Bible Study

This is for a Bible study that my friend Andy and I have on most Friday nights. If anyone would like to tackle some of these questions, please do.


Our questions for this week are from Genesis chapters 4-6


Chapter 4

1. 4:3-4 Cain brought an offering but Abel brought of the firstlings of his flock, does this mean Abel put more thought and effort into his offering?

2. 4:4-5 Why did God have respect unto Abel's offering and not Cains?

3. 4:7 Explain verse 7:

4. 4:8 Do you think that Abel was being proud and this only helped to kindle the flame of hatred in Cain?

5. 4:15 Why did God promise Cain revenge sevenfold?

6. 4:17 & 5:19 Were Cain's son Enoch and Jared's son Enoch two different people?

7.4:23-24 What is the point of verse 23? Who did Lamech kill? Why does Lamech get more revenge for his death than Cain?

8. 4:26 Why does the Bible mention that men began to call upon the name of the Lord after Seth begat Enos?

Chapter 5

1. 5:2 Who are they? Why did God call their name Adam?

2. 5:22-24 What does Enoch walked with God mean? Do you believe Enoch died? Why Enoch?

3. 5:29 Explain verse 29 about Noah:

Chapter 6

1. 6:2 Who are the sons of God and why are they the sons of God?

2. 6:3 Why did God say mans years shall be 120? and Why have there been people that have lived longer than that?

3. 6:6 Why would God make something he repented of?

4. 6:9 Was Noah perfect? Did Noah walk with God as Enoch did?

5. 6:17 If the point of the flood was to "destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die" What about the water dwelling creatures? Does the breath of life apply only to humans?

6. 6:21 Did Noah have to take every sort of fruit ang vegatable to preserve it?

Truth

In the world we live in people keep asking the question: "What is Truth?", "Who really knows it?", "Can you know the Truth?". How can we a Christians respond to all the religions, world views, and philosophy's that are attacking our God. What kinds of stones can we place in our slings to slay our giants. We know that our God is the true God, and the very essence of truth (if your not sure, make sure) Let us spread this truth to all we can. No one can stand in our way; "if God is for us, who can be against us?" (remember that its not the people we are fighting, its the the Devil, the prince of this world)
