Answers to CRS Exam Questions for SS2 Third Term

Answers to Section A (Objective Test)

The following table gives the correct answers to the objective section of CRS exam questions for SS2 Third term. If you are using a mobile device, hold the table and scroll to the right or left for a complete view.

So here you have the answers to the objective section of CRS Exam Questions for SS2 Third term. Use the comments section to let me know if you have any questions you would want me to clarify or discuss further.

Answers to Section B (Theory)

1a. Explain how Eli failed as a parent.

Eli failed as a parent because he did not discipline his sons, Hophni and Phinehas, who were priests under him. Though he was aware of their evil actions—such as stealing from the offerings and sleeping with the women at the tabernacle—he only gave them mild rebukes without taking serious action to stop them or remove them from their position. His failure to act decisively made him complicit in their sins.

1b. In what way did Israel suffer as a result of Eli’s paternal responsibility?

Israel suffered greatly because of Eli’s failure. God allowed the Philistines to defeat Israel in battle, and the Ark of the Covenant was captured. Eli’s two sons were killed in the same battle. When Eli heard the news, he fell backward, broke his neck, and died. The spiritual and national life of Israel was disrupted, and the glory of the Lord departed from Israel.

1c. Lessons to be derived from Eli’s attitude.

We learn that parents must discipline their children and correct them when they do wrong. Leaders must not overlook sin, especially in God’s house. It also teaches that disobedience and negligence in responsibilities can bring destruction and disgrace. God expects accountability from leaders and parents alike.

2. Discuss Paul’s teaching on civic responsibility and how we can apply it in our daily living.

Paul taught in Romans 13:1–7 that Christians should obey governing authorities because all authority comes from God. He instructed believers to pay their taxes, respect leaders, and live peacefully under the law. Paul emphasized that doing good would attract praise, while disobedience to authority would bring punishment. In daily life, we can apply this by being law-abiding citizens, paying our taxes, participating in community development, and praying for our leaders. Christians should also contribute positively to society.

3. What suggestions would you give to present day pastors who face oppositions during evangelism?

Present day pastors facing opposition during evangelism should remain prayerful and trust God for protection and boldness. They should preach the truth with love and patience. They must be humble and avoid arguments. It’s also wise to seek support from fellow believers and obey local laws where necessary, without compromising their message. Perseverance and consistency will yield fruit over time.

4a. Josiah’s reform

Josiah became king of Judah at a young age and was committed to serving God. When the Book of the Law was discovered in the temple, he read it and was deeply touched. He gathered the people and led them in renewing their covenant with God. He destroyed idols, altars of Baal, and places of pagan worship. Josiah cleansed the temple and restored proper worship of the true God. His reform brought spiritual revival in Judah.

4b. Deborah as a leader

Deborah was a prophetess and the only female judge in Israel. She led Israel with wisdom and courage during a difficult time. When the people were oppressed by King Jabin, Deborah encouraged Barak to lead an army against Sisera, the commander of Jabin’s army. With God’s help, they won the battle. Deborah’s leadership inspired hope and showed that God can use anyone, including women, to lead His people.

5. Narrate the circumstances that led to the rejection of Rehoboam as the king of Israel.

After Solomon died, his son Rehoboam became king. The people of Israel, led by Jeroboam, approached him to reduce the heavy taxes and harsh labor Solomon had imposed. Rehoboam consulted the elders who advised him to be kind and reduce the burden, but he rejected their advice. Instead, he followed the counsel of the younger men who urged him to be harsher. This angered the people, and they revolted, rejecting Rehoboam as king. Ten tribes broke away to form the northern kingdom of Israel under Jeroboam, leaving Rehoboam with only Judah and Benjamin.
