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 (Feb 16-22), Satan, A Defeated Enemy

The Woman and the Dragon
  1. How is a woman a better symbol than a man for God's church?
  2. What makes the dragon an appropriate symbol for the devil? Why would a mythical creature be used rather than one from nature?
Satan Cast Down to Earth
  1. Why do you think Satan was successful in winning so many angels (one third) to his side?
  2. What was the nature of the war in heaven between Michael and Satan? Would killing the rebels have prevented a lot of evil and suffering in the universe?
The War on Earth
  1. Why did God allow Satan access to heaven even after his expulsion?
  2. Why did God allow such a long time for Satan's character to be proved? Wasn't it enough by the time Jesus came to earth?
War Against the Remnant
  1. Of the two marks of the remnant in Rev 12:17 is one more important than the other?
  2. Can one be saved without either of the two marks of the remnant? That is, will some be saved who have not kept all the commandments? Can one be saved who has not heard of Jesus? If yes, what then is the meaning of the marks of the remnant?
Satan's End-time Strategy
  1. Could the miracles of healing seen on TV and in large meetings from be genuine?
  2. Should there be more examples of healing by Adventist pastors and lay members? What is the reason there is so few? Why do pastors not call on people to rise up and walk in the name of Jesus?

Lesson 6 (Feb 2-9), The Sealed People of God

Restraining the Wind

  1. On the whole does wind do more good or bad for humans? What would happen if winds were actually stopped by God?
  2. Would we want the seal of God to be a visible seal on our foreheads? How visible is our witness for Sabbath-keeping? How public is our witness to being a Christian believer?
The Sealed People of God
  1. Why is the number twelve so important to God?
  2. Do we have to somehow associate with one of the twelve tribes of Israel in order to be saved? If you could choose which tribe you wished to belong to, what would be your choice? Why?
The Great Multitude
  1. Is it desirable to be part of the 144,000 or is it better to be part of the multitude in heaven? What do the 144, 000 have to do be part of that number?
  2. Would you like to go through the time of trouble or would you rather die before that?
Those Who Follow the Lamb
  1. Why would the 144, 000 follow Jesus wherever He went? Would you like to follow Him everywhere, or would you like to go somewhere by yourself?
  2. What does "first fruits" mean? Are they first in time or first in quality?
Salvation to Our God and the Lamb
  1. Will the remnant awaiting translation eventually become sinless or will sin continue till Jesus comes?
  2. What does spotless and blameless mean?
  3. If someone were to ask you what Jesus is like, what would be your answer? Do you just know about Him, or do you know Him? How can I tell the difference?
