1. In Isaiah 7:14 the Lord gave a sign to David's house: "The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son." What name did Isaiah say the son would be given? [Mt 1:23]

From Quiz Bible Verses Connecting Isaiah To the Gospels

Answer: Immanuel

The name Immanuel, in Hebrew, means "God with us". The Isaiah verse is stated in Matthew 1:23 where Joseph is told in a dream that Mary, his betrothed, was pregnant with the son of God. In the same dream, the angel tells Joseph to name his son Jesus as He would save people from their sin. Interestingly, the original Hebrew has Jesus' name as Y'shua being often translated as Joshua.

From Quiz The Word of God

Answer: John 1:1

Genesis 1:1, of course, states that "In the beginning" God created the heavens and the earth. John 1:1 is an allusion to Genesis 1:1. In John 1:1, the writer makes a grand claim about Jesus Christ: that before He was born to the virgin Mary, He was God. In verse 3, John 1 goes on to say that Jesus created everything--therefore connecting Him even more to the God of Genesis 1. But John doesn't even just say that Jesus was God. He calls Jesus "the Word" who was "with God"--what's that about? How can the Word be with God and be God at the same time? I strongly believe that the doctrine of the Trinity answers this question. The second member of the Trinity, the Word/Son, was with the first member, the Father, but He was also God. The word "God" is often used as a title for the Father in the New Testament, but it does sometimes refer to the Son and the Holy Spirit (the Spirit of God) as well. All three are technically God. It just so happens that nobody really says "the Father of God" like they say "the Word of God" or "the Spirit of God". It seems like the Father is called either "the Father" or simply "God". Unless someone understands this, some verses that speak of "God" and Jesus might be confusing. Based upon both research and my own Bible studying, I believe Jesus is "the Word of God" because He serves as the Father's Messenger. For whatever reason, the Father rarely ever directly speaks to people. He indirectly speaks through Jesus and He created the world through Jesus, too.

From Quiz People Who Were Questioned by God

Answer: Adam

Adam was asked the question by God, as per Genesis 3:11. The question was asked after Adam and his wife Eve had eaten forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. According to Scripture, Adam and Eve became embarrassed they were naked after eating the fruit and as a result hid from God. Scripture tells of God walking in the Garden of Eden and when He didn't see Adam and Eve, He asked Adam, "Where are you?" In response, Adam said, "I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself." God then asked Adam who told him he was naked and then inquired if he had eaten forbidden fruit from the tree. For the record, the first question by God in Scripture is found in Genesis 3:9 in which God asks about Adam's whereabouts.

From Quiz Bible or Not

Answer: Bible

This is from Ecclesiastes 7:8. Ecclesiastes is a book of the Old Testament. Its writer describes himself as descended from a "king in Jerusalem" and uses an autobiographical format to expound on the meaning of a well-lived life. The quoted passage is not only a caution against rash action or premature judgment, but a reminder that one's good name takes a lifetime to create and maintain.

From Quiz The Bible 24:7

Answer: My people, their God

In Jeremiah chapter 24 Jeremiah has a vision in which he sees two baskets of figs: one of good quality and one of poor quality. God tells Jeremiah that he (God) sees the exiles who have gone from Judah to Babylon as the good figs. He says that he will watch over them and will bring them back and establish them once again in the land of Israel. In verse 7 he says, "I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me with all their heart." (NIV) God then goes on to explain that the bad figs in the vision are a picture of Judah's exiled King Zedekiah, his officials and those who went with them from Jerusalem. The Babylonians had appointed Zedekiah king of Judah after its legitimate king Jehoiachin (Zedekiah's nephew) had been exiled. Zedekiah was an evil king who refused to listen to God's messages to him through Jeremiah and also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, in spite of the fact that he had taken an oath of loyalty to his Babylonian master.

From Quiz My Word -- Common Sayings from the Bible -- #2

Answer: Paul

'Fight the good fight', a common saying in today's English, comes from Paul's letter to Timothy. The term appears in 1 Timothy 1:18 and 1 Timothy 6:12. And in 2 Timothy 4:7, Paul states he has 'fought the good fight'. Many theologians believe Paul wrote 2 Timothy just prior to his execution. In other words, the apostle to the Gentiles was correct in suggesting his fight had come to an end.

