Q2. (19:15) How do the first two sentences of Hezekiah's prayer (verse 15) correspond to the first sentence of the Lord's Prayer? How are they important to faith? How are they important to God answering the prayer?

Q1. (19:14) What is the significance of Hezekiah spreading out the enemy's message before the Lord? What is the underlying principle illustrated here? How can we apply this principle to our own lives? What happens when we don't apply this principle?
Hezekiah spread the message out before the Lord because it was wrong.The underlying principle illustrated is that the battle is the Lord's , give them to the Lord from the start, he will work them out. When we don't the Lord steps back until we completely give them to him, and we ask for help.

Q2. (Matthew 19:4-6 quoting Genesis 2:24) Do people need to be Christians to be joined as one flesh? Is this making into "one flesh" accomplished by a religious ceremony or by natural law? Of those who have entered into a first marriage, what percentage do you think have been "joined together" by God, according to Jesus' statement in Matthew 19:6? You don't have to be christians to be joined as one flesh, but I think that you are unequally yoked if you are not both christians. You are more likely to survive if you are equally yoked.
Joined together as one is a religious act, God say that we should be joined as one.
Maybe 50 percent was joined by God.

Warning. Believing Christians disagree on some aspects of divorce and remarriage. In addition, many have been hurt in bad marriages and divorces. Be gentle, sensitive, and loving with one another -- even if you disagree!
Q5. (Matthew 19:9) Does a person who has remarried after a divorce that wasn't caused by marital unfaithfulness, live in a perpetual state of adultery? Should that person divorce or separate in order to get back into God's will? How can he or she get back into God's will, or is that no longer possible?
Yes if you did not divorce for unfaithfulness, you ar an adultress. I suppose ask for forgiveness. to get back into God's will.

Q2. (Luke 1:34) In what way does Mary's "How?" question (1:34) to the angel's declaration differ from Zechariah's "How?" question (1:18)? Why was Mary rewarded and Zechariah disciplined?
Mary's "How" was different because she did not doubt the miracle, the birth of Jesus , she just wondered how this (birth) would happen. Where Zechariah's made excuses and reasons for Elizabeth being old and himself being to old.
He did not say as Mary did let your will be done.
Zechariah doubted the miracle so he was disciplined by being silenced for months.

GOD, Ask God what it is that he wants u to do, and he will answer. He doesn't have a problem with us asking.

Q2. (1:13-15) Why do people blame God for evil? Does God tempt us with evil? Does he tempt sinful people with evil? Why does he allow people to sin? Why does he allow evil to exist at all?
If someone blames God for evil they have not studied the bible. God is Good, we chose to sin which causes evil. God don't tempt people with evil.We have free will to do wrong or right.
Why does he allow evil to exist at all? I think because we have choices, so we won't say that he is making us do things.

I've had a lot of trials in my life and i know that they (trials) just made me stronger in my faith. They continue to teach me to stand firm and believe and know that God will shower me with his grace and mercy as long as I have faith and believe.Q1. (1:2-4) What value have trials had in your life?

Q4. (1:5-8) What is the promise to claim in verse 5? What is the condition attached to this promise in verse 6? How do trials help us receive this wisdom?
VERSE 5: WISDOM, IF WE ASK FOR WISDOM, AND REALLY WANT GOD TO SHOW WHAT HE WANTS US TO DO, THEN WE HAVE TO BE ABLE, WILLING, READY TO ACCEPT THE ANSWER. WISDOM, GOD WILL BLESS YOU WITH IT. I FEEL THAT IF SOLOMON ASKED FOR WISDOM, AND NOT RICHES, HE WAS BLESSED WITH IT ALL.
HOW WILL TRIALS HELP US TO RECEIVE WISDOM? TRIALS ARE LEARNING EXPERIENCES, WHICH WE SHOULD GAIN SOME KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM FROM EACH ONE.
-
Q3. (1:5-8) How do trials help cure us of "doublemindedness"? How do trials help us grow in faith?
TRIALS IN OUR LIVES SHOULD CAUSE US TO NOT BE DOUBLE MINDED, 
SHOULD LEAD US TO BE STEADFAST, READ THE BIBLE MORE, STUDY MORE, LEARN THE WORD AND KEEP THE WORD IN YOUR HEART & MIND. WE SHOULD LEARN BY TRIALS TO HAVE FAITH IN GOD TO GIVE US THE WISDOM & DISCERNMENT NEEDED TO DEAL WITH THE SITUATION.

Q2. (1:13-15) Why do people blame God for evil? Does God tempt us with evil? Does he tempt sinful people with evil? Why does he allow people to sin? Why does he allow evil to exist at all?
IF YOU BLAME GOD FOR EVIL THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN THEIR LIVES, WE (BELIEVER) KNOW THAT THEY FIRST OF ALL HAVE NOT READ THEIR BIBLE. GOD IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF EVIL, HE WANT THE BEST FOR EVERYONE. BUT IT IS OUR CHOICE DO RIGHT AND NOT ALLOW SIN INTO OUR LIVES, BECAUSE SIN EQUALS DEATH. GOD DOES NOT TEMPT US WITH EVIL. WE HAVE THE WILL AND TO MAKE CHOICES.

Q1. (1:2-4) What value have trials had in your life? Have you let Satan destroy you with those trials? Or allowed God to refine you? How have you changed?
I'm been in church since I was a baby. I've had more what I felt was my share of problems, until I learned that God will put no more on you than you can handle.
My Storms are just A test to strengthen me.. So I now thank God for my trials, for they caused me to be stronger in my FAITH.
I have also learned not to let Satan destroy me with trials. I now know that he will try all, your health, finanes, HE WILL come through your family, OR CLOSEST FRIEND. Yes I have changed. I don't break down when trials come, i try to remember that I have nothing to fear and that God will never LEAVE NOR FORSAKE ME.
