Q3. (Mark 10:22) Why is poverty and self-sacrifice an inadequate religion? Why does Jesus ask the man to follow him? In what senses was this a great privilege that the man was offered? Why did he reject the offer? Answer: 1.Why is poverty and self-sacrifice an inadequate religion? Poverty is a curse,a sign that signify ones rebellion or not in obedience to Gods Word.It is an opposite of Prosperity: Proverbs 13:18 -Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured. Poverty is also a result if you are too lazy to work,and just love good life,drinking and eating: Proverbs 20:13-Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread. Proverbs 23:21 -For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags. No one will come to your religion if you preach:COME ALL OF YOU BROTHERS AND SISTERS,AND SURELY POVERTY WILL FOLLOW AND BE WITH YOU TILL ETERNITY

If there was no other way for the man to be saved, what does that say about the spiritual dangers of wealth? Answer: It is in The HEART. God see in us through our Heart. 1 Samuel 16:7 -But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.

Q3. (Hebrews 10:26-31). (In your discussion, please resist the temptation to slam another Christian who might understand the security of the believer differently from you!) What kind of sin is expressed by the phrase, "deliberately keep on sinning" (10:26)? Is this talking about sins related to the weakness of our flesh or apostasy? What elements in 10:29 contribute to your understanding that this is indeed flagrant apostasy, not garden-variety sin? Answer; What kind of sin is expressed by the phrase, "deliberately keep on sinning" (10:26)? Deliberately keep on sinning is the UNBELIEF, LACK OF FAITH in JESUS and what HE has done on the Cross. Unbelief or lack of Faith, in Jesus, is also a proclation that JESUS is not the MESSIAH,and His death is not valid. 2. ) Is this talking about sins related to the weakness of our flesh or apostasy? I think He is talking here of not only weakness of our Flesh,but of SIN of NOT BELIEVING IN JESUS.,rejection of what He has Done in the Cross. 4.What elements in 10:29 contribute to your understanding that this is indeed flagrant apostasy, not garden-variety sin? Hebrews 10:29(KJV)- Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace Hebrews 10:29(Ampl)- 29How much worse (sterner and heavier) punishment do you suppose he will be judged to deserve who has spurned and [thus] trampled underfoot the Son of God, and who has considered the covenant blood by which he was consecrated common and unhallowed, thus profaning it and insulting and outraging the [Holy] Spirit [Who imparts] grace (the unmerited favor and blessing of God)?(G) The term used: 1.spurned and [thus] trampled underfoot the Son of God. 2.who has considered the covenant blood by which he was consecrated common and unhallowed, 3.thus profaning it and insulting and outraging the [Holy] Spirit [Who imparts] grace (the unmerited favor and blessing of God)? In verse 29 is an indication of total lack of Faith,unmindfull,no respect to Jesus and His work in The cross.THIS IS THE ONLY SIN THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL CONVICT MEN: John 16:7-9- Him 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 Of sin, because they believe not to on me; And if we deny Jesus,He will likewise deny us in front of the Father,rendering also unforgiveness to those that reject Him.: Matthew 10;10- But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father

According to Hebrews 3:13 and 10:24-25, what should be a prime motive for meeting together with other Christians? Hebrews 3:13-14- But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin 14- For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; Hebrews 10:24-25-And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. 25Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another

Q1. (Hebrews 10:19-21) How did the veil of the Tabernacle function in Old Testament worship? What is the significance of the veil being ripped in two at Jesus' crucifixion? Why is our access to God called a "new and living way"? In what sense is it new? In what sense is it living? Answer: Hebrews 10:22- Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure. 1. How did the veil of the Tabernacle function in Old Testament worship? The Veil separates the,ark of covenant, a sysmbol of the presence of the Lord.No one can come inside this place,The Holiest of Holy where the Ark of Covenant is located except the High Priest.The Veil represent the LAST LINE of DEFENSE so that no unauthorized entry, will happen. 2. What is the significance of the veil being ripped in two at Jesus' crucifixion? The significance of the veil being Ripped in two,also means,GOD accepted JESUS sacrifice,the only sacrifice that GOD was pleased.(Isaiah 53;10) The significance:THE BARRIER THAT SEPARATES MAN FROM GOD,was already removed,for those WHO BELIEVE.That Barrier is

Q3. (15:3-4) We see singing and praise in heaven before the throne a number of times in Revelation (4:8, 11; 5:9-10, 12-13; 7:12; 11:17-18; 15:3-4; 19:1-3). What do you learn about appropriate worship from studying these songs? Do you recognize any contemporary songs that seem similar to these? Worship in Praise,is the most effective way of Glorifying,honoring our Lord and God. Praise,through singing is another way of expressing our devotion,our prayers,lifting our voices proclaiming His Holiness. It is also a means to Thank the Lord for all the great Things that He has Done,for His daily,provisions,and for the Miracles that He has done and will do in our life. Singing praise also proclaim our confession that We Worship our Lord,the True and Mighty King,..It separates us from the worshippers of idols,and pagan religions,FOR WE DECLARE THE LOVING KINDNESS OF OUR LORD JESUS..who will reign forever and ever AMEN.

