Answer Details
The names of the sons of Jacob listed in the book of Exodus excluded Joseph because the list covered only those who came to Egypt with Jacob. Joseph was already in Egypt, having been sold into slavery by his brothers and eventually rising to a position of power there. Thus, he was not included in the list of the sons of Jacob who migrated to Egypt with their families. However, Joseph's two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, were included in the list as heads of their own tribes.

The main lesson to be learned from Elijah's victory at Mount Carmel is the supremacy of the one true God over false gods.

Answer Details
Life in the early church was characterized by a communal spirit. The early church was founded on the teachings of Jesus Christ, and its members were known for their strong sense of community and fellowship. They shared their possessions and resources, and they supported one another in times of need. The Book of Acts describes how the early Christians would gather together regularly for worship, prayer, and fellowship. They would share meals together and help each other with their daily needs. This communal spirit was not just limited to the early days of the church; it continued to be a hallmark of Christian life for centuries. In addition to their strong sense of community, early Christians were also known for their commitment to honesty and peace. They were called to be peacemakers and to love their neighbors as themselves. Many early Christians also engaged in prophetic activities, such as speaking out against injustice and advocating for the marginalized and oppressed. Fasting and alms-giving were also important practices in the early church, as they were seen as ways to demonstrate one's devotion to God and to help those in need. In summary, life in the early church was characterized by a strong sense of community, honesty, and peace. Early Christians shared their resources and supported one another, while also engaging in prophetic activities and demonstrating their devotion to God through fasting and alms-giving.

Answer Details
Peter believed that God appreciates and gives credit to servants who suffer for wrongs not done. This is demonstrated in 1 Peter 2:19-20 where Peter tells servants to submit to their masters, even when they are treated unjustly, and to endure the suffering patiently. Peter goes on to explain that when they do this, and endure unjust suffering without retaliating, they are following the example of Christ and pleasing God. Therefore, God gives credit to those who suffer for doing what is right, even if they are wrongly accused or mistreated.

"Put me I pray you in one of the priest's places that I may eat a morsel of bread" Who made this prophecy and to whom was it made?
Answer Details
This statement was made by a man of God to Eli the priest in 1 Samuel 2:27-36. The man of God brought a message from God to Eli, warning him of the judgment that was to come upon his household for the sins committed by his sons, Hophni and Phineas. The man of God told Eli that his descendants would be cut off from serving as priests, and that his two sons would both die on the same day. The man of God then made the statement, "Put me I pray you in one of the priest's places that I may eat a morsel of bread," as a way of showing Eli that he was a true prophet and had the authority to speak for God.
Question 14 Report
Saul lied to Samuel when he (Saul)
Answer Details
Saul lied to Samuel when he said that he had utterly destroyed the Amalekites. In the book of 1 Samuel in the Old Testament of the Bible, God commanded Saul to completely destroy the Amalekites and all their possessions as punishment for their wickedness. However, Saul and his soldiers spared the king of the Amalekites and some of the best livestock. When Samuel came to confront Saul about this disobedience, Saul claimed that he had obeyed God's command and had completely destroyed the Amalekites. Samuel, however, knew that Saul was lying and rebuked him for his disobedience. Saul's lie showed that he was more concerned with his own interests than with obeying God's commands. His disobedience and dishonesty ultimately led to his downfall as king. In summary, Saul lied to Samuel when he claimed to have completely destroyed the Amalekites, even though he had spared the king and some of the best livestock. This lie demonstrated Saul's disobedience and lack of concern for God's commands.

The wife of Phineas named her premature child Ichabod because Israel had lost the Ark and her husband. In the book of 1 Samuel, it was recorded that the Ark of the Covenant was captured by the Philistines in a battle with the Israelites, and Phineas, the son of Eli the high priest, was killed in the same battle. When his wife heard the news, she went into labor and gave birth to a son. She named the child Ichabod, which means "the glory has departed," indicating that the glory of the Lord had departed from Israel with the loss of the Ark and her husband.
Question 17 Report
"I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities". This statement means 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 caused a famine in the land, which resulted in the people having no food to eat. "Cleanness of teeth" refers to the fact that when someone does not have anything to eat, their teeth remain clean because they are not being used to chew any food. So, this statement is a metaphorical way of saying that God had caused a famine in the land, and the people were suffering from hunger.

