Awọn alaye Idahun

St James teaching on impartiality centers on the principle of loving our neighbours as ourselves in all situations. In his letter, he emphasizes the importance of treating everyone equally, regardless of their social status, wealth, or any other distinguishing factor. He urges Christians not to show favoritism to the rich over the poor, and not to judge people based on outward appearances. According to St James, impartiality is an essential aspect of Christian living and is demonstrated by acts of kindness, generosity, and compassion towards others. Christians are called to show love to their neighbors, not only in words but also in deeds, and to actively seek out opportunities to serve and bless others. Therefore, St James teaches that Christians should love and care for all people, regardless of their background or circumstances, and that true faith is demonstrated by living out this principle of impartiality in our daily lives.

Josiah sent _____the priest to inquire of the Lord from Huldah

Awọn alaye Idahun

Josiah sent Hilkiah the priest to inquire of the Lord from Huldah. King Josiah of Judah was concerned about the spiritual state of his kingdom, and so he sent Hilkiah to seek guidance from the prophetess Huldah. Huldah was a woman known for her spiritual insight and wisdom, and Josiah believed that she could provide him with the guidance he needed. When Hilkiah visited Huldah, she confirmed that the kingdom was indeed in a state of spiritual decline, but she also delivered a message of hope, telling Josiah that if he repented and turned back to the Lord, the Lord would spare the kingdom from the judgment it deserved. This story is a reminder of the importance of seeking guidance from God, and of the power of repentance and faith to bring about renewal and restoration.

"I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities". By this statement, God gave them ______

Awọn alaye Idahun

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 taken away the people's food and made them go hungry, resulting in their teeth being clean because they had nothing to eat. In other words, the phrase "cleanness of teeth" is a metaphor for hunger and famine. The people had no food to eat, so their teeth were not being used for chewing, resulting in them being clean. This statement was part of a message from God to the people of Israel, warning them of the consequences of their disobedience and reminding them of His power and authority. Therefore, the answer to the question is "No food to eat."

God instructed Saul to utterly destroy Amalek because___________

Awọn alaye Idahun

God instructed Saul to utterly destroy Amalek because its people opposed the Israelites on the way after departing Egypt. In the Old Testament, the Amalekites were a people who attacked the Israelites in the wilderness after they had left Egypt, and continued to harass them throughout their journey. God's command to destroy the Amalekites was a punishment for their unprovoked aggression and hostility towards Israel. This command was given to Saul, the first king of Israel, who was expected to carry out God's judgment in obedience to His word. However, Saul failed to fully obey God's instructions, sparing the Amalekite king and some of the spoils of war, which ultimately led to his downfall. Therefore, God's command to destroy the Amalekites was a judgment for their opposition to His chosen people, the Israelites.

God instructed Saul to utterly destroy Amalek because_____

Awọn alaye Idahun

God instructed Saul to utterly destroy Amalek because "its people opposed the Israelites on the way, after departing Egypt." In the book of Exodus, it is mentioned that the Amalekites attacked the Israelites as they journeyed through the wilderness after leaving Egypt. God saw this act of aggression as a direct attack on His chosen people and instructed Saul, who was the king of Israel at the time, to completely destroy the Amalekites and all their possessions as a form of punishment. This event is seen as a symbol of God's protection and care for His people, and a reminder of the consequences of opposing His will. The destruction of the Amalekites also served as a warning to other nations that might consider attacking the Israelites in the future.

Peter advised Christians to _______as they were sharing Christ's sufferings

Awọn alaye Idahun

The Apostle Peter, in the New Testament of the Bible, advised Christians to rejoice as they were sharing in Christ's sufferings. This advice can be found in 1 Peter 4:13 where it says, "But rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed." Peter's message was that Christians should not be discouraged or fearful when they face suffering or persecution because they are not alone in their struggles. Instead, they should be joyful because they are united with Christ and are partakers in his sufferings. Rejoicing in the midst of trials may seem counterintuitive, but Peter understood that suffering produces perseverance, character, and ultimately, hope. By rejoicing in their sufferings, Christians can develop a deeper understanding of God's love and grow in their faith. Therefore, the answer to the question is "Rejoice."

