How Well Do You Know the Bible?

by

After seeing the YouTube video “Interview with an Atheist,” I got to thinking–just how much do I know about my own religion and the Bible. Like most Christians, I haven’t even read the Bible straight through (although I am working on it). Faith is amazing, and you can certainly build your life around a very basic knowledge of Christianity and still call yourself a Christian, but here are ten questions that you should know how to answer…it’s always a good idea to understand your faith as completely as possible.

1. What are the ten commandment?
2. Can you recite John 3:16?
3. How many days passed before Jesus rose from the dead?
4. Who were the 12 disciples?
5. How many books are in the Bible, traditionally?
6. What does “gospel” mean?
7. What did God create one each of the seven days?
8. Which book of the Bible tells the story of the Apocalypse?
9. What is the golden rule?
10. Can you recite the Lord’s Prayer?

And now for some bonus questions–you may need a Bible to remember these answers!! If you can answer any of the below questions without a Bible, leave your answer as a comment!

- 1. Who was the oldest person in the Bible? How old did he/she live to be?
- 2. What was Paul’s name and job before becoming a Christian?
- 3. Who was sold into slavery by his older brothers?
- 4. What was written above Jesus on the cross?
- 5. Who was Abraham married to? What she their first child’s name?
- 6. Who did Jesus rise from the dead?
- 7. Who hid in a tree because he was so short he could not otherwise see Jesus?
- 8. Who baptized Jesus?
- 9. What was Jesus’ first miracle?
- 10. How long did it rain during the great flood? How long where Noah and his family on the arc in total?
