Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The Bible tells us that God loves us all so much; what other gods are we also allowed to have?

Answer: None

As God cares about us alone, so must we care about him alone. This is the First Commandment. All other gods are fake and will only hurt us.

We can read about God's great love for us throughout the Bible.

Question by star_gazer

2. What is the Second Commandment?

Answer: Don't worship idols

The First and Second commandments are a lot alike. They both say that no matter what happens or whatever your friends say or do, you should never worship anyone or anything other than God.

Question by J-Zilch (Jimmy)

3. "You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain." Exodus 20:7 This is the Third Commandment. What does it mean to take God's name in vain?

Answer: Use God's name disrespectfully

Sometimes people say mean and ugly things about others. Such as, "Tommy is stupid" or "Mary is selfish". Just as we don't like it when people speak about us in a disrespectful way, God doesn't like it when we say unkind things about him.

Question by wordwalker

4. In the Fourth Commandment, God tells people to do something special on the sabbath (seventh) day. What did he tell them to do?

Answer: Keep the sabbath day holy

The Bible says that God made the heavens and the earth in six days and on the seventh day he rested and made that day a special day to worship him and to rest from all our work.

You can read about that in Genesis, the very first book of the Bible.

Question by wordwalker

5. The Fifth Commandment instructs children to honor their father and mother. How do you do honor your parents?

Answer: All of these.

Children can show honor to their parents in a variety of ways, including by doing as they are told, not disagreeing with them, and not shouting at them. Generally, being obedient is the best way to honor your parents.

Some older children show their parents obedience by doing chores such as cutting the grass in the summer and shoveling snow in the winter.

Question by Cowrofl

Answer: All of these things.

In the book of Matthew in the New Testament, Jesus said that along with actually killing, unless it was in protecting yourself or another, that being angry without a reason to be, or calling someone names is just as bad. If we call someone "stupid" (The Bible word is "raca"), or if we hurt people's feelings on purpose, or if we don't forgive others like God forgave us, our actions offend God.

Question by Dean

7. The definition of the word adultery means "to alter" or "to corrupt". One of the Ten Commandments warns people to avoid committing adultery. Why would God care about this?

Answer: He wanted everyone to be true to their husband or wife.

The Bible says that God has a plan for families, and that plan involves parents remaining loyal to each other, much as God wants His people to be loyal to Him; in love.

Question by logcrawler

8. The Eighth Commandment tells us not to steal; what is the major reason that it is bad to steal?

Answer: It takes terrible advantage of those who you steal from.

I believe that God provides each person with things to call their own. Someone who steals unfairly takes from a person what God has so kindly provided them. Stealing hurts innocent people and angers God.

Question by star_gazer

The Ninth Commandment, "You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor," means that we should not tell lies about one another.

Question by Donna39

10. The Tenth Commandment instructs us not to covet. What does it mean to covet?

Answer: To jealously want something that belongs to someone else

Covet means to jealously desire something that belongs to other people. God says that we should not desire our neighbor's wife (or husband), servants, or animals. This also includes things like toys, games, or houses.
