- C.
Majority
- D.

Correct Answer
B. AutographicExplanation
The correct answer is "Autographic." The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy affirms that inspiration, strictly speaking, applies only to the autographic text of Scripture. This means that the original manuscripts of the Bible, written in Hebrew and Greek, were inspired by God. The statement emphasizes the importance of the original text and recognizes that subsequent copies and translations may contain errors or variations. By affirming the autographic text, the statement upholds the belief in the divine inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible's original writings.Rate this question:

Goodrick identifies two "means" of God's general revelation. These are:
- A.
Law and Gospel
- B.
O.T. and N.T.
- C.
The Bible and the Holy Spirit
- D.
Nature and tradition
Correct Answer
D. Nature and traditionExplanation
Goodrick identifies nature and tradition as two means of God's general revelation. Nature refers to the natural world and all its creations, which can reveal aspects of God's character and attributes. Tradition, on the other hand, refers to the accumulated wisdom and teachings of the church throughout history, which can provide insights into God's will and purposes. These two means complement each other, as nature can be interpreted and understood through the lens of tradition, and tradition can be enriched and informed by observations of nature. Together, nature and tradition serve as channels through which God reveals Himself to humanity.Rate this question:

- B.

It is a theological concept that helps to explain how Jesus could be both fully human and fully divine at the same time. The term "kenosis" refers to the self-emptying of Christ, "anthropomorphism" refers to the attribution of human characteristics to God, and "anthrotheism" refers to the belief that God is a human-like being.Rate this question:

- A.
Relevance
- B.
Syntax
- C.
Wording

This means that the words used in the Bible are believed to have been divinely inspired and carry a special significance. The choice of words in the Bible is seen as intentional and meaningful, conveying important messages and teachings. Understanding inspiration in terms of wording emphasizes the importance of studying and interpreting the specific language used in the Bible to uncover its deeper meanings and truths.Rate this question:

Language is inevitably ambiguous
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Language is inevitably ambiguous because words and phrases can have multiple meanings and interpretations. Different people may understand and interpret language in different ways, leading to miscommunication and misunderstandings. Additionally, context plays a crucial role in understanding the intended meaning of words and sentences, and without sufficient context, ambiguity is bound to arise. Therefore, it can be concluded that language is indeed inherently ambiguous.Rate this question:
-
- 8.
Meaning lies in the sentence, not the individual word
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
This statement is true because the meaning of a sentence is derived from the combination and arrangement of words, rather than from the individual words themselves. Each word contributes to the overall meaning and context of the sentence, and the interpretation of the sentence may change if any word is removed or replaced. Therefore, it is important to consider the sentence as a whole when trying to understand its meaning.Rate this question:

- B.
The Bible was written in a fallen language
- C.
Inerrancy and infallibility apply equally to every part of Scripture
- D.
Inerrancy and infallibility are limited to the autographs
Correct Answer
A. The Bible was written in such a way that its meaning is deeper than its wordsExplanation
The Bible was not written in a way that its meaning is deeper than its words. The meaning of the Bible is conveyed through the words themselves, and its interpretation relies on understanding the context, language, and literary devices used in the text. The Bible is not written in a fallen language, inerrancy and infallibility do not apply equally to every part of Scripture, and they are not limited to the autographs (original manuscripts).Rate this question:

- A.
True
- B.
False

The statement "A translation is good if it produces the same wording as that of the original language" is false. A good translation is not solely based on producing the same wording as the original language, but rather on accurately conveying the meaning, tone, and intent of the original text in a different language. Translations often require adaptation and adjustments to ensure that the message is effectively communicated to the target audience, even if the wording may differ from the original.Rate this question:

Meaning is much more important than symbol
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
This statement suggests that the significance or interpretation of something holds more value than the symbol itself. Symbols are often used to represent ideas or concepts, but their true meaning lies in the understanding and interpretation assigned to them. This implies that understanding the meaning behind a symbol is crucial in order to fully grasp its significance and implications. Therefore, the statement supports the idea that meaning is indeed more important than the symbol itself.Rate this question:

Verbal inspiration can and does survive translation
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
Verbal inspiration refers to the belief that the words of a text are divinely inspired and therefore carry the same meaning and authority regardless of the language they are translated into. However, translation can often lead to subtle changes in meaning and interpretation, making it impossible for verbal inspiration to survive translation completely unaltered. Therefore, the statement that verbal inspiration can and does survive translation is false.Rate this question:
