Ultimate Bible Quiz | Comments

Actually, Luke did, in fact write Acts. This is evident through many factors, including the style of the writing. Luke, as a doctor, paid minute attention to every single detail, especially medical conditions. The Jews came to Egypt through Joseph and his family, after he was first sold into slavery. Jesus did, in fact walk on the road to Emmaus with some of the disciples. Luke 24:14-16 "And they talked together of all these things which had happened. So it was, while they conversed and reasoned, that Jesus Himself drew near and went with them. But their eyes were restrained, so that they did not know Him."

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego were completely different people. They were the ones thrown into the furnace by their heathen king, and saved by the grace of God. [Read Daniel, chapter 3]

Also, there is, in fact, an Apocolypse, which will occur directly after the Rapture. This is described through the use of symbolism throughout the book of Revelation.

Hope this helps. :) This was a great quiz!

Hi (: Nice quiz, but I think you need to make a few corrections!

Paul wrote Acts.

The Israelites technically were not yet Israelites when they came to Egypt, they were still the Jews and they came because Joseph invited his family to come live with him in Egypt.

Jesus did not declare any of those things from the cross, he only said, Father, forgive them, for they do not know of what they have done.

Jesus did not walk with the disciples after his resurrection, but he did appear to them in a room and then later ascended to heaven.

You may want to specify on the question about Abrahams son. Abraham had two sons: Ishmael and Isaac.

There is no Apocalypse, only the Rapture.

Again specify on question 30, theyre names were also Shadrach, Meshach, and Abendego.

I think that question 42 is also irrelevant.

I took the quiz out of curiosity to see what kinds of questions would be asked, but as others have pointed out, it is a total misnomer to call this an "Ultimate" Bible Quiz when so many of the questions had 3 out of 4 answers that obviously had NOTHING to do with the Bible. Also, as several others have pointed out, the duration of the rain causing the flood was 40 days and nights, but the waters did not recede immediately when the rain stopped. The total duration of the flood is listed right at the end of the story in Genesis (look it up). BTW, those who plead to know where they went wrong in their answers would be better served by doing a bit of research for themselves! One more correction: the book of Revelation does not "tell about" the Apocalypse. Apocalypse is another name/word for Revelation! (Look that up in a standard English dictionary, if you don't believe me.)

"Be not only a hearer of the Word, but also a doer"...And the Word says that Satan knows Scripture even better than any of us does. Accepting Christ comes with responsibility, to others, ourselves and ultimately Yaweh and Yeshua Messiah, His Son and our Savior. Society today basically teaches not having any resposibility, to do what feels good to you, and when adversity comes, blame everything and everybody but ourselves! But praise God for the gift of free will to choose or reject Him, and I praise Him every day for allowing me to be His child, and to Jesus Christ for paying the debt He did not owe, and for my salvation! Knowing where I'm going sure takes a burden off my mind, it lets me enjoy life more abundantly. A crutch you say? Well, I guess I'll keep hobblin' along with Jesus, it's been a pretty good journey, so far.

96 percent - I guess I was paying attention - LOL I would like to know which ones I got wrong... I wish I could see the original written works - I know some of the writings were left out and some were revised. I would be wonderful to know what the originals information was. I don't believe in organized religon - since most of them are about making money, struggling for power, acting in front of other people when in fact, your intentions are known by God and He is not impressed by all the pomp and ceremonies. He wants a PERSONAL relationsihp with each individual. We are all part of the universal flow and our intentions are what guide our lifes. The more I know the more I understand that this is true...

Psalms contains lyrics that are poetic but are not poetry. Knowing Christ is a relationship, not a spectator sport. If you want an intimate walk with God, first you have to walk the walk yourself. You can't have intimacy with your priest, parents, or church as mediators. Christ walked among us to be our priest and the only authorized paraclete is the Holy Spirit. Second, you have to invest yourself. 90% is a pitiful score to boast about. The priest can't do your homework for you. Would you let a proxy do all the communication with your spouse for you? Third, you have to accept the gift of redemption as a free gift. Otherwise, you insult the Giver. Only one thing in the New Testament meets the definition of 'sacrament' and it's faith plus nothing.

