The fundamental question of ethics is:

who writes the rules - God or Us?

What is the deciding factor on if a prophetic book is considered to be major or minor?

Major prophet books were longer

Why did Jesus equate hatred to murder and lust to adultery?

Because God cares about our inner attitude just as much as our outer behaviors

Explain a problem with Moral Relativism

Any of the following work: 1. It relies on our feelings and our feelings are unstable 2. It relies on our feelings and our feelings lack perspective 3. When there is conflict, the winner isn't always the one who is right, but who is most powerful or most popular. 4. What if someone thinks that it's right to do something like killing people or stealing?

How should we, as Christians, determine if something is right or wrong? If we truly can't decide, what should we rely on and remember?

We need to 1. determine if the choice honors God. This is includes checking what the Bible says. 2. We need to determine if the choice honors God's creation of people (including ourselves). If we still can't figure out what is right or wrong, we need to rely on the Holy Spirit to guide us and remember that we are all sinners and will make wrong choices. But we have the redemption of Christ to forgive us when we make the wrong choice.

Prophesied during a time when the land of Israel had suffered from a great plague of locusts. Proclaimed this as a sign from God and a precursor to the Day of the Lord.

Noteworthy for being the most quoted of the prophets in the New Testament. Many passages are Messianic in nature, even predicting events in the life of Christ such as the virgin birth.

The most famous of the minor prophets because a giant sea animal was used to set him back on course after going astray. His mission was to tell the people of Nineveh to repent of their wrongdoings.

Was chosen by God to be an example to the people of Israel. His wife was unfaithful, but just like God, he never stopped loving her and always looked for her whenever she left him.

Predicts the destructions of Nineveh the great capital of the Assyrian empire. Evidently the reforms introduced by Jonah previously did not last long.

Makes his chief concern restoring the temple of the Lord. Despite the Hebrews return from captivity, the temple had not yet been fully rebuilt.

Identifies himself as a psalmist and musician by ending his book with a hymn of redemption and grace to be played on stringed instruments by the temple worship leaders

Contains a series of stern judgements directed toward Israel, Judah, and her neighbors for permitting idolatry and other sins in the land

Received vivid prophecies in the form of highly symbolic visions. Some revelations include things like a flying scroll, olive trees, and women with wings. Several of the passages are Messianic in nature

A reformer who directs his message toward corrupt priests and those who withhold their offerings from the Lord. The last book before the New Testament

Was heavily persecuted for his prophesies during the Babylonian siege. He often used metaphors such as the potter and the clay to illustrate God's message to the people. Known as the weeping prophet, he is also believed to be the author of Lamentations

Prophesied during Israel's captivity in Babylon. He often received elaborate visions from God such as the Vision of Dry Bones where skeletons come to life to form a great Army. Almost every aspect of his life served a symbolic purpose, from how he cooked his food to the way he slept at night.

A sheep breeder and a tender of fig trees by trade, but God used him to bring a powerful word of correction to Israel and the surrounding nations.

The shortest book in the old testament with only 21 verses. The book is a proclamation of judgement against Edom for aiding the Babylonians in their siege against Jerusalem

Taken captive to Babylon at a young age. His gift was to translate dreams gave him favor with kings. He often received prophetic visions of his own about the distant future. On one occasion he was thrown into a den of lions for serving God exclusively, but the Lord rescued him.

This prophet lamented without wearing clothes in order to illustrate the severity of the destitution and captivity that was coming.

Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Through Him, all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made.

For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
