From Quiz Biblical Bad Girls

Answer: Each of the options listed here

The Bible is the story of what it calls God's chosen people. Adam and Eve were the first. They lived in the Garden of Eden where God said to them, "You must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat it you will surely die" (Genesis 3, ESV). Satan was in the garden, in the form of a serpent. He put doubt about the truth of what God had said into Eve's mind and tempted her to disobey God. In turn she gave some fruit to Adam, so he too ate of it and disobeyed God. They were both expelled from the garden and had to live out their lives struggling to survive like everybody else. They may have repented later, but the Bible does not say.

From Quiz They Broke the Ten Commandments

Answer: Nebuchadnezzar

The three men in question were Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, all of whom were friends of the prophet Daniel (as in the one who got thrown into the lions' den). The Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar had a massive gold statue built, and commanded the people to worship it. The three Jews refused to join in, despite Nebuchadnezzar's threats, so the king ordered a furnace to be heated until it was seven times hotter than usual, and for Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego to be burned to death in it. The guards who took the men into the furnace were burned to death themselves, but Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego all survived, with not the slightest burn or singe mark on them. There was also a fourth man spotted inside the furnace, who was actually an angel sent by G-d to protect the men. Nebuchadnezzar was so impressed at G-d's power that he ordered for anyone who disrespected G-d to be executed.

From Quiz Some Influential People of the Bible

Answer: Abraham and Sarah

Even though Abraham and Sarah only had one son, they had at least 13 great-grandchildren: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dinah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin (Gen 34:1,35:23-26). Over the next 400 years, Abraham and Sarah would become the "parents" of six thousand men, not including women and children. Through their only son, Abraham and Sarah left a large footprint upon the Israelite history. In the New Testament, God is known as "the God of Abraham" by the Jews.

From Quiz A Quick Look at Queens and Women with Power

Answer: Vashti

Vashti was deposed as queen after she refused a request of Ahasuerus, king of Persia, to parade before a gathering of officials to show her beauty. According to Esther 1:10-12, "the heart of the king was merry with wine" when he requested Vashti to appear before the officials he was entertaining. Vashti, however, refused to fulfill the king's request with Scripture stating he "was furious, and his anger burned within him." Shortly afterwards, Vashti would be deposed as queen. After this incident, there is no further mention of Vashti in Scripture. There are different interpretations of the account pertaining to Vashti, but some scholars believe she refused the king's request because he wanted her to appear naked before the gathering, wearing only her crown. Esther 1:11 simply states the king requested Esther to make the appearance "wearing her royal crown, in order to show her beauty to the people and the officials, for she was beautiful to behold." One thing is certain, however. Vashti was not afraid to take a stand regardless of the consequences. According to Wikipedia, Harriet Beecher Stowe called Vashti's disobedience the "first stand for woman's rights."

From Quiz The Ultimate Bible Women Quiz!

Answer: Hagar

Sarah had been married to Abraham for many years, but she never had children, because she was barren. One day, she asked Abraham to have a child with her maid, Hagar, but Sarah quickly regretted that choice. It appears that Hagar became proud after she conceived, so she began to disrespect Sarah. In turn, Sarah began to treat Hagar cruelly, so Hagar ran away into the desert. The Angel of the Lord appeared to Hagar and commanded her to return to her mistress and to submit to Sarah's authority. The Angel of the Lord was a figure who only appeared in the Old Testament. He was like the Lord Himself appearing in the form of a man. Many Christians believe that He was the pre-incarnate Jesus. "Pre-incarnate" means that Jesus existed before His earthly birth to His mother.

From Quiz Big Time Baddies

Answer: Serpent

The serpent told Eve that if she ate of the fruit from the tree in the midst of the garden, she would be like God and would know good from evil. Seeing that the fruit from this tree would make her wise, Eve ate and encouraged Adam to do so as well, thus condemning mankind to a life outside of the Garden of Eden. When questioned by God, Adam points the finger at Eve, who in turn blames the serpent. Eve has long been blamed for getting us thrown out of the garden, but in Genesis 2:16-17, God tells Adam, not Eve, that he should not eat the fruit. I say it's all Adam's fault.
