| Sheep are very helpless, they can eat themselves to death if not watched and if you put them on their backs they can die as they can't right themselves.

| There are two references to Jesus in the Psalm 8 passage. The first in Daniel 7:13-14. The second in Hebrews 2:5-15. If the last part of verse 4 (the son of man) and following to the end of verse 7 is about Jesus, how would this lead to a greater understand of why we should say: “O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth?” | because first we talk of him as all powerful then we talk of him as the king of us Add Comment |

| Next, “You have established strength because of your foes.” Also, notice what David writes next “…to still the enemy, and the avenger.” Notice that foes are plural and enemy and avenger are singular. Who are the foes and who is this enemy and avenger? | the foes might be the sinners and enemy and avenger might be the evil that's in them Add Comment |
| “You have set your glory above the heavens?” Some translate that a bit like this: “You have set your glory in the heavens above.” Others think this means that God is greater and beyond the heavens (universe and everything in it). What do you think and why? | I think You could interpret it both way at the same time and still draw truth from it Add Comment |
| How does this relate to Jesus’ confrontation with the chief priests and the scribes mentioned in Matthew 21? | They are the foes Add Comment |
| Now some Interpretation questions. “Oh LORD our Lord.” These are not the same words. The LORD in all caps is YHWH (Yahweh) it is the Eternal Creator LORD of the Universe. Lord is Adonai which means ruler in the sense of king or governor. Why does David refer to the Eternal God of the Universe as, “our Lord” or our king? | because hes both Add Comment |

| Let's Observe. Verse 2 is quoted by Jesus in the New Testament. Read Matthew 21:15-17. Jesus does not quote the verse word for word, he paraphrases it. So, who are they praising? | The lord Add Comment |

| Why do you think David begins the Psalm with what can be known about God in creation and then spend the rest of the Psalm talking about how wonderful God’s Word is? | probley to say that not only is he wonderful but he is also powerful, the beginning is kinda confusing though... Add Comment |
| First notice the structure by following the action. One thing you should notice is that the verse breaks in the wrong place. Please note that chapter breaks and verse breaks were done by Robert Stephanus in the 16th century and he had no idea what he was doing and unfortunately they stuck. Verse 5 should begin with “In them he has set…”. If you look closely, you will notice that a person can sing the first line of the song and then the choir responds. This is repeated with both the leader and choir singing the last line together: “whose voice is not heard.” There is a middle part where the leader sings and the choir responds. Then there the final part which is a repeat of the first – leader, response, leader, response, both: “and there sin nothing hidden from its heat.” From this structure you can make out the meaning or point of this song. So what is the point of this song? | its looks like a beautiful song, I think the meaning of the song is that God is way more powerful then we can imagine but since he is merciful we should praise him that he has not punished us for our transgressions ( or sins) Add Comment |

| What are some consequence of not seeing God and acknowledging Him as God? List and many as you can. | missing out on him though life... Add Comment |
| Notice verse 30. The last phrase is, “disobedient to parents.” How is not respecting those in authority over you – your parents – an example of not clearly seeing and acknowledging God for who He is. | it is an example because the people in authority over you are often there for a reason, they are often wiser or have more experience in the topic Add Comment |
| Pay close attention to Romans 1:19-21. Why do people not clearly see God and what He is like by what has been made? | Because they are with him all the time and he becomes and every day things, they stop paying attention to him and the things he creates Add Comment |
| So go outside on a clear night in a dark place and look up and ask yourself: “What do I learn about the being who made all this?” | praise him and thank him... I m not sure how to answer this question Add Comment |

| Has anyone or anything kept you awake at night while you think about it over and over? Think carefully about this. It is a common experience. | Well, sometimes I lie awake thinking about an audition for a play that coming up Add Comment |
| Verse 4 is a bit odd. That seems strange. Read Ephesians 4:17-27. The word for anger here is not “be mad” but rather be in awe of God. A better word is fear, or revere. Often when we stew over something we leave God out of it. How would fearing God (trusting, turn it over to God) prevent us from sinning when we are angry at someone and it is keeping us awake? | that God made and loves that person two and that Jesus forgive so we should forgive also, It sound easier than it is Add Comment |
| David offers at least four things a person can do rather than stew in verse 3 and 4 that will quiet your heart so you can sleep in peace. List them here and talk about how each would quiet your heart. | That he has set me apart if I am his faithful servant, I can trust and try to do what pleases him, and I can search my heart and hopefully I will find enough ego to trust in my self Add Comment |

| Why was it so hard for the Pharisees to believe Jesus' teaching? | because either it was not what they had been taught themselves or it was because they felt like Jesus new more then them and he had not even been taught in the proper way Add Comment |
| Could Jesus be the Christ, the Messiah, if He were not God? Why or why not? | No and yes I feel like it is complicated, the argument makes sense on both sides but I leaning toward the no, and that is because it kinda represents that God loved us so much he sent a part of himself to die for us, if it were just some random guy it wouldn't feel so special like kind of empty, Think of it this way, so,This guy had a daughter, and she tried to do a too advanced trick on her skate board, right? And she fell and broke her leg BUT she also broke her skate board, yeah? And she needed to get stitches and all that at the hospital , and her dad felt bad so he got her a new skate board and some flowers... but then he didn't really feel like running all the way over to the hospital to give it to her so he asked a friend to do it for him, and his friend did it but she didn't really feel grateful because her father didn't care about her enough to do it himself. and that is why I think it is a good thing that God sent his one and only son to save the world, I love that God cares that much.

Please let us know if you have any questions, concerns or issues with the program. We are going to spend time the New Testament as we begin. Is this your first time or have you done the Earn Your Way program before? | I have used Earn your way before. Add Comment |
