Correct Answer: A. into his death

Correct Answer: D) one hundred and twenty years

Explanation

In this question, we are being asked to identify the duration of man's days, according to a statement made by God. The statement, My spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh suggests that man's life span is limited. We are then given four options to choose from: one hundred years, one hundred and fifty years, eighty years, and one hundred and twenty years.

The correct answer is option D, one hundred and twenty years. This is because in Genesis 6:3, God makes the statement mentioned in the question and concludes that man's days shall be one hundred and twenty years. This means that man's life span is limited to one hundred and twenty years, after which his spirit will no longer abide in him.

It is important to note that while man's days are limited, this does not mean that every individual will live up to one hundred and twenty years. Some may live longer, while others may not make it to that age. This statement simply sets a limit on the maximum number of years that a human being can live on earth.

In summary, the correct option for the duration of man's days, according to the statement made by God, is option D, one hundred and twenty years. This statement sets a limit on the maximum number of years that a human being can live on earth.

Correct Answer: C) Yahweh was supreme to other gods

Explanation

The question is asking about the purpose of the contest on Mount Camel. The options are A) Baal was the God of Israel, B) Baal controls nature, C) Yahweh was supreme to other gods (which is the correct answer), and D) Israel had declared for Yahweh. The contest on Mount Camel was held to prove which God, either Baal or Yahweh, was real and had the power to answer prayers. The prophets of Baal called on their God to light a fire, and when he did not respond, Elijah called on Yahweh to light a fire, which he did. This demonstrated that Yahweh was the one true God and was supreme to other gods. Therefore, Option C is the correct answer. It is important for Christians to understand that there were many gods worshipped during biblical times, but the Bible teaches that there is only one true God, Yahweh.

Correct Answer: D. calling on their gods

Explanation

(a) God called Jeremiah to deliver or save the people of Israel. The sins of Israel were revealed by Jeremiah who pointed out that punishment was inevitable. He urged them to repent from their sins or else God would invoke His punishment on them. The people were reminded by God through Jeremiah of His past favours and he charged them with faithlessness to their first love as shown by their adultery. The priests, the rulers and the prophets were all alike. They compromised the worship of God with the worship of Baal. The priests concerned themselves more with gains than with worship and the prophets also became corrupted by the general idolatry and immorality in the land. Because of this, punishment was inevitable and Judah would not be saved. Despite its tight security, Judah would be desolated as a punishment for rebellion and faithlessness.

(b) What Jeremiah would like to condemn in present day Nigeria include:

(i) The Nigerian society is full of vices such as nepotism, bribery and corruption, religious immorality and all sorts of ills that characterised the social and economic sphere of Judah then.

(ii) The religious leaders of present day Nigeria are not faithful just as we had during the time of Jeremiah. They worship money as against the true worshipping of God.

(iii) The proliferation of churches in the country today would have attracted Jeremiah's attention and total condemnation.
