Discussion Questions:2
Old Testament

  • If God knows everything why did He ask Satan where he had been? Job 1:7.
  • Why did God give Satan power over all that Job had–even the power to kill Job’s children? Job 1:12, 19.

New Testament

  • Chapter 13 of 1 Corinthians is often referred to as the “Love Chapter.” The King James Version translates “love” as “charity.” Does that choice of words here change the meaning?
  • Does 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 mean that women should not speak in church services today?

Discussion Questions:
Old Testament

  • God warned the Israelites to not intermarry with the foreigners in the lands they conquered. What was the purpose of this rule? Does the rule have anything to do with who Christians should marry?

New Testament

  • Jesus praised the widow who gave a small amount. So why do we usually only praise people who give large amounts?
  • What did Jesus mean when he said, “Most certainly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.” Luke 18:15-17.
