A. Some have the erroneous idea that from the time of the Church's birth at Pentecost until Martin Lu ther in 1517 it was all one homo geneous group. It is true that one prominent church had spread in many areas. Read history and find the various groups which were in existence before the Reformation. We here at Biola College and Tal bot Seminary do not feel that anti- denominationalism is a mark of spirituality. The opposite could eas ily be true. Most of the names we find today did occur following the Reformation in later centuries. This would have been after the begin ning of the 16th Century A.D. Q. San lose, Calif. "Is Jesus only a Spirit-being now?" A. No, very definitely He is not! Our Lord has His resurrection body Page 19
Q. Redwood City, Calif. "The Bible speaks of God as being jealous of our love and worship. If God is per fect and free from sin, how could He be jealous?" A. Originally the word "jealous" did not mean spiteful, embittered or reeking in vengeance. Cod right fully demands our love. We are to give Him that which properly be longs to Him. The Lord desires to be Cod of all or not God at all. This is what the "jealous" really means. We cannot think of man's sinful propensities, such as hatred, envy and jealousy as being attri butes ascribed to Cod. They are not the same things at all. Q. Porterville, Calif. " Where did all of the churches get their names and the various denominations or iginate?"
