The Church of God stands for the _____ rightly divided.

• A. Old Testament
• B. New Testament
• C. whole Bible
• D. Entire Scripture

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is that Scripture should be treated as a complete, authoritative guide when it is rightly divided across its entire content. The Church of God holds that the whole Bible—the complete canon—is the authoritative source for faith and practice, and it is to be interpreted in harmony so the messages of both the Old and New Testaments fit together under God’s plan in Christ. This integrated view means doctrine and conduct come from all of Scripture, not from just one Testament. Limiting focus to the Old Testament misses the gospel realities fulfilled in Christ, while focusing only on the New Testament omits the types, prophecies, and foundations laid in the old covenant. The phrase whole Bible rightly divided best expresses the church’s stance, emphasizing that every part of Scripture contributes to understanding God’s will when interpreted together.
