It provides a standard by which to evaluate and discern the accuracy and validity of the prophecies. Without the Word of God, there is a risk of false or misleading prophecies that may lead people astray. Therefore, having a solid understanding of the Word of God is crucial in discerning true prophecy from false ones and staying aligned with God's will.

Not everyone had the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
In the Old Testament, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit was not a universal experience for all individuals. Instead, the Holy Spirit would come upon specific individuals for specific purposes, such as prophets, judges, and kings. This is seen in instances where the Spirit empowered individuals like Samson or David for their roles. However, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit became more widespread and accessible to all believers after Jesus' death and resurrection, as promised by Jesus himself. Therefore, it is true that not everyone had the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament.

- A.
  
  Yes
- B.
  
  No
Correct Answer
B. No

Explanation
No, there is never a time when a prophecy should go against the Word of God. The Word of God is considered to be the ultimate truth and the highest authority for believers. Prophecies are believed to be messages from God, but they should align with the teachings and principles of the Word of God. If a prophecy contradicts the Word of God, it is considered false and should not be followed. Therefore, it is not acceptable for a prophecy to go against the Word of God.
