BaltCat2 Lesson 2a1
Scripture correlated with catechism -- How We Know about God
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Divine Tradition has the same force as the Bible, since it too contains God's revelation to men. | "Stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter" (2 Thess. 2:15). |
| Divine Tradition is the unwritten word of God – that is, truths revealed by God, though not written in the Bible, and given to the Church through word of mouth by Jesus Christ or by the apostles under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost. | "So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes by the preaching of Christ" (Rom. 10:17) |
| We can know by our natural reason that there is a God, for natural reason tells us that the world we see about us could have been made only by a self-existing Being, all-wise and almighty. | "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and injustice of those men that detain the truth of God in injustice; because that which is known of God is manifest in them. For God hath manifested it unto them. (Romans 1:18-19) |
| The chief message of the New Testament is the joyful announcement of our salvation through Jesus Christ. | "These things are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing, you may have life in His name. (John 20:31) |
| No; some of the passages of the Bible are not to be understood according to our modern manner of expression, since they contain certain figures of speech, parables, and literary forms used by the people of ancient times but not employed in the present. | "In these epistles there are certain things difficult to understand, which the unlearned and the unstable distort, just as they do the rest of the Scriptures also, to their own destruction. (II Peter 3:16) |
| The Bible is the written word of God, committed to His Church for the instruction and sanctification of mankind. | "All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in justice. (2 Timothy 3:16) |
| When we say that God has revealed these truths to us we mean that He has made them known to certain persons, to be announced to their fellow men as the word of God. | "[W]hat you have heard from me before many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also" (2 Tim. 2:2). |
| We can know the true meaning of the Bible from the teaching authority of the Catholic Church, which has received from Jesus Christ the right and the duty to teach and to explain all that God has revealed. | "I am writing you about these matters, although I hope to visit you soon (about) the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of truth. 1 Timothy 3:15 |
