Biblical Studies
In biblical studies, we did a couple of inductive bible studies. Inductive bible studies is a file where helped us to reflect on passages from the bible that is given by Mr. Jared. I learned how to be a risk- taker, reflective and open minded after i read the given passages. In the near future, I will improve my effort in class and be more attentive.
This is the examples:
2 Peter 3:1-14New International Version (NIV)
The Day of the Lord3 Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders to stimulate you to wholesome thinking. 2 I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles.
3 Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 4 They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” 5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. 6 By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. 7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.
8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.[a]
11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12 as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming.[b] That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. 13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.
14 So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him.
INDUCTIVE BIBLE STUDIES
For each passage that you are assigned to read, answer the following questions:
1. What did you find interesting in this passage?
I find it interesting because the passage talks about a new heaven, new earth. So it is like the end of the world, where all mankind will be extinct.
2. What did you like about this passage?
I like this passage when it says that the days with God would be like thousand years. The days with God, would be very fun and very interesting because being with God is fun to me.
3. What bothers you about this passage? (What don’t you like?)
What bothers me is that why does everything will be destroyed by fire. It will hurt really bad, and I’m scared.
4. What does this passage tell us about God?
That God will come to earth and judge us, if we will go to heaven or not, it is just like the judgement day. So God will come and judge all man kind.
5. What does this passage tell us about man?
This passage tells me that man has two attitudes, bad and good, and God will judge from that attitudes. So we could be in Heaven or in Hell.
6. What does this passage tell us about living to please God?
This passage tells me that if we please God we could go to heaven, but if we just please God and not put an effort into, if you don’t mean it, it means nothing. So we should do it, mean it and God will be pleased by our actions. I think that is what I god from this passage.
