linda bass Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 What precipitated the plague of snakes was that the people complained openly against God and criticized His provision of food. Being impatient with God's provision is a sin because it shows a lack of faith. Being impatient shows that we don't trust God to provide for our needs. Just as those who looked upon the bronze snake were healed and lived,those who look upon Christ on the cross and believe,their sins are forgiven and they have eternal life.

wifee Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 2a)This time the people complain about no water&criticise God’s provision of manna& blame not only Moses but God too in their impatience.Poisonous snakes come as a punishment. B)I believe impatience is sin. C)Why it is, if we are not showing gratitude for the many good things we already have,&indicating we know better than God what we need,which is not true. It shows lack of trust and faith. D)God through Moses told people who were bitten by snakes to look at the brazen snake Moses held up on a stick with faith in God’s promise that he would heal them giving hem life.It was afigurative way of God saying he was out of his mercy making snakes harmless. Out of God’s mercy for us,Jesus’ blood was shed as he died on a cross/stick to cleanse us from our sins,&believing in Him gives us eternal life.

IvoryEagle Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 What precipitated the plague of snakes? COMPLAINING AGAINST GOD Is being impatient with God's provision a sin? YES Why or why not? IT MEANS WE DON'T TRUST GOD AND IT IS PRIDEFUL UNGRATEFULNESS What are the points of comparison between the bronze snake in the desert and Christ on the cross? FAITH TAUGHT BE LOOKING AT GOD AND HIS POINT OF CONTACT IN FAITH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onerivertrail Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 Q2. (Numbers 21:4-9; John 3:14-15) What precipitated the plague of snakes? The people began with their constant complaining again. They compained against God and Moses this time! Is being impatient with God's provision a sin? In this case it is a grievous sin. They were complaining against God, demanding their own way and complaining about the one God chose to lead them. Why or why not? Sometimes being impatient is not a sin if it provokes us to step out and do what God wanted us to do from the beginning. If it comes from complaining and not walking in faith then you have your sin as did the people who Moses tried to lead. What are the points of comparison between the bronze snake in the desert and Christ on the cross? We have power over serpents and scorpions. Nothing shall harm us. Satan's power was put to death through Christ's sacrifice on the cross. This is a reminder of that. All manner of sickness and disease and works of evil are dead through faith. Faith was built in the people in the desert by looking at what was put to death and believing the words spoken about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ademola Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Lesson 9: Q2 A. Impatience for Gods provisions B. Yes! C. We have to wait patiently for Gods provisions as it's not our right, it's a privilege. It's a free will of God. We need not to struggle for it. D. The snake was raised up high and anyone who look up to the snake will be preserved. So, also is Jesus Christ, he was raised up on the cross and Anyone who believe in him will have eternal life.

Irmela Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 Q2. (Numbers 21:4-9; John 3:14-15) What precipitated the plague of snakes? Is being impatient with God's provision a sin? Why or why not? What are the points of comparison between the bronze snake in the desert and Christ on the cross? This time the people complained openly about God and criticized His provision of food. This food had sustained them all the many years during their wanderings. Their legs did not swell from the fact that their food was not nutritious. God in His goodness knows what is best and being impatient with HIS provision is a sin because by that we are saying that it is not good enough and also we are saying that He does not know, we know better. Having faith in what God said and looking up; in the wilderness it was looking up to the bronze snake; later it was looking up to Christ on the cross, in faith, knowing that He was the One to save us.
