Study The Bible Course Test 1

STUDY THE BIBLE COURSE

TEST Number 1

 

Bob Thiel, Editor-in-Chief

Published 2015 by the Continuing Church of God

Preface:  This course is highly based upon the personal correspondence course developed in 1954 that began under the direction of the late C. Paul Meredith in the old Radio Church of God.  Various portions have been updated for the 21st century (though much of the original writing has been retained).  It also has more scriptural references, as well as information and questions not in the original course.  Unless otherwise noted, scriptural references are to the NKJV, copyright Thomas Nelson Publishing, used by permission.  The KJV, sometimes referred to as the Authorized Version is also often used.  Additionally, Catholic-approved translations such as the New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) are sometimes used as are other translations.

This examination is given to help you better understand your Bible.

 

You are now reading QUESTIONS SECTION.  It CONTAINS the INSTRUCTIONS and the QUESTIONS you will be asked.  Note that there are 79 questions and that they are numbered consecutively 1, 2, 3 etc.  Note also that there are four possible answers given under each question.  These are labelled A, B, C, D.   ONLY ONE of these four possible answers is considered to be the RIGHT one!—the other three are false unless stated otherwise.

 

YOU ARE TO SELECT THE ONE RIGHT ANSWER FROM AMONG THESE FOUR POSSIBLE ANSWERS.

 

You are to repeat this process for each of the questions asked.  This comprises your test. (Generally speaking, the incorrect answers are false ideas which are taught and believed about the subject.)

 

Our objective is to give all who have determination to know God’s Word the opportunity to understand the true meaning of the Bible.

 

By the answers you give to our examination questions, you help show if you have the desire to learn and are doing your best.  We are here to aid just such people and we are thrilled to do so.

 

The final judge as to whether you know your Bible and are living by it will be God Himself.  He is the One you had better seek to please.  It is He who is able to give you eternal life.

 

Your eagerness to study and to make the most of your opportunity is what really counts.  The exact grade you might make is not too important to you or to us.  Naturally, however, we expect a somewhat high percentage of correct answers from you.

 

Answer as many questions as you can without referring to the previous lessons you have studied.  If you find any difficult questions, then refer to the lessons.  We expect you to do so!

 

Notice that these questions are divided into four parts—corresponding to the four lessons.  We advise you not to cover more than one lesson at a sitting.  Take sufficient time to understand each question.

 

Here are two EXAMPLES TO SHOW YOU HOW to answer the questions:

 

Read the first question of this test.  The right answer to select, of course , is “C.”  Here is the second example:  Notice question number 2 on the next page.  The correct answer is “B.”  That is all there is to it!  It is very simple and fast.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE: due to formatting issues with WordPress, for the 4 choices in each question, 1. = “A”, 2. = “B”, 3. = “C”, 4. = “D”.  The answers in the Answer Key should reflect the same; ie. Question #1 answer is C (3.)

 

The procedure is always the same.  Now continue with question 3 in the same manner . . .
