Bible Quiz
I gave a quiz to my Bible study group this past week. The purpose of that quiz was to challenge things that are often heard in the church and are considered Biblically based, but are in fact not in the Bible. I also wanted to use this to expand our knowledge on facts about and in the Bible. I thought I’d share that quiz on my blog. We had some good discussions on these items and I’m hoping for a bit here as well. Answers and Biblical references will be posted in the comments tomorrow. Good luck and enjoy!

13 out of 20 would count as most. look it up, i’m sure it’s in a math book some where.

Lol, and you also said “if not all.” I looked up “all” and 13 out of 20 doesn’t fall under that definition.
How’d you do on it?
