Considering Exodus 20-23, what should be the verdict for each "case"?
Case 1:
Judy has a Doberman that usually stays in a fenced yard. One day, the Doberman got loose, and chased the mail man back to his truck. Along the way, the Doberman bites the mail mans leg. He brings his complaint to the judges, and asks them to make Judy pay for his stitches.
Case 2:
Larry borrows a lawnmower from Jerry. While Larry is mowing, the mower breaks down. Should Larry pay Jerry to fix the mower?

Extra Credit: Exodus
There are optional activities in the Omnibus I Text book that, if I were the teacher, I would make extra credit. So here it is:
Study the passage below from Martin Luther's treatise. The Bondage of Will. Then answer the questions that follow.
"For if we believe it to be true that God foreknew and fore ordains all things; that he cannot be deceived pr obstructed in His foreknowledge and predestination; and that nothing happens but at His will (which reason itself is compelled to grant); then, on reason's own testimony, there can be no 'free-will' in man, angel, or in any creature. So, if we believe that Satan is the prince of this world, ever ensnaring and opposing the kingdom of Christ with all his strength, and that he does not let his prisoners go unless he is driven out by the power of the Divine Spirit, it is again apparent that there can be no 'free-will'."
1. What does Luther mean by foreknowledge?
2. How does foreknowledge differ from foreordaining or predestined?
3. Why does Luther reject the idea of free will?
4. How can people who are slaves of the devil be freed from him?
