THE BIBLE IN WORSHIP (ANSWERS)

1. Psalms (118:24)

2. Isaiah (6:3). The words were said by the angels Isaiah saw in the Temple.

3. Lectionaries. They are used in Catholic, Orthodox, Episcopal, and other churches.

4. Romans (16:16), 1 Corinthians (16:20), 2 Corinthians (13:12), 1 Thessalonians (5:26). It apparently was common practice in New Testament times.

5. 1 Peter 5:14

6. Psalms (134:12); 1 Timothy 2 also mentions “lifting up holy hands.”

7. The angels who announced Jesus’ birth (Luke 2:14)

8. Matthew (28:19), Jesus’ “great commission,” in which he tells the disciples to baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Spirit

9. John (13)

10. Matthew’s

11. None. So far as we know, infants were not baptized in the early church.

12. Acts (2:4; 19:6) and especially 1 Corinthians (12–14)

13. The Churches of Christ and some other noninstrumental churches

14. Paul, notably in 1 Timothy 2:12, which states that women are not to have authority over men

15. 1 Timothy and Titus

16. No one knows, since church buildings are not mentioned in the New Testament. In the early church, all churches were “house churches,” meeting in private homes.

17. Apparently at every worship service (1 Corinthians 11)

18. 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus

19. Probably 1 Corinthians, which addresses such issues as the Lord’s Supper, speaking in tongues, spiritual gifts, and order in worship

20. None are, which is why some denominations do not use instruments in worship

21. The book of Psalms

22. Not one. The New Testament gives the impression that Christians had been married either in a Jewish service or in a Roman civil ceremony.

23. Alleluia

24. Canticles. This word usually refers not to the Psalms but to other Bible passages that are poetic and are often sung or chanted.

25. The “praise churches,” that is, charismatic churches

26. “The Word of the Lord”

27. “Thanks be to God.”

28. Probably Episcopalian

29. The Psalms

30. The books of the Apocrypha, that is, the books between the Old and New Testaments. Most Protestant churches do not believe that the Apocrypha is inspired—at least, not in the same way as the Old and New Testaments are.

31. The visit of the wise men and also the baptism in the Jordan

32. 1 Corinthians 13: “Love is patient, love is kind.”

33. Matthew’s Gospel, in which Jesus commands the apostles to “go and make disciples” and baptize them with this formula (Matthew 28:19)

34. Job (19:25)

35. Revelation (19:1, 3, 4, 6). But in the original Hebrew Old Testament, the Hebrew words Hallelu jah occur many times—and in our English translations, it almost always appears as “Praise the Lord” (which is what it means, of course).

36. King Herod’s slaughter of the infant boys of Bethlehem when Jesus was born (Matthew 2:16)

37. The resurrection of Jesus, who was raised on the first day of the week

38. Jesus, of course, spoken before he raised Lazarus from the dead (John 11)

39. Old Testament, Gospel, Epistle. (Also, a Psalm is usually said—or sung—or chanted.)

40. It isn’t in the Bible.

41. None. The first generation of Christians did not have (or seem to want) special buildings in which to worship. They met in homes, or wherever they could gather a group of believers together.
