Discussion Questions:2
Old Testament
In Ezra 4:12-13, the enemies of the Jews told the King that the people from Jerusalem were troublemakers. They would refuse to pay taxes, and cause more trouble if they were allowed to rebuild. How truthful was this claim?
New Testament
Does Paul really say that believers should take their disputes to be resolved between themselves, or within the church, rather than being adjudicated in the courts, before unbelievers. Does this principle apply today? If so, why is it so widely disregarded? 1 Corinthians 6:1
