QUESTIONS & ANSWERS


1 Nephi 17:40

Q:   Who does he say the Lord loveth? (Dad)
A:   "Their fathers...Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." (Kenyon)  "Those who will have him to be their God." (Shaylee)  "Yes, you're both right."  (Dad)



1 Nephi 17:41

Q:   Why did the Lord send forth the fiery serpents among the Israelites in the wilderness? (Dad)
A:   "To see if they would listen to God and follow His way to be healed." (Shaylee)  "Yes, but He first sent them because of their iniquities. And the way He made it so they could be healed was simple and to give a type to help them understand and prepare for Jesus."  (Dad)



1 Nephi 17:43

Q:   Why did it take 40 years for the Israelites? (Dad)
A:   "Because they hardened their hearts against the Lord." (Shaylee)  "And they reviled or rebelled against Moses too, which is not surprising since the prophet is the voice of the Lord on earth. So when people reject one they reject the other. You cannot reject the Lord's prophet without also rejecting the Lord."  (Dad)
