    • None of the above

Lastly, Christians believe that God is the creator of the universe. Therefore, the correct answer is that all of the above aspects are part of the Christian story.

    The majority of Muslims are radicals.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement that the majority of Muslims are radicals is false. It is important to avoid generalizations and stereotypes about any religious or ethnic group. Muslims, like followers of any religion, have diverse beliefs and practices. The term "radical" implies extremism or violence, which is not representative of the majority of Muslims. It is crucial to recognize and respect the diversity within any religious community.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Islam accepts all of the following EXCEPT what?

    • Monotheism

    • Moral absolutes

    • The Trinity

    • The existence of Jesus

    • Jesus as a prophet

    Correct Answer
    A. The Trinity
    Explanation
    Islam accepts monotheism, moral absolutes, the existence of Jesus, and Jesus as a prophet. However, it does not accept the concept of the Trinity, which is central to Christian belief and states that God is three persons in one: the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit. Islamic belief emphasizes the oneness of God and rejects the idea of multiple persons within the divine being.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    God's revelation of himself to all people through creation is referred to as _______________ revelation.

    Correct Answer
    general
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "general." This refers to the idea that God reveals himself to all people through his creation, regardless of their religious beliefs or background. This revelation is not limited to a specific group or individual, but is accessible to everyone. It highlights the universal nature of God's communication with humanity through the natural world.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    The existence of mankind suggests that God is impersonal.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The existence of mankind does not necessarily suggest that God is impersonal. The belief in a personal or impersonal God is subjective and can vary from person to person. Some people may believe that the existence of mankind suggests a personal God who created and interacts with humans on a personal level. Others may believe that the existence of mankind suggests an impersonal God who set the laws of the universe in motion but does not intervene in human affairs. Therefore, the statement that the existence of mankind suggests God is impersonal is not necessarily true.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Because of sin, we no longer bear God's image.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    This statement is false. According to Christian theology, humans still bear God's image despite sin. The belief is that although sin has marred the image of God within us, it has not completely erased it. The concept of redemption and salvation is centered around restoring the image of God within individuals through forgiveness and transformation. Therefore, the statement that we no longer bear God's image because of sin is incorrect.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    ______________ is the most holy place to the Muslim faith.

    Correct Answer
    Mecca
    Explanation
    Mecca is considered the most holy place to the Muslim faith. It is the birthplace of the Prophet Muhammad and the site of the Kaaba, which is the holiest shrine in Islam. Muslims from all over the world are required to make a pilgrimage to Mecca, known as the Hajj, at least once in their lifetime if they are physically and financially able. The significance of Mecca stems from its historical and religious importance in Islam, making it the most revered and sacred place for Muslims.

    Muslims believe that a person's _________________ will be weighed when he dies; if they are heavy, he goes to paradise, bit if they are light, he is doomed to hell.

    Correct Answer
    good deeds
    Explanation
    Muslims believe in the concept of the Day of Judgment, where a person's good deeds and bad deeds will be weighed on a scale. If a person's good deeds outweigh their bad deeds, they will be rewarded with paradise. However, if their bad deeds outweigh their good deeds, they will be condemned to hell. This belief emphasizes the importance of leading a righteous and virtuous life in order to attain salvation in the afterlife.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    One divine purpose of general revelation is to remove people's excuses for not believing in God.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    General revelation refers to the knowledge of God that is available to all people through the natural world and human conscience. One of the purposes of general revelation is to provide evidence of God's existence and attributes, so that people cannot claim ignorance or lack of evidence as an excuse for not believing in God. By revealing Himself through creation and the moral law written on human hearts, God removes any valid excuse for rejecting Him. Therefore, the statement that one divine purpose of general revelation is to remove people's excuses for not believing in God is true.

    Shari'ah law would include full implementation of all of the following practices EXCEPT what?

