The Atonement and Forgiveness of Sins
True/False Quiz
This is a quiz I have kept from Seminary ? years ago... I
thought it
might be helpful to someone else if I put it on here.
Christ's suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane and his crucifixion on the cross
are all part of what is referred to as the Atonement. (True)
Although Luke 22:44 leaves some doubt as to whether or not the Savior actually
bled from every pore in the Garden, the fact is that he literally did bleed from
every pore. (True)
Because
of the Savior's Atonement, everyone but the very most wicked will get
resurrected. (False - everyone will be resurrected.)
Because
of Christ's Atonement, people can be forgiven of all but adultery, murder and
denying the Holy Ghost. (False - John 8:11)
If we
refuse to forgive others, we make it so that the Lord can't forgive us on
Judgment Day. (True - Matthew 6:15)
In the
above question, it would be more correct to say, "...the Lord won't forgive us"
because there is nothing the Lord can't do. (False - the Lord CAN'T forgive us,
Alma 42:13)
Bishops
can forgive sins. (True)
If you
have a problem confessing your sins to your own bishop, it is sometimes
permissible to confess to another bishop. (False)
Once
you have gotten up the courage to confess and then do confess, you have
pretty-much completed the process of repentance. (False - confession is the
beginning, not the end)
It is
not possible in this life to know for sure if you have been forgiven, but you
can have a feeling of peace that gives you hope. (False - Mosiah 27:29)
If you
had been living really quite righteously, but swore just as you got killed in a
traffic accident, your last-minute swearing would serve as proof in heaven that
you should not be given celestial glory. (False)
The
only sins we must confess to a bishop are the sins listed in the temple
recommend interview. (True - the last question in the temple recommend interview
covers all other sins)
You'll
know if you've have been forgiven because you won't remember the sin anymore.
(False - you will always know what choice you made; however, because of the
atonement it shouldn't consume us, rather free us so we don't worry about it any
longer)
If we
repent of our sins, they will be taken off the records in heaven. (True)
Because of the Savior's Atonement, many people will have a very enjoyable
Judgment Day. (True)
It is
okay to hope to make it to the highest part of the Celestial Kingdom, but it
would be a bit arrogant to plan on it. (False - Live your life with your eternal
goals in mind)
Because
of the Atonement, a great many people will make it to exaltation. (True - D & C
76:67)
