A Quiz on Romans Chapter One

Romans 1:1-7

Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, 2 which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, 3 concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh 4 and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, 5 through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations, 6 including you who are called to belong to Jesus Christ, 7 To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.


The following quiz I wrote to aid in spurring on discussion about some topics in Romans 1:1-7. Sometimes there are right and wrong answers and at other times there are exploring questions.

1. When someone is called by God, what does that calling mean? (Choose all that apply.)

A. The call of God is for a specific ministry such as apostle, prophet, or pastor for which that person is separated from a normal life.

B. A call from God is when he called Israel to be his people. It is a part of his covenant with that people.

C.A call to the nations of the earth to serve the Lord God.

2. Which of the following scriptures are most explicit about David being the father of the Messiah?

A. 2 Samuel 7:12-16
B. Psalm 89: 35b-37
C. Isaiah 9:6, 7,
D. Jeremiah 23:5, 6
E. Jeremiah 33:15-17, 26
F. Amos 9:11

3. Different views of the difference between the New Testament and the Old Testament (Only one answer is correct, the other three are wrong.)

A. The Old Testament shows a God of judgment and the New Testament shows a God of love. Jesus came to put away the God Judgment.

B. The Old Testament was when God worked with a nation, Israel but God became disgusted with their sin so he gave up on them so in the New Testament, now he works with the Church.

C. The Old Testament was when God saved people by the works of the Law and now in the New Testament saves up by us by grace.

D.The OT was a revelation of the righteous requirements of the God and his promise of redemption, the NT is where there is a fulfillment of that promise.



4. Is God more concerned with saving individuals or peoples?

A. God is not going to judge groups, each of us must stand before God alone.

B. God is concerned about people groups and individuals. Each of us will be judged as an individual primarily but also as our generation and as our nation. We are both cooperate and individual.

C. Most sins are those of the group. An individual's private life usually does not hurt anyone else.

A lion, a rooster, a billy-goat and Tommy Franks go to a bar...

Image
Three things are stately in their tread; four are stately in their stride: the lion, which is mightiest among beasts and does not turn back before any; the strutting rooster, the he-goat, and a king whose army is with him. ---Proverbs 30:29-31 (ESV) Different creatures in nature have different glories. A rooster is a glorious thing to see. He is proud of his feathers and his position. A lion knows he is a beast to be feared. A rooster would be no challenge for a lion though. A he-goat is no challenge for a lion, though he also is proud of his position and strength. When we think of a lion we think of an animal dangerous and to be feared. But in a sense, a general (king) with his troops who are equipped for battle find no match in a lion. This is especially true if we are talking about a modern general with attack helicopters, snipers, artillery, tanks and well trained troops. We all have our own gifting and glory. The glory may be small or large. One may be a

Celtic Words In English

I once heard a lecturer say that English was made up at its heart three languages; Anglo-Saxon (A Germanic tongue), French (influence from William the Conquerer A.D. 1066), and Latin (from the church and scholars). She also mentioned that Celtic had been the language of England before the influence of the Anglo-Saxons and some “tie together words” had been brought into English. I assumed she meant words which tie sentences together, or nouns. But I was not sure which words she meant in particular. So I did a little research to find out what those relics in our language are. It seems that Celtic has few words surviving in English. I'm not counting the Celtic words which came in through other languages such as French. I'm not sure that there is a definitive list of Celtic words in English but here are a few I found in various places on the Internet and a book I have. ass (borrowed earlier by the Celts from the Latin asinus) bannock bard blarney bucket car cart clock coll

Was the New Testament Letters Only Written to Male Brothers?

  Question:   Was the Bible written to men only and not to women?   Some teach that the New Testament letters address brothers exclusively.      Executive Summary Answer:   Women and men share in the blessings of the gospel, Scripture was written for both women and men. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. (Gen. 1:27 ESV) Answer:   The Bible recognizes differences between genders but also recognizes the commonality between male and female genders.   The book of Proverbs is written to sons to gain wisdom.   “Hear, my son, your father's instruction, and forsake not your mother's teaching, for they are a graceful garland for your head and pendants for your neck.”   (Prov. 1:8-9 ESV) The book of Proverbs was written in order to teach young men wisdom.   Even so, often it is the female gender that teaches wisdom.   Early in the book, the male gender, a son, is to embrace the teaching from a member of the
