Adult Sabbath School ~ Love and Judgement: God’s Dilemma (Hosea)
Posted in Calendar, Sabbath School ~ Adults, Study on March 31st, 2013
(from Good Word Online)
Theme: Love and Judgment: God’s dilemma (second of two lessons on Hosea)
Leading Question: How do we know when to use the heavy hand instead of the gentle hand with dealing with God’s people?
- The sharp contrasts between the threat of judgement and the promise of undeserving grace are everywhere present in the prophets. Does the text of Scripture give us any help on knowing when to use one or the other?
- What are the most vivid examples and metaphors of judgement in Hosea?
- What are the most vivid examples of grace?
- How can Matthew 2:9 say that Jesus’ going to Egypt with his parents “fulfilled” the words of the prophet, “out of Egypt have I called my son?” (Note: “Fulfill” can best be seen as “filling [the prophet’s words] full of new meaning.” It is not a prediction that has been fulfilled with precision. Chapter 7 of “Who’s Afraid of the Old Testament God?” comments on the whole question of messianic prediction and is an important consideration when the New Testament writers apply OT words to Jesus. That chapter can be found here)
Adult Sabbath School ~ Spiritual Adultery
Posted in Calendar, Sabbath School ~ Adults, Sabbath Service, Study on March 31st, 2013
(from Good Word Online)
Leading Question: “Why should modern Christians read the “minor” prophets?
All of our lessons this quarter focus on the so-called “minor” prophets, the last 12 books of the Hebrew Bible. The official study guide takes us through 10 of the books, leaving out only Obadiah and Nahum, and we study them in the order in which they appear in our English Bibles. In the Hebrew Bible, they are considered one book, “The Twelve”, and extend from the last few decades of the kingdom of Israel (Amos, Hosea) – Israel fell in 722 to the Assyrians – to some 150 years after the destruction of Jerusalem by Babylon (586 BC) the time Nehemiah (Malachi).
Lesson Focus: (Hosea – a total of two lessons)
- Introduction to the Minor Prophets:
- Why study the minor prophets? Should we leave out the tough stuff? Why and why not?
- The story of Gomer and Hosea:
- The sexual imagery is so stark – spiritual adultery. How can that be of value to a gentle Anglo-Saxon community?
- Does the story suggest that we should be less rigid when a pastor or his spouse go astray?
- What should we do with the OT law that declares no re-marriage for a divorced woman (Deut. 24.4). Are sexual mores more flexible in the Bible that we have imagined them to be?
