    Correct Answer
    A. The sin of any sexual activity between people who are not married.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "the sin of any sexual activity between people who are not married." This answer aligns with the definition of fornication provided by Dr. Cole in the article reviewed in Basic 12. According to Dr. Cole, fornication refers to any sexual activity between individuals who are not married. This definition excludes sexual activity between a married man and someone other than his wife, sexual activity between a married woman and someone other than her husband, and any sexual activity in general. Therefore, the correct answer is the one that accurately reflects Dr. Cole's definition.

    A "traditional" marriage based upon Bible standards would contain all but one of these basics. Which one is not a part of a Biblical Christian marriage?

    • The absence of parental responsibility

    • One man and one woman.

    • A covenant, not a contract.

    • Children with permanent, committed parents.

    • Time honored gender roles of father and mother.

    Correct Answer

    Charles Colson, in his book “Lies That Go Unchallenged in Popular Culture” identified one of the main causes of the decline of marriage and the breakup of the family in America. This cause he exposed is

    • Families with its roots in the Bible.

    • The effect of worker mobility on the stability of the family.

    • The attacks on Christian values through pagan lies about marriage and the family.

    • Disunity in the Christian Church on the theology of marriage.

    • The effects of childless marriages on education.

    Correct Answer
    A. The attacks on Christian values through pagan lies about marriage and the family.
    Explanation
    Charles Colson, in his book "Lies That Go Unchallenged in Popular Culture," argues that one of the main causes of the decline of marriage and the breakup of the family in America is the attacks on Christian values through pagan lies about marriage and the family. According to Colson, there is a concerted effort to undermine traditional Christian beliefs about marriage and family by spreading false narratives and promoting alternative lifestyles. This, in turn, weakens the institution of marriage and contributes to the breakdown of the family unit in American society.

    In 1 Peter 3:7 we are told that husband and wife in a Christian marriage are “heirs together of the grace of life.” Strauss defines grace as

    • The unwanted result of the marriage union.

    • A free gift from God to undeserving humans.

    • His desire that both husband and wife find pleasure in marriage.

    • Willing and able to change, to regulate and to correct one's behavior.

    • The marriage plan as it was changed by man.

    Correct Answer
    A. A free gift from God to undeserving humans.
    Explanation
    The correct answer for this question is "a free gift from God to undeserving humans." This is because in 1 Peter 3:7, it states that husband and wife in a Christian marriage are "heirs together of the grace of life." The term "grace" refers to God's unmerited favor and love towards humanity, and in the context of marriage, it signifies that the blessings and benefits of married life are bestowed upon both husband and wife as a gift from God, despite their unworthiness.

    • None of the answers A. B. C, or E. is correct.

    • Both B and C are correct.

    Correct Answer
    A. Both B and C are correct.
    Explanation

In Basic Twelve, Drh agreed with Colson that this worldview behind Lie No. 2 is both anti-Bible and anti-Christian because it is based upon the view that there is no God, and nothing is sacred, including wedding vows and marriage covenants. Additionally, by using the concept of an informal contract instead of a marriage covenant, the supporters of this view invent ways to easily break the contract.

    Dr. Cole, in the article reviewed in Basic 12, defined adultery as

    • The sin of any sexual activity between a married man and someone other than his wife

    • Any sexual activity outside of marriage.

    • As a husband viewing pornography.

    • The sin of any sexual activity between people who are not married.

    • None of the answers, A. B. C. or D. is correct.

    Correct Answer
    A. The sin of any sexual activity between a married man and someone other than his wife
    Explanation

This definition specifically highlights the involvement of a married man and another person outside of his marriage. It does not include sexual activity outside of marriage in general or the act of a husband viewing pornography. Therefore, the correct answer is the sin of any sexual activity between a married man and someone other than his wife.

    Explanation
    In his writing "Marriage, Abortion and Divorce," Lehman Strauss advised that Christians should not marry merely for sexual gratification. He referred to this advice as a precaution, suggesting that Christians should be cautious and consider other important factors beyond sexual gratification when entering into a marriage. This implies that a marriage based solely on sexual gratification may not be sustainable or fulfilling in the long run.

    Some religious leaders came to Jesus with a question. "Teacher," they said, "Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the man must marry the widow and have children for his brother. Now there were seven brothers. The first one married a woman and died childlessly. The second and then the third married her, and in the same way, the seven died, leaving no children. Finally, the woman died too. Now then, at the resurrection whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her?" (NIV) What was Jesus' reply?

    • "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children."

    •  "The secrets of the kingdom of God have not been given to you."

    • "There is but one marriage. What God has joined together, let man not separate."

    •  "Those who are considered worthy of taking part in that age and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage."

    Correct Answer
    A.  "Those who are considered worthy of taking part in that age and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage."
    Explanation
    Jesus' reply states that in the resurrection from the dead, those who are considered worthy will neither marry nor be given in marriage. This implies that the concept of marriage as we know it on Earth will not exist in the afterlife.
