He desires a genuine and heartfelt offering, rather than simply going through the motions of a ritual.Rate this question:

Bring no more vain offerings; _______ is an abomination to me. New moon and Sabbath and the calling of convocations—I cannot endure iniquity and solemn assembly. -Is 1:13
-
Altar worship
-
Incense
-
Urim and thummim
Correct Answer
A. IncenseExplanation
The correct answer is "incense." In this passage from the book of Isaiah, God is expressing his displeasure with the people's empty and insincere worship. He states that their offerings and rituals, such as observing the new moon, Sabbath, and calling of convocations, are meaningless to him because they are accompanied by iniquity. The mention of incense implies that the people were using it as a form of worship, but God sees through their external actions and desires true repentance and righteousness instead.Rate this question:

15 When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not listen; your hands are full of _____. -Is 1:15
-
Blood
-
Dirt
-
Wine

A. BloodExplanation
In this verse from Isaiah 1:15, God is expressing his displeasure with the actions of the people. When they spread out their hands in prayer, God chooses to hide his eyes from them because their hands are full of blood. This suggests that the people have been engaged in violent and unjust actions, which makes their prayers ineffective. The presence of blood on their hands symbolizes their guilt and the consequences of their actions.Rate this question:

“Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like ______. -Is 1:18

-
Answer option 4
Correct Answer
A. WoolExplanation
The correct answer is "wool" because the passage from Isaiah 1:18 is using a metaphor to describe the transformation of sins. Just as scarlet and crimson are deep red colors, symbolizing sin, wool is white, symbolizing purity and forgiveness. The verse is saying that despite the deep redness of sins, they can be transformed into a state of purity, just like wool can be dyed from red to white.Rate this question:
