What do you think?

Do you think the prophet Hosea is more about God's faithfulness or Israel's unfaithfulness?

Why?

Would you consider using this book as a resource for marriage counseling?

How?

Any other thoughts on Hosea?

Week Two Discussion

I hope you all keep listening to the overview audio files, but we need to press on.
I've posted audio for Joel, Jonah, and Amos.

As you listen to Dr. Staats teach on Joel you will notice he presents a case for women in ministry.

Whether you agree with his view or not, discuss:


1.) Whether or not you feel he covered appropriate texts.

2.) What scripture would you add to the discussion?

3.) No "agism," no "sexism," and no "classism" are terms Dr. Staats uses. What does he mean?

4.) What strikes you in Jonah or Amos?

Feel free to continue to post comments to the week 1 discussion. Since we got off to a slow start I will extend the time for week 1 postings to allow you to cover your required 2 postings per week. I still would like you to post twice on this or some other topic related to prophets for this week as well.

Observations

As you look at the overall forest of the prophets, what observations can you make about them as a whole?

What new teaching have you heard as you listened to the lectures?

What old teaching have you heard?

Any other thoughts you would like to share?

I Hope this is easier for discussion

Well, I was not aware of how limited Blackboard's discussion board was.
I hope this will allow a little more fluid discussion.

After each post you will note there is a "comments" area you may go to.
Post comments using either your google account if you have one or use anonymous and sign your name within your comment so we know who you are.

Feel free to send me an email if you would like me to post a particular topic for discussion.
Also feel free to veer "off topic" in your comments. Just keep it charitable. I'll moderate and try to bring things back "on topic" if necessary.

Stay tuned for discussion topics to be posted.
