Bible Trivia Contest

Hey what’s going on people, this is Bebop101 (Angel Michael) I know you guys don’t really know me, but that’s the whole reason behind this. Well, I was told that I needed to post more often, so I decided to, but them I needed something to post about. As I thought, I think came up with a pretty good idea. I don’t know but hey, it’s worth a try, right. So here is the deal. I am one person that loves to read the Bible. Or at least keep up with my studies. I’m pretty fluent in Bible trivia (God has blessed me with a great teacher) and I often like to test my knowledge. I’m not saying that I know it all, because I for one know that I am far from that, but its just something I like to do, so here is the proposal. I challenge anyone on this site to give me a question concerning the Bible in any way, shape or form, that they thing I can not answer. If you would like to take this challenge up, or if you would like to have a friendly contest, you can either respond to this thread, or Privet message me with you question (or if you would like me to ask you one, that’s cool too.) and ill try to answer it within the day. I hope this works when it comes to helping me meet new people. Thanks a lot guys, ill be talking to ya!

I'm really bad at Bible Trivia, but I sure can answer Kaji's question. That would be 2 of each right, if I'm wrong for whatever reason--please feel free to knock me upside the head with a broom.

I'll make an attempt at one, how many children did Abraham have altogether ?

Hey

Hey man, this is Bebop101 (Angel Micheal) to answer your question, Abraham had 12 sons, one for each tribe on Israel. but we also know that God said that his seed would outnumber the stars. This is proved in Galatians 4, where we find that abrahams seed is all beleivers everywhere(those who have faith in Christ)

Man im good, lol... write back ok

12 sons!?! I think you're thinking of Jacob. Abraham only had Issac and Ishmael, as I recall...

Was just thinking the same thing, glad I read all the way down before replying.

As to the ark question, didn't God ask Noah to bring more of certain animals (birds, livestock, etc.) so that a sacrifice could be made without making certain species extinct?

I have a trivia question: what is the shortest verse in the bible?

That one's easy: John 11:35 (KJV) Jesus wept.

Two words!

Very powerful words too, if I do say so myself.

EDIT: Got an answer for the Noah thingie too. 7 of every clean beast, and every fowl of the air, and 2 of every unclean beast (Gen. 7:2-3 KJV)

Hey whats goin on people. I am still trying to do some of the questions you have given me...well i got them all because others have answered them. ( now i know who Boaz's mother is, though i thought i knew that...you learn somthing new every day i guess.) Kaji, you got me good on the "Moses, Noah mix up" question. And so far as the shortest verse in the bible, I don't know whay verse, but i i know that the verse says "jesus wept"...but yeah, keep the questions coming man, im Loving this man.

Luke was greek, wasn't he?

Paul was a Roman citizen... (acts 22:28) ..but a Jew from the tribe of benjamin(Fil 3:5)
