Thanks TK! It's a shame that the young people you worked with did so poorly on that test.

[Guest]

Indeed, Michelle. But it was a great learning tool. and i think it "shamed" them into wanting to learn more. even the pastor's daughter only scored 60%.

Mograce2u--

i am not usually nitpicky(and generally despise nitpickiness) but in this case i will have to make an exception, since i disagree with practically all of your corrections.

remember, this was a quiz for middle school (6th 7th 8th grade) students. i dont see where any of the answer choices were incorrect in toto, although it is possible that there are more choices that could be offered, etc. for e.g. the question about jacob and esau-- there is no doubt in my mind, and it seems clear, that Jacob tricked esau, pure and simple. he put goat's hair on his arms so that isaac would convey esau's birthright to him. and jacob (and his mother) knew what he was doing in making the stew good and ready for when esau returned starving from the hunt.

in regard to the last question regarding angels, the KJV no where states that angels sing. so, technically, per the KJV, answer (b) is correct. of course the students, who had other translations, begged to differ (good for them!). the choice "half of the angels became demons" was intended as an incorrect choice, not a correct choice.

Hi TK,
Yes being nitpicky about unimportant things is a bit annoying. But I assumed we are looking at a quiz that was used to test their knowledge of scripture and to provoke their understanding?

Unless you were merely presenting an exercise in bible trivia to amuse them? But if instead this was to be a teaching tool, then it is not being nitpicky to strive for accuracy. Like eg. the story of Jacob and Esau.

[Guest]

i agree with you that accuracy is important, but there is nothing inaccurate about the answers as written:

#5: Satan DOES believe what's in the Bible ("the demons believe, and tremble")

#10: Abraham WAS the father of the Jewish nation. it's the best answer of the choices presented.

#14: God DID provide a ram as a substitution. sure, Abraham heard a voice tell him to stop, but the ram took Isaac's place

#17: jacob DID trick esau

#21: your choice "e" is exactly the same, but worded differently, as choice "c"

#57: answer "a" captures the point of the story

#59: answer "c" is correct: "you of little faith, why did you doubt?"

#69: answer "b" was correct as written. Jesus DID tell them to do this. he told them other things as well, but compared with the other choices "b" is correct

#78: your suugested addition is the same as choice "c" but simply stated differently

#83: the point of the question is that NONE of the choices are definite evidence. i did not intend to put a "correct" answer. "love for the brethren" is not proof, either. radical muslims love their brethren

#86: i explained this in my last post. the question should not have been included, due to differing bible translations.

TK

[Guest]

i agree with you that accuracy is important, but there is nothing inaccurate about the answers as written:

#5: Satan DOES believe what's in the Bible ("the demons believe, and tremble")

(James 2:19 KJV) Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

Nothing about believing the bible there.

#10: Abraham WAS the father of the Jewish nation. it's the best answer of the choices presented.

(Gen 17:5 KJV) Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.

But this is the promise he was given of which Israel was only one.

#14: God DID provide a ram as a substitution. sure, Abraham heard a voice tell him to stop, but the ram took Isaac's place

But you asked HOW God stopped him.

#17: jacob DID trick esau

This could be worth another thread; however the lesson to be learned here
is not that Jacob tricked him, but that Jacob and his mother sought the promise and the blessing (the evidence of their faith), knowing Isaac was going to give it to Esau because he favored him. Isaac should have remembered what God had said and they would not have had to "trick" him.

#21: your choice "e" is exactly the same, but worded differently, as choice "c"
c) Sometimes God allows bad things to happen for good reasons

(Gen 50:20 KJV) But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.

#57: answer "a" captures the point of the story

a) Sinners have worth and value to God

The parable is a about a lost sheep. Do you consider sinners children of God? God cares about His children and does everything to keep them close to Him.

#59: answer "c" is correct: "you of little faith, why did you doubt?"

You asked WHY Peter began to sink - it was because of fear. Jesus identifies that his fear and doubt showed he was weak in faith.

#69: answer "b" was correct as written. Jesus DID tell them to do this. he told them other things as well, but compared with the other choices "b" is correct

I suppose if you used the scripture this would not have been an objection. Since we are called to make disciples and this is what the
purpose of your quiz appears to be for, it seemed good to me to mention it.

#78: your suugested addition is the same as choice "c" but simply stated differently

So are we teaching how to write their own paraphrase of scripture? The only way one can know "God's way" is thru His word - that is what must be believed. It is the only way one can know what sin is and what God says about it.

#83: the point of the question is that NONE of the choices are definite evidence. i did not intend to put a "correct" answer. "love for the brethren" is not proof, either. radical muslims love their brethren.

Do they? They have received the love of God into their hearts? You left it as if there was no conclusive proof whereby one could know his faith was genuine. Yet John gave us several in his 1st epistle.

(1 John 2:3 KJV) And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

(1 John 2:5 KJV) But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

(1 John 2:6 KJV) He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

I'll let you look up the others.

#86: i explained this in my last post. the question should not have been included, due to differing bible translations.

It just seemed that if you were going to list some choices to contrast what is commonly held as truth but is not, that something actually stated in scripture would be a good choice to add.

Anyway, I thought the quiz was a good way to go. Do you have any more?
