Can Bible College benefit you? Take our Pop Quiz and find out.
Our confidential self-assessment multiple-choice pop quiz below has been created to help the reader decide whether they will benefit from attending Bible College or not. It is intended to provide a bench mark of their knowledge of their faith. The value of Bible College is that you will learn things that will never be preached by your ministers and leaders and rarely taught by your teachers in the majority of church environments and services. So what can be the benefits of learning subjects like Church History with its attending theology, the study of end times, how to correctly interpret the Bible and how to preach? Well the Church has encountered many errors in the past and knowing them and seeing how the Church countered them may even save one’s soul or cement one’s salvation. Honestly, would you know if your ministers, leaders and teachers were providing you with the facts of the Christian Gospel or not? How important is it to you to ensure your salvation is solid and unshakable? Remember the Lord Jesus said, “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.” (Matthew 7:15 NIV) Additionally, we live in an age where many are deconstructing the facts of historical record and fabricating new ‘facts’ to further their own narratives and agendas. Did the Church deliberately quash alternative doctrines and perhaps still does? You bet! So why not discover the real reasons for yourself? Come and join us for a friendly and safe environment to learn challenging great truths without being judged – since no question is stupid and/or will be ignored.
In all cases choose as many answers that you think are appropriate and keep a personal record of your answers for marking purposes:
