[CS-FSLUG] TD: CS-BibleStudy: Hosea 5

[Timothy R. Butler]

Thanks to all of you who are participating on this Bible Study so far!  
I feel like I'm learning lots. As I've said before, if any of you would  
like to add questions for us to discuss, please do so -- I'm sure your  
questions would allow for edifying discussion.

Now that we are approximately one third of the way through Hosea, I  
have two questions before we continue with this week's Bible study:

	1.) Are there any things you would change to improve the weekly Bible  
study?

	2.) Are you enjoying studying Hosea?

This week's Bible reading:

http://www.biblegateway.com/cgi-bin/bible? 
language=english&passage=Hosea+5&version=NIV

Ice Breaker: There is no ice breaker this week.

Study Questions:

	1.) It sounds like more of God's wrath is directed toward Ephraim than  
the other tribes, do you think they were especially corrupt or that  
they simply are mentioned more frequently as an example to the others?

	2.) Why do you suppose only two tribes are mentioned in this passage  
specifically?

	3.) The NIV, CEV and several other translations translate this in  
poetical form, whereas the NLT and KJV seem to use a prose style for  
the passage. Does this change make you feel differently about the  
passage?

	-Tim
