I went fast, didn't look anything up, guessed at some. Guess I did okay, but it doesn't say what we missed, lol.

Dang Slabbey, 96%, good job!

Thanks. But honestly, they were the most random questions. Hopefully our head knowledge doesn't just stay there, but shapes how we live.

68%, despite the ambiguities, questions for English speakers/readers only (shortest verse for example), and just plain errors in the questions. There is for example no way that a Psalm could refer to Jesus, IMO.

I wondered at that, too. I also had to wonder at just what worth it is knowing what verse is shortest (i.e. how on earth does that make you a scholar of the Bible?) and find it extremely ironic to see someone writing a test to find out if you're a Bible scholar who can't even manage to spell Jerusalem or Jezebel correctly (or 'their', for that matter, and those are just a few that stick out in my mind)!

Knowing Bible facts is good, but understanding the deeper things is better. There are many verses in Psalms that are considered prophecies of Jesus. If David was moved by the Holy Spirit of God, of whom Jesus is His Son, certainly God could prophecy through David's Psalms. But that is another thread.

But a prophecy of prefigurement of the Passion found in a psalm is not the same thing as saying that a psalm is about the Passion is it? I mean, we see prefigurings of the Incarnation throughout the OT, but the OT is clearly not about the Incarnation is it? I think anders is entirely right to dispute that question - at best the way it was worded is misleading. In any case, it's quite clear that the author was no scholar, not of the Bible nor the English language for that matter, so as far as I'm concerned the quiz can be viewed as little other than ironic.

He can't spell "Reuben" either. Apparently he doesn't hang out in Jewish delis.
Or Jericho.
Or "thief"
"Jacobs" should be a possessive
What in tarnation is a "vicotry"?
Bethleham? Is that a deli meat brand?
"distroy"

Hm...a quiz in need of an editor, I guess. Well let's see...

Is never hurt to conjugate one's verbs either.


I wonder what I got wrong? Probably one of those longest/shortest Psalm thingies.

This is more trivia than scholarship. Oh well.

A little more reading would be good. How about get some friends around and discover some fun things together.

Doing pretty good. With a little more effort you will really be there. Challenge yourself and your firends daily to learn more.

You are getting there but study never hurt. There are some funny and bizarre things inside. Find the story of the really fat king.

I tried. >.< Only ones I really didn't know were the wives and the psalms.

I only got a 67% but I do not think that this quiz is theologically accurate. At least it isn't in my opinion. Nevertheless, I do not know a ton of stuff about the Bible.

 

[Question_love_act]

60% for me. I believe I had mostly the New Testament right... and some luck! I don't know the Bible that much, but I did read the NT often.
