To challenge the requirement of circumcision and Torah observance for non-Jewish Christians. To congratulate the churches in Galatia for their strict adherence to Jewish dietary laws. To provide a detailed itinerary of his upcoming missionary journeys. To request financial support for the poor in the church at Jerusalem. 2 / 10 In Galatians 1-2, how does Paul defend the authenticity of his message and his authority as an apostle? He cites the unanimous vote of the Galatian church elders who appointed him. He provides a letter of recommendation written by the opposition group in Jerusalem. He highlights his extensive training under the apostles Peter and James in Jerusalem. He states he was commissioned directly by the risen Jesus himself. 3 / 10 Why did Paul confront Peter (Cephas) in the city of Antioch? Peter stopped eating with non-Jewish Christians due to pressure from a Jerusalem opposition group. Peter was teaching that Jesus was not the Messiah. Peter refused to travel to Galatia to help Paul's missionary work. Peter was demanding that Paul pay a tax to the Jerusalem temple. 4 / 10 According to Paul's argument in Galatians 2:16, how is a person 'justified' or 'declared righteous'? By proving one's ethnic lineage as a descendant of Abraham. By maintaining a balance of good deeds and religious observations. Only through trust in what God accomplished through Jesus the Messiah. Through strict adherence to the commands and rituals of the Torah. 5 / 10 What is the 'negative' role of the laws of the Torah according to Paul’s explanation in Galatians 3? The laws acted as a magnifying glass that exposed human sin and rebellion. The laws were inherently evil and meant to lead people away from God. The laws were given to Israel to prove they were naturally superior to other nations. The laws were intended to be a permanent barrier between Jews and Gentiles. 6 / 10 Paul uses the story of Abraham to prove that God's purpose was always to have a multiethnic family. What is his primary evidence for this? Abraham was the first person to perfectly obey all 613 laws of the Torah. Abraham only received God's blessing after he was circumcised. Abraham was justified by faith before the laws of the Torah were ever given. Abraham traveled to Galatia to establish the first non-Jewish church. 7 / 10 What does Paul mean when he refers to the 'fruit of the Spirit' in Galatians 5? A list of new laws that are more difficult to follow than the original Torah. The specific dietary items that Christians are required to eat to remain holy.

The physical miracles that Paul performed during his first missionary journey. 8 / 10 How does the source material describe the 'Torah of the Messiah'? A new written code that replaces the Ten Commandments with twenty new ones. A specific ritual performed once a year to remember Paul's arrival in Galatia. The requirement that all Christians must eventually become Jewish to be saved. Living by the power of the Spirit to fulfill the law by loving others. 9 / 10 What does Paul conclude is the 'point' that his opponents are missing by demanding circumcision? That only those who speak Hebrew can truly understand the Gospel. That God’s new creation and the multiethnic family are what truly matter. That the Temple in Jerusalem is the only place where God can be worshipped. That Paul was actually the one who wrote the laws of the Torah. 10 / 10 Which of the following best describes Paul's view on the relationship between Jesus and the laws of the Torah? Jesus taught that the laws of the Torah were only for non-Jewish people. Jesus intended for the laws to be followed more strictly by the Galatians than by the Jerusalem church.
