Divine Revelation & Understanding Scripture | Baamboozle - Baamboozle

Name and describe the three stages of the formation of the Gospels

The life and teachings of Jesus, the oral tradition, the written tradition (Gospels)

A person God chooses to speak his message of salvation, primarily a communicator of a divine message of repentance to the Chosen People, not necessarily a person who predicted the future

Prophet

The handing on of the message of God’s saving plan through words and deeds.

Oral tradition

The celebration of the entire Mass. The term can also refer specifically to the consecrated bread and wine that have become the Body and Blood of Christ

Eucharist

The uninterrupted passing on of apostolic preaching and authority from the Apostles directly to all bishops. It is accomplished through the laying on of hands when a bishop is ordained in the Sacrament of Holy Orders as instituted by Christ

Apostolic Succession

A solemn agreement between human beings or between God and a human being in which mutual commitments are made

Covenant

The collection of books of the Bible that the Church recognizes as the inspired Word of God.

Canon

The heritage of faith contained in Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition. It has been passed on from the time of the Apostles. The Magisterium takes from it all that it teaches as revealed truth.

Deposit of Faith

Teachings recognized as central to Church teaching, defined by the Magisterium and considered definitive and authoritative

Dogma

God’s manifestation of himself in a visible form to enrich human understanding of him. An example is God’s appearance to Moses in the form of a burning bush

Theophany

the process of passing on the Gospel message. It began with the oral communication of the Gospel by the Apostles, was written down in the Sacred Scripture, and is interpreted by the Magisterium under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Sacred Tradition

Under the Inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the synthesis in written form of the message of salvation that has been passed down in the oral tradition

Written Tradition

The pattern of specific events in human history in which God clearly reveals his presence and saving actions

Salvation History

From the Latin redemptio, meaning “a buying back,” referring, in the Old Testament, to Yahweh’s deliverance of Israel and, in the New Testament, to Christ’s deliverance of all Christians from the forces of sin

Redemption

God’s self-communication through which he makes known the mystery of his divine plan.

Divine Revelation

To represent or prefigure a person before his or her life or an event before it occurs

Foreshadow

Led to the loss of original holiness, made humans subject to death, and made sin universally present in the world

Original Sin

The Church’s living teaching office, which consists of all bishops, in communion with the Pope, the bishop of Rome

Magisterium

The divine assistance the Holy Spirit gave the authors of the books of the Bible so the authors could write in human words the message of salvation God wanted to communicate

Divine Inspiration

The doctrine that the books of Sacred Scripture are free from error regarding the truth God wishes to reveal through Scripture for the sake of our salvation.
