Explanation

(a)(i) Adultery and Divorce: Moses' law decreed that one should not commit adultery but Jesus Christ has now expounded the scope to include lustful look which now attracts the same consequences as the actual deed of adultery. Jesus teaches that one should not allow one's eye to lead one to sin; it is better to lose it than go into hell fire with the whole body. Jesus teaches that if it is the right hand, (useful as it is) that causes one to sin, cut if off and throw it away. A body with a hand is better than the whole body in hell fire. Mosaic Law states that he who divorced his wife should give her a certificate of divorce, but Jesus ordered that no one should divorce his wife except on the ground of unchastity. Jesus regards marriage involving a divorcee as adultery.

(ii) Neighbours and Enemies: Jesus commanded that we should seek the welfare of our enemies and pray for them. (We should not love only our neighbours and hate our enemies), insisting that those who practice this would be called the sons of the Father. Our Father allows the sun to shine on both the good and the wicked / the rain falls on both the just and the unjust. He maintains that If we love only those who love us, we have no reward and If we salute I greet only our brothers, we are still like the unbelievers, we should rather strive for perfection. We must be perfect as our heavenly Father is.

(b) Lessons:

(i) One lesson is the introduction of a new dimension to adultery; lust, has been raised — it is as serious as the act itself and must be avoided.

(ii) Another is that divorce should have no place in marriage. The issue of chastity in marriage must be adhered to. This is another major lesson. And finally any obstacle to our entry into the kingdom must be avoided at all cost.

Correct Answer: A) The demand for a king in Israel

Explanation

The question is asking why Samuel's lack of parental responsibility had a particular consequence in the Bible. The options suggest four possible outcomes. Option A is the correct answer, which says that Samuel's lack of parental responsibility led to the demand for a king in Israel. This means that because Samuel did not adequately raise his sons to be good leaders, the people of Israel no longer trusted them to lead the nation. As a result, they demanded a king to rule over them instead of having judges like Samuel.

It is important to note that this demand for a king was not necessarily a positive thing. In fact, it was seen as a rejection of God's leadership over Israel. The people of Israel were supposed to trust in God to guide them and provide for them, but they wanted a human king instead. This ultimately led to many problems for Israel in the future.

Option B suggests that Samuel's lack of parental responsibility led to his untimely death at Ramah. This is not correct because there is no indication in the Bible that Samuel's parenting had anything to do with his death.

Option C suggests that Samuel's lack of parental responsibility led to the defeat of the Israelites in battle. While it is true that the Israelites experienced defeats in battle during the time of the judges, there is no direct connection between Samuel's parenting and military success or failure.

Option D suggests that Samuel's lack of parental responsibility led to the anointing of David as king. While Samuel did anoint David as king, this was not a direct consequence of his parenting. Rather, it was a result of God's plan for Israel's leadership.

In summary, Samuel's lack of parental responsibility led to the demand for a human king in Israel, which was seen as a rejection of God's leadership. This was not a positive outcome and had negative consequences for Israel in the future.