The essence of St. Paul's teaching on Law and Grace is that___________

Awọn alaye Idahun

The essence of St. Paul's teaching on Law and Grace is that observance of the law is not sufficient for salvation, but it is only through God's grace that Christians can be saved. Paul believed that following the law is important, but it cannot bring salvation because no one can perfectly keep the law. Therefore, it is only through faith in Jesus Christ and the grace of God that one can be redeemed and receive eternal life. However, this does not mean that Christians can continue in sin, but rather they are called to live a life of righteousness, obedience to God's commands, and to work out their salvation with fear and trembling.

Awọn alaye Idahun

St. Paul's teaching on 'New Life In Christ' is centered on the idea that believers should live a transformed life by turning away from their old ways and embracing a new way of living through faith in Jesus Christ. He advises Christians to dwell richly in the word of God, which is the source of spiritual nourishment and growth. By reading and meditating on the Scriptures, believers can gain a deeper understanding of God's will and purpose for their lives. Additionally, Paul encourages believers to pray for the grace of God, which is the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit that enables them to live a holy and righteous life. Finally, while Paul does not explicitly mention baptism, he emphasizes the importance of repentance and turning away from sin as part of the process of entering into a new life in Christ.

"For the men in the ship knew that he was fleeing from the presence of the Lord". The person referred to in this statement is________

Awọn alaye Idahun

The person referred to in the statement is Jonah. The statement is a reference to the Biblical story of Jonah, who was a prophet in ancient Israel. In the story, Jonah was commanded by God to go to the city of Nineveh to preach against its wickedness. However, Jonah didn't want to do this and instead decided to flee on a ship to Tarshish. During the journey, a great storm arose, and the men on the ship became fearful for their lives. They eventually realized that Jonah was the cause of the storm because he was running away from God's command, and they threw him overboard to appease God. Jonah was then swallowed by a great fish, and after three days and nights, he was vomited onto the shore by the fish. Therefore, the phrase "For the men in the ship knew that he was fleeing from the presence of the Lord" refers to the realization of the sailors that Jonah was trying to escape from God's will, which caused the storm to come upon them.

Peter refuted the mockery of drunkenness of the disciples by referring to the prophecy of________

Awọn alaye Idahun

The correct answer is "Joel." Peter was speaking to the crowd on the day of Pentecost, after the Holy Spirit had come upon the disciples and they were speaking in tongues. Some people in the crowd accused the disciples of being drunk, but Peter explained that this was not the case. Instead, he pointed to the prophecy of Joel, which said that in the last days, God would pour out His Spirit on all people, and they would prophesy and speak in tongues. So, Peter was using the prophecy of Joel to show that the events of that day were not a result of drunkenness, but were the fulfillment of God's promise to pour out His Spirit on all people. This was a powerful way for Peter to refute the accusations against the disciples and to show that what was happening was a work of God, not the result of any human effort. In summary, Peter referenced the prophecy of Joel to show that the events of that day were a fulfillment of God's promise and not a result of drunkenness.

In other words, Jesus was inviting Simon and the others to join him in his ministry and spread his message to the world.

St Paul's condition for the attainment of justification is by ______?

Awọn alaye Idahun

St. Paul's condition for the attainment of justification is by faith in the Resurrected Jesus. In several of his letters in the New Testament, Paul wrote about the concept of justification, which is the idea that through faith in Jesus Christ, believers are made right with God and can have eternal life. According to Paul, this justification is not something that can be earned by following the law or by doing good works. Rather, it is a gift from God that comes through faith in Jesus Christ. In his letter to the Romans, Paul wrote, "For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law" (Romans 3:28). He also wrote, "But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe" (Romans 3:21-22). According to Paul, faith in the Resurrected Jesus is the only condition for justification. This faith involves believing that Jesus Christ died for our sins and was raised from the dead, and that through our faith in him, we can be made right with God. While obedience to the law and loving our Christian brethren are certainly important, they are not the basis for our justification. Instead, it is through our faith in Jesus Christ that we receive the gift of eternal life and are made right with God.

