How to Give a Bible Study on The Mark of the Beast

Are there some good reasons to believe the Bible instead of any other book?

We only covered a few of these, but there's many other great reasons.

So say, okay, the God of the Bible, a lot of people still have a hard time, is this too loud or?

So, now we're gonna look at the question of evil the hardest question for the Christian faith Why is it there a guy that's all loving and all-powerful yet?

There's evil in this world So we need to wrestle with these ideas.

We need to be able to discuss this with our friends and give them good biblical answers.

So we're going to look at this problem of evil and see if we can't get our hands around this.

I'll let you guys copy that and then I'll tell you the purpose and center it.

And again, these brackets are just kind of things that we're going to refer to, so I put them in brackets.

So we're looking at the origin of evil, the outworkings of evil, the end of evil, and then an appeal.

Origin of evil, outworking of evil, end of evil, appeal.

I'm impressed not many of you guys snuck out the back.

To demonstrate that there is a cosmic conflict between God and Satan, and that God is not the originator of evil.

Center it upon the person of Jesus Christ.

Again, Jesus Christ is the solution to evil, not the originator of it.

Jesus Christ is the solution to evil, not the originator of it.

I use a lot of run-on sentences, and I'm trying to put everything into 1 sentence here.

Let's begin our Bible study in the book of Genesis.

We're looking at this first part, the origin of evil.

We're going to shuffle through some verses here.

All you want to point out to people here is the repetition of the word good.

You're going to point out all the times when the Genesis says that this is good.

God saw that the light was good and God separated the light from the darkness.

Verse 10, you can either just jot down these verses or underline them as we go.

Verse 10, God called the dry land earth and the gathering of the waters.

He caught seas God saw that it was good verse 12 the earth brought forth vegetation plants yielding seed after their kind and trees bearing fruit with seed and in them and after their kind and God saw that it was good verse 18 and to govern the day and night and to separate the light and the darkness, God saw that it was good.

This is the creation account, everything he's creating, he's looking at it and saying, it was good.

And finally, verse 31, God saw all that he had made and behold, it was, what does the Bible say?

God saw all that was made, it was very good, and there was evening and morning the first day.

We look around the world today and there's many words that we could use and I don't think many of us would say that it is very good.

That's something you can say to the person you're studying with.

God said He created it and it was very good.

Now we're going to go to Matthew chapter 13.

Matthew, Chapter 13, going to verse 24, God created, said it was good.

It's not good, something must have happened.

Matthew, first book of the New Testament.

Matthew 13, verse 24, and the Bible reads, Jesus presented another parable to them saying, the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed...

But while his men were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went away.

But when the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the tares became evident also.

The slave of the land over came to him and said sir.

How then does it have tears and he said to him these are 5 important words.

An enemy has done this underline that an enemy has done this The slave said to him do you want us then to go and gather them up?

But he said, no, for a while, while you're gathering up the tares, you may uproot the wheat with them.

Allow both to grow until the end of the harvest, and at the time of the harvest, and I will save the reapers.

First gather up the tares, and bind them in bundles, and burn them up, but gather the weed into my barb." So all you wanna point out here is that again, you see this parable that Jesus is telling, that it was good, it was good, there was tares, and who sowed the tares?

So you want to point out how much responsibility does the good sower take for the tares?

So in this instance, we don't have to scratch our heads.

Then he left the crowds and went into the house, and his disciples came to him and said, Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.

And he said to him, The 1 that sows good seed is who?

Okay so the 1 that sowed the good seed is the son of man.
