1. How can we address the fundamental questions about man and the universe?
science only, since it is objective truth
through the principle of verification
we need to understand the nature of God and the principle by which He created
the cosmos since God is the causal being and we are the resultant being
It is a waste of time to address these questions since we cannot come to any
definite conclusion
2. How can we know God's nature who is invisible?

I, II & III
all the above
none of the above
8. What are God's Original Internal Character and Original External Form?
I. God most essential character is His heart and His Original Internal Character
is of His Emotion, Intellect and Will which is centred on His heart.
II. God's Original External Form, that is also invisible, is His Universal
Prime Energy which is the causal energy of all energy forms of this physical
world.
III. God is beyond understanding and any attempt to describe God ultimately
limits Him
IV. When we refer to God's love and truth we are refering to God's Original
Internal Character
V. When we refer to God's Almighty and all-powerful nature, we are referring
to God's External Form
I & II
I, II & III
I, II, IV & V only
all the above
9. Even though God created each being with the necessary elements to maintain
its own existence, is it God's purpose for each created being to live independently?
No, because all created beings were meant to exist, grow(develop) and multiply
through inter-dependent and harmonious relationships with God and one another
Yes, due to the principle of the survival of the fittest
10. The forces necessary for existence, development and reproduction come
from
food, water, air and sunlight that we receive
reciprocal relationship of giving and receiving between subject and object
both within each of us and without between individuals. This giving, receiving
and responding is call Give and Take action. .
within each one of us and not from without
our effort and hard work, independent of others
11. Some examples of give & take actions
I. individual: mind & body/ arteries and veins/inhale and exhale
II. family: husband and wife/parents and children/elder & younger
III. good & evil
IV. society: Government and people/teacher and students/organisation and individuals
V. material world: nucleaus and electrons/sun and planets
I & II
I, II & III
I, II, IV & V only

I & II
I, II & III
all the above
none of the above
13. Subject and object come together to have give and take actions because(check
if it is true)
of the fundamental force of God which God endowed to every created being:
Universal Prime Force
of attractive forces between male or female
14. Why is it that every created being has purpose and always strive to
live for the purpose of the whole(live for others) rather than their individual
purpose?
Universal Prime Force: the causal force of give & take forces
Man must fulfill individual purpose before living for others because man is
different
forces of give and take
life force in every created being

I & II
I, II & III
IV only
all of the above
16. What differentiate the purpose of the whole and individual
purpose?
purpose of the whole brings joy to God and others whilst individual purpose
brings joy to self
no different, since pursuing any of the two would lead to the same results
pursuing individual purpose would eventually lead to fulfilling purpose of
the whole whereas pursuing purpose of the whole would lead to complete denial
and suppression of individual purposes
17. Explain the original relationship that God wanted to establish with
man from the understanding of give & take action?
God wanted to affirm that He is the ruler & master and man in the servant
position is suppose to just obey and follow. If they have done that they would
have established perfect give and take relationship with God.
God, giving the commandments to man is God's love for his children at the
time of Adam and Eve. If Adam and Eve had responded in trust, faith and obedience
a perfect vertical give & take relationship with God would have been established
and mankind maintaining this vertical relationship would be able to maintain
harmonious horizontal relationships by living for each other
If Adam and Eve had responded to God in obedience to His commandments, God
would then be able love them unconditional as His children and the descendants
of Adam and Eve would be His children for eternity.
18. Due to the fall of the first human ancestors, fallen mankind lost
the perfect vertical give and take with God. What is God's plan for salvation?
God must come in place of Adam and established the perfect vertical give and
take with God. Those that believe in this Messiah will be saved
God predestined the fall, and at His pre-determined time He would send to
us His only begotten son to save us.
A person like Adam, born without sin, must restore Adam's failure and establish
a perfect give and take relationship with God. Mankind establishing perfect
give and take with this Messiah would restore their lost relationship of give
and take relationship with God.
19. What can we say about purpose of creation?
I. each creation has its own purpose of existence
II. after the Fall, man is the most miserable of God's creation because fallen
man is confused and ignorant of the purpose of his existence.
III. Man's purpose of existence is determined by his creator, God. By understanding
the purpose of creation we can understand the true purpose of man and the
universe
IV. God does not have a clear purpose for man because God want us to determine
our own purpose
I & II
I, II & III
IV only
all the above
20. What else can we say about God's purpose of creation?
God's purpose of creation changes according to man's situation
God's purpose of creation or His will is eternal, unchanging and unique just
as He is eternal, unchanging and unique.
God has no ideal since God gave man free choice and freedom
21. What can we say about joy?
I. it is a feeling that you create yourself. Depending on how you prepare
your state of mind we can meet all experiences with joy.
II. joy is not created by the individual alone. It comes when we have an object,
whether invisible or visible in which we see our own nature refleced and feel
the stimulation derived from the object
III. when we as children of God respond to God's expectations and fulfill
His hopes and dreams for us, we give joy to God and ourselves
I & II
II & III
all the above
none of the above
22. What can we say about God giving the commandments to Adam and Eve?
test of faith
God expressed His will and heart of love for man. Man as an object of love
and joy, was suppose to respond most directly to God's will and heart
God knew that Adam and Eve would disobeyed Him so He predestined the coming
of Christ to redeem sinful mankind.
23. God's purpose for creating man is
I. the 3 great blessings in Gen 1:28: fruitful, multiply and fill the earth
and have dominion
II. perfection of His love by uniting in heart with God and inheriting His
love; multiplying children of goodness centering on God's love by practising
True Conjugal love and realising True Parenthood; and dominating the creation
with God's love centering on God.
III. beyond man's understanding and man should just believe and have faith

