【正文】 So they decided to build a city for settling and a tower for worshiping the sun, moon and stars. Actuarially, this was a direct refusal to obey God’s mand to go out and fill the earth, because man chose to worship God’s creation instead of God himself. So later, God mixed up their language, causing them to stop building the city. Therefore, the name of that city became “Babel”, which means confusion。 because there the Lord multiplied language on the earth, causing people to scatter abroad. 1 How do you think of him (Abraham) as a father, a husband and an adherent? As a father, Abraham is not qualified. Because when God asked to sacrifice his only son to demonstrate his faith, he didn’t hesitated and he did what the Lord instructed him to do. He really was about to kill his son if without prevention of the angel. As a husband, Abraham has no definite idea and is also not qualified. He was loyal to God, but his faith was shacked when his wife told him to have a child with the maid. And when God asked to sacrifice his only son, he immediately agreed without considering his wife’s feeling. As an adherent, Abraham was loyal to God. When God asked Abraham to leave his country and travel to a land where God would make a great nation from him, he went there immediately. Even though Abraham and his wife had no children, Abraham still believed God that God would bless him and his descendants shall be countless. When God asked Abraham to sacrifice his only son to demonstrate his faith to God, he brought his son to the place where God pointed. When he decided to kill his son, the angel of Lord stopped him. All this showed that Abraham was loyal to God. 1 What spirit can you find in Abraham? Do you have experience in pursuing your own belief? I found worship and loyalty in Abraham.

The Ten Commandments say people should have no other God, so people in western society believe in one god who created the universe and all that in it. It’s very different from many people in china who believe in Buddhism, they could believe in many idols. And the Ten Commandments are actually God’s covenant. God is the law, so western society is a society ruled by God and no one can abuse freedom. Everyone is equal and everyone should obey the rules. Everyone has the equal rights, so, the western society is a democratic society which pays much attention to human rights. 1 How do those Bible stories influence the western society and the values such as freedom, democracy and equality? (答案同上。 ) 1 Who is Jesus Christ? Is he a man, or is he God? Jesus was a Jew and lived from about 3BC to was a person but of a somewhat different type than human beings. Our human beings make him look like God. He was the incarnation of God. According to the Bible, Jesus Christ, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary. However, the Jews didn’t believe him and Jesus was betrayed by one of his followers and was tortured to die on a Friday. He rose from the dead and ascended to heaven three days later. That was Easter Sunday. Jesus then appeared to his followers and helped them understand the significance of his death and resurrection. Actually, he was the Lamb of God who took the sins of the world away. 1 According to the Bible, why do human beings suffer? And what is the salvation? God created man in his own image and named the first man Adam。 then later Adam called the woman, Eve. God put them in a garden called Eden. God manded them to care for everything in the garden but never eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. But they failed to obey the mand and deceived by Satan and ate from it. Even and Adam distrusted God, so, human beings are born sin. So we deserve the suffering because of our sins. God knew that people would foolishly reject his leadership and instead try to be the God of their own lives, so, Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, was conceived by the Holy Spirit. He then was crucified and took away the sin of the world. So, it’s the salvation because Jesus Christ suffered on behalf of all of us, bearing the punishments that deserved because of our sins. 1 What is the Trinity? The Christian doctrine of the Trinity defines God as three divine persons the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit.
