Lesson 3 (April 11-17), Jesus and the Apostles

It is Written

  1. Why did Satan have no response when Jesus said "It is written?"
  2. Does the Holy Spirit communicate directly to individuals too? How reliable is it?
  3. How important is it to memorize Scripture word for word?
Jesus and the Law
  1. What did the Jews understand by the term "law?"
  2. Can one love who does not observe the ten commandments? 
  3. What is meant by the "prophets" on whom also the law hangs?
Jesus and All Scripture
  1. Why were the disciples blind to the OT prophecies which were fulfilled in Jesus?
  2. Why was Jesus so careful to uphold Scripture?
  3. Did Jesus suggest that the Old Testament was outdated when he said ". . . but I say unto you?"
Jesus and the Origin and History
  1. Was Jesus attitude to the historicity of the Old Testament conditioned by the lack of such a question in His day?
  2. Did Jesus know Scripture better than those around Him, or were the others acquainted with His quotations of the Bible?
  3. Why didn't Jesus give the chapter and reference when he quoted Scripture? Do we need to do that?
The Apostles and the Bible
  1. Whom would you expect to doubt the veracity of the Bible more, fishermen or scholars? Why?
  2. Did the apostles appeal to Scripture because they were dealing with Jews?
  3. Is there any use remaining a Christian if we question the reliability of the Bible?
