Lesson: Numbers: Chapters 5-7 03/27/2010
~~~~~Lesson: Numbers: Chapters 5-7 In the beginning of chapter 5, multiple people are expelled from the camp because they are "unclean." And they are unclean mostly because of skin disease or a discharge that isn't their fault! Question: Can you think of a reason God would expel them for something that was beyond their control? (Even scholars have trouble with a good answer...so, there is no wrong answer! Just take a shot in the dark and see what we come up with) Would it be right to expel someone from church because of these reasons? In 5:5-10, we learn that if someone cheats someone else (either by accident or on purpose), they must not only confess their sin, but also pay back the amount plus one fifth. Question: If we followed this rule today, would the world be a better place? Why or why not? Do you think confession of sin is important? Why or why not? Next we learn of the "Nazirite vow" and how someone dedicates themselves to God for a certain time frame. Question: Have you been on any type of retreat? Did you feel closer to God during that time? Do you think the concept of dedicating yourself to God for a certain time frame is practical today? Why or why not? Comments Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
