Topelee K. Nardor, Sr.

Q1. a. We are struggling to submit because we don't do it with the help of the Holy Spirit. Anything a Christian does on his/her own is always difficult. b. No. However, my talking should be geared toward correction/improvement. I should be respectful in doing so. c. The balance is that external beauty is good but when it is placed over the internal then God's glory is not in it. Whatever one does as a Christian must always reflect the glory of God. Q2. a. It is because of the fear of our persecutors. b. Fear is the cause. We don't focus on Christ but our fear. c. All four are most needed. Q3. a. To cultivate inner beauty the woman should be: 1. Respectful. God requires humbleness of us in order to lift us up. 2. The woman must practice faithfulness which expresses her purity. 3. Meekness is also an integral part of this business. Your Christlikeness should be seeing through your quietude b. We gain character by allowing the spirit of God to control us. Being saturated with the Holy Spirit, fruits of good characters that God desires of us will surely develop. c. Godliness is enshrined in true character. A peaceful, righteous, kind...God can never support the contrary. d. When the Christian woman's character finds its strength in courage, no matter whatever difficulties she faces from her husband she will win his love. Q4. a. He should do that because women are weaker but spiritually equal with man. b. It shows love because their home will be peaceful. c. It expresses the biblical principle that the man and woman are "one flesh." d. Men who practice dominance in their homes, do not consider God in their relationship so they do as they feel. e. In the sane vein woman try to dominate their husbands either based on their social statuses in the society. Those who do are not godly women. f. It harms both the relationships between the husband the wife and God. h. God created all men equal so anyone who practices dominance over others dishonors God's plan for equality. Q5. a. God will not listen to their prayers. b. The wife's sin will set a barrier between her and God. He will not listen to her.

Q4. a. Christ's example speaks endurance, restraint and patience to my situation for salvation's sake. b. My behavior will now be clothed with humility and perserverance in obedience to God's command.

Q3. a. It helps us react soberly and responsibly. b. Yes. A conscientious Christian can be a complainer because he/she is a human like any other human being. However, the complain can be in the form of understanding and amicably resolving such issue that prompted the complain. c. I believe that every problem in the life of a Christian comes for a purpose either to point to your own sin or a test of commitment. You therefore have to view your treatment in whatever form it comes in light of scripture and wait for God's own solution to such problem.

Q2. a. If we did then God's expectation would be fulfilled. b. It will be a clear rejection of salvation and the denial of the gospel.

Q1. a. If we live an exemplary-obedient and submissive life amongst non-believers God's glory will be seen through that. What makes us different from others-obedience and submission depicts God's glory. b. god is hurt when we refuse to do what he expects us to do. His purpose for salvation has been thwarted in our lives by our refusal.

a. Holiness is to beset aside for the service of God. It means to accept long suffering-forgetting about those crocket deeds that you depend on for living and looking up to God alone. b. We must refrain from conforming to the pattern of this world. Let us live our lives in Christ. c. My biggest struggle sexual desire.

a. The coming of Christ is the hope and final prove of our salvation because when he fails to come then Christianity is a failure. Our hope for salvation will be fruitless. Our sins will remain unforgiving. b. It should inspire hope because it consummates our final salvation; we will be rewarded for our faith; Christ will be glorified; God will inspect our work; He will prove the righteous and crown them, and He will give you restoration, str4egth, confirmation and stability. (1:5-9, 17; 2:12; 4;5; 5:4, and 5:10). c. Christ's second coming should inspire self-control, soberness because the one who cannot control himself is not fit for the kingdom of God. A drunkard who is not sober will either destroy other people's property or destroy himself. Those who await this second coming must be sober and self-controlled. d. Our lives will remain an affront to God. We will continue to do what we feel like.

a. Despite our abject conditions because of sin, God shows his great mercy through the waiver of our sins when he sent son to die as a penalty for the sins that deserve punishment for. He gives us rebirth to become his children. This rebirth-salvation he now preserves. b. It is therefore our obligation to believe-have faith that what God has done for us is real and dependable.

Christ's example speaks endurance, restraint and patience to my situation for salvation's sake. My behavior Wll now be clothed with humility and perseverance in obedience to God's command.

It helps us to react soberly and responsibly. (sorry, this answer was misplaced in q1,) Yes. (Matthew 18:15ff). A conscientious Christian can be a complainer because he/she is a human like any other human being. However, the complain can be in the form of pointing out some wrong with the intention of correcting it. Otherwise, a conscientious Christian would remain silent and look up to God for vindication. I believe it that every problem in the life of a Christian comes for a purpose either to point out your own sin or a test of commitment. You therefore have to view your treatment in whatever form it comes light of scripture and wait (Isa. 43:2).

If we did then God's expectation would be fulfilled. It will be a clear rejection of salvation and the denial of the gospel.

It helps us to react soberly and responsibly.

If we live an exemplary-obedient and submissive life amongst non-believers God's glory will be seen through that. What makes us different from others-obedience and submission depicts God's glory' God is hurt when we refuse to do what he expects us to do. His purpose for salvation has been thwarted by our rebellion.
