The consequence of Solomon's apostasy was ______

Maelezo ya Majibu

Solomon's apostasy, which refers to his turning away from worshipping God and instead worshipping false gods, had the consequence of the division of the Kingdom of Israel. This happened because God had promised to give the whole kingdom to Solomon's descendants if he followed God's commands and kept his covenant. But because of Solomon's disobedience, God decided to take away most of the kingdom from Solomon's descendants and give it to someone else. This division happened after Solomon's death when his son, Rehoboam, became king. The people of Israel requested that Rehoboam lighten the heavy burden of taxes and labor that Solomon had imposed on them, but Rehoboam refused. This led to a rebellion by the northern tribes of Israel, who made Jeroboam their king and established the Kingdom of Israel in the north. The southern tribes remained loyal to Rehoboam and established the Kingdom of Judah in the south. Thus, the division of the kingdom was a direct consequence of Solomon's apostasy.

Maelezo ya Majibu

According to James, the fulfillment of the royal law involves loving your neighbour as yourself.

Maelezo ya Majibu

The main reason why the Israelites went to Egypt was because there was a great famine. This famine caused a severe shortage of food and resources in the land of Canaan where the Israelites lived.

Joseph, who was sold into slavery in Egypt, had risen to a position of power and was in charge of managing the food supply during the famine. Therefore, he was able to provide food and shelter for his family and the rest of the Israelites who came to Egypt. Eventually, the Israelites would become enslaved by the Egyptians and remain in Egypt for many years until they were led out by Moses during the Exodus.

His most fascinating aspect of what was going on in the early church was that __________

Maelezo ya Majibu

The most fascinating aspect of what was going on in the early church was that believers shared their possessions. In the book of Acts in the New Testament, it is recorded that the early Christian community shared their possessions with one another. This sharing of resources was an expression of their love and concern for one another, and it helped to meet the needs of those who were less fortunate. This practice was initiated by the apostles, who were inspired by the teachings of Jesus to love one another and to care for the poor. The sharing of possessions among the believers was a practical outworking of their faith and a witness to the world of the transformative power of the gospel. This aspect of the early church is fascinating because it challenges our modern individualistic mindset and reminds us of the importance of community and caring for one another.

Therefore, the emphasis is on leading with humility and a servant's heart, putting the needs of the flock above their own desires or ambitions.

The call of Matthew, the tax collector to be one of Jesus' apostles implied that

Maelezo ya Majibu

The call of Matthew, the tax collector, to be one of Jesus' apostles implied that Christ came to call sinners. In the Jewish culture of that time, tax collectors were generally despised because they were seen as collaborators with the Roman oppressors and often collected more than what was required by Rome for their own gain. Despite this, Jesus chose to call Matthew, a tax collector, to be one of his apostles. This demonstrated that Jesus' mission was to call all sinners, regardless of their social status or past actions, to repent and follow him. Matthew was willing to respond to Jesus' call, leaving his job and following him, which shows that he recognized his own need for forgiveness and salvation.

Gamaliel advised caution, pointing out that other messianic movements had arisen in the past, and they had ultimately failed. He suggested that if the apostles' movement was not from God, it would come to nothing, but if it was from God, they would not be able to stop it. This advice was heeded, and the apostles were released. Gamaliel's wisdom and moderation were highly regarded by the people and showed his respect for the rule of law and the sovereignty of God.

Jesus taught that the attitude of Christians toward forgiveness should be ________

Maelezo ya Majibu

Jesus taught that the attitude of Christians toward forgiveness should be limitless. This means that Christians should be willing to forgive others as many times as necessary and without putting any limits on how often they should forgive. This is based on Jesus' teaching in Matthew 18:21-22, where he says, "Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times." This passage shows that Jesus expects his followers to forgive others without counting the number of times they have been wronged. Instead, Christians should seek to show unconditional love and forgiveness, just as God has shown them unconditional love and forgiveness.

Maelezo ya Majibu

This practice was considered abhorrent and was explicitly forbidden in the Law of Moses. Josiah was a king of Judah who reigned from around 640 to 609 BCE. He initiated a religious reform in Judah, in which he sought to rid the nation of all forms of idolatry and to restore the worship of the God of Israel. As part of this reform, he defiled Topheth by making it ceremonially unclean and putting an end to the practice of sacrificing children there. Josiah's actions were in accordance with the Law of Moses and were intended to purify the nation of Judah and bring it back into right relationship with God.

Maelezo ya Majibu

The reason why Peter called on Christians not to retaliate is because vengeance belongs to God.

The miraculous crossing of the Red Sea by the Israelites shows __________

Maelezo ya Majibu

The miraculous crossing of the Red Sea by the Israelites shows God's guidance and protection over His people. According to the Old Testament of the Bible, the Israelites were slaves in Egypt and were led by Moses to escape and find freedom in the Promised Land.

But then, God performed a miracle by parting the sea and allowing the Israelites to cross on dry ground. As they crossed, the waters closed back in, destroying Pharaoh's army that was pursuing them. This event demonstrated God's power and protection over His people and showed that He was faithful in keeping His promises to them. It also solidified Moses' leadership and helped to establish him as a trustworthy and reliable leader in the eyes of the Israelites.

Maelezo ya Majibu

Samuel's disagreement with Saul was caused mainly by disobedience. Samuel was a prophet and the leader of God's people, and Saul was the king of Israel.

This disobedience showed a lack of respect for God and His commands, and as a result, God chose someone else to be king in place of Saul. Samuel's disagreement with Saul was rooted in his desire to follow and obey God, while Saul was not following God's commands and was therefore acting against God's will.

Maelezo ya Majibu

Joseph of Arimathea expressed his faith in Jesus when he buried Jesus in his tomb. Joseph was a wealthy man and a member of the Jewish council who had not consented to the decision to crucify Jesus. After Jesus' death, Joseph went to Pilate and requested permission to take Jesus' body and bury it in his own tomb. By doing this, Joseph was publicly identifying himself as a follower of Jesus and expressing his belief in him as the Messiah. This was a courageous act, as it could have potentially put Joseph's own safety and reputation at risk. Joseph's action also fulfilled a prophecy from the Hebrew Scriptures that the Messiah would be buried in a rich man's tomb. Overall, Joseph of Arimathea's decision to bury Jesus in his own tomb demonstrated his faith in Jesus and his willingness to take a stand for what he believed in, despite the risks involved.

According to the Bible, Aaron was chosen because God commanded Moses to choose him as his spokesperson, since Moses was concerned that he was not eloquent enough to speak on behalf of the Israelites.

The guards were so afraid that they shook and became like dead men. When the women came to the tomb, the angel told them that Jesus had risen from the dead, just as he had promised.
