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 8 (Nov 18-24) Who is the Man of Romans 7?

Dead to the Law

  1. Does there have to be a death in order for a person to be free to marry again, or is the culture and times different today?
  2. What is the difference in dying to the law, and the law dying? Why did Paul talk of the person dying in this case, and in other passages he speaks of the law being nailed to the cross?
  3. Can the fourth commandment be singled out for not being applicable any more?
Sin and the Law
  1. Can one know sin by any other means other than by the law?
  2. Why do some people want to do something just because there is a rule against it?
  3. We understand that the law points out sin and cannot save, but can the law condemn and destroy?
The Law is Holy
  1. What makes the law holy, righteous and good?
  2. How did sin affect humans physically so that we have propensities and lusts which Adam may not have had?
  3. Are there degrees of sin and sinners?
The Man of Romans 7
  1. Which is worse, to do something wrong, or to not do something we should be doing? 
  2. Is stealing and lying worse than not feeding the poor?
  3. What does victory over sin mean?
Saved from Death
  1. What does it mean for the old self to die at baptism if the old self still exists?
  2. Why does a person not need to be re-baptized again and again?
  3. Why do Christians not choose to receive Christ's strength to overcome sin, but want to sin?
