Naaman's request for two mules of Israelite soil after his cure was because of the belief that the God of Israel, who healed him through the prophet Elisha, could only be worshipped on Hebrew soil. In 2 Kings 5, Naaman, a commander in the Syrian army, was cured of leprosy after following Elisha's instructions to wash in the Jordan River seven times. After his healing, Naaman expressed his desire to worship the God of Israel and sought permission to take two mules' worth of Israelite soil back to Syria because he believed that he could only worship God on that specific soil.

Explanation

(a) A covenant is a mutual agreement between two parties, each pleading allegiance to its own responsibility or duty according to the terms of covenant. The two parties in the covenant could be equals or one could be superior to the other. The breach of the terms by any of the parties determines/terminates the covenant unless the other party forgoes its legal right and allows the covenant to subsist.

(b) One of the conditions stipulated in the covenant was God's promise that Sarah would bear Abraham a son in his old age (to be called Isaac). Although Abraham expressed a doubt (owing to his old age and the age of his "barren" wife), God assured him of his faithfulness. Then Abraham suggested that Ishmael might be the vehicle for God's fulfillment of the covenant. `No', said God. Sarah would bear a son with whom the covenant would be established with his descendants for ever. As for Ishmael, God would bless him with children, but Sarah's son, Isaac, would surely be born at that season the following year. Soon after this, she conceived and bore a son. Abraham called his name 'Isaac' and circumcised him on the eighth day. Abraham was 100 years old then. Sarah said that God had made laughter of her. Abraham celebrated the occasion with feast for his faithfulness to the covenant.

Correct Answer: D) Calm appearance

Explanation

In Christian Religious Knowledge, false prophets are individuals who claim to be prophets of God but are not. Jesus warned people to be careful of them. The reason for this warning was due to their calm appearance. In other words, false prophets may appear to be good and truthful, but in reality, they are not. They can deceive people with their charisma, good looks, and persuasive speech.

It is important to note that false prophets are not new to the Christian faith. In the Bible, there are several instances where false prophets tried to deceive God's people. Jesus warned his followers to be watchful and not be deceived by false prophets. He advised them to test every spirit to know whether it is from God or not (1 John 4:1).

Therefore, option D, which states that false prophets have a calm appearance, is the correct answer to the question. It is essential to be careful and discerning when it comes to religious matters to avoid falling into the hands of false prophets.
