19. What is the hypostatic union of Christ's natures? Justify it biblically.


answer?
The hypostatic union is a term used to describe how God the Son, Jesus Christ,
took human nature for Himself, while at the same time remaining 100% God. Jesus
always was God (John 8:58; 10:30), but in the incarnation Jesus became flesh–He began to
to be a human being (John 1:14). The addition of human nature to divine nature results in
in Jesus, the God-man. This is the hypostatic union, Jesus Christ, one Person, 100%
God is 100% man. The two natures of Jesus, human and divine, are inseparable.
Jesus will forever be God-man, 100% God and 100% man, two natures
different in a Person. The humanity of Jesus and His divinity do not mix, but
they unite without losing their separate identities. Jesus sometimes lived with limitations
of humanity (John 4:6; 19:28) and other times with the power of His divinity (John
11:43; Matthew 14:18-21). In both cases, Jesus' actions were of His unique Person.
Jesus had two natures, but only one person or personality.
The doctrine of the hypostatic union is an attempt to explain how Jesus can be both:
God is man at the same time. It is, in fact, a doctrine that we are incapable of
to fully understand. It is impossible for us to fully understand how God
work. We, as finite human beings, should not assume that we can
to understand an infinite God. Jesus is the Son of God because he was conceived by
Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35). But this does not mean that He did not already exist before being
conceived. Jesus has always existed (John 8:58; 10:30). When Jesus was conceived,
He became a human being in addition to being God (John 1:1,14).

20. What are the stages of the Humiliation of Christ? Justify.


Biblically, the answer?
The stages of the State of Humiliation of Christ: incarnation, sufferings, death and
burial. Php 2:7-8, Is 53:3; Heb 5:8; 12:3-4; (Is 53:6, 12; John 1:29; 2 Cor 5:21; Gal 3:13;
Hb 9.28). (Mc 14.34; Mt 26.56).

21. What are the stages of Christ's Exaltation? Justify.


biblically the answer?
The stages of the Exalted State of Christ: resurrection, ascension, enthronement and
second coming in glory. Php 2:9-11, Mk 16:19; Lk 24:26; Jo 7:39; Ac 2:33; 5:31; Rm
8.17, 34; Eph 1.20; 4.10; 1 Tim 3.16; Heb 1.3; 2.9; 10.12.

22. What are the Offices of Christ? Briefly describe each of them. Proving-
the biblically?
The Offices of Christ: prophet, priest, and king.
As a prophet, he represented God the Father to men, speaking on His behalf.

of Himself for their sins. In Heaven, Jesus as High Priest intercedes for
your Church.
As King enthroned in Heaven, Jesus governs the universe, especially His Church.

23. What is Calvinism and what is the sequence of steps taught by it?
What about the order of God's decrees concerning salvation?
John Calvin, one of the leading figures of the Protestant Reformation in his Institutes emphasized the
doctrine of predestination, claiming that the human being can only enjoy eternal salvation
dispensed by the merits of Christ if he has been predestined for such. "... and they all believed
how many had been destined for eternal life" Acts 13:48. Calvin taught that this
predestination was based solely on the free grace of God, independent of any
However, it is foretold of the sinner that he would make himself pleasing to God. "In Him, I say, in whom
we were also made heirs, having been predestined according to the purpose of Him
who does all things according to the counsel of his will” Eph 1:11. Calvin taught
even though sin has completely incapacitated man and therefore he is totally incapable
to draw near to God if the Holy Spirit does not regenerate him first. "And he continued: For
I told you that no one can come to me unless it has been granted to him by the Father.” John 6:65.
"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them..." John 6:44,45.

The Five Points of Calvinism


Total Depravity
Sin has affected man so deeply that it has incapacitated him from any
ability to respond positively to the calls of the Gospel.
Unconditional Election
God, in His infinite grace, chose the Church for salvation independent of any
expected rate.
Limited Atonement
Christ died on the cross of Calvary only for the elect, that is, only for those
those who are predestined for salvation will be effectively saved.
Irresistible Grace
All the elected will, in due time, be drawn by the Holy Spirit to Christ to
to reach salvation. None of God's chosen will fail to receive salvation
through Christ.
Perseverance of the Saints
All the saved will effectively persevere in salvation throughout their entire life.

