Because we are surrounded by sin and at times its lure is more powerful than God because of the instant gratification that can be gained. He gave may examples of how people drift away and all of these ways are still very valid in todays society. This parable is close to my heart because it is me I have drifted so many times. I try so hard not to let the world's worries overtake me like the thorns described in the story. This is what I need to pray for so I will not drift away again. Sharon

Q4. (Hebrews 2:3b-4) In what way has the truth of salvation been confirmed to you? Would signs and wonders help or hinder establishing the truth of Christ's ministry today? From which portion of the Bible have you formed your opinion of the value of signs and wonders today? By the holy sprit coming upon me when I was saved and I began to speak in another tongue. For me it was a help because I was able to feel his presence take over me. I was not in control. Regarding the signs I just think about prayer and how I will ask for something and he blesses me with it. Sharon

Q2. (Hebrews 1:2-3) What about the author's description of the Son makes you think that the Son described is himself divine? What role does the Son have in doing the Father's will according to these verses? Becuase he is described as the the radiance of God's glory and representation of him as well. Furthermore he sits at the right side of God which shows he is divine in his eyes because he gave his life to safe all of us. Sharon

Q1. (Hebrews 1:2) In what way do you think the author of Hebrews is using the word "Son"? As a metaphor? As a biological relationship? How would a Son's words have more weight than a prophet's? Mainly I think it was said like that because it was a more personal response than using the word prophet because the Lord wants us to remind us what he did to cleasnse our sins. There were many prophets in the bible but their was only one son of God. Sharon

Hello I am also very happy to have found this site. This summer I have made it my mission to become closer to God. Doing this online study is part of it. Now I can make no excuses on why I cannot study the bible with other christians. I look forward to learning more. Sharon