Herod Agrippa persecuted Peter primarily to_____

Awọn alaye Idahun

Herod Agrippa persecuted Peter primarily "to please the Jews." Herod Agrippa was a king of Judea who was known for his persecution of the early Christians, including the apostle Peter. According to the book of Acts in the New Testament, Herod arrested Peter and put him in prison with the intention of putting him on trial before the Jewish people. Herod's persecution of Peter was primarily motivated by his desire to appease the Jewish leaders and people, who were hostile towards the message of Jesus and the early Christian church. By putting Peter on trial and attempting to silence the spread of the gospel, Herod was trying to maintain his power and popularity among the Jewish people. In the end, however, Peter was miraculously freed from prison and continued to preach the gospel, despite Herod's efforts to stop him. This event serves as a testament to the power of God and the resilience of the early Christian church in the face of persecution.

Awọn alaye Idahun

Paul taught that spiritual gifts in all their varieties emanate from the one Spirit of God. In 1 Corinthians 12:4-11, Paul emphasizes that the gifts of the Spirit come from the same source, which is God. He also notes that there are different varieties of gifts, but they all come from the same Spirit. The gifts are given for the common good of the church, to build up the body of Christ. Paul emphasizes that no one gift is more important than another and that they are all necessary for the functioning of the church as a whole. He stresses the unity of the body of Christ and how each member of the church has a unique role to play. Therefore, Paul's teaching emphasizes that spiritual gifts come from the one Spirit of God and are given for the benefit of the entire church, reflecting God's diversity and unity.

Awọn alaye Idahun

The statement "Do not be afraid; for I know what you seek, Jesus who was crucified..." was made by an angel to Mary Magdalene and the other Mary (the mother of James) who had come to Jesus' tomb on the morning of his resurrection. According to the Bible, after Jesus was crucified and buried, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to the tomb to anoint his body with spices. When they arrived, there was a great earthquake and an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, rolled back the stone from the tomb, and sat on it. The guards who were watching the tomb were terrified and became like dead men. The angel then spoke to the women, saying "Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying" (Matthew 28:5-6). The women were overjoyed at the news and hurried to tell the disciples, who later saw Jesus alive and were convinced of his resurrection. Thus, the statement "Do not be afraid; for I know what you seek, Jesus who was crucified..." was a message of comfort and assurance from the angel to Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, confirming the fulfillment of Jesus' promise to rise from the dead and providing them with evidence of his resurrection.

Jesus healed the lame man who had been sick for thirty-eight years at?

Awọn alaye Idahun

Jesus healed the lame man who had been sick for thirty-eight years at the pool of Bethesda in Jerusalem. This is recorded in the book of John, chapter 5. In this story, Jesus encounters a man who had been an invalid for a long time and was unable to walk. He asked the man if he wanted to be healed, and when the man said yes, Jesus commanded him to get up, pick up his mat, and walk. The man was instantly healed and did as Jesus commanded. This event caused controversy because it was the Sabbath, and the religious leaders accused Jesus of breaking the Sabbath law by healing the man on that day. However, Jesus defended himself by saying that he was doing the work of his Father. This story is an example of Jesus' compassion and power to heal those who were sick and in need of physical and spiritual healing.

Awọn alaye Idahun

The statement "I am the resurrection and the life, he who believes in me, though he dies, yet shall he live" was directed by Jesus to Martha, the sister of Lazarus, after Lazarus had died and was buried. According to the Bible, Lazarus was a friend of Jesus and had become seriously ill. When Jesus arrived, Lazarus had already died and had been in the tomb for four days. Martha and her sister Mary were mourning the loss of their brother, but when Jesus arrived, Martha went out to meet him. During their conversation, Jesus declared that he was the resurrection and the life, and asked Martha if she believed in him. Martha responded by affirming her faith in Jesus and his power to bring her brother back to life. Jesus then went to the tomb, commanded Lazarus to come out, and miraculously raised him from the dead, fulfilling his promise that those who believe in him, even if they die, shall live. Thus, the statement "I am the resurrection and the life, he who believes in me, though he dies, yet shall he live" was a powerful declaration by Jesus of his divinity and his ability to grant eternal life to those who believe in him, even in the face of death.

