(61) While few Christians complain or boycott and most pulpits remain silent, television, magazines, and movies promote unrighteous conduct. Unrighteous conduct brings God’s wrath upon us.

(64) In Hebrews 12:29 Paul was quoting Deuteronomy 4:_____

(65) In Lesson 7 we will discover that, in some of Paul’s writings, 30% of the verses are quotations of the Old Testament.

( )Yes. ( )No.

In Romans 15:4 the Apostle Paul said, “Now whatsoever things written aforetime were written for our learning.” In 1 Corinthians Paul referred to Israel history and said, “Now all these things (men tioned in verses 1-10) happened unto them for examples: and they were written for our admoni tion, upon whom the ends of the world are come.” So let’s look into “whatsoever things written afore time” in the Old Testament. What examples do we have to benefit us today?
