4. Acts 5:1-11 tells of Ananias and his wife Sapphira selling land they owned and then being struck dead after they falsely claimed they had donated all the proceeds to the early church. What was the name of the disciple who heard the lies of Ananias and Sapphira?

Answer: Peter

Peter, one of the original Twelve Disciples, is the correct answer. According to Acts 5:1-11 Ananias and his wife Sapphira sold land they owned and then claimed to Peter they had donated all the proceeds to the early church. Because Anaias and Sapphira lied about the matter, they were both struck dead in a case of divine retribution.

The passage concludes by stating "great fear came upon all the church".

5. According to Joshua 2:2, what was the name of the Canaanite woman who owned a house and hid two Israelite spies?

Answer: Rahab

Joshua 2:1-24 tells of Rahab, a prostitute in Jericho, hiding in her house two Israelite men who were commissioned by Joshua to spy out the city. Authorities caught wind about the spies visiting Rahab's house and when they visited her she said the two men had left some time ago. In fact, she had hidden the two men beneath stalks of flax on her roof. After the authorities left, Scripture tells of Rahab letting down a scarlet cord from the window of her house, enabling the spies to escape. Verse 15 states her house was on the city wall.

Rahab was told to leave the scarlet cord in her window and when the Israelites invaded, the cord was a sign that everyone in her house was to be spared.

Acts 4:34-35 tells of no one lacking "for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, and laid them at the apostles' feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need."

Meanwhile, Verses 36-37 tell of Barnabas, a worker in the early church from Cyprus, selling land and giving it to the apostles. Barnabas was originally known as Joses, but he was given the nickname Barnabas because he was always encouraging others.

8. There are more than four hundred and fifty words that can be created exclusively on the left side of your computer keyboard. Only one of the following left-hand words can be found in the Bible using the KJV, NKJV and the NIV. What word is it?

Answer: Arab

The word 'Arab' appears in the Bible, using the KJV, NKJV and the NIV. However, using the three Bible versions, the words 'faxes', 'zebra' and 'eggbeater' cannot be found.