For how long did the Lord supply the children of Israel with manna in the wilderness?

Awọn alaye Idahun

The correct answer is: Forty years. According to the Bible, after the children of Israel were freed from slavery in Egypt, they wandered in the wilderness for forty years before entering the Promised Land. During this time, the Lord provided them with food in the form of a substance called manna, which was described as being like coriander seed and tasting like honey (Exodus 16:31). The manna appeared on the ground each morning, and the Israelites were instructed to gather enough for their daily needs, with the exception of the day before the Sabbath, when they were to gather enough for two days (Exodus 16:4-5). The manna continued to appear every day for the entire forty-year period, until the Israelites reached the border of the Promised Land and were able to eat from the produce of the land (Joshua 5:12). Therefore, the correct answer to the question is: Forty years. The other options do not accurately reflect the length of time that the Lord supplied the Israelites with manna in the wilderness.

The Egyptians encamped at ____ when they pursued the Israelites

Awọn alaye Idahun

The Egyptians encamped at Pi-ha-hi-roth when they pursued the Israelites. To understand this, we need to go back to the story of the Exodus in the Bible. According to the book of Exodus, the Israelites were slaves in Egypt and God chose Moses to lead them out of slavery and into the promised land. After a series of plagues and miracles, the Pharaoh finally let the Israelites go. However, soon after leaving Egypt, the Pharaoh changed his mind and pursued the Israelites with his army. The Israelites were trapped between the pursuing army and the Red Sea, but God miraculously parted the sea and allowed the Israelites to pass through safely. After the Israelites had crossed the Red Sea, the pursuing Egyptian army followed them into the sea, but God caused the waters to return and drown the army. The Bible says that the Egyptians encamped at Pi-ha-hi-roth before pursuing the Israelites, so that is where they were when they were drowned in the Red Sea.

"It shall be neither mine nor yours; divide it" what was to be divided?

Awọn alaye Idahun

"It shall be neither mine nor yours; divide it" refers to a live baby that two women claimed as their own. This story is recorded in the Old Testament book of 1 Kings chapter 3, where King Solomon was faced with the difficult task of determining which of two women was the real mother of a baby. Both women claimed that the baby belonged to them, and Solomon had to decide who was telling the truth. His solution was to propose cutting the baby in half and giving each woman an equal share. The true mother's love for the child was revealed when she begged the king to spare the baby's life and give it to the other woman instead. Solomon then declared that the first woman, who was willing to give up her claim to the child rather than see it harmed, was the true mother. Therefore, the phrase "It shall be neither mine nor yours; divide it" refers to the live baby that King Solomon was called upon to judge and which he ultimately saved by revealing the true mother's identity.

St. Paul had already boasted to the ______and for this reason he sent a reminder letter to the ______ on Christian giving

Awọn alaye Idahun

The correct answer is: Macedonians, Corinthians. In the Bible, specifically in 2 Corinthians 8-9, the apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthians to remind them about their previous commitment to give to the collection for the poor in Jerusalem. He used the example of the Macedonian churches, who despite being in extreme poverty, had given generously to the same cause. Therefore, he urged the Corinthians to follow their example and give generously as well. So, St. Paul had already boasted to the Macedonians about the Corinthians' eagerness to give, and for this reason, he sent a reminder letter to the Corinthians on Christian giving.

Awọn alaye Idahun

According to Jeremiah, the Lord's new covenant will be made with the "house of Israel and the house of Judah." The prophet Jeremiah lived during a time when the kingdom of Israel was divided into two parts, the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah. In Jeremiah 31:31-34, he speaks of a new covenant that the Lord will make with the people of Israel and Judah, in which He promises to write His laws on their hearts and to be their God. This new covenant is seen as a fulfillment of the promises made by God to His people and as a renewal of the relationship between God and His people. It is also seen as a symbol of the restoration of the unity of the people of Israel and Judah and the reunification of the kingdom. In the New Testament, Christians believe that this new covenant was fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who through His death and resurrection established a new covenant between God and humanity. Through faith in Jesus, people can be reconciled to God and become part of the new covenant community.
