What is a weight and is it a sin
1. A standard of measurement .
2. It can be something that weighs a person down.
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."
(Hebrews 12:1-2)

Keep it simple:
Start with obey your parents.
"Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”
(Ephesians 6:1-3)
Then obey God!
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

"Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped (held on to), but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross!"

How can you help prevent sinning?
Overcoming sin starts with being in Christ.
"But now a righteousness from God, apart from law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus."

Every Bible character is important because he/she is part of actual history.

Is Divorce A Sin If You Get Married And Realize You Don't Like The Person You Married?
There are only two reasons for divorce. One is for marital unfaithfulness. (Matthew 5:31,32)
The second is if the spouse is an unbeliever and gives you a divorce. (Read I Corinthians 7:16)
God wants folk who are married to stay together. It may be a matter of learning to like a spouse.
Why was Jesus ignored? Why wouldn't people just listen to the things he said?
What Jesus taught was radical. The religious leaders knew Jesus was making their life leadership unnecessary. They saw him as a threat to their way of life. Others just did not want to listen. And as fulfillment of prophecy so Jesus would die.

Doing confirmation with my class am looking for a good story that will help them understand the holy spirit.
The Holy Spirit is one of 3 Spirits that make up God. (God the Father, God the Son and God the
Holy Spirit). He is referred to as the counselor or comforter.
"But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you." (John 14:26)
The best way I know how to explain three Spirits in one is water. Water is found in 3 forms...solid, liquid and gas. All three forms have different functions.

In Hebrews ch 8, its talking about the priesthood and it talks about the new covenant.  In v. 7 what is the first covenant it mentions.  I believe it has something to do with Moses, but i don't know if it is the ten commandments or the covenant about them going to a land flowing with milk and hoeny.  Or an another one.  (Just to make sure the second covenant is the one involving Jesus being crucified for our sins 'John 3:16' or am i wrong). Thank you
The Old Covenant is the Mosaic Law, which includes the 10 commandments. The Mosaic Law was given to the Israelites only (Heb. 8:8-12)...and was replaced by the New Covenant (v.13) The significance of blood is found in 9:11-15.
"When Christ came as high priest of the good things that are already here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not man-made, that is to say, not a part of this creation. He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption. The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!
For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant."

How long did it take Noah to build the ark?
When God called Noah it mentions his three sons Shem, Ham and Japheth. (Genesis 6) Shem was likely the oldest. In reading the context, we know Noah and Mrs. Noah did not have Shem for 500 years. Genesis 11:10 tells us Shem was 100 years old 2 years after the flood, so he was 97 or 98 when the flood came.
If we give just a reasonable number of years between the three sons, it took around 75 years to build the ark.

How to explain the children of Israel bring gifts of free will and how to demonstrate it.
God to biblegateway.com and put in the word freewill.
The Israelites were commanded to give a minimum of 10% of their income. On top of this they were provided ways to show appreciation by giving freewill offerings. One example is Exodus:36:3 where they could give to the building of the Sanctuary (tabernacle).
Have your students decide on a project and give either time of money to do the project. The emphasis should be their freewill offering should be what they earn or give personally...not what they can ask others to give.

Depending on what they know, I would recommend starting at the beginning with the book of Genesis, which includes many familiar stories like Noah, Abraham, etc. This will give them an overall understanding of the history of the Bible.

I know that when you are Christian you have to be ....... well good really. But how are you meant to be good when other people are rude or insult or annoy you and you loss your temper and they say you meant to be a Christian girl so how can you keep your temper.
Christianity is based on all our sins being forgiven when we believe in the ability of Christ to save us through our trust and obedience to Him. We are baptized into Christ. (Go to Jesus, the Only Savior for more information.)
Living the Christianity life is a process. As a young Christian, you learn to control emotions by understanding the Jesus is with you.

How many animals were on the ark?

But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly."

Why did Jesus turn water into wine?
This was the first miracle Jesus did. The gospel of John tells us the purpose of His miracles.
Two important, interesting statements from our study of the book of John.
Can a Christian drink wine as long as he/she doesn't get drunk and do it to where it will offend someone? What does the bible say?
There are 2 problems:
1. Do not get drunk.
"The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God."
(Galatians 5:19-21)
2. Do not drink if it cause another to stumble.
Paul discusses eating (which would include drink) in I Corinthians 10:23-29)
"Everything is permissible"—but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible"—but not everything is constructive. Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others.
Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience, for, "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it."
If some unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you without raising questions of conscience. But if anyone says to you, 'This has been offered in sacrifice,' then do not eat it, both for the sake of the man who told you and for conscience sake-
the other man's conscience, I mean, not yours. For why should my freedom be judged by another's conscience?"
Follow Paul's reasoning in vs. 32, 33.
"Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God— even as I try to please everybody in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved."