In James 2:5, it is written "Listen, my dear brothers and sisters: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him?" James is reminding Christians that God values the poor and their faith, and that they will inherit the kingdom of God. Therefore, Christians should not look down on the poor, but instead treat them with respect and love, just as God does.

Solomon told Hiram, King of Tyre that he had decided to build a temple for the Lord because the Lord had given him peace and all good things. King Solomon recognized the need for a permanent house of worship for the Lord, and he had the resources to construct it. In 1 Kings 5:3-5, Solomon wrote to Hiram, "You know how my father David could not build a house for the name of the Lord his God because of the wars which were fought against him on every side, until the Lord put them under the soles of his feet. But now the Lord my God has given me rest on every side; there is neither adversary nor evil occurrence."

Answer Details
The appointment of deacons in the Early Church was meant to check discrimination and favoritism. In Acts 6, there was a complaint about the unfair distribution of food to the widows of two different groups of believers. The apostles decided to appoint seven men to oversee the distribution of food to ensure that all widows were cared for equally. These seven men were the first deacons appointed in the Early Church. By appointing deacons, the apostles were able to delegate responsibility for practical matters, allowing them to focus on preaching the Gospel and prayer. Additionally, the appointment of deacons from different backgrounds, including Hellenistic Jews, demonstrated that the Church was open to people from all backgrounds and was not favoring one group over another.

Question 37 Report
Which of the following distinctly demonstrates the episode of Shedrach, Meshack and Abednego?
Answer Details
The episode of Shedrach, Meshack and Abednego in the Bible distinctly demonstrates the complete trust in God and God's ability to save his servants. In the book of Daniel in the Old Testament of the Bible, Shedrach, Meshack and Abednego were three Jewish men who refused to worship the golden statue of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. As punishment, the king ordered them to be thrown into a fiery furnace. However, even as they were about to be thrown in, the three men declared their faith in God and said that even if God did not save them, they would not worship the king's statue. Miraculously, God did save them. As they were in the furnace, a fourth figure appeared, described as "like a son of the gods" (Daniel 3:25), and protected them from the flames. When they emerged unharmed, even their clothes untouched by fire, the king was amazed and declared that the God of the Jews was the true God. This episode demonstrates the complete trust in God that the three men had, even in the face of death, and God's ability to save his servants who have faith in Him. It also highlights the power of God and the weakness of earthly kings, who cannot compare to the Almighty God. Therefore, the distinctly demonstrated episode of Shedrach, Meshack and Abednego in the Bible is their complete trust in God and God's ability to save his servants who have faith in Him.

Question 40 Report
The tearing of the temple curtain into two meant
Answer Details
The tearing of the temple curtain into two meant that there was now open access to God. According to the Bible's accounts of Jesus' crucifixion, the temple curtain, which separated the Holy of Holies (the inner sanctum of the temple) from the rest of the temple, was torn in two from top to bottom at the moment of Jesus' death. This event was significant because it symbolized the opening of direct access to God for all people, rather than limited access through the high priest and sacrificial system. The tearing of the temple curtain was seen as a divine act, indicating that the barrier between God and humanity had been removed through Jesus' sacrifice. It also marked the end of the old covenant (the old system of religious laws and rituals) and the beginning of a new covenant based on faith in Jesus Christ. Therefore, the tearing of the temple curtain into two meant that there was now open access to God, and that all people could now approach Him directly through faith in Jesus Christ.

