They saw signs of the end times in the social and political upheavals of their time, and they eagerly awaited the return of Jesus Christ. This belief in the imminent end of the world was a significant factor in shaping the early Christian community and their sense of urgency in spreading the message of salvation.

Explanation

The Council of Jerusalem, as mentioned in the question, confirmed that the Church was meant to be universal, encompassing the entire world rather than just the Jewish people.

Explanation

Christians believe that through the Mass on earth, they are able to participate in the heavenly Liturgy. The Mass is seen as a representation of the heavenly worship and a way for believers to unite themselves with the worship of the angels and saints in heaven. It is believed that during the Mass, the bread and wine are transformed into the body and blood of Christ, and through this sacrament, Christians are able to enter into communion with God and participate in the heavenly worship.

This is based on the biblical account in which Jesus tells his disciples, "If you forgive anyone's sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven" (John 20:23). This authority to forgive sins is seen as a continuation of Jesus' ministry on earth and is considered a sacrament in the Catholic Church known as the Sacrament of Reconciliation or Confession.

Explanation

The correct answer is Liturgy of the Word. In the first part of the Mass, known as the Liturgy of the Word, the Sacred Scriptures are read.

Explanation

The Ethiopian eunuch is considered the first Gentile convert to Christianity because of the account in the Bible, specifically in the Book of Acts. In Acts 8:26-40, it is described how the eunuch, who was a high-ranking official in the Ethiopian court, was reading the book of Isaiah when Philip the evangelist approached him and explained the Gospel.

Submit
22. 2. ___St. Peter established the episcopacy.

Explanation

St. Peter is traditionally considered the first pope and the leader of the early Christian Church, but there is no historical evidence to support the claim that he established the episcopacy. The development of the episcopacy, which refers to the hierarchical structure of bishops overseeing local churches, took place over several centuries after the time of St. Peter.

Submit
23. 5. ___Immediately after Pentecost, the early Christians ceased attending synagogue services.

Submit
24. 3. ___St. Peter explained how Christ is both Son of God and Son of David.

Explanation

The statement is true because St. Peter explained how Christ is both the Son of God and the Son of David. This suggests that St. Peter provided an explanation or teaching that highlights the dual nature of Christ, emphasizing his divine origin as the Son of God and his human lineage as the Son of David. This understanding is significant in Christian theology as it demonstrates the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies regarding the Messiah and affirms Jesus' divine nature.

Submit
25. 8. ___Catholics are encouraged to study the Book of Revelation so they might discover when the world will end.

Explanation

The statement is false because Catholics are not encouraged to study the Book of Revelation in order to discover when the world will end. While the Book of Revelation is a part of the Bible and Catholics do study it, the primary purpose is to gain spiritual insight and understanding, rather than to predict the end of the world. The Catholic Church teaches that the exact timing of the end of the world is known only to God and it is not within human knowledge or control.

Submit
26. 9. ___St. Paul wrote most of the New Testament, including the Book of Revelation.

Explanation

Submit

Submit
29. Translation of the Greek episcope, which means overseer.

A bishop is a high-ranking clergy member in certain Christian denominations who is responsible for overseeing a specific region or diocese.

Submit
30. Site of the council in which it was decided Christians do not need to follow the Mosaic Law.

Explanation

Jerusalem is the correct answer because it was the site of the council where the decision was made that Christians do not need to follow the Mosaic Law. The council, known as the Council of Jerusalem, took place in the first century AD and was attended by early Christian leaders. They concluded that Gentile believers did not need to adhere to Jewish customs and laws, including the Mosaic Law.
