Discussion Questions:
Old Testament

  • God gave man “Dominion” in Genesis, ch. 1. Does “Dominion” include the right to use animals for food?
  • How are we to “subdue” the earth (Gen. 1:28)? God gave mankind dominion BEFORE they were expelled from the Garden of Eden. Was dominion taken from mankind AFTER the fall?

New Testament

  • The Devil likes to quote scripture. How accurate is the Devil?
