Who Was He???

There was a man who went one day
On top a Joppa house to pray,
And while he waited for his meat
He dreamed he saw a great big sheet
Let down from heaven, and inside
Fowls and creeping things did ride,
The one who prayed was told to eat,
For God had cleansed this "common" meat.
Who was he? (Acts 10)

The names of sixteen books of the English Bible are hidden in the text of the following paragraph. Can you find all sixteen of them?

I once made a remark about the hidden books of the Bible. It was a lulu. Kept people looking so hard for facts and for others it was a revelation. Some were in a jam, especially since the names of the books were not capitalized. But the truth finally struck home to numbers of readers. To others, it was a real job. We want it to be a most fascinating few moments for you. Yes, there will be some really easy ones to spot. Others may require judges to help them. I will quickly admit it usually takes a minister to find one of them, and there will be loud lamentations when it is found. One little lady says she brews a cup of tea, so she can concentrate better. See how well you can compete. Relax now for there are really sixteen names of books of the Bible in this story.

should keep you going for a bit lol kinna takes away from the debates lol

hmmmm....Has anyone ever actually fully read the bible? I'd be surprised if someone said yes.

Surprise!

And BM, I know I don't have to tell you how funny it is that you posted this little diddy, do I?!

I posted it to lighten the mood...and yea to have fun....I posted it well over an hour ago and not one single person has answered a question LOL.................I guess no one really knows their bible

I KNOW all the answers ner ner

No one knows their bible or THE bible?

I know divorce court and I gotta go watch it.

spammer!!

Yes numerous times.

Why is that? Just to look at it's flaws?

yep, a few times. and an unabridged dictionary, a medical dictionary, 2 sets of encyclopedias... mostly between the ages of around 10 and 14 when I read them though.

were we supposed to post the answers? there's a few I'd have to look up for sure

In that search-a-word, I know things like "she brews" is clever and all, but it just rubs me the wrong way to have to take a letter off and eliminate a space to spell the word cause to me that means that word isn't in the paragraph if I have to fudge with it.

Ok are you guys even christians?

ok here is how well i know my bible

9. - What is the last book in the Bible? Book of Leviathan

10. - If you opened the Bible in the middle, what book would you find? Book of Belial


only questions i could flip to make work for my bible

Well it is ok to look up a few answers...cuz by looking at this thread now..no one has been able to answer a question

Yes post the answers Celumnaz thanks I appreciate it

At one time yes....longer than you have been alive.
____________________________________________________

BM you can add these questions if you want:

How many total chapters are there in the Bible?

How many total verses are there in the Bible?

How many total words are there in the Bible?

I can PM the answers to you if you want.

Yea sure Zannie

But it would be nice if someone could answer a few questions..I did put some time into this <--look at what y'all have done

for positively sure I don't know the answers to preacherman Z's last 3 questions.... kinda makes me want to ask how many numbered pages are there in the bible? Or How many Full Verses are on page 92?

and I'm thinking... there's probably someone out there who actually knows this thing!

i answered a few....

Check your in box

I don't want to spoil it for others but there are 66 books in the KJV.

your right there are 66 books in the whole bible YAYA Zannie has one right

Blimey I read your PM...there is over ______ verses LOL I'd dare say i have seen X amount all posted up on here through time LMAO

yes I saw your version of the answers LOL


But I wanted to see if others who are religious answer them...its a serious quiz

Here's a couple of teasers for you;

What's the longest verse in the entire Bible?

How many Scriptures are produced per year?

I'll answer those in PM LOL

I love this thread being in this forum especially. All the apologists that jump into any thread related to questioning god or christianity, and yet when asked to take a quiz as to how well they know that which they defend so vehemently elsewhere, not one has a word to say!
And it cant be because they don't trust the author that posted the thread. Since they certainly have no problem arguing with her in other religious topics!


BM, you have your answer! "How well...." Not at all! (Btw, no I didn't bounce to the site for the answers. That would be....wrong. Satanic yes, but cheating none the less. Though the 16 books hidden in the sentence was a bit of a tease because I was starting to think, ok how did I miss the book of lulu!? LOL )

My answer too all questions that may be asked is... Jesus.

just kidding I'm not going to lie i know the premise of what the stories are in the book but haven't read it since my days in christian school. Man am i glad i switched to public.

haha, this was fun. There's a couple I haven't answered (using a Bible would be cheating, right ).

Regards, PA

Bible teaser 1

1. - How many books are there in the whole Bible? 66 (not including Enoch, Maccabbees etc)

2. - How many books are there in the Old Testament? 39 (not including those above)

3. - How many books are there in the New Testament? 27

4. - In which Testament would you look for the Sermon on the Mount? The New Testament - Matthew 5-7. There's another sermon very similar in Luke, on the Plains instead. Obviously Jesus was very fond of this particular sermon, and he'd repeat it. And why not, it's a great sermon.

5. - In which Testament would you look for the story of Jonah and the great fish? In the Old Testament, of course. Hey, I'm glad you didn't say "whale".

6. - How many of the New Testament books are called the Gospels? only 4 - Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Unless we're talking of the Synoptic gospels, in which case there's only three, or if we're talking about the Gnostic gospels, which.... I don't exactly know how many of them there are.

7. - In what book of the Bible would you read about Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego? Daniel. They're Daniel's friends in the Palace.

8. - What is the first book in the Bible? Genesis. Some might say Enoch though, depending on how they view that particular book.

9. - What is the last book in the Bible? Revelation.

10. - If you opened the Bible in the middle, what book would you find? I vaguely remember hearing somewhere that it's Isaiah.

