You found it! 1 Timothy 6:10 Says "the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil."  It's people's love of money that brings pangs of conscience, disillusionment, and barrenness, not money itself. You did good. That one wasn't for babies. babygrl.gif (3725 bytes)

You are half way through! Move on to #14.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No way, Jacob had a brother but the guy who said this was one of the first brothers. Back to #1.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yummy, but definitely wrong. Back to #11!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Luke 16:13 says "No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money." That's pretty clear you gotta chose who you're gonna serve. Go on to the last question #8.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Do this in remembrance of me"?! Walk on water in remembrance of me? When's the last time you remembered Jesus by water walking? Back to #4.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Where did you hear that???? Try #5 again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You lose. This is in the Big 10 big time. Back to #12 with you!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is from Proverbs 24:10. It's NOT in the Big 10. So you got it right! Go on to #5

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nada - as in "ain't me baby." Back to #10

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't think so. Back to #19

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

dance2.gif (7482 bytes)Adam and Eve is right - it happened in Genesis 1:28 God blessed them; and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth." Go on to #17 while you're hot!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

c. Cain is the right answer!You're a wiz. Go to #7 now!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Try again my friend! Back to #4.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

b. Sorry James isn't the one - give it another try.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Moses may have but the quote in the Bible is not from him. Try #5 again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

joy.gif (1495 bytes)This is good news. Micah joined Isaiah (Isaiah 2:1-4) in picturing God's kingdom of peace, contentment, and trust. The Messiah is the only One who can establish such a kingdom. See Isaiah 7; 9; 40; 49; 60; 65; Micah 5; Zechariah 10. Peace, not conflict, will be the rule of that time. Weapons of war will become unnecessary, for war will vanish from the earth! Security at home and faithfulness to God will be the order of the day. God calls His people to share and work toward His vision of peace. You got this one right. Go on to #9

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nope, but Jesus did say "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." You'll get it this time. Back.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry, that's a quote from Benjamin Franklin, not from the Bible. Return to #6.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's right. I bet you knew that three out of those four quotes are from Psalms. You're knocking this off like it was nothing! runner1.gif (2717 bytes) Go on to question #11 quick!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jesus is da one! You da monster Bible quizzer! Do #20 now. You're doing great and we are almost done!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Show off! You are doing soooo good! Go to #19 now!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry, Miriam is a good guess. Moses was her brother though - back to #1 and try again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, we are supposed to love even the strangest of neighbors. But that isn't John 3:16. Back.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Books of Prophecy is close - but this ain't horseshoes. Try once more! Back to #7.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not Daniel - you're looking for a New Testament man! Back to #18

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You got it. Just about done. Try question 6 now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's it, the heart of the Good News of Jesus. The most profound expression of the love of God for us is the gift of His only Son to be our Savior. The word translated love here is one of special significance, meaning a love that seeks to give itself away while seeking nothing for itself in return. Notice that verse 17 God did not send his Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it. states the priority of God's purpose to save before judgment or condemnation. For this reason God is declared to be love (1 John 4:8,16 check it out). Go on boldly to #4.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nope. Try again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cute but such a bad answer! Back now!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You didn't really think it was Adam and Steve did you? Back back back back!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wishful thinking but very wrong. God loves even the tax collector! Back to #20

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Righto, pip pip, good show! This is where the practice of "communion," the "Lord's Supper," comes from. On to #16.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Close but as they say, "No cigar!" Are you just dragging this last one out? Back to #8

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's it. Drop down to #10 now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes! Jesus is the answer - for the world today! Go to question 2.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nope, not Elijah. Elijah was a great prophet but the guy you're looking for is even greater! back to #18.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Books of Moses - the first five books is correctomundo! Go to #18.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

David and Goliath? Let's go for a girl and guy for this one! Back to #2

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

sheep.gif (2982 bytes)We got a winner on this one! Psalm 23:1 says "Because the Lord is my Shepherd, I have everything I need!" This psalm reveals the many ways that God shows His love and protecting power to those who need Him. The psalm expresses confidence that God will help even in the worst of circumstances, including death and evil (verse 4). God is the loving Shepherd. We are the sheep who face dangers and enemies. We can face life with confidence in God. Go confidently to #13.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No, that's Isaiah 40:11. Not a bad verse though. Try again. God wants you to get this message. Back to #9.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry, Charlie. Think sheep and try #15 again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Whoops. Try that once more - you've almost got this one. Back to #13

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So right you are. Actually they are all three found in the Bible. Go on to #3

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Peter - is right (Matthew 16:23). Then Jesus said to Peter, "Go away from me, Satan! You are not helping me! You don't care about the things of God. You care only about things that men think are important." Peter is sharply rebuked for aligning himself with Satan's plan to deter Jesus from fulfilling His mission. Go on to numero 12.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No. Remember these quotes are from the Bible. The Apostles Creed is not part of the Bible - just a good statement of what Christians believe. So I guess you know the right answer now! Back to #11.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The books of history came a bit later. You're looking for the books that contain the law - you know the "10 Commandments." Back to #7 and Try again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry my friend - the Psalms - are Songs and Poetry. Think about who brought the Law. You'll get it this time!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry. God is love, but He is also holy. The Bible says His eyes are to pure to look on evil or tolerate wrong (Habakkuk 1:13). Everybody isn't saved. Return to #14.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

muscnote.gif (1437 bytes) Oh, you can't get to heaven on roller skates (or your own works). "For ALL have sinned and FALL SHORT of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). Try #14 again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes! JESUS SAVES US through confession and faith! You got it right! You can move on to #15!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

dance5.gif (6484 bytes)YOU Got it! YOU did it! YOU are Incredible! Unbelievable! Did you time yourself? What? You Forgot? Didn't you read the directions? This is a timed test. You only have 20 minutes or you have to start over!

boysurpr.gif (7786 bytes)What? That wasn't in the directions? Oh.

Who's running this thing anyway? Oh, well. Tell a friend to try it and time them! Thanks for playing and learning together! Come again and send in topic suggestions. Hey, send in your friend's time! Bye!