24. What is the meaning of God's first blessing to man?
all endeavours of man will be fruitful and successful
to become perfected individuals who are one heart with God, thinking and living
centering on God thus achieving deity and becoming the fruit of God's vertical
love
to have many children
25. When man achieves God's first blessing of perfection what will be
man's relationship with God?
sons & daughters: man will share all God's feeling as their own and man
would not do anything that would bring grief and sorrow to God's heart. Perfected
man would rather want to bring joy to God.
perfected man would be independent from God since He wanted mankind to be
gods as well
man still must maintain his servant position and serve God
26. What is the meaning of God's second blessing for mankind?
to have unrestricted freedom and have wonderful children, establishing families
that can be obedient to God
after fulfilling the first blessing of individual perfection, God wanted Adam
and Eve to become eternal husband and wife perfecting the heavenly family
multiplying children of goodness.
God wanted Adam and Eve to multiply the fruitfulness that God has blessed
them with.
27. What else can we say about the 2nd blessing?
I. since God gave all three blessings, the 2nd blessing takes immediate effect
together with the 1st and the 3rd blessing. That means God wanted Adam and
Eve to have children of goodness immediately i.e. God blessed them husband
and wife.
II. Given the right to multiply God's children of goodness, man would experience
with his children the same joy that God experiences in His vertical love for
us
III. Adam and Eve would have become the True Father and True Mother of all
mankind, thus becoming the eternal True Parents of mankind
IV. This true family would then form true society, true nation and true world
centering on God's love and truth. This would establish God's eternal Kingdom
of Heaven on earth and in Heaven.
I & II
I, II & III
II, III & IV
all the above
28. What can we say about the third blessing of "dominion" given
to Adam and Eve?
God wanted mankind to be the ruler of this world just as God is ruler over
man.
God created man in His image and He created the Creation in the image of man.
God wanted man to dominate the creation with love and truth in the same manner
as He is the God of love and truth to us.
Man does not need to earn this right to rule since God blessed this right
and authority to mankind at the time of Adam and Eve. Blessing as the word
implies is a gift from God. However, the only condition is that man must be
eternally obedient to God as the ruler.
29. What can we say about the world if Adam & Eve had fulfilled the
3 blessings?
I. there would still be evil as it is today since God want mankind to choose
between Him or self-centeredness
II. God and man, and man and creation would be in complete harmony thus establishing
the Kingdom of Heaven on earth
III. mankind would live on earth with a life of total oneness with God and
upon physical death would pass into the spiritual Kingdom of Heaven
IV. such men would live eternally under the perfect dominion of God's love
I & II
I, II & III
II, III & IV only

III. God's will is conveyed to all His children through the true ancestors(central
nervous system) of mankind under the ideal of God causing all to work toward
one purpose

I & II
I, II & III
I, II, III & IV
32. What evidence do we have that man also was not created perfected but
was supposed to be perfected through a growth period for perfection?
Adam and Eve need no period of perfection since they were created by God
the fact that Adam and Eve fell meant that they were still growing in perfection
in love and heart. Perfected Adam and Eve would not disunite & disobey
with God causing Him sorrow and grief.
The Bible did not reveal this and thus we should not speculate
33. What are the three stages of the growing period?
formation, growth and completion
solid, liquid and gas
mineral, plant and animal kingdom
evening, night and morning
34. Explain the period of growth in terms of dominion
I. After going through the growth period and reaching perfection, man
will then dwell in God's direct dominion of love as a substantiaal object
of the perfect God
II. Perfected man will also have direct dominion over all perfected things

terms of development and perfection?
I. All created things grow through the simple autonomy and dominion of
the Principle, but man is perfected with the added requirement of fulfilling
his portion of responsibility by observing the commandments of God
II. Man's perfection = Principle + responsibility
III. Man's perfection is fundamentally dependent on man's response to God's
love and truth. Man's main responsibility is to unite absolutely with God's
heart.
IV. There is no fundamental difference between creation and man in terms of
perfection
I & II
I, II & III
III & IV
all of the above
37. Explain man's perfection in terms of man and God's responsibility?
I. Man's perfection is determined largely by man and not God
II. Man's perfection = Man's responsibility + God's responsibility
III. Man's responsibility is to have absolute faith in God and God's responsibility
is giving the commandments to man
IV. Man's perfection has nothing to do with man's responsibility. God is Almighty
and He does not depend on man's responsibility. That would mean that God is
weak and vulnerable.
I & II
I, II & III
IV only
none of the above
38. Why was man given human responsibility?
I. True right of dominion belongs only to the one who has created. God
wanted man to create his own perfection through responsibility so that man
can have the right of dominion.
