Africa Activity 8 months agoThe doctrine of Salvation lesson 5
The Presence of sin part 1
In this lesson the lecturer share an in depth look at the root of sin and is presence. I particularly found it interesting on the identification of how Adam was disobedient towards God directly where as Eve it would seem was not directly instructed by God not to eet from the tree…

Great summary, Brother Andries!
The storyline of the Bible traces the origin of sin from one man, the First Adam, to the defeat of sin in one man, the Last Adam (Jesus). Adam puts us all into trouble, but Jesus delivers us all from it by means of His blood.

I have learnt something profound that ” the milk of the word are the basic truths of the word of God that are elementary whilst the meat of the word are deeper truths that are not easily understood, we are taught to desire and be obedient to basic truths of the word and search for the meat of the word of God to move from milk to meat.”

Great summary, Pastor @Joe
Studying the Bible is not just something we wake up to, it’s a solemn exercise we must always be prepared for, and what better way to prepare to study God’s word than to have God’s Spirit filling us and leading daily!

MODULE 5: SESSION 27: Cain Fails His Test
The blood of the innocent crying out to God from the ground is a key motif in the biblical narrative that moves God to action. The actions of Cain align him with the “seed of the snake” not the “seed of the woman.” The same happens across genealogies when hey do ra’ like hating a…
-
The “seed of the snake” and the “seed of the woman” it is intriguing as these statements is used in the lessons that I am doing currently, the doctrine of salvation. How God uses the failure of man to pave the road to salvation for all whom accepts Jesus. Thank you

MODULE 6: Humans and Their Role in the Cosmos
SESSION 27: The Rulers Below
Humans are meant to image or mirror God (Gen. 1:26-27). Humans image God by their unity and diversity as one humanity made of male and female (Gen. 1:26-27). God is dianthropic meaning he desires and designs to work through (Grk. dia) human beings (Grk.…
-
That’s right! We’re imagers of God, and He has chosen to give us authority and stewardship over creation. We will also give account to Him if how we used our authority.

MODULE 5: SESSION 27: Narrative Analogy: Sarai and Genesis 3
The story of Abram and Sarai in Genesis 12:10-20 is set on analogy to Genesis 3 through the use of repeated words. The story is an example of one of the main themes of the Bible the complex and tragic human condition as people give into temptation…

Great reflection there on how character roles can be inverted from one story to another.

MODULE 5: SESSION 26: Offerings at the Door of the Garden
Cain and Abel introduce the biblical pattern of shepherds representing reliance on God and farmers representing self-reliance. The Hebrew Bible does not say that God rejected Cain’s offering rather he favored Abel’s offering more than Cain’s. Here we learn that Yahweh’s favor…

What a lesson in our time and generation of financial independence through what God has already provided through farming the land.

That’s right! God favored one above the other. The story unfolds in a really interesting way to teach us the need for repentance rather than rebellion and anger.

MODULE 5: The Unity of Heaven and Earth
SESSION 26: The Rulers Above
The sun, moon, and stars of Genesis 1 are heavenly beings. Heavenly beings are called “signs” (Gen. 1:14) because they are symbols of the true source of light. Heavenly beings form God’s divine council, his staff team who are under his divine command. The word…
