Lesson 5 | Power points | Sabbath School | Second Quarter 2015
1) In Bible times, slavery was common and slaves had no freedom or choice in their lives. Many early Christians were slaves.
2) Paul gave guidance to both slaves and masters in his letters. He told slaves to obey their earthly masters with sincerity and as if obeying Christ, serving wholeheartedly.

How we got the Bible modified pp
The document describes the process by which the Bible came to be, including inspiration/revelation, transmission, translation, and canonization. It discusses how the Bible originated from oral tradition and divine inspiration before being physically written down. Scribes carefully copied manuscripts by hand according to strict rules to ensure accuracy. The Dead Sea Scrolls provided early manuscripts that supported the accuracy of later copies. Eventually manuscripts were bound and stored as codices rather than scrolls. There are various theories regarding how God inspired the human authors of the Bible.
03 christ and religious tradition
While the scribes and Pharisees were responsible for teaching the law to the people, sitting in "Moses' seat", over time they elevated their own traditions to the level of Scripture. Their traditions, intended to help the people follow God's law, eventually replaced the law itself in importance. Jesus confronted them on this, saying their traditions invalidated the commandments of God. They had become hypocrites, focusing on outward displays rather than inward righteousness. Their strength of teaching the law became a weakness when the traditions superseded the law.
Jesus on the Kingdom of God
The document provides commentary on Luke 6:20-31 which describes Jesus' Sermon on the Plain. It discusses:
1. Jesus teaches that the poor, hungry, and weeping are blessed because they will receive God's kingdom, while the rich, full, and laughing will experience woes.
2. Jesus instructs his disciples to love their enemies, do good to those who hate them, and turn the other cheek. He teaches them to give without expectation of repayment.
3. The commentary concludes that the blessed life depends on God rather than wealth or pleasure, and is characterized by humility, hunger for God, weeping over sin, and being despised by the world. Living as Jesus commands by

2) Both groups will be rewarded by God for their efforts, as he shows no favoritism.
3) Masters are to treat servants with the same respect and obedience that they expect, recognizing they both answer to God as their true master.
The commentary emphasizes that Christians should approach every work task with a sincere heart focused on pleasing God rather than people.

02 pauls authority and gospel

13 the gospel and the church
1. Paul warns the Galatians to be careful not to fall into temptation when helping restore a brother who has sinned, as it is easy to feel superior and fall ourselves.
2. Christians are called to bear one another's burdens, as bearing burdens is how God's comfort is made manifest through his people. However, some burdens can only be borne by seeking help directly from God.
3. Sowing to the flesh brings a harvest of corruption, while sowing to the Spirit brings eternal life. Paul exhorts the believers to do good to all people, especially other Christians.
