INTERNATIONAL RlsE aRnApcAsTsR

! cuestlon--what Is the bssettinc
sin mentioned in the Holy Blbls9
Answer-The term. "besetting
SIM" is not in the Bible. The near
est to this phrase is in Hebrews
12:1-''the sin which doth so easily
beset u.s." which the context indi-
Gates is the sin of unbelief.
o.-Do you think the devil will
ever die?
A.-Certainly. 1t is written in He,
brews 2:14: ''Forasmuch then as
the children are partakers of flesh
and blood. He also Himself likewise
took part of the same; that through
death He might destroy him that
had the power Of death, that is, the
devil"
Q.---How often did Jesus offer
sacrifices In the temple?
A.-The Scriptures do not say
that He ever offered q sacrifice
there. A sacrifice was offered for
Him by Joseph and Mary when He
was eight days old (See Luke
2:21.24.) "And to offer a sacrifice
according to that which is said in
the law Of the Lord, A pair Of tur-
tledoves, or two young pigeons"
Verse "a.
c.--Aeeordlng to the Holy Bible,
I know that sinners will have to re-
pent, but what about people who
have not sinned?
A.-The Bible says in Romans
1923: "For all have sinned, and
come short of the glory Of Cod"
Also Romans 5:12: Wherefore, as
by one man sin entered into the
world, and death by sin; and SO
death passed upon all men, for that
all have sinned."
o.-Where does the Bible say
that wife Is to be a helpmate TO
her husband?
A.-Nowhere. Genesis 1880.
says: "And the Lord God said, 1t is
not good that the man should be
alone; win make him an help
meet for him. And out of the ground
the Lord God formed every beast
of the field, and every fowl Of the
air; and brought them unto Adam
to see what he would call them:
and whatsoever Adam called every
living creature. that was the name
thereof. And Adam gave names to
all cattle, and to tie fowl OF the
air, and to every beast of the field;
but for Adam there was not found
an help meet for him" Notice, It
is IAN help meet Tor suitablel for
him"
