The Church of God is a _____ body.

• A. judicial
• B. ecclesiastical
• C. constitutional
• D. congregational

Answer: (A)

In this context, the key idea is how authority and order are exercised within church governance. Describing the Church of God as a judicial body emphasizes that it has formal, rule-based procedures for making decisions, especially regarding discipline and church governance. There are established processes to interpret and apply church laws, hear matters, and reach decisions, much like a court within the church.

This focus on rules, formal procedures, and resolution of disputes is what sets it apart from a purely congregational setup (where local churches primarily govern themselves by the will of the members), from a broad ecclesiastical label (which is more about being churchly in nature), or from a constitutional framing (which would stress a written constitution). The emphasis on adjudication and formal decision-making best fits the description of a judicial body.
