Series of Questions and Answers on Christian Faith (in Swedish) Transcription samples made by Maria Erling: #213 Q: What are the two great parts of Christ's church? A: The struggling church on earth and the triumphant church in heaven. #214 Q: Why is the church on earth called the struggling church? A: Because it fights against the devil, sin, and the world. Other notes from Erling: I'm not sure if this might have been some kind of ordination exam that Efraim had to fill out for some church - it is typed on a Swedish keyboard as it has all the special Swedish characters, but it also looks like it is a copy/carbon [blue, blurry letters] of the original.
