Q3. (Luke 24:12; John 20:6-8) What about the grave clothes brought Peter and John to faith? What was so peculiar about them? The way the were found lying in the tomb the face linen apart and seperate from the body cloths and as though the body of Christ had passed through instead of being unwrapped.

Q3. (Genesis 45:4-8) Contrast Jacob and Joseph. Jacob has suffered great loss. Joseph has suffered great injustice. Why is Jacob's vision so bleak but Joseph's, so broad? What have been their differing responses to fear? What insight has kept Joseph from being bitter towards his brothers? I believe that a lot of their differing outlooks has to do with age as we get older we tend to think we are running out of time and in Jacobs case He has lost a lot in his wife and son. He looks at the remaining days of his life and worries about what he will lose next. Joseph has been through a hard time but he is still a young man and now find himself in a place of power and wealth he has anything he needs plus the people of Egypt to do his bidding. He feels that God will continue to bless him now that he knows that his father is alive and that he can have him brought to him.

Q2. Which New Testament parallels to Isaiah 53 convince you that Jesus himself saw his own mission and destiny spelled out in Isaiah 53? If you aren't convinced, what stands in your way? I believe every statement He made about Himself points to the fact that He fulfilled all of Isaiah 53. Especially when He stood to read then said that today scripture has been fulfilled in your ears,

Q2. What similarities do you find in the resurrection accounts? Based on the agreements between the accounts, what seems to have happened? They all speak of the fact that Jesus died and was buried and on Sunday Morning had risen. That He was seen by the women and the disciples and later by Paul. The only thing that could have happened with the grave being guarded was that the Holy Spirit brought Jesus back from the dead and He lives just like He said He would.

Q2. (Genesis 42:35-43:14) What is Jacob

Q1. From how large a group of people does God remove sins in Isaiah 52:13 - 53:12? In what sense is this a universal sacrifice of salvation? In what sense is Jesus' sacrifice wasted on some people? "52:13 See, my servant will act wisely; he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted. 53:12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors." To me these verses mention many and all so this must mean an unlimited number of people. Since God said that He sent His Son into the world to save the world, that means that everyone that is ever to be born will have a chance to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior. Jesus gave His life for everyone even those who decide to never give their hearts to Christ. He would have died even if only one person had received Him because of God's love for His people.

Q1. What differences do you find between the various resurrection accounts? How do you account for differences in eyewitness testimony? How might these differences add to the credibility of the witnesses? Women,Appearance of the women, Angles,purpose of the women's visit,graveclothes, and location. I would agree that it is just a differance in what each person remembered when the accounts were given. They add to the credibility by testifing that the events happened and that they are speaking of a more important event with a few minor differances.

Q1. (Genesis 37:31-35) What does bringing the blood-stained robe to Jacob say about these sons

Q6. What do you think God intended animal sacrifice teach us about sin? About holiness? About God's nature? That sin is very serious like death and it take a serious event to cover sin in God's sight. The only means of being Holy is to be totally absent from sin and we as humans can only be totally Holy when we are seen through Jesus the only Holy man and the perfect sacrifice for our sins. God's nature is Holy and Pure he seeks to make us Holy by showing us His Grace and Mercy through that perfect sacrifice Jesus our Lord and Savior.

Q5. In what sense is God's provision of animal sacrifice for forgiveness of sins an expression of his mercy? Were animal sacrifices actually adequate to atone for human sin? The physical sense in that a lamb dies and its blood is shed as a sacrifice. God said that without the shedding of blood there is no redemption. In the spiritual sense that God's grace is poured out like the shedding of the blood for our forgiveness and salvation. Animal sacrifices were not adequate because that they are not equal in importance to God a human life would need a human life as a sacrifice. God provided Jesus to be our human sacrifice.

Q4. What are the basic elements involved in a sacrifice for sin? (Leviticus 4:32-35; 5:5-6) Which of these are still necessary for forgiveness of sins today? Which are no longer necessary? Why? Confession of sin, a lamb without blemish,killing the lamb,blood on the horns of the alter,blood at the base of the alter, burning the fat,and eating the meat. Confession is the necessary one today and the giving up of the cause of the sin. Killing a lamb, shedding its blood pouring it on and around the alter. Because Jesus is our lamb, He died once for all our sins all we must do is confess and believe that He will so what He has said.

