  6. This person was called a glutton and a drunkard. Who was he?
    John the Baptist
    Jesus
    Paul
    Peter

    Answer: Jesus
    (Mat 11:19 KJV) The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.

  7. Isaiah wrote:
    "Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God." (Isa 44:6 KJV)
    The word translated as "LORD" (all caps), from Hebrew to English, is the personal name of God (YHWH, Yahweh, or Jehovah). Knowing that, what does this tell us about the Messiah, the Redeemer?
    That Jesus was an exalted man
    That Jesus was like God
    That Jesus is the one and only true God, manifested in human flesh

    Answer: That Jesus is the one and only true God, manifested in human flesh
    (Isa 44:6 KJV) Thus saith the LORD (YHWH) the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD (YHWH) of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God."

    In the Hebrew, it is very clear, that we are being told that the redeemer is Yahweh, not just sent from Him. Yahweh is not the name for "God the Father," it is the name of God (applicable to all three persons of the Triune God ).

    Answer: Achan

So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it. And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and laid them out before the LORD. And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them unto the valley of Achor. And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.
