1) True or false. To be a Christian, one must believe that Jesus Christ is the only Son of the Father, and that he is God himself.

False, one must have Jesus as their Savior and Lord, and accept him in their lives.

2)True or false. The name Christ is the family name of Jesus.

False, the last name of Jesus was Carpenter. In those days they took the name of their profession.

3) True or false. Even though the Son of God became man, veneration of pictures of Christ's human body is idolatry that violates the first commandment condemning the veneration of likenesses of any creatures in heaven or earth.

4)What is the significance of naming Mary's child "Jesus"?

a-Jesus means in Hebrew "God saves."

d-In the Old Testament, Isaiah prophesied that the Messiah to come would have the name "Jesus."

5) Because Scripture tells us that Jesus increased "in wisdom and in stature," we know that he did not know, in his earthly life, that he was Messiah and the Son of God.

False, Jesus knew that he was the Messiah.

6) To confess that Jesus is Lord is to:

a-acknowledge that Jesus is the Messiah.

b-have an assurance of one's salvation.

7) Why can Jesus be the one and only mediator between God and men?

b-Because only He could have endured such suffering for us.

c-Because as a person who is both partly divine and partly human he can be a representative of both God and humanity.

8) True or false: The fact of the Son of God becoming fully man means that the person Jesus had a human nature, but not a divine one.

False, he had both

9) Which is true?

e-Jesus Christ possesses one nature, composed of a uniting of the divine and human elements.

10) Which is true?

c-Jesus Christ possesses two wills�one divine and one human.