Generally speaking ,I like doing Bible quizzes because itsa the ultimate test of how involved i am in God's word. This quiz on the book of Exodus needs to be improved, in that some of the choices as answers are poor. The possibles answers to select from, should be taken strictly from the Bible.Using cartoon characters limits one thinking, esspecially those who are sudents of the Bible. If a person was not sure of an answer, it was made too easy by including cartoon characters and well known individuals who have no association with the Bible. This made the elimination process too easy.

Unbelievable! Hasn't anyone here taken these fun quizzes on here about "what kind of animal would you be" or "what kind of car are you?" Did you pick apart the answers on that quiz too? Why, then, would you do it to this one? This is intended to be a fun myspace quiz. It is not the study guide for salvation, it is not the final exam for your theology degree. If you got 100%, great. You're either a good guesser or this quiz was easy for you. If you got 10%, great. Maybe you'll get curious and look up why Big Bird didn't write Proverbs.

Now to you who call yourselves Christians, be careful. Your mission is not to win as many theological arguements as possible. Your mission is to win souls, and souls are too often lost because of "those self-righteous Christians." Too many times love is left out of your witness, and without love there is no salvation. Before you speak, before you type, before you present your arguements, first you must show compassion to your audience. If you skip this,

100% -- coming from an agnostic that might be surprising but I've taken an English Lit class on it. Plus I've always found the stories and history fascinating. I guess I can sum up my feelings on the whole issue with a quote from Ghandi (probably not verbatim): "I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians, they are so unlike your Christ." In other words, I think there's a lot of great stuff that Jesus stood for in his life that I see as having been grossly distorted in the millennia since his death. And I do think that more Christians should read what he said more carefully. Especially the Sermon on the Mount. But that's not to say that I'm hostile toward Christians, I love many of them, no less than the people I love who are agnostic or atheist or Jewish, etc. I think that's the way Jesus would want it.

God enabled me to get 100%! Thanks for the great quiz! However, it would be nice to avoid options such as Donald Duck etc., since it would be absolutely abvious to the candidate if that is the answer or not :-)

I would say options would preferably be from Bible itself so that the real knowledge of a person can be tested.

Also a humble request: if possible please avoid ads which are romantic or sensual in these kinds of pages.

I had wandered away from God in to the lusts of the world a lot. But the gracious God brought me back by his mere grace.

Thanks and Praise the lord!

I really enjoyed the quiz. My grandfather was a Southern Baptist Minister, my father was a spoiled priest. I've read through the bible systematically one time. Some of the questions are frighteningly easy, they could have been much more serious, instead of making it a joke. I'm a practicing Reformed Druid. I learned from my mother, who learned from her mother, who learned from her mother, all the way back. My sister just died, and we are having a Transition Ceremony for her next weekend. This is a serious, very old belief system, mostly practiced by women in these times. We will have a High Priestess and High Priest for the ceremony because my sister was a Priestess. I will stand Fire for my sister's Transition. Blessings Bright!

Sitting in a church on Sunday doesn't make you a Christian any more than sitting in a garage makes you a car. Only having a one on one personal relationship with Jesus Christ and accepting that what He did on the cross as payment for your sins secures your eternity in heaven. For the Bible says all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. The wages of sin is death. Jesus paid that price for everyone who accepts Him as their savior.

God bless all,
Terry

YOUR QUIZ SAID: Wow! You are awesome! You are a true Biblical scholar, not just a hearer but a personal reader! The books, the characters, the events, the verses - you know it all! You are fantastic!

I SAY: I've read a lot, but the Word of God says, "The devil believes and trembles." (He would get 100%, too.) However, the key to the whole thing lies not in knowing the events in the Bible, but in knowing Jesus, the Christ of God, the Redeemer of our soul, the epitome of love, the Beginning and Ending of all things, and the Author and Finisher of our faith. Paul didn't claim to have "arrived". I sure can't claim that, either. Blessings! And, by the way---there is no peace apart the Creator of peace.

@altopelirrojo:
Quote

"...If Jesus dies on Friday during the day or afternoon (I'm not sure on the time here) and he's walking around on Sunday morning, that's only a day and a half, not three."

