In the mission of the seventy disciples, according to St. Luke, Jesus specifically sent them to every town and place where he was about to go. Jesus wanted his disciples to go ahead of him and prepare the way for his arrival. They were to heal the sick and proclaim the message of the kingdom of God to the people. Jesus wanted the people to know that he was coming to bring salvation and to show them the love of God. Therefore, the mission of the seventy disciples was to be the messengers of Jesus, preparing people's hearts for his arrival and demonstrating the power of God through healing and preaching.

Akọwa Nkọwa
King Josiah was commended by the Deuteronomic historians because he discovered a book of the law during the repair of the temple in Jerusalem, and he followed its teachings by purging the land of idolatry and restoring proper worship of God. He also ordered the repair of the temple and celebrated the Passover according to the book of the law. This demonstrated his commitment to the covenant between God and Israel, and his efforts to maintain and promote true worship of God.

Akọwa Nkọwa
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.

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.

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.

Akọwa Nkọwa
The reason why Paul was thankful to God whenever he remembered Philemon in his prayer was because of Philemon's love for and faith in Jesus. 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.

Akọwa Nkọwa
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.

Akọwa Nkọwa
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.

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

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.

Akọwa Nkọwa
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.

Jesus' charge, "Take heart my son, your sins are forgiven," was given to a sinner. In this story from the Bible, a paralyzed man was brought to Jesus by his friends, but because of the large crowd, they could not get him in front of Jesus. So, they lowered the man through the roof of the house where Jesus was teaching. Jesus saw their faith and said to the paralyzed man, "Take heart my son, your sins are forgiven."

Akọwa Nkọwa
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.

The presence of Moses and Elijah in the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ signifies that Jesus came to fulfill the law and the prophets. Moses represents the law given to Israel by God, and Elijah represents the prophets who spoke on God's behalf. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Akọwa Nkọwa
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
