Please do not email them to us unless you have questions. The answers and study materials are from the King James Bible.

Study Questions  

1. Many Christians confuse the contextual use of the word, works. We do not earn our salvation. This is a gift from God; however, James teaches that works are necessary to prove one’s faith. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without ­­­___________ is ____________?  James 2:20 If our actions do not line up with Scripture, we have a dead faith.

4. The SEED is a major theme throughout the Bible. Jesus Christ is that seed through which all believers are blessed. The first mention of SEED is in Genesis 3:15: And I will put enmity between thee [Satan/the serpent] and the woman, and between thy seed and her ­­__________; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. The seed that bruised Satan’s head was Jesus Christ. Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is ________. Galatians 3:16
   And if ye be ________ then are ye Abraham’s ­­­__________­, and heirs according to the promise. Galatians 3:29
5. God instructed Abram to leave his homeland and relatives: … Get thee out of thy country, and from thy __________ … Acts 7:3 He disobeyed by moving with his family to Haran and then when he left there … and ________went with him … Genesis 12:4
6. When Abram feared for his life, he jeopardized the SEED when he went down into Egypt and lied about Sarai being his wife. … he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou are a fair woman to look upon: Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me … Say, I pray thee, thou art my ­­____________ … Genesis 12:11-13

9. Faith requires that our actions line up with Biblical precepts. That requires that we are more than sorry for the sins in which we partake. It means that we turn totally from them: He that __________________ his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and ________________ them shall have mercy. Proverbs 28:13
10. Jesus Christ taught in many different ways that He and God were One. This is difficult for most of us to truly understand. That is perhaps part of our faith walk! Complete the following Scriptures which help us to understand this important teaching: I and my ­­­__________ [God] are ________. John 10:30
    
    Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him [Jesus] dwelleth all the fulness of the ­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­______________ bodily. Colossians 2:8-9
    
    Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son [Jesus], and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, ­­­­_________ with us. Matthew 1:23
    
    In the beginning was the Word [Jesus], and the Word was with God, and the Word was _______. John 1:1
    
    For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the ­­­­­_________, [Jesus] and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 1 John 5:7
11. God … gave [SENT] his only begotten son … John 3:16 Sadly, many new version authors do not translate the word monogene from their Greek text correctly. They translate mono (meaning only) but neglect gene (begotten). Begotten (sent forth from; came forth from, et. al) is contextually emphasized some 50 times in the book of John: … because they know not him that ________ me. John 15:21 … Jesus Christ, whom thou hast _______. John 17:3 For God ­______ … John 3:17 … I came out from thee … thou didst _______ me. John 17:8
12. Every word in the Bible is vital in God’s eyes, even every jot and tittle. Few understand the deep meaning of Matthew 5:18 from which these words are taken. Most Bible authors change these words and totally remove this important tie-in to the Old Testament Jesus is giving. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one­­­________ or one ­­__________ shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. These two words both refer to the language in which the Old Testament was originally penned: Hebrew. The “jot” represents the smallest letter of the Hebrew alphabet and “tittle” refers to the smallest strokes and curvatures that distinguish different Hebrew alphabetic letters.If you would like more study on this and many other important details preserved in the King James Bible, send for our book: Finding Loopholes in the Bible on Divorce and “Re-marriage” is like … Riding a Bike to Jamaica.
