|
| 1 | Regarding the existence of Christ: |
|
|
|
There was when He was not. |
|
|
|
There was a point in eternity when He came to be. |
|
|
|
He was not before His birth in Bethlehem. |
|
|
|
There was not when He was not. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2 | In the statement of John 3:16, "God gave his only begotten son," the term "begotten" refers to: |
|
|
|
a point in eternity before time began. |
|
|
|
His conception by the Holy Spirit when Mary was overshadowed. |
|
|
|
a spiritual relationship only between Father and Son. |
|
|
|
none of the above suggestions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 3 | Concerning the mental relationship between the Father and the Son: |
|
|
|
Since they are two persons, yet of one substance, they are capable of holding
different views on most subjects. |
|
|
|
They are totally independent of each other, but of the same spirit in love. |
|
|
|
They are incapable of drawing different mental conclusions. |
|
|
|
The wisdom of the Father is superior to that of the Son of God. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4 | Concerning the creation of the universe: |
|
|
|
In the beginning God the Father alone created the heavens and the earth |
|
|
|
Christ was the divine agent by whom all things were made that were made. |
|
|
|
Neither the Father nor the Holy Spirit had any part in creation. |
|
|
|
Both John and the writer of the book of Hebrews prove that Christ had nothing to do with creation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 5 | Regarding the original existence of Christ: |
|
|
|
He came to be before the beginning of all angelic beings and before the existence of all worlds. |
|
|
|
He was self-existing and in reality had no beginning |
|
|
|
God the Father was in existence before Christ the Son of God was in existence. |
|
|
|
Christ has not always been, nor will He always be. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6 | The word "Christophany" means that: |
|
|
|
Christ appeared to men in one form or another during Old Testament times. |
|
|
|
Christ may have been present on occasions but never appeared visibly. |
|
|
|
Christ was always totally transcendent. |
|
|
|
Christ was beheld first by the shepherds at Bethlehem. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 7 | When Jacob's name was changed to Israel, Christ appeared to him in the form of: |
|
|
|
a man. |
|
|
|
an angel. |
|
|
|
an animal. |
|
|
|
a fowl. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 8 | At the unconsumed burning bush, the angel of the Lord referred to himself as (Ex. 3:1-10): |
|
|
|
the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. |
|
|
|
an angel without divine prerogatives. |
|
|
|
a Midianite with deep concern about the children of Israel. |
|
|
|
a fellow shepherd who gave helpful suggestions about sheep. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9 | In Exodus 3:14 and John 8:58: |
|
|
|
the speakers in these two verses were different persons. |
|
|
|
the speaker in the Old Testament verse was Moses and the one in the New was Jesus. |
|
|
|
The speaker in both verses was the same person, the Great I Am, Jesus Christ. |
|
|
|
There is no relationship between the two verses.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 10 | According to Isaiah 53, the purpose for Christ coming into the world as depicted by the suffering servant was to: |
|
|
|
condemn and punish sinful men. |
|
|
|
make men in nature like angels. |
|
|
|
become the sin offering on whom God could lay the iniquity of us all |
|
|
|
explain the philosophical issues that are related to suffering. |