24. What is Justification according to the Bible? Provide biblical proof for the answer.
Justification can be defined as the gracious act of God through which He declares
just the one who believes in the meritorious work of Christ done on the cross of Calvary. Rom. 4:5-6;
3:28; Fp.3:9; Rm 9.30-10.4; 1 Cor 6.11; Gl. 2.16; 3.8-9, 21, 24.

25. What are the theological aspects of the death of our Lord Jesus Christ. Use the
Bible in the answer.
The death of Jesus was predetermined, voluntary, vicarious, sacrificial, propitiatory,
redeeming and substitutive. (2Co 5.14); (I Pe 2.24); (Rm 5.8)

26. Does the Bible prove the existence of God or not? If it does, how does it do so?
The Bible does not concern itself with proving the existence of God. It already begins
assuming this. "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." However, throughout the
what was revealed (the books of the Bible), one realizes the existence of God, for the Bible reveals
Your being, Your attributes, Your character, and above all, Your will.

27. One could argue that there are no atheists?


God, when He created man, placed within him the feeling of eternity. The proof of this is

In Ephesians 1:21, the reference seems to include both good angels and the evil ones, in the others.
passages this terminology definitely refers only to evil angels (Romans 8:38;
Ephesians 6:12; Colossians 2:15). Angels were created perfect and without sin, and like man
endowed with free will. Under the direction of Satan, many sinned and were cast out
from heaven (2 Pe 2:4; Jd 6). The sin in which they and their leader fell was pride. Some
Have you considered that the occasion of the rebellion of the angels was the revelation of the future incarnation of
Son of God and their obligation to worship Him.
According to the Scriptures, evil angels spend their time in hell (2 Pet 2:4) and in the world,
especially in the air that surrounds us. (John 12:31; 14:30; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Revelation 12:4,7-
9). Deceiving men through sin, they exercise great power over them (2 Co
4:3,4; Ephesians 2:2; 6:11,12); this power is annihilated for those who are faithful to Christ,
for the redemption that he accomplished (Revelation 5:9; 7:13,14). Angels are not
contemplated in the plan of redemption (1 Pet 1:12), but in hell was prepared the eternal
punishment of the evil angels (Matthew 25:41).

God to account for their actions while they lived in this world. In order to have the

the last generation of the Church that will be transformed (will not experience death). Mt.25;
Romans 14:10-11

35. What is the Eternal State? Biblically prove the subject.

The Church learned to pray more for peace in Jerusalem, although some only with the
interest in achieving the prosperity promised in Psalms 122:6, but in general the
evangelicals learned to love and respect Jews more because they discovered that the
the rebirth of Israel has everything to do with prophecies and with the hands of the clock
from God, who is already approaching midnight, for Christ to return to the clouds
to snatch all Christians from the Earth to the 3rd Heaven or Celestial Jerusalem.

50. What does Theology define as the time of the Gentiles?


Gentiles for Israel are all non-Hebrews. The time of the Gentiles for them is the period
of domination over their lands.

51. What is the end time of the 5th milestone and the last of the Church on Earth?
With religious freedom in most countries, we are then living Matthew 24 of
1 to 14 e, specifically, verses 12 and 14 'end time', where love is
cooling due to the iniquity of science and social evolution. But, on the other hand, the
evangelization is reaching all places and using all possible resources like
large televisions, mass evangelism, radios, and the internet.

52. How does Theology view the approach of the moment of the Rapture?
He states clearly that this event will happen and even says it will be a mystery.
"Behold, I tell you a mystery I Cor 15:51-52", and undoubtedly it will be the climax and
maximum of the Christian Faith. The dead will rise, and we shall be transformed, and all
together we will rise to meet the Lord Jesus.

53. Because they love those who practice unequal yoke and pre-marital sex do not.
will they be Raptured?