Jesus died at 3 in the afternoon on Good Friday: "At the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, 'ELOI, ELOI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?' which is translated, 'MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?'...And Jesus uttered a loud cry, and breathed His last." (Mark 15:34,37 NASB)

Time was kept according to Roman custom. The first hour of the day was what we would consider 6 am. Add nine hours to that to arrive at 3 pm.

As to the number of days for the time recorded of Jesus' death and resurrection three days later, this is according to Jewish custom of the time. Friday, Saturday and Sunday are three days. This is, of course, different than how in contemporary times we would more likely consider the passing of time. When reading and studying the Bible, remember to keep in context the times in which the books were written.

Hope this helps!

PS -- Is there an answer key for this quiz? I'm uncertain as to the correctness of some of the questions. Thank you!

Repost for typo:

Good basic Bible trivia quiz. I scored 100% as well. I noticed that Simon the Magician, a Pagan, said he knew the answers too. I applaud him, "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble." (James 2:19)

Who knows, maybe someday he will receive Jesus as his personal Saviour. Wouldn't that be grand!

Considering I haven't read the KJV bible in over ten years I'd say that's pretty decent. Having a Jesus freak for a father helped me out on this one, LOL!

I thought the donkey that talked to the evil prophet name was Bilaam NOT Balaam.

I actually enjoyed this quiz! Some people are taking waaay too seriously when they are complaining about the silly choices. They were funny! This a quiz for fun people!

Don't take life too seriously...it isn't permanent!

It's nice to see all the different opinions on here. Some trying to get others angry with mean comments and others commenting about how easy the quiz was. I think it's difficult to remember everything, but it's easy to get the fact that God loves us. He loves us so much that He provided a simple way for us all to be forgiven. It's simple, one way to heaven through Jesus. We're all entitled to our opinions, but some opinions are just thought about and through too much!

I scored 100% yahoo! Most are obvious, but there are some, that you needed to have studied to know them. I look forward to Jesus saying "well done thou good and faithful servant, enter ye into my rest" Ifeel bad for the the girl that hates God. Honey, Jesus STILL would've come and died for your sins, even if you were the only one on the earth. He LOVES you. God loved the world so much that He Gave His only begotten Son, that who ever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life.John 3:16

Jesus was raised on the third day, not after three days, but after one day: crucified on Good Friday, then the Sabbath, harrowing the hell into which He had descended; and raised on the first day of the week , while it was yet dark - so after one day.

And according to Genesis 7: 24 the waters prevailed upon the earth 150 days, the rain (NEB) having lasted 40 days and 40 nights.

This quiz should have been a no-brainer for anyone who has read the Bible or most of it. One question had two answers, Psalms and Eccclesiastes are both poetry books. Reading the blog saddened me. The Old Testament covers the history of man turning its back on God. The New Testament is all about how God showed His love for us to the point of sacrificing His own Son for our redemption. It is not at all about hate. It is totally about love. What saddened me is that people cannot see that.

I think this quiz insults people's intelligence! ;) I haven't even read the bible and I knew the answers to most questions simply because some of the alternatives were obviously wrong. Like Donald Duck, bicycles and pizza, to name but a few of the most obvious.

I was hoping the alternatives would all be so plausible that you wouldn't be able to guess the right answers. That way the score would've given me a better idea of my bible knowledge, which can't be that good, really.

No offence, but the ultimate biblequiz contains a big error! The question about the flood does not give the correct answer as an option. The answer that I chose (40 days) comes from Genesis 7:12 and 7:17, but if you read verse 12 correctly it sais that it rained for 40 days, not that the flood took 40 days and as for verse 17 it sais it took 40 days before the ark was lifted. This may not be very obvious in English, but it's very clear in the Hebrew. Moreover Genesis 7:24 clearly states that the flood took 150 days!

Also, in our belief system it is forbidden to ridicule the beliefs of any other person. Live And Let Live. God expresses Godself to all in different ways. It is best to stay with the religion you learn at home, because a tradition of faith goes back generations, and is self-sustaining. One does not seek to bring in strangers. they must be Of The Families.