Q4. Why did Jesus' enemies heed his prediction of being raised on the third day even more than his disciples? Did his enemies expect him to rise? Did his followers? They had seen Him raise the dead already in the son of the widow and Lazarus, they must have realized that if He could raise other He must be able to raise Himself. I believe His enemies believed more than His followers the enemies put a guard on the tomb His disciples could have been there that morning but weren't.

Q5. (Genesis 35:22) What is the significance of Reuben

Q3. Why is animal sacrifice repulsive to modern people? How much of this has to do with a city vs. a farming way of life? It means taking the life of an animal an act of killing something doesn't come easy to most people. I think that it is something that is learned from youth. I have known people who are really into deer hunting and us the meat for food I on the other hand would find it very hard to kill a deer even for food.

Q3. (John 11:23-25) What do you think Jesus meant when he said, "I am the resurrection and the life"? What role will Jesus play in the resurrection of the dead? That He alone is the reason that there will be another life after death and that He is the second life. Jesus said that He will raise the dead and that He will judge the righteous and unrighteous.

Q4. (Genesis 35:9-15) Why do you think God appears to Jacob yet another time? What are the primary promises that God renews to Jacob? He renew His promise a second time because Jacob had obeyed by cleansing his family and has built an alter and offered burnt offerings to His God as he had been instructed.# "I am God Almighty" (El Shaddai, 35:11b). # "Be fruitful and increase in number" (35:11c). # "A nation and a community of nations will come from you, and kings will come from your body" (35:11d). # "The land I gave to Abraham and Isaac I also give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you God reminded him of the promises He had already made to him.

Q2. Why is anger an appropriate response to sin? What is the difference between capricious or uncontrolled anger and anger that brings about justice? We should all be angry when we sin because it separates us from the Love of God and His plan for us.Uncontrolled anger causes additional sin to enter our lives by lashing out at something or some one. We need to remind ourselves as Paul state in your anger sin not when we are sinful we need to seek forgiveness and we need to forgive when someone sins against us. Anger that brings justice is righteous anger when we sin we must be willing to accept the punishment of the justice afforded that sin.

Q2. (John 5:28-29; Acts 24:15) According to scripture, both the righteous and unrighteous will experience resurrection. What will be the result of resurrection for the righteous? They will be given new life, Paul said absent from the body present with the Lord. I believe that when we are raised to new life that means we will be in the presence of the Lord and the Father of us all. We will be raised in the newness of life, we will be given spiritual bodies to worship the king of kings and Lord of Lords.

Q3. (Genesis 35:1-5) Why does Jacob

Q2. What happened when the Israelites disobeyed God and intermarried with the Canaanites? Why do you think God commanded them not to intermarry? Was this racial or spiritual or both? Why are Christians to marry

Q1. (Genesis 34) Why do you think Jacob is so silent after the rape of his daughter? What should he have done instead of being silent? What was right about the sons

Q1. How does Job's vision of resurrection (Job 19:25-27) differ from the Jews' former understanding of death as Sheol? What is progressive revelation? Job was truly a servant of God although he had not known of Jesus he knew that God had a plan that would bring himinto the presence of God when he died. He unlike the Jews who believed that once they died they remained in the grave he knew his redeemer lived.

Q1. How do you know that John the Baptist's statement about the Lamb of God refers to sacrifice? (John 1:29). How was the comprehensiveness of "sins of the world" so radical a concept? He was a Jew speaking to Jews who were use to sacrificing lamb for their sins. He was endowed with the Holy Spirit from birth so I believe that he knew that Jesus had come to save people from their sin through the sacrifice of His own body. The idea of saving all people through one sacrifice had to be strange for the Jews to believe since they had been sacrificing a lamb for each person and that only push off their sin for a year.

Q4. (Genesis 33:1-16) How has Esau changed since Jacob had gone to Haran? How has Jacob changed? How does the encounter demonstrate Jacob
