Discussion Questions:
Old Testament
- Deuteronomy 23:19-20 prohibits charging interest (usury) on loans to other Israelites (brothers), but permits it as to strangers (foreigners). What is the reason for this rule; and should we extend this rule to prohibit charging interest on a loan to a Christian brother?
- Deuteronomy 24:1-4 sets out rules for divorce. Should we consider these rules to mean that God approves of divorce? Could a man divorce his wife for any trivial reason (or no reason at all)?
New Testament
- Why did Jesus tell a potential follower to not take time to even bury his father? Luke 9:59-60.
- Does Luke 12:29 mean we not should care at all about what we eat or our other physical needs, because God will take care of everything?
