A CHRISTIAN'S DIAGNOSTIC TOOL - SIMPLIFIED 'DIAGNOSIS'

===========================================================

If you missed question number 1...

     ...you will want to study up on Hermeneutics and Exegesis.

If you missed questions in numbers 2 - 5...

     ...you will want to study up on Bible basics.

If you missed questions in numbers 6 - 11...

     ...you will want to study up on Bible study skills.

If you missed questions in numbers 12 - 13...

     ...you will want to study up on theology.

If you missed questions in numbers 14 - 17...

     ...you will want to study up on biblical discernment.

NOTE: Regarding questions 14-16... These were to test how discerning you are.

Lest we be branded as having bad theology, the answers to these specific

questions are:

14.* Explain what the Bible says 'blasphemy of the Holy Spirit' is.

     (Mk 3:22-30 clearly teaches it is attributing the miraculous works Jesus did

     to the devil / an unclean spirit rather than the HOLY Spirit.)

     (NOTE: If you said it was rejecting Jesus - that was a wrong answer based

     upon what is actually written in the Bible - with no finaggling.)

15.* Cite the Scriptures that teach we are to confess our sins to God and He

     will forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness and we must then

     learn to forgive ourselves.

     (1 Jn 1:9 teaches us to confess our sins to God… but there is no verse in

     the entire Bible that directs us to forgive ourselves.)

16.* Explain why a loving God would never will that any of His precious children

     suffer.

     (Were you able to cite 1 Pt 4:19 as a refutation to this statement? It says

     'Therefore, let those also who suffer according to the will of God entrust

     their souls to a faithful Creator in doing what is right.)