    • Child sacrifice

    • Slavery

    • Wife beating

    • Heavy taxation of Christian and Jews living in Muslim lands

    • Killing of Muslims who convert to another faith

    Correct Answer
    A. Child sacrifice
    Explanation
    Shari'ah law is a legal system based on Islamic principles and teachings. It is designed to promote justice, fairness, and the well-being of individuals and society. Child sacrifice, which involves the intentional killing of children as a religious ritual, is not a practice that is included or endorsed in Shari'ah law. The other practices listed, such as slavery, wife beating, heavy taxation of non-Muslims, and killing of Muslims who convert to another faith, have been historically associated with certain interpretations or implementations of Shari'ah law.

    Special revelation refers to God's making himself known through the Bible.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Special revelation refers to the idea that God has revealed himself to humanity in a unique and specific way, primarily through the Bible. This means that the Bible is seen as a direct communication from God, containing his divine message and teachings. True means that the statement accurately describes special revelation as God's way of making himself known through the Bible.

    1 Peter 3:15 says, "but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a ____________ to anyone who asks you fro a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect."

    Correct Answer
    defense
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "defense." This is because the verse from 1 Peter 3:15 encourages believers to be prepared to provide a defense or reason for their hope in Christ when asked by others. It emphasizes the importance of being able to articulate and explain one's faith with gentleness and respect.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    Which of the following is part of God's creative design for human beings?

    • Companionship

    • Stewardship over the earth.

    • Work

    • All of the above

    • A and B only

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    All of the options listed are part of God's creative design for human beings. Companionship is an essential aspect of human life, as humans are social beings who thrive in relationships with others. Stewardship over the earth refers to the responsibility humans have to take care of and protect the environment and all living creatures. Work is also a part of God's design, as it allows humans to use their skills and talents to contribute to society and fulfill their purpose. Therefore, the correct answer is "All of the above."

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    God is __________________ (beyond and separate from the world) but also immanent (in the world).

    Correct Answer
    transcendent
    Explanation
    The term "transcendent" refers to the belief that God exists beyond and separate from the world. This means that God is not limited or confined by the physical universe and is instead above and beyond it. However, the term "transcendent" also acknowledges that God is immanent, meaning that God is present and active within the world. This suggests that while God is separate from the world, God is still involved in the affairs of the world and can be experienced or encountered within it.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    Once we embrace our own divinity, we gain power through the Holy Spirit to adhere to God's moral order.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that by embracing our own divinity, we gain power through the Holy Spirit to adhere to God's moral order. However, this contradicts traditional Christian beliefs which emphasize that power and adherence to God's moral order come from a relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ, rather than from embracing our own divinity. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

Sunni Islam is practiced in many countries, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, and Indonesia.

    Why did C.S. Lewis refer to Christianity as "the great myth that turned out to be true?"

    • Christianity is not supported by reason but is true when we have faith.

    • Christianity is the one story of the world that actually happened.

    • Christianity is metaphorically true like the lessons we learn from Greek mythology.

    • All of the above.

    • None of the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. Christianity is the one story of the world that actually happened.
    Explanation
    C.S. Lewis referred to Christianity as "the great myth that turned out to be true" because he believed that Christianity is not just a fictional story or a metaphor, but an actual historical event that took place. He saw Christianity as the one true story of the world, differentiating it from other myths or metaphorical stories. Lewis believed that Christianity's truth is not dependent on reason or evidence, but on faith in the historical reality of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. Therefore, the correct answer is that Christianity is the one story of the world that actually happened.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    Which of the following questions can be answered by general revelation?

    • Does God exist?

    • Why am I here?

    • What is wrong with humanity?

    • What must I do to be saved?

    • All of the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. Does God exist?
    Explanation
    General revelation refers to the knowledge of God that is available to all people through nature and the created order. It is a form of revelation that can be discerned through observation and reason, rather than through specific religious texts or personal experiences. The question "Does God exist?" can be answered through general revelation because it is a question that can be explored and understood through observing the natural world and reflecting on the evidence of design and purpose in the universe.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    Eternity is the escaping of the physical our home is in heaven, not earth.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    This statement is false because it suggests that eternity is the escaping of the physical and our home is in heaven, not on earth. However, there is no concrete evidence or universally accepted belief that supports this claim. Eternity refers to an infinite or endless existence, and beliefs about the afterlife and the concept of heaven vary across different religions and cultures. Therefore, it is incorrect to state that our home is in heaven and not on earth based on the concept of eternity.
