2. Only two people are said to have never died. The faith of which one of the two is mentioned in Hebrews, chapter 11?

Answer: Enoch

This can be found in Hebrews 11:5-6. Enoch and Elijah are the two who never died, but oddly Enoch was the one mentioned in this chapter.
The Bible doesn't say how Enoch was taken; it just says that God took him away and that he was no more.
Elijah was taken to Heaven in a chariot of fire in 2 Kings 2. Elisha was called to be a prophet by God through Elijah and, after Elijah was taken, he continued the work of God in Elijah's place.
Methuselah was the person who was recorded in Genesis as living the longest; having lived 969 years before his death.

7. By faith, who forsook a kingdom and riches afforded a prince, and chose rather to suffer in order to please God, according to Hebrews chapter 11?

Answer: Moses

(KJV) Hebrews 11:24,25 says, "By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharoah's daughter; choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season."

Moses could have lived a life filled with riches and ease, but chose rather to defend his oppressed brethren instead. From an earthly standpoint, it was a foolish trade. Moses cast down the life of a prince to spend the next 80 or so years as a shepherd and the leader of an ungrateful people. But Moses had his eyes on God and things eternal rather than those of this world.

8. Chapter 11 of Hebrews tells of several ways in which people were put to death for their faith. Which of these is NOT one of the methods mentioned in the NIV Bible?

Answer: Drowned

The answer is found in Hebrews 11:37. The author is closing out the chapter in verses 32-40. He points out that, no matter when people live, if they have faith in God, they will receive rewards. He says that the hardships and trials of life are not pleasant, but believers will be fully perfected in God. The people of faith throughout all the ages will receive their rewards at the same time.

10. There are two people of faith mentioned in Hebrews 11:23. In Exodus 1:8-22, and continuing on into Exodus 2:1-10 we find that these two descendants of the tribe of Levi, who were Moses' parents, acted in faith. According to these texts, how did they do this? (King James Version)

Answer: by hiding him for three months

The 23rd verse of Hebrews 11 says that Moses was hidden by his parents for three months after his birth and that they saw he was "...a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment."
The king (Pharaoh of Egypt) was afraid that the Hebrew people would become so numerous in his land that they would "take over" his country, so in the early chapters of Exodus we see that he tried a number of ways to control their population growth. Finally, he settled on a plan to have the male children killed.
(If that sounds familiar, see what the Hebrew king Herod was doing to male children in the days of Christ's birth, in Matthew 2.)
Moses' parents acted in faith by preserving the life of one of their children, the man that later led God's people out of bondage.
