Question Number 1

2005-04-18T04:41:00.000-04:00

The Topic is about God.

Here's the First Question:

There is no God; He does not exist.

True False

T1Q1 True

2005-04-17T06:00:00.000-04:00

Question Number 1 ~ The Topic is about God.
Question:
There is no God; He does not exist.

You answered True; your answer is incorrect.

There are many reasons we know God exists.
The knowledge of the existence of God is born within us.
If we deny it, we are only deceiving ourselves and our own conscience.
A child knows there is a God; all races of the world know there is a God.
There is no such thing as a true "atheist".

Scripture speaks very harshly about those who claim God does not exist:

Psalms 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalms 53:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.

God would tell the unbeliever to open his eyes and look around:
Psalms 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

All creation is a testimony to the existence of God.

Question Number 1 ~ The Topic is about God
Question:
There is no God; He does not exist.

You answered False; your answer is correct.

The Lord Jesus Christ has revealed God to us:

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know Him, and have seen Him. 8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, He doeth the works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared Him.

Question Number 2 ~ The Topic is about God

Christians believe in one God, existing in three Persons
(Known as the Trinity)

You answered True ~ That is Correct

Scripture clearly shows the Trinity:
Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Luke 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

Luke 3:22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

John 3:34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. 35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.

John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

2 Corinthians 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.

Galatians 4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

These are just a few of the many verses we could quote to show the truth of the Trinity.

You answered TRUE. That is incorrect.

Man bears his own responsibility for bad and evil.
Because of Adam, sin and death, and all other bad things, entered into the world:

Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

Adam’s sinful nature has been passed on to us, so that we are all guilty.

Question Number 3 ~ The Topic is about God

You answered FALSE. That is correct.

The good news is that, in spite of our sinfulness, God has provided a way for our salvation
Through faith in Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God, Who died for us and rose again, that
we might be declared righteous:

Romans 5:15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

Romans 5:17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

Romans 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

T2Q1

2005-04-09T08:51:00.000-04:00

Question Number 1 ~ The Topic is about the Bible
Question:

The Bible is divinely inspired and Authored by God Himself.

True False

T2Q1 True

2005-04-08T08:51:00.000-04:00

Question Number 1 ~ The Topic is about the Bible
Question:

The Bible is divinely inspired and Authored by God Himself.

You answered TRUE. That is correct.

Here are a few of the Scripture verses about the Authorship of the Bible:

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
[God inspired men what to speak and what to write as His Word.]

2Pe 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
2Pe 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

[This means that God is the Author, not man. Every person has the right, and the responsibility, to interpret the Scriptures for themselves.

The Holy Spirit of God gives the “unction” or “anointing” to understand the Word which He Himself inspired:

1 John 2:20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.]

1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

Question Number 1 ~ The Topic is about the Bible
Question:

The Bible is divinely inspired and Authored by God Himself.

You answered FALSE. That is incorrect.

Please note that the terms Bible, Scripture and Word of God are sometimes used interchangeably.
The Word of God, or Word of the Lord, was sometimes spoken orally, either by direct inspiration from God, or read from the written Scriptures. Certain portions of the Bible are also called the Law.

Some examples:

1 Kings 12:22 But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
23 Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying, 24 Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is from me. They hearkened therefore to the word of the LORD, and returned to depart, according to the word of the LORD.

Here we have “the word of God” came directly from God to Shemaiah, who in turn spoke the “word of the LORD” to the people, who listened and received it as the very words of God, and acted in obedience according to the commandment.

When Jesus was tempted by Satan, He responded three times with the phrase “it is written”:

Luke 4:3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. 4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

Here Jesus refers to the written Word of God, which at that time consisted only of what we know as the Old Testament. He quotes from Deuteronomy 8:3.

This is but one of many examples where He validates the Scriptures by reference to what has been written long ago.

Here’s an example of “word of God” and “Scripture” and “Law” being used together:

John 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

God is continually adding to His Word as revealed in the Bible.

True False

T2Q2 True

2005-04-05T08:51:00.000-04:00

Question Number 2 ~ The Topic is about The Bible
Question:

God is continually adding to His Word as revealed in the Bible.

You answered TRUE. That is incorrect.

God severely warns those who would add or subtract anything from His written Word:

Revelation 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Everything that God has to say to mankind is recorded in His written Word, the Bible, the Scriptures.

The Bible is sufficient to be our guide in all that God wants us to know about Himself and His plan for us:

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Question:

You answered FALSE. That is correct.

The Bible is complete; not even ‘Signs and Wonders’ are required today.
Consider Abraham and the rich man in Hell, desiring that Lazarus would be sent to warn his brethren:
Luke 16:29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

The Bible and Tradition must be taken together to get the complete Word of God for today.

True False

T2Q3 True

2005-04-02T16:02:00.000-05:00

Question Number 3 ~ The Topic is about The Bible
Question:

The Bible and Tradition must be taken together to get the complete Word of God for today.

You answered TRUE. That is incorrect.

God has recorded His Word in the Bible.
This written record is the only reliable source of God’s words for today.
He has promised to preserve His Word for ever.
The Bible may be quoted orally or in writing or by other means and it is still
The Word of God as long as it is true to the original record.

The Bible warns against the “traditions of men”:

Mark 7:9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

Mark 7:13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

There is a clear distinction between the Word of God and Traditions of any kind and from any source.

Number 3 ~ The Topic is about The Bible
Question:

The Bible and Tradition must be taken together to get the complete Word of God for today.

You answered FALSE. That is correct.
It has been said that men may attempt to “get around” what God has said in three ways:

1. Subtract from the Bible
2. Add to the Bible
3. Change the meaning

Tradition uses Method 2 by adding the commandments of men from oral or other tradition.

All of these Satanically inspired methods attempt to usurp the authority of the Bible and confuse men about the way of salvation.
