Bible/Theology Quiz Thread

[Ackbach]

The purpose of this thread is to pose fun challenge questions about the Bible or theology that are not terribly deep, and do not provoke debate. Simple assertions, for example, easily backed up by a pretty direct verse, should be the answer to these questions.

Here's the starter question:

Who raised Jesus Christ from the dead?

 

[MarkFL]

God raised Jesus from the dead:

Acts 2:23-24

Who, upon hearing that he must be born again to see the kingdom of God, asked how someone could enter their mother's womb again to be reborn?

 

[Ackbach]

Little bit more specific: which member of the Trinity?

 

[MarkFL]

Little bit more specific: which member of the Trinity?

Gal 1:1 would indicate that it was God the Father who raised Jesus from the dead. However, John 2:19 states that Jesus raised Himself up from death, while Rom. 8:11 could be taken to mean the Holy Spirit raised Jesus from the dead. I would conclude then that the resurrection of Jesus should be attributed to God as a whole.

 

[Ackbach]

Romans 8:11 doesn't actually say the Spirit raised Jesus from the dead. The "who raised Jesus from the dead" clause modifies "him", not "Spirit".
As for John 2:19, that's better support, but I think the balance of other Scriptures indicate that it's the Father. Just as the Father eternally generates the Son, so the Father raised Jesus Christ from the dead.

Here's the next quiz question: how many of the daughters of Zelophahad can you name from memory?

Hmm, moving on to the next question: what, if any, relationship was there between Bathsheba and Ahithophel? (Warning: partially speculative.)

 

[Lamb]

There were two men in the OT by that name and I'm going to assume you mean the one in 2 Kings who was possibly either Bathsheba's father or grandfather. It's not specifically stated.

I meant David's counselor, who conspired against him. Grandfather is (possibly) correct!

Here's the next quiz question: in what book of the Bible does the author write, "To everything there is a time..."? (No googling allowed - in fact, I think this needs to be a general rule for this thread.)

You shall not surely die...

Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
