Genesis 3 – The Fall

February 2, 2016 by memullin

We move into the story of man’s separation from God in Genesis 3. In chapter 2, Adam is with God in the garden, but by the end of chapter 3, he and Eve will be forced to leave the garden and will be prevented from coming back by armed guards.

It all sounds very depressing, but in Genesis 3, God sets the stage for the coming Messiah (Jesus). From this point forward through the Bible, everything that occurs moves history and mankind toward the first and second comings of Jesus the Christ–the Promised Deliverer.

1. What technique does Satan use in Genesis 3:1 with Eve? Genesis 3:4-5?

2. What is wrong with the response of Eve in Genesis 3:2-3? (Review Genesis 2:16-17)

3. Can you think of one thing that Eve may have allowed to influence her decision to eat the fruit of the forbidden tree

4. What is one thing that Eve could have done to avoid being deceived by the serpent regarding the fruit? What is one thing Adam could have done to help Eve avoid being deceived?

5. What was the response of Eve and Adam to God after they sinned?

6. What technique does Adam use to explain his sin in Genesis 3:12? Eve in Genesis 3:13?

7. In Genesis 3:14-15, as God pronounces a curse on the serpent, we have the first hint of the coming Messiah. In verse 16, “her Seed” refers to the fruit of the womb of Mary.

8. What curse does God proclaim on Adam? Eve?

9. Why did God drive them from the garden?

10. What was the response of Eve and Adam to God after they sinned?

GENESIS 2 – The Sabbath

January 22, 2016 by memullin

The Sabbath

Many might hear the term “Sabbath” and think the concept is not relevant to a non-Jew in 2016. This would be faulty thinking, arising from a lack of biblical literacy. In fact, the Sabbath and the biblical teaching about the Sabbath is as relevant today as it was when it was given.

Read Genesis 2:1-3

1. What did God do on the 7th day of creation? Why do you think God set aside a day of rest for His people?

2. Copy Exodus 20:8 below. What does it tell you about the Sabbath in the eyes of God?

3. What purpose does God give for the Sabbath in Exodus 31:13-17?

4. What does God say about the Sabbaths in Ezekiel 20:12?

5. What did Jesus say about the Sabbath in Mark 2:27-28?

6. What does it means when God says the Sabbath was a sign between Him and the people of Israel?

7. What does it mean when God says He “blessed and sanctified” the Sabbath?

8. How can you apply these teachings on the Sabbath to your own life?

Building Biblical Literacy in 2016 – Bible Overview

January 5, 2016 by memullin

The Bible consists of 66 separate books written by 40 different authors over 1,600 years.

The Bible is divided into two parts, known as testaments. There are 39 books in the Old Testament and 27 books in the New Testament.

Italy-Old-Torah-Scrol_Horo-1

The Old Testament was written primarily in Hebrew, with some portions in Aramaic. The New Testament was written in Greek.

The Old Testament is divided into five sections, namely The Law, The History, The Wisdom and Poetry, The Major Prophets and The Minor Prophets.

The New Testament is divided into five sections, namely, the Gospels, the History of the early Church (the Book of Acts), the Pauline Epistles, the General Epistles and Prophecy (the Book of Revelation).

Knowing more about the Bible makes the Bible just a little bit easier to understand and study. This series of posts is designed to make the Bible smaller and more manageable for you to study day by day, line upon line and precept upon precept. (Isaiah 28:10)
