Question 1: Why was Canaan so horribly cursed because Ham happened to see his father, Noah, unclothed? What was so evil about seeing "the nakedness" of his father? Question 2: "I'm confused about Luke 22:36. If Christians are not to fight, why did Christ tell those who had no sword to go and buy one?" Question 3: In Romans 2:11, we read: "There is no respect of persons with God." Romans 9:13 says that God loved Jacob and hated Esau. Wasn't God being a respecter of persons? Question 4: In I Samuel 15:3, God commanded Saul to "go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass." Why did God have to deal so harshly with these people? Question 5: Many passages in the Psalms tell us we should "bless God." What does this mean? How can a man bless God? - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
