Answer Details
Through God the Christian is no longer a slave but a son, and if a son then he is an heir. This statement is based on the teachings of the Bible, particularly in the New Testament where it explains that when one accepts Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, they become adopted into God's family and are no longer slaves to sin but are considered children of God. As a child of God, one becomes an heir of God's kingdom and is entitled to inherit the blessings and promises of God. This inheritance includes eternal life, forgiveness of sins, peace, joy, and all the spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus.

Answer Details
The parable of the rich man and Lazarus indicates that death is a leveller for rich and poor. The parable tells the story of a rich man who ignored a poor beggar named Lazarus, who was covered with sores and lay outside his gate. After both men died, the rich man went to Hades and was tormented, while Lazarus went to Abraham's side in heaven. The parable highlights that the rich man, who had enjoyed all the comforts of life on earth, was now suffering in the afterlife, while the poor man, who had suffered during his life, was now comforted. Thus, the parable teaches that wealth and status in life do not determine one's fate in the afterlife.

Answer Details
Elijah destroyed the prophets of Baal to oppose Baal worship. The incident happened in the Old Testament of the Bible, in the book of 1 Kings 18.
