Discussion Questions:

Old Testament

  • Why does God caution the Israelites to have nothing to do with the foreigners they will encounter (Exodus 34:11-16)?
  • Why did God require the fire on the altar to be kept burning; and not allowed to go out? (Leviticus 6:12-13)?

New Testament

  • What do we make of the message from the wife of Pontius Pilate? Matthew 27:19
  • Why did Pontius Pilate wash his hands after ordering that Jesus be crucified (Matthew 27:24)?
  • What are the consequences of the Jews saying His blood be on us and on our children: Are any/all of these views on the Jews guilt really just disguised anti-semitism?? Is it a fair statement to say that the Jews killed Christ? (Matthew 27:25)
  • What is the importance of the Resurrection to Christians? (Matthew 28:1-10)