If I have to read a big part of the Bible for a Bible homework page and I don't understand it, do you know where to find a children's summary so that it is shorter and easier to understand?
Two suggestions:
1. Make sure you read from a modern translation. I recommend the New International Version.
2. Study our material on Understanding the Bible and How to study the Bible.

My 10 yr old son was told by another child at school today that any kind of sex is ok as long as there's a sheet with a hole in it between the two people. The boy told my son his father read it to him from the bible. Is this true? I've never heard such a thing. I feel embarrassed to ask someone at my church.

To what extent of relevance will the thought "that everything has a polarity" have when Christ comes back, "my words are like a double edged sword".
"Keep reminding them of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen."
(II Timothy 2:14)

Jesus said to love your enemies but Proverbs 22:10 says to throw the mockers out.....so should we really throw the mockers out or to love them?
"Drive out the mocker, and out goes strife; quarrels and insults are ended."
This verse has nothing to do with love, it has to do with getting rid of strife.

Zoey
If the Jews were God's "special children", then why do so many Christians have a problem with them not believing in Christ? I personally believe that they believe in the same God and can enter the same Heaven. Is it wrong to think this way?
The simple answer is that Jesus came to fulfill the covenant God gave to the Israelites...their special position. It was done through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. (Hebrews 9)
Now, there is another chosen people...those who believe in Jesus are saved.
"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven (Jesus) given to men by which we must be saved."
(Acts 4:12)
Jesus, the Only Savior.

What if the Bible is a work of Satan and there is no such thing as God and everyone burns in Hell for eternity? That's what my youth leader keeps telling us but I wanted a second opinion on it...
If the Bible is not true, there is nothing...no liar named Satan, no hell, no heaven, no eternity and no hope. Either your youth leader is just trying to get you to think for yourself, or it is time to replace your youth leader with someone who believes.

Jonah
Why don't we follow the Old Testament's 613 commandments as well as the 10 that Moses gave us? How do I explain to my teacher that the first 10 aren't good enough?
You might try to convince your teacher that none of the Mosaic Law is good enough. It has been abolished and replaced with the law of grace through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.
"But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, and it is founded on better promises. For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another."
(Hebrews 8:6,7)
"By calling this covenant "new," he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear."
(Hebrews 8:13)
"For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant."
(Hebrews 9:15)

My granddaughter is 8 years old and more mature than children her age. She is questioning whether or not God is real. What scripture can I use to help her understand the truth?
This is a common question among all ages.
"...then I saw all that God has done. No one can comprehend what goes on under the sun. Despite all his efforts to search it out, man cannot discover its meaning. Even if a wise man claims he knows, he cannot really comprehend it."
(Ecclesiastes 8:17)
"For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse."
(Romans 1:20)
"By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible."

In your opinion what is the most important thing that today's teens can learn from the Book of Hebrews?
Actually there are 4 things:
Jesus destroyed the power of the devil.
"Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil—and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death."
(Heb. 2:14)
The blood of Jesus cleans us up.
"How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!"
(Heb. 9:14)
We are to assemble together to be encourage.
"Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching."
(Heb. 10:25)
We are to throw off 2 things: Hindrances and Sin.
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us."
(Heb. 12:1)

Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."

My 9 year old son doesn't understand how God and Jesus are the same. How can we explain this to him in a way he will understand?
The truth is human thinking cannot fully understand this relationship. The best way I have heard to explain the Trinity is water. Water is in three forms: solid, liquid and gas...but it is all water.
The best Bible passage I know is Philippians 2:
"Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped (held on to), but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross!"

You are right!
God could have created an army of robots to worship him...but robots do not love. He has given us the choice...based on love and understanding. The Garden of Eden is a symbol of our reward in Heaven.

Deb
My daughter is greatly confused about the Lucifer being cast out of heaven and devils or demons present on earth. She's afraid that God would cast her out of heaven once she gets there. How do I explain this?
Demons were created by God. They are not human. The Bible is clear: Jesus destroyed the power of Satan through his death and resurrection.
"Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death."
(Hebrews 2:14,15)
Satan is powerful, but limited. Anyone who is in Christ has nothing to fear from Satan or demons.
"Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."
(James 4:7)
When a person is in heaven, there is no power that can change our relationship with God.

Are God and Satan of equal power? If God is more powerful, why do we need Satan around to make us do bad things?
God is all-powerful. Satan is the creation of God. Jesus destroyed the power of Satan.
"Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil—"
(Hebrews 2:14)
God does not want robots to love and serve Him. He has given us free will to love him with all our hearts, or reject him will all our hearts. If we insist on rejection his will, he will let us do so.
"Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to..."