Zannies bonus questions ...

How many total chapters are there in the Bible? No idea.

How many total verses are there in the Bible? No idea.

How many total words are there in the Bible? Which translation? Ok, that's just trying to throw you off. Really, no idea.

Bible teaser 2

1. - Cain and Abel (Genesis 4, especially v.8) - start with the easy one - brothers.

2. - Abraham and Isaac (Genesis 21, especially v.3) - another easy one - Father and son.

3. - Mary and Martha (Luke 10:38,39) - Presumably Mary, the mother of Jesus, not Mary Magdalene, so I'll say sisters. If it's Mary Magdalene, some would say no relation, others would say Aunty in Law.

4. - Aquila and Priscilla (Acts 18:2) - ok, you got me on that one.

5. - Moses and Aaron (Exodus 4:14) - Brothers, again.

6. - Eunice and Lois (2 Timothy 1:5) - Isn't that Lois and Clark no idea, seriously.

7. - Peter and Andrew (Matthew 4:18) - They were apostles and brothers - Simon (also called Peter) and Andrew.

8. - Ananias and Sapphira (Acts 5) - Husband and wife, though i could be wrong on that.

9. - Joseph and Benjamin (Genesis 42:3,4) - Father and son.

10. - David and Absalom (2 Samuel 18:33) - It's tickling my memory, but I can't recall quite at this point.

11. - (joke bonus question) PA & Zannie lol? - mortal enemies, grrrrr

Mark
Luke
Kings (does that count as two, since there's actually 1 Kings and 2 Kings?)
Acts
Revelation
James
Numbers
Job
Amos
Esther
Judges
Lamentations
Peter
Hebrews

So that's 14 (or 15 if you include 1 and 2 Kings). Someone else can get the last one (or two) if they're feeling up to it.


Bible Teaser 5

How Many Do You Know?

1. - Do you know the city in which Jesus lived as a boy? (Luke 2:39-40) - Nazareth?

2. - Do you know who is called the "Weeping Prophet"? - Not off the top of my head.

3. - Do you know the name of the first Christian martyr? (Acts 7:54-60) - One could claim Jesus, but I'm going to stick with James, who was stoned to death by Saul before his conversion and became Paul.

4. - Do you know where the ravens fed Elijah? (1 Kings 17:5-6) - nope.

5. - Do you know the names of the two people who were never born? Never born? Do you mean never died???

6. - Do you know the names of the two people who never died? Ah, next question explains that one Enoch and Elijah.

7. - Do you know in which book of the Bible the name of God is not found? - Esther

8. - Do you know who told Nicodemus, "Ye must be born again"? (John 3) - I'll take a wild stab and guess Jesus.

9. - Do you know who turned into a pillar of salt when she looked back? (Genesis 19:15, 26) - Lot

10. - Do you know what is "quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword"? (Hebrews 4:12) - the word of God.

That is why I read it...

Aquila: Husband
Priscilla: Wife

That was not too hard

I have seen copies of the bible when I have stayed in hotels....

I even stared blankly at pages when in Religious Eductation class.

I really upset the teacher when answering how the Earth was created. We were meant to answer the 6 days and 7th day rest etc...., but in teo lines I wrote - Science created the world from gas after the big bang.

Really went down badly

You really don't like me, do you. Why the " " remark? One can't be expected to know everything. I'd set myself the challenge of not referring to the Bible at any time. All those answers were off the top of my head. And here I was thinking this was supposed to be a light-hearted thread. No wonder no other Christian had posted here before myself, if their every answer was going to be scrutinized with any gap in their knowledge yawned at by those wishing to take a free potshot.

God is fully able to protect His word from the evil hearts of some man whether they belong to a church or not. And only He truly knows ones heart.
The words of the scriptures are a great puzzle that was dismantled to protect it from corruption, only the individual who truly asks with an earnest desire to know the truth will be given the keys to understanding.
Many can quote the Bible word for word (including the devil himself) but few understand its meaning.
There are two keys to understanding, one is in the heart of man and the other is held by the Holy Spirit of God. The first key is attained by free will and a desire to know the truth (the heart). The Holy Spirit holds the second key to protect it from corruption by the deceiver until they are delivered to the born again soul shortly after acceptance of redemption.
Acts 26:18 To open their eyes, [and] to turn [them] from darkness to light, and [from] the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

This is the mystery of Christianity. Much to the chagrin of those
. that choose to not believe. Is that you must first come to Christ by faith alone and then the truth is revealed to the individual with no doubts.
The facts are revealed within our hearts, but we are only able to show others with words and deeds.

All the best

Fascinating how you project other "christians" did not answer this thread before you posted, because of the fear of the reception you received from your arch nemesis Zandore.
(That SN in that sentence reminds me of some Sci-fi arch villain in a superman cartoon. "Superman and the wrath of Zandore!"

11. - (joke bonus question) PA & Zannie lol? - mortal enemies, grrrrr
LOL I didn't answer that one because I figured; "frustrated wannabe lovers in the closet" would be deleted. I've met married couples that don't spat like the two of you, over every little point.

ummm...they had abortions during that time? maybe it was jesus who was never born....well he was born but with the mother being a virgin o.O...im confused now..everytime i read that...it gets more confusing lol

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just answer the questions! (*Pelts Irish with ginger bread cookies shaped like the 10 commandments tablets and runs from the room!* Dont blame me, they were made in PA's kitchen! )

Besides the devil knows the scriptures better than I! .

Well, if you have the accent that goes with your SN, I certainly do sexy Gaelic man! (Saying that despite the image in your avatar, of course!:P Who is that btw?)