This is a reminder that even in good times, we should remember to acknowledge and appreciate God's blessings in our lives.
Question 42 Report
The boy Moses was hidden for three months because
Answer Details
The boy Moses was hidden for three months because Pharaoh had decreed the murder of Hebrew male borns. According to the Bible's book of Exodus, the Israelites had become slaves in Egypt and their population was growing. Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, became concerned that the Hebrews were becoming too numerous and might pose a threat to his rule. He ordered that all Hebrew male infants be thrown into the Nile River. Moses was born to Hebrew parents during this time, and his mother and sister hid him for three months to keep him safe from Pharaoh's decree. When they could no longer keep him hidden, they placed him in a basket and set him afloat on the Nile. He was eventually found by Pharaoh's daughter and raised as a prince in the Egyptian court, until he later fled Egypt and eventually became a prophet and leader of the Israelites. Therefore, the reason why the boy Moses was hidden for three months was to protect him from Pharaoh's cruel decree, which sought to eliminate Hebrew male infants, and to give him a chance at life.

"Don't be afraid, henceforth you will be catching men". "Catching men" means capturing men
Answer Details
When Jesus told his disciples "Don't be afraid, henceforth you will be catching men", he did not mean capturing men in a physical sense, but rather in a spiritual sense. "Catching men" means leading people to the Christian faith, spreading the gospel to non-believers and bringing them closer to God. In other words, Jesus was telling his disciples that they would become fishers of men, or evangelists, by sharing the good news of the gospel with others and bringing them into the faith.

As a loyal soldier, Uriah refused to indulge in the comfort of his home and his wife while his fellow soldiers were in battle. He felt that it would be a betrayal to his oath and to his fellow soldiers who were still fighting, and that it would be wrong for him to put his personal comfort above his duty to his country and his comrades.

Question 46 Report
The sons of Samuel misused their privileged positions by
Answer Details
The sons of Samuel misused their privileged positions by engaging in bribery and false judgment. In the Old Testament of the Bible, Samuel was a prophet and judge who anointed Saul and later David as kings of Israel. Samuel had two sons, Joel and Abijah, who were appointed as judges in Beersheba. However, they did not follow in their father's righteous ways and instead misused their positions of power. Specifically, the Bible states that they "took bribes and perverted justice" (1 Samuel 8:3). This means that they accepted money or other favors in exchange for making false judgments in legal cases. This is a serious abuse of power and a violation of their duty to administer justice fairly. Their actions were a major factor in the people of Israel calling for a king to rule over them instead of judges. This led to the anointing of Saul as the first king of Israel. Therefore, the sons of Samuel misused their privileged positions by engaging in bribery and false judgment, which violated their duty to administer justice fairly.

Gehazi, on the other hand, secretly followed Naaman and lied to him, asking for some of the gifts. Naaman gave him twice as much as he asked for, but when Gehazi returned, Elisha knew of his deceit and greed. As a result, Elisha cursed Gehazi with Naaman's leprosy, and Gehazi became a leper for the rest of his life.

Question 50 Report
Which prophet did Peter quote when he preached on Pentecost day about the spirit falling upon all men?
Answer Details
Peter quoted the prophet Joel when he preached on Pentecost day about the spirit falling upon all men. In the New Testament of the Bible, the book of Acts describes how the Holy Spirit came upon the apostles and other believers on the day of Pentecost, which was a Jewish festival. As a result, the believers were able to speak in different languages, and many people from different nations were able to understand them and hear the message of the gospel. In his sermon, Peter explained to the crowd that this event was the fulfillment of the prophecy of the prophet Joel, who had foretold that God would pour out His Spirit on all people in the last days. Peter quoted from Joel 2:28-32, which says that God will pour out His Spirit on all people, young and old, male and female, and that those who call on the name of the Lord will be saved. By quoting Joel's prophecy, Peter was emphasizing that the coming of the Holy Spirit was a sign of the fulfillment of God's promises and the beginning of a new era in which the gospel would be preached to all nations. In summary, Peter quoted the prophet Joel when he preached on Pentecost day about the spirit falling upon all men. He used Joel's prophecy to explain the significance of the coming of the Holy Spirit and to show that it was a fulfillment of God's promises.