Q1. (14:3-5) In what ways do the 144,000 provide an ideal for all Christians to emulate? Answer:The 144,000 provides us a clearer picture,of a group of believers ho hold on to the end..,those who have been given a seal of the Holy Spirit,as Jesus has promised The Father will Give ,when He will ascend and sit in the Right Hand of the Throne. Eph 1:13- In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise. So therefore we must emulate them,and hold on the Faith that bring us into the Throne of Grace,Faith in Jesus,who is the Author and Finisher of our Faith.Amen.

Q4. (Luke 17:33-36) What does our passage teach about the separation and judgment that will occur when the Kingdom comes? How should this affect our testimony? Our love for our neighbors? Answer: The passage teach about the Second coming of our Lord Jesus to separate His Chosen people,those who endured to the end.He will established His Kingdom,having only His people dwelling therein.And They will be my people,and I will be their God..Jeremiah 31:33 - But this [shall be] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those day, saith the LORD, I will put my in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. It also teach us that,those that are not saved,those who believe not the Gospel,will be left,even though it is your wife/husband(as signify in slleping in one bed),child,mother,etc. The separation is real:IT IS EITHER YOU ARE SAVED OR YOU ARE DOOMED. There is no middle man,or fence sitter. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18-For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise: 17 Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. It also teaches us to be watchfull,and to spread the Good news of Salvation to everybody,starting from our Family and to the World,for we don

Q4. (Hebrews 10:4) Why can't the blood of bulls and goats actually take away sin? What happened then to the sins the Old Testament saints thought were atoned for under the Old Covenant? Answer; The Blood of bulls and goats are just type and shadow to come.They are symbolic, or indicators of Good things which are about to come.They are actually pointing to the Blood of Jesus shed in the cross. The ineffectiveness is just plain and simple in itself,that the system of purification,atonement has to be done ...The same sacrifice to continue year after year..to atone for their sin and allow access to God. Indeed, the repeated sacrifice meant that both God and the worshipper were forced to remember sin. This violates the provision of the promise in Jeremiah 31:34 (quoted in Hebrews 8:12), "I will remember their sins no more." Thus the only conclusion that the author can draw is that the Old Testament sacrificial system failed to provide authentic access to God.(by Roger Hanh) The sins of the Old Testament sins were covered, when they obey the ceremonial sacrifice as required to them.However those sins were never taken away,..until the Coming of our Lord Jesus,and I believe that when He ascended into Heaven,he has taken with Him,all those Old Testament Saints, and death was forever destroyed

Answer: Anti Christ,are everywhere.They are in our midst,even present in our Church today.(Mark 1:23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out). Jesus warns His disciple,for the emerging of this so called False prophets.( Matt. 24:24- For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect., Mark 13:22 -For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. In this warning,even the chosen one(elect)will be deceived if they are not alert. They will perform all signs and wonders claiming to be the Messiah,to try to bring into doubt the mind of Beleivers that Jesus is not the Christ. 2 Thessalonians 2:2- That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.—In this verse Paul exhorts the believers in Thessolonica,not to be shaken or worried,to think that the Day of the Lord has not yet come,or not yet born. He further explained in verse 3 and 4,that this Anti Christ will deceive them,and by signs and Wonders will claim to be the Messiah. The apostle Paul was confronting the confusion that surrounded the second coming of Christ. Many thought that The Day of the Lord (Great Tribulation) had already commenced and that they missed the rapture of the Church, assuming that the anti-Christ was revealed. This confusion led many believers to neglect their personal responsibilities in life, resulting in unrest and irrational behavior amongst God's people (2 Thess. 3:11) The Antichrist will be the world's political dictator of the last days. The Scripture declares ...and power was given him over all kindred, and tongues, and nations... Rev. 13:7. The Antichrist will be a man whom Satan will fill to such an extent that he will be Satan incarnate. This is why Paul calls him the man of sin and the son of perdition. 2 Thess. 2:3 Yet, Paul makes it very clear that the Anti-Christ will be restrained until the Holy Spirit and the Church are removed Our only sufficiency necessary to expose false prophets and their teachings is the Word of God under the direct influence of the Holy Spirit. And this is why the Anti-Christ hides in darkness. He cannot, even with all of Satan's potential overcome the body of Christ (Matthew 16:18; James 4:7; 1 John 4:4)... thus, he is restrained from exacting his hellish ministry until after the Church is gone.-- Dr. Arthur Belanger Anti Christ are people who does not believe that Jesus is the Messiah,and does not believe in the finished work of Jesus in the Cross, and His ascension into heaven.They will bring False doctrines even based on some Biblical truth,but will deny that Jesus is Christ; 2 Peter 2:1 -But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. They are everywhere now,any Religious doctrines or teachings that says there are many ways to heaven,through intercessory mediation from any other saints,that salvation can be earned through penance and self righteousness,.. is ANTI CHRIST.

