Describe the difference between the deistic belief regarding God's role in creation and the biblical belief.

Deistic belief states that God created the world, and then let it be. As the example given in the lesson, He created the world like a watch. He wound it up, and then let it tick on its own. That is not true though, and biblical belief states that God still continues to be involved in His creation. He didn't just make His creation and leave it to "chance". He is actively involved and in control of everything that happens.

Write an essay of no less than 300 words, providing examples from Scripture which show God teaching people and people teaching each other.

God has given man a unique ability that sets him apart from the rest of creation - the ability to think and reason. Thus, because man has this ability, God teaches people many things, so that they can fill their head with good things and ponder that which is godly. In turn, man can then share this information with other people, thus sharing and increasing knowledge in good things. Many examples are shown and exemplified in Scripture. In Exodus 18:20, God says that we should teach people ordinances and laws, showing them the way that they must walk and the work they must do. 2 Chronicles says that Hezekiah spoke to the Levites telling them of the good knowledge of the Lord, and thus as a result they confessed to the Lord of their sins. In Psalms 25, David implores the Lord to show him His ways and His paths. He wanted to learn about the Lord and to receive teaching. The next instance where teaching and receiving is exemplified in the Scripture is through the well known Proverbs 22:6. It says that if you "train up a child in the way that he should go", when he gets to be older, he will remember your teachings and not depart from them. In the ultimate example of teaching through Jesus, many people wanted to hear His words, they wanted to learn and grow in knowledge. Jesus talked everywhere, and people wanted to hear Him everywhere. He taught them of the things of God, and most learned and changed because of His words. In Timothy 3:2, the qualifications for being a bishop are listed. One of them, a very important one, is that the person must be able to teach and teach often, everywhere he goes. Teaching is very important in communication and revealing the gospel to others as shown in Titus 1:9. There are many Bible passages that show this important and relationship of teaching and hearing.

Man must be in only one place at one time.

Explain what is meant when we say that God is sovereign over His creation, and give an example of God's sovereignty.

God's sovereignty is his supreme power and authority over his creation. He is the creator of everything, including mankind. That means that He owns us and has a will or purpose for His creation. He also knows just how His creation works, and how to 'maintain' it. An example of God's sovereignty is shown through nature, and how God makes the sun rise each morning, and the moon shine each night.
