Don't worry about it, its not like I knew all the answers either, guess that is the benefit of being the one making them, so it appears that its just stuff I know and that it ought to be common knowledge :p

Thank you @Nimos :p:)

I must admit I only recall the movie Samson and Delilah...so I thought it was accurate :p
Click to expand...
Yeah me as well, in fact a lot of people I think have heard the story so many times that they just assume that its her :)

But here are the answers with actual passages so you know that Im just not making up stuff :D

1. Samson is known for his incredible strength which comes from his hair. Why does he have this strength?

Judges 13:5

5 because—surprise!—you're going to conceive and give birth to a son! Don't put a razor to his head, because the young man will be a Nazirite, dedicated to God from inside the womb. He will begin to deliver Israel from domination by the Philistines."

2. Samson loses his strength when his hair is cut, who cut his hair?

Judges 16:19

19 So she enticed him to fall asleep on her lap, called for a man to shave off his seven locks of hair from his head, and so began to humiliate him. Then his strength abandoned him.

3. What was the first thing God created?

Proverbs 8:23-36
23 From eternity I was appointed, from the beginning, from before there was land.
24 When there were no ocean depths, I brought them to birth at a time when there were no springs.
25 Before the mountains were shaped, before there were hills, I was bringing them to birth.
26 Even though he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the world's first grains of dust,
27 when he crafted the heavens, I was there—when he marked out a circle on the face of the deep,
28 when he made the clouds from above, when the springs of the depths were established,
29 when he set a boundary for the sea so the waters would not exceed his limits, when he marked out the foundations of the earth.
30 Then I was with him, his master craftsman—I was his delight daily, continuously rejoicing in his presence,
31 rejoicing in his inhabitable world and taking delight in mankind."
32 "So listen to me, children! Blessed are those who obey me.
33 Listen to instruction and be wise. Don't ignore it.
34 Blessed is the person who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at my doorways—
35 because those who find me find life and gain favor from the LORD.
36 But whoever sins against me destroys himself; everyone who hates me loves death."

4. How many people have Satan approximately killed according to the bible?

Job 1:2

2 Seven sons and three daughters had been born to him.

(The reason I wrote approximately, is because I think to remember that he kills some of his workers as well. But might remember wrong. And also I think there is a difference in how many children are actually killed in the different stories. Should probably have checked it :D)

5. Who is not allowed to get a divorce?

Deuteronomy 22:28-29
28 "However, if a man meets a girl who isn't engaged to be married, and he seizes her, rapes her, and is later found out,
29 then the man who raped her must give 50 shekels of silver to the girl's father. Furthermore, he must marry her. Because he had violated her, he is to not divorce her as long as he lives.

6. King David bought his first wife Michal, but what did he pay for her?

1 Samuel 18:27

27 David got up, went out with his men, and struck down 200 Philistine men. David brought their foreskins and gave them all to the king so he could become the king's son-in-law. So Saul gave him his daughter Michal as a wife.

7. Jesus raise a person from the dead, what is his name?

John 12:1

1 Six days before the Passover, Jesus arrived in Bethany, where Lazarus lived, the man whom Jesus had raised from the dead.

8. A person in the bible never experience death, What is his/her name?

Hebrews 11:5

5 By faith Enoch was taken away without experiencing death. He could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he won approval as one who pleased God.

9. What does God find pleasing?

Leviticus 17:6

6 The priest is to spatter the blood on the LORD's altar at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting and incinerate the fat, making a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

10. God is said to have created everything, but who created disasters according to the bible?

Isaiah 45:7
7 "I form light and create darkness, I make goodness and create disaster. I am the LORD, who does all these things.

Amos 3:6
6 And when an alarm sounds in the city, the people will tremble, won't they? If there is trouble in a city, the LORD has brought it about, has he not?"

Lamentations 3:38
38 Do not both good and evil things proceed from the mouth of the Most High?

Deuteronomy 32:39
39 "Look now! I AM, and there is no other god besides me. I myself cause death and I sustain life; I wound severely and I also heal; from my power no one can deliver.

11. According to the bible how long did it take God to create everything?

6 as he rested on the 7th :)