Q3. Revelation 12:11 could be considered a theme verse for the book. What does it mean? Who is overcome? In what sense do we have victory if we die in the process? What does the "blood of the Lamb" have to do with this? How does loving our lives prevent spiritual victory today? (See Luke 14:25-27; Matthew 10:37-39.) Answer: 1.What does Rev 12:11 means? Rev 12:11- And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. THE THEME OR EMPHASIS ON THIS VERSE IS OUR SALVATION THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS: Revelation 1:5- And from Jesus Christ, [who is] the faithful witness, [and] the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood; 1John1:7- But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. The believers overcome Satan not by their own strength,but by the virtue of the Blood of Jesus,shed in the Cross.And it was only possible when people began confessing through HIS WORD,testifying that Jesus was send by God.. Romans 10:9-10- That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation). The believers knew that they live a temporary life in earth,and that a glorified body is waiting for them in heaven,so they are eager to run their race,and claim their prize position,to be near with their Heavenly Father and dwell in His Kingdom forever and ever,SO THEY LOVED NOT THEIR EARTHLY LIVES,NOT CLEAVING ON IT DEARLY,.UNTO DEATH. 2. Who is overcome? In what sense do we have victory if we die in the process? The believers overcome,by their Faith on Jesus,and victory is theirs if they die,for they will get their Glorified Body,perfect,Holy,made unto the image of God,who wil live forever and ever,without decay

Answer: How did the purpose of Christ's First Coming differ from his Second Coming? His First coming is to bring the Good News of Salvation,through the sacrifice of His own body.His second coming is to bring Judgement: 1.To the believers who hold on to the end-Eternal Life 2.To thos who reject Him-Eternal damnation Which did the Jews expect? The Jew are expecting a King who will be coming riding in a horse,with all its splendor and glory,and delivering them from the bondage of slavery and persecution from the Roman Empire.They are not expecting a King who will be born in a manger,raised as a Carpenter son,and so They rejected Him. How does the mission of the Suffering Servant of Isaiah 53 fit here? Isaiah 53 foretold the life of Jesus Christ.Isaiah even wonder whether people will believe His prophecy:He begins in verse one

Answer: It means as what always the Lord tells His Disciple:BE WATCHFUL: 1 Peter 5:8- Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour Matthew 24:14 -And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. The gospel has been preached already,and no reason will be entertained.It is either you are saved or not. Thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. When Christ came to destroy the Jewish nation by the Roman armies, that nation was found in such a state of false security as is here spoken of. In like manner, when Jesus Christ shall come to judge the world, sinners will be found altogether regardless; for in like manner the sinners of every age go on securely in their evil ways, and remember not their latter end. But wherever the wicked are, who are marked for eternal ruin, they shall be found by the judgments of God(Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary). No one can escape the judgement of God

Q2. (Luke 17:22-24) What do Jesus

Q2. (Hebrews 9:15). Read also 1 Timothy 2:5. In what sense does Jesus serve as a mediator? In what sense is Jesus a ransom from sin? Answer: Jesus serve as Mediator in the sense that NO ONE can Come to the Father except through Him.HE IS THE ONLY WAY,THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE:John 14:6- Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. There is no other way,as some religious denomination says,that this saint,this prayers,etc,and all other religious rituals

Q1. (Hebrews 9:14) In what way does Christ's sacrifice of himself cleanse the conscience in a way that the animal sacrifices of the Old Covenant could not? Answer: Jesus Christ is God.He is the image of invisible God-(Col 1:15- Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature). What more,can anybody ask ffom God,who voluntarily offered Himself,as sacrifice for the forgiveness of our Sins.This God of ours,has humble Himself and descended from His Throne in Heaven,to be like us,yet retaining His divinity as God. He endured as human all the humiliation,physical hardship,He bleed and died for all of us,that each and every one,will have equal playing field,to response to the Grace that was offered. His sacrifice are the only,atonement that God the Father is pleased. Isaiah 53:10-11-Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put [him] to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see [his] seed, he shall prolong [his] days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. 11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, [and] shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. God has reconcile us to Himself,through the death of His Son(2 Corinthians 5:18-And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation)..In fact it is also God that draws us near to Jesus,and not our own will..John 6:65- And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. This is God

2. (12:1-17) The vision of the woman and the dragon are heavily symbolic, but comprehensible when you take care to understand. In your own words, what does this vision tell us about the cosmic battle in Jesus' day and in our own? What comfort should we disciples draw from this passage Amswer: There is no doubt that this woman is a representation of the True Church of God, for it is this woman that brings forth/gives birth to the man child, Jesus, and is persecuted after His ascension, verses 2, 4-6. And the dragon is trying His best,to destroy the Church of God even today,by sowing lies and deception that there are many ways to enter the Kingdom of God,idolatry,etc. In our own life,the dragon(devil)will just continue to condemn us,by telling us,how rotten we are,and that God will not move in our life,because of our sinfulness...However if we stand firm and Keep in the end,and make Jesus as our Saviour,and continue with HIS WORDS to be a disciple(John 8:31-32),then the evil will still try to deceived us,by telling us to do something,observe this and that,and EARNED our SALVATION. We need to be always WATCHFUL for His OLD tricks and deception,for He will come any time to STEAL,KILL and DESTROY(John 10-10-The thief cometh not , but for to steal , and to kill , and G to destroy : am come that they might have life , and that they might have [it] more abundantly
