the Devil used the Temptation to make Christ prove His divinity as revealed in the Baptism

Jesus' hunger during the Temptation disproved the claim , at Baptism, that God was pleased with him

both were physical experiences of Jesus at the very beginning of his public ministry

the same Spirit which fell on Jesus at Baptism also tempted him in the widerness

The Spirit of God which fell in Jesus at Baptism left Him for a while, thus allowing the devil to tempt him

Answer Details

The relevance of the Temptation to the Baptism of Jesus was that both were physical experiences of Jesus at the very beginning of his public ministry. At his baptism, Jesus was publicly recognized as the Son of God, and the Holy Spirit descended upon him. This event marked the beginning of his ministry, and he was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. The temptation was a physical and spiritual trial that tested Jesus' faithfulness to God and his commitment to his mission. In Matthew 4:2, it says that Jesus fasted for forty days and nights, and was hungry. The devil then tempted him to turn stones into bread, to test his hunger. Jesus resisted the temptation, and the devil tempted him twice more before leaving him. The Temptation and the Baptism of Jesus were significant events that marked the beginning of his public ministry and demonstrated his faithfulness to God. Therefore, the correct answer is that the relevance of the Temptation to the Baptism of Jesus was that both were physical experiences of Jesus at the very beginning of his public ministry.

Paul considered himself unfit to be called an apostle because he

persecuted the church of God

was the least among the Jewish race

was timely born

did not know Jesus

Answer Details

Paul considered himself unfit to be called an apostle because he persecuted the church of God before his conversion. Paul, who was previously known as Saul, had actively persecuted and arrested Christians before his encounter with Jesus Christ on the road to Damascus. In 1 Corinthians 15:9, Paul says, "For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God." Here, Paul acknowledges his past actions and feels unworthy of being called an apostle. However, through the grace of God, he was able to become an apostle and spread the message of Jesus Christ to many people. Therefore, the correct answer is that Paul considered himself unfit to be called an apostle because he persecuted the church of God.

Answer Details

When Pharaoh's daughter saw Moses in the basket, she immediately had pity on him. She recognized that he was a Hebrew baby and knew that her father had commanded that all Hebrew baby boys should be killed. Instead of following this command, she decided to take Moses as her own son and raise him as an Egyptian. Pharaoh's daughter showed great compassion and kindness towards Moses, and her actions ultimately saved his life. Therefore, we can say that Pharaoh's daughter had pity on Moses when she saw him in the basket, and this led her to take him in as her own son.

Answer Details

In the Epistle to Colossians, Paul admonished Christians to put to death earthly things such as fornication, covetousness, impurity, and passion. However, he did not admonish Christians to put to death lowliness. Instead, he urged them to put on virtues such as compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. By urging Christians to put to death earthly things, Paul is encouraging them to turn away from behaviors and attitudes that are contrary to the teachings of Christ and to focus on living a life that is pleasing to God. The list of things to put to death is not exhaustive, but it gives a good starting point for understanding the kinds of behaviors and attitudes that Christians should avoid in order to live a life that is pleasing to God.

In other words, he wanted them to trust in God and believe that He is able to take care of them and their worries. Peter's other teachings included asking young people to clothe themselves with humility, urging Christians to humble themselves under the mighty hand of God, firmly resist the devil, recognize that suffering is part of Christian life, and know that God opposes the proud and gives grace to the meek.

Moses

Deuteronomy

Answer Details

The book being referred to in the statement is the book of life. The book of life is a term used in the Bible to describe a book in which God records the names of all those who are saved and have eternal life. It is also sometimes referred to as the Lamb's Book of Life. In the statement, the speaker is asking God to forgive the sins of a group of people and to include them in the book of life. If God chooses not to forgive them, the speaker requests that his own name be removed from the book of life as a sign of solidarity with those who are not forgiven. The statement shows the depth of the speaker's love and concern for others, and their willingness to sacrifice their own salvation for the sake of others.

God's creative ability was manifested by His

approving that a thing be done

commanding word prefaced by 'there be'

ordering the Holy Spirit to act

choosing the better of two alternative models

allowing created things to evolve naturally

Answer Details

God's creative ability was manifested by His commanding word prefaced by 'there be.' In the book of Genesis, it is written that God created the heavens and the earth by speaking them into existence. For example, when God created light, He said, "Let there be light," and there was light. Similarly, when He created the sky, He said, "Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water," and it was so. This shows that God's creative power is so great that He can bring things into existence simply by speaking them into being. The phrase "let there be" is a clear expression of God's creative authority and His ability to make something out of nothing.

Answer Details

After Joseph had revealed himself to his brothers, he kissed all his brothers and wept. This emotional scene is recorded in the book of Genesis, where Joseph, who had been sold into slavery by his brothers, revealed his true identity to them. Initially, his brothers were afraid and distressed, not knowing how Joseph would react to them. But Joseph reassured them, saying that God had used their evil actions to bring about good. He then wept as he embraced each of his brothers, showing his forgiveness and love for them. This act of kindness and mercy towards his brothers is a powerful example of the grace and compassion that can be found in forgiveness, even after years of betrayal and hardship.

The priest and the Levite ignored the injured traveller because they held their ceremonial laws in high regard. According to their beliefs, they were not allowed to touch a dead body or come in contact with blood, which could make them "unclean." So, even if they noticed the injured man, they might have been afraid of breaking these laws and becoming impure. They put their religious beliefs above helping a person in need.

Amos described true religion as

being just and righteous

singing of praises to God

Answer Details

Amos described true religion as being just and righteous. In the book of Amos, the prophet criticizes the Israelites for their false worship and their lack of justice and righteousness. He condemns their hypocritical religious practices, such as engaging in sacrifice and burnt offerings, and instead emphasizes the importance of doing what is right and just. Amos calls on the people of Israel to seek justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. He reminds them that true religion is not just about external rituals and ceremonies, but also about living a life that is pleasing to God. Therefore, true religion involves doing what is right and just, showing compassion and mercy to others, and walking in humility before God.

It is not because of Philemon's lack of forgiveness towards Onesimus, admiration for his runaway slave, or any pretended goodness. Paul appreciated Philemon's devotion to Christ, which likely influenced his willingness to forgive and show love to others, including Onesimus.

Answer Details

According to the biblical account in 2 Kings 23, God still punished Judah despite Josiah's religious reforms because Judah had committed many sins, including idolatry, shedding innocent blood, and practicing witchcraft. Although Josiah had overturned the religious policies of his father Manasseh and made efforts to eradicate idolatry and restore the worship of the true God, the people of Judah had already gone too far in their disobedience, and their faithlessness had become unpardonable in God's eyes. Additionally, Judah had also sold herself to foreign powers and continued to participate in sinful practices despite Josiah's efforts, leading to God's judgment upon the nation.

Answer Details

In his epistle to the Romans, Paul encouraged Christians to use their talents in various ways to serve the Lord. Among these ways, he never advocated thinking of oneself with pride. Instead, he emphasized the importance of thinking of oneself with sober judgement, using our talents in proportion to our faith, making individual contributions liberally, and serving the Lord with cheerfulness. Thinking of oneself with pride can lead to selfishness and a lack of willingness to serve others, which is contrary to the Christian values of humility and service.
