The First Commandment

Video summary lecture (Andrea Schwartz)​

questions for thought & discussion

  1. Why is ignorance of the law not an acceptable defense?

  2. Is it less holy to do something out of obedience rather than out of love?

  3. Are there evidences in the Church today of returning to the principles of the Shema Israel?
    ​
  4. How is jealousy different from envy?

  5. Compare the temptation of Jesus and the temptation of Eve?  In what ways were they similar?  In what ways were they different?

  6. Are there ways in which you should alter your attitudes and behavior as a result of the study of this section?  Be aware of circumstances that arise during the week that speak to the issues addressed.

​​One of the surest ways to identify whether you understand a subject is to write a point of view paper (sometimes referred to as a position paper).  This exercise helps to unearth areas of confusion, uncertainty, and/or disagreement, many times revealing that a number of unanswered questions remain. Once completed, you may submit your paper for comments.
 
After formulating your position(s) on the subjects covered in each lesson, a good next step is to engage in conversation (with your spouse, children, parents, friends, or co-workers) to better hone your skill in communicating the concepts you have learned and are assimilating into your own thinking.  Do not be concerned about “messing up” or doing it the “wrong way” as you will do plenty of both!  As with anything worth doing, practice will refine this skill, which is vital in order to fulfill the Great Commission.  If you find you need some one-on-one interaction, you may submit a question or request an appointment.