From Quiz Best Loved Bible Verses

Answer: Job

These powerful words were said by Job during the first assault of Satan upon him (Job 1:21). At first, Job proved to have great faith and a strong foundation of trust in God. Soon, however, as Job's suffering continued, he started to complain to his friends and doubt God's kindness. By the end of this ancient book of the Bible, Job's commitment to God was restored. I love the powerful truth that this verse expresses - Job says we enter and leave this world with nothing, and all is dependent on God. Contributed by star_gazer.

From Quiz The Angel Did Say

Answer: Hagar

Genesis 21:17,18 - Hagar had been thrown out of her house along with her son by her mistress, Sarah. When the two of them had finished all the bread and water that they had, Hagar laid her son under a shrub and sat some way off, unable to see her child die. It was then that an angel appeared and showed her a well to quench their thirst, saving them from death. Earlier Hagar had run away from Sarah's house when she was pregnant with Abraham's child. At that time too an angel had appeared to her and told her to return to her mistress. The angel had foretold the birth of a son to her whom she was to name Ishmael.

From Quiz It's All In The Words

Answer: Ask what I shall give thee.

"In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee." A few verses later we see what Solomon asked God for, in verse 9. "Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?" Verses 11-13 record God's response to Solomon's request - "And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days."

Answer: Not

This is from J.R.R. Tolkien, "The Fellowship of the Ring," Book 2, Chapter VI. The passage in question is spoken by Haldir, a Silvan Elf who guides the Fellowship through the Lothlorien Forest on their way to the city of Caras Galadhon. Although he is not seen again in the Tolkien book after guiding the party, Haldir plays more of a role in the film version, where, after his service as guide, he leads a company of elves and is killed in the Battle of Helm's Deep.

From Quiz Words In Red

Answer: A shortage of wine

'On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no more wine." "Woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied. "My hour has not yet come."' (John 4:1-4 (NIV)). There are many theological opinions on what this exchange between Jesus and his mother can teach us but Mary's response may be the best lesson. '"His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."' (John 4:5).

From Quiz Which Translation Is This?

Answer: New Life Version (NLV)

The correct answer is New Life Version (NLV): "So the Lord Himself will give you a special thing to see: A young woman, who has never had a man, will give birth to a son. She will give Him the name Immanuel." HOWEVER! Look at how similar these other translations are: NLT: "All right then, the Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel (which means 'God is with us')." NASB: "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel." NKJV: "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel."

Answer: 1 Peter

Third and fourth Peter don't exist. This quote, found in the New Testament, is from "The First Epistle General of Peter" 4:8. It can be applied to almost any situation in life. It could also be likened to acceptance of one another's faults - as well as Christ's sacrifice on the cross. Remember, the Bible operates on more than one level. It has face value, personal revelation, biblical and historical reference, and deep mystical value as well. Seek and ye shall find.

From Quiz The Bible 24:7

Answer: Gates and doors

"Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in." (KJV) The gates of the city were originally made in the form of a portcullis, much as the gates of the castles in the feudal ages were. These were not intended to be swung open from side to side like a door today, but instead were to be "lifted up" by weights and pulleys. These could be suddenly let down to prevent an enemy from entering. It would be difficult to close them without possibly allowing the enemy to force their way in if they were made to open as doors are made today. Thus the "heads" of the gates would be at the top, perhaps even ornately decorated, and the command was that these should be elevated to admit the ark of God to pass through. Since Christians believe that Jesus is the first-born Son of God, then this "King of Glory" may be considered Jesus Christ Himself. Question contributed by logcrawler.

Answer: Paul

Paul used the words 'a man after my own heart." According to Scripture, he used the term in reference to King David, the second king of Israel. In this incident, Paul is saying God viewed David as a man after His own heart. The passage, in part, in the NIV Bible states: "He made David their king.

Answer: Eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

In Romans 6:23, Paul states the gift of God is "eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord". For many Christians, this is one of the most important verses in the New Testament. Notes in the NIV Study Bible states two kinds of servitude are contrasted in the passage. "One brings death as its wages; the other results in eternal life, not as wages earned or merited, but as a gift of God." Many Christians believe that gift was only made possible by Jesus dying on the cross and rising from the dead.

From Quiz My Word -- Common Sayings from the Bible

Answer: Cain

The question "am I my brother's keeper?" was asked by Cain when Scripture says the Lord wanted to know the whereabouts of Abel. Cain's statement is often used to reflect the view no one should be responsible for the welfare of others. However, the statement has also been turned around and has given birth to the term 'my brother's keeper'. The term 'my brother's keeper' has been incorporated into everything from the title of a movie to a Christian organization involved in helping the impoverished.
