Question: Genesis 6: 5, 6 in the King James Version (KJV) reads: 5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

Question: In Exodus 3: 7-10 the Lord declares to Moses that He intends to free the Israelites from slavery in Egypt (‘I have come down to rescue them . . .’). However, in Exodus 5: 1, 3 Moses asks Pharaoh for only a three-day journey into the desert so that they may ‘offer sacrifices’ to the Lord. Why the discrepancy?

Question: Accounts of the Last Supper in Matthew and Mark record that the breaking and distributing of the bread preceded the passing around of the cup. The following passage from Luke 22: 15-20 (with emphasis added) seems to confuse the issue. It implies that Jesus distributed two cups, or the same cup twice (17, 20). What is the explanation?

Question: Explain Matthew 6: 6.  But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Q. Why is Israel important to the world?

Q. Please explain Gen. 3: 17-19: ‘Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.
