MODULE 1: HOW WE GOT THE BIBLE
(ORAL AND WRITTEN TRADITION)

Learning Activities

Activity 2: Discuss:
a. The classifications of the books of the bible.
There are two classifications of the books of the bible. These are the Old Testament
and the New Testament. The Old Testament contains thirty nine books that were originally
written in Hebrew by about thirty two men over 1500 B.C to 400 B.C. This part of the bible
tells the beginning where God created the world and man. The books in the Old Testaments
are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2
Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Psalms,
Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel,
Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai,
Zechariah, and Malachi. The New Testament contains twenty seven books originally written
Greek by about eight men over 52 A.D to 97 A.D. It has the records of God’s covenant for
men today. It contains the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Romans, 1
Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 Thessalonians, 2
Thessalonians, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon, Hebrews, James, 1 Peter, 2 Peter, 1
John, 2 John, 3 John, Jude, and Revelation.

b. The historical relationship of the OT to the land of Egypt, Babylonia and Assyria.
The name of towns, cities, battles, kings, empires and great events, widely apart in
time and place, are given without a blunder. The ruins of cities of Assyria, Egypt and Babylon
have been unearthed and tablets found that prove the accuracy of the Bible narrative.
These tablets corroborate the stories of the creation and fall of man, of the flood, the tower
of Babel, the bondage in Egypt, the captivity, and many other things. This accuracy gives us
confidence in the reality of the book.

c. Reasons why we need to study history before we study the content of the Bible.
We need to study the history before we study the content of the Bible because we
will understand better the bible when we learned the history of the books. It will help us to
know better the contents, the oral and written traditions, on how God teach His preaching
and how is it spread.

31-33. Land, Seed, Nation
34. Book
35. Hebrew

V. Essay
36-40. Why is the first age called the “Patriarchal Period”?
The first age is called the “Patriarchal Period” because in the first place God
revealed His will directly to the heads of the family who are the father, leader, chief,
and ruler. This period is the age of “Father-Rule” where God spoke to the fathers. He
spoke to the fathers by dreams, angels, or visions and the fathers instruct their
children according to the will of God.

41-45. Who are the Jews, and why are they called God's "chosen people"?
Jews are the “chosen people”. They are the chosen people because God chose
them to be a witness in the world of the one true God, and through them to bring forth
his Messiah.

45-50. Of what profit is it for Christians to study the Old Testament?


The study of the Old Testament for us Christians is profitable as to our
knowledge. To learn of the nature of God, the sureness of his word and of his exceeding
love for us. (Rom 15:4 NKJV) For whatever things were written before were written for
our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have
hope. This book tells the creation, man’s earliest existence, and God’s first covenants
with man.

50-55. Why it is that man is more superior to animals?


Man is more superior to animals because He is created in God's Image. God
created man to take care of God’s creations besides men.

56-65. Why do we need God, salvation, or the Bible?


We need God for our salvation. Our salvation is our faith. And our faith is from
the bible. God is always needed; He protects us and keeps us away from sins. We seek
His guidance and help for He is our father. But the main reason why we need God,
salvation and the bible is to restore our relationship with God for the fall of man
destroyed the ideal relationship that man enjoyed with God.

3. God 9. Background
4. Scripture 10. Prayer asking the Holy Spirit to
5. God empower us to seek and find the
grace in the scriptures

II. Essay:
11-20. Discuss the rules and steps on How to study the Bible.
There are six rules and three steps on how to study the Bible. These rules are 1)
Read the Bible with reverence; 2) Study the Bible within the fellowship of the Church; 3)
Study the Bible honestly; 4) Study the whole Bible; 5) Study the Bible wholeheartedly;
and 6) Study of the Bible leads to action.
The three simple steps are 1) Observation - answers what does the passage
say?; 2) Interpretation - what does the passage mean? And 3) Application - what am I
going to do about what the passage says and means? These three simple steps are the
most effective approaches to reading and understanding the word of God.

21-30. Explain your perceptions on knowing the three simple steps for studying the bible.
The three simple steps on how to study the Bible can be done alone because it
starts from us, ourselves. When studying the Bible, we look for the key terms as we
observe and we interpret what it means. Knowing what the verse is saying, we reflect it
to our daily lives. Later on, we apply what we know of the Bible having our faith and
salvation to our God.

31-40. What is the significance of this story today in terms of our relationship to God and our
fellowmen? (the Parable of the Prodigal Son)
The Parable of the Prodigal Son is a story where the younger son had his wealth
from his father but when he had nothing, he ran back to his father who in return was
glad and accepts his younger son. Our relationship with God is like father and son.
Sometimes we forsake God our father but still He welcome us and hear our prayers. This
parable shows us also our relationship with our fellowmen, the older son who’s always
with his father. Our fellowmen are like our brothers and sisters for we are the sons and
daughters of God. Sometimes we feel uncomfortable with the other but within our
blood we share the covenant of our Father. We made decisions that need to be tested
and find out the importance of family.

gave everything to us.

God made us man out His great love. God is love (1 John 4:8), and because of
that love and his wonderful creativity, he made us so we can enjoy all that he is and all
that he's done. We are here for God created us to fulfill his eternal plan. As for the Ten
Commandments, we are already on His eternal plan. We're also part of the war
between God and Satan, and God's ultimate plan to defeat Satan. By putting our faith in
God, we can defeat Satan and his lies (see Ephesians 6:10-18).
Finally, perhaps the most important part we play in God's eternal plan is to
point people to eternal life with God—through his Son Jesus Christ. The Bible calls this
our "ministry of reconciliation" (2 Corinthians 5:18-19).
That's why we're here. But it's also important to note that we have a choice in
all of this. When God created us, he didn't make us pawns in some cosmic chess game.
We're not his toy soldiers. God gives us freedom of choice.

II. ESSAY
1. Sacrifice means giving to the Lord whatever He requires of our time, our earthly possessions, and our
energies to further His work. The Lord commanded, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his
righteousness” (Matthew 6:33). Our willingness to sacrifice is an indication of our devotion to God.
People have always been tried and tested to see if they will put the things of God first in their lives.
From the time Adam and Eve to the time of Jesus Christ, the Lord’s people practiced the law of sacrifice.
They were commanded to offer as sacrifices the firstlings of their flocks. These animals had to be
perfect, without blemish. The ordinance was given to remind the people that Jesus Christ, the Firstborn
Father, would be perfect in every way, and He would offer Himself as a sacrifice for our sins.
Jesus did come and offer Himself as a sacrifice, just as the people had been taught He would. Because of
His sacrifice, everyone will be saved from physical death by the Resurrection and all can be saved from
their sins through faith in Jesus Christ.
Christ atoning sacrifice marked the end of sacrifices by the shedding of blood. Such outward sacrifice
was replaced by the ordinance of the sacrament. The ordinance of the sacrament was given to remind
us of the Savior’s great sacrifice. We should partake of the sacrament often. The emblems of bread and
water remind us of the Savior’s body and His blood, which He shed for us.
Only through sacrifice can we become worthy to live in the presence of God. Only through sacrifice can
we enjoy eternal life. Many who have lived before us have sacrificed all they had. We must be willing to
do the same if we would earn the rich reward they enjoy.
