Welcome

Many Sabbath School class teachers either preach a sermon to their class or deliver a monologue on the whole lesson, going through it "day-by-day." The most rewarding sessions involve the members in discussion. These questions here are intended to stimulate the active participation of the members in your class. Of course pertinent information imparted by the teacher is also very valuable, for which there are many resources in print and on the internet. This site seeks to provide a resource for discussions.

If you are a member and not a teacher and your class is boring, try asking questions such as these in your class.

Lesson 7 (May 11-17), Christ, the End of the Law

Where Sin Abounded

  1. What makes sin sin?
  2. Is there any sin too great for grace?
  3. What would have been the situation if Jesus had also sinned once? Could the Father have forgiven Him?


Law and Grace

  1. If a person living under grace has to keep the law how can we say that the person is not under the law?
  2. Can a human get rid of propensities and rise above temptations in this life?
  3. Are Adventists too legalistic, placing too much emphasis on the law? 


O Wretched Man

  1. If Paul was so confident about grace why did he despair so much about his struggle with sin?
  2. Should one feel guilty about sinful thoughts before sin is committed? 
  3. At what point does temptation become sin?


The Goal of the Law

  1. What was the purpose of giving humans a law if no one would be able to keep it? 
  2. If nobody can keep the law is something wrong with the law? Why or why not?
  3. Why is keeping the law legalistically, as useless as not keeping the law?


The Disciplinarian

  1. Would humans prefer to have been created to serve God without the power of choice and without the opportunity to sin?
  2. Would God have preferred having humans who had no chance to rebel?
  3. Can we resist the tempter at times in our own strength and will power or is that impossible?
  4. Does God prompt us every time the devil tempts us or is it our conscience?
