Question 1 of 10
1. During the time of Peter, a well thought-of woman who did many good deeds died in the city of Joppa, near what is modern-day Tel Aviv (Tel Abib). The apostle Peter was visiting the town of Lydda, which was not far away, and some of the disciples who were present in Joppa sent word asking Peter to come to the city.

When he arrived, he found women wailing and weeping as they showed him some of the coats and other clothing that she had made for the poor people of the area. Peter asked them all to leave the room where the body lay, and then, turning to her dead body, he commanded her to arise. According to the King James Version of the Bible, in Acts 9:36-42, by what name did he call her?
Hint

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. During the time of Peter, a well thought-of woman who did many good deeds died in the city of Joppa, near what is modern-day Tel Aviv (Tel Abib). The apostle Peter was visiting the town of Lydda, which was not far away, and some of the disciples who were present in Joppa sent word asking Peter to come to the city. When he arrived, he found women wailing and weeping as they showed him some of the coats and other clothing that she had made for the poor people of the area. Peter asked them all to leave the room where the body lay, and then, turning to her dead body, he commanded her to arise. According to the King James Version of the Bible, in Acts 9:36-42, by what name did he call her?

Answer: Tabitha

While Tabitha was the name that Peter uttered, she was also known by the name Dorcas.
(Rhoda, Phoebe and Lydia are also women mentioned in the New Testament.)

The name "Tabitha" translates roughly as "female gazelle", having as its root meaning "beautiful, glorious, goodly and pleasant". The name Dorcas means "gazelle", also, and the names were both quite appropriate because the scripture here states that she was "full of good works and alms deeds", which may be understood as her works of mercy towards others.

The passage closes with Peter telling her to arise, taking her by the hand as she sat up, then presenting her alive to the people that he had assembled together as witnesses.
2. There was once a saleslady mentioned in the New Testament. Her name was Lydia, and in the book of Acts we see that she worshipped God. She was on a sales trip when she encountered the apostle Paul, as she traveled from her home in Thyatira to Philippi. After hearing Paul preach, she was baptized and then invited him and other missionaries who were traveling with him to her home. What does Acts 16:13-15 in the King James Version say specifically that Lydia was a merchant of?

Answer: purple

Purple was a fairly rare and expensive commodity at that time. Only the very wealthy, such as Roman senators in their wearing of purple togas, or royalty, who wore purple robes, could afford it due to the intense labor required in producing fabrics and textiles of that color.

The dyes used to create this color of fabric came from the process of crushing a particular type of shellfish, found primarily in the Mediterranean regions. After these creatures were meticulously crushed by hand, the fabrics were prepared to set the dye into; again, a process done by hand. The juice was white while it was in the veins of the fish, but when it was exposed to the sun, the liquid changed into bright purple and red colors. It took a lot of work to catch enough shellfish to dye even one garment. Labor intensive as it was, this process caused the price of the finished product to be exorbitantly high.

The church at Thyatira is mentioned in the book of Revelation. John, the Revelator, had some particular issues to address to this church, along with the other six churches that he wrote to in the first three chapters.
3. In the very last chapter of the very last book in the Bible, we find a warning given by the author. The 18th and 19 verses of Revelation 22 mention some very specific penalties for people who either exclude or add onto the prophecies found in this book. What are the penalties that John speaks of?

Answer: additional plagues and loss of entry into the book of life as well as the holy city

To me, these verses are so important that rather than offer any commentary of my own, I will simply let them stand on their own right. Directly quoting from the King James Version of the Bible, they state the following:

"For I testify to every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things; God shall add unto him the plagues that are mentioned in this book; and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."
4. The apostle Paul wrote many of the books of the New Testament. He wrote some as letters to churches, some to pastors and some to other individuals. The young pastor, Timothy, was a man that Paul mentored, and in his second letter to Timothy, in Chapter 2 verse 3, (KJV) he instructs him to be like some particular thing or person when he faced hard times and difficult situations. What was this "something" that Paul was referring to?

Answer: a soldier

Paul tells Timothy to be "...as a good soldier of Jesus Christ."

I have been a soldier, myself, and can appreciate the hardships, endurance required and the lack of physical rest that may be demanded in order to fulfill a mission. Paul was alluding to all that and more, self-discipline included, in this letter to Timothy.

It may also be inferred from the passage that all Christians may have to endure adversity and face tough times in order that the gospel may be spread. Christians may be called upon to perform some not-so pleasant tasks, but passages like this one argue that they should still do them for the sake of the furtherance of God's Word and for the sake of their fellow man.
5. Those who work and labor for the sake of Christ have a promise given to them, according to Hebrews 4:1-10. According to the King James Version of the Bible, what does this promise consist of?

Answer: entering into Jesus' rest

Most Christians believe that this entire passage is devoted to the perfect rest that all believers have in Christ. An interesting point is made in verse 2, where a distinction is made between believers and non-believers.

Put plainly, it states that the gospel is preached to many, but those who reject the gospel of Christ receive no profit from hearing it, because they cannot receive it without mixing this message with their own faith.
6. According to Galatians 3: 13 and 14, in the King James Version of the Bible, how did Christ redeem all those who believe on Him, extending God's blessings to the Gentiles as well as to the Jews?

Answer: by being cursed for man's sake

The text indicates that He was cursed, with the phrase, "Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree." This is referenced from Deuteronomy in the Old Testament in 21:23 which says, in part, "His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; for he that is hanged is accursed of God..."

The Christian belief that Gentiles are now able to receive God's blessings, which were originally bestowed upon Abraham, through the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ is based partly on verse 14 of this passage of scripture. It says, in essence, that Gentiles can receive the Spirit of God by living in faith in Jesus Christ.
7. Many Christians believe that Jesus was crucified outside the city walls of Jerusalem, based on Hebrews 13:11-14. What in the King James Version of this scripture leads them to this conclusion?

Answer: this passage of scripture plainly states this to be true

Verse 11 makes reference back to the Old Testament practice of High Priest and the methods used by him on the annual Day of Atonement. The sanctification processes for the people followed his own sanctification, and the people's sins were put away for another year. This passage says that Christ, on the other hand, died once and for all for ALL sins of everyone.

Verse 12 states that Jesus "suffered without (outside) the gate", and in verse 13, readers are instructed to go to Him "without the camp." Since sin has no place in God's holy presence, this is a valid directive.

Christians believe that Christ, as mediator, has the ability to address the problem of sin, and offer forgiveness for it, yet He covers it with His blood so that the Father does not have to see it.
8. When did Jesus receive His name, Jesus? (Be very careful here; I am not asking when He was first called by that name, but rather, when He actually received the name, as recorded in the KJV Bible. Hint: Check out Luke 2:21.)

Answer: prior to his conception

Luke 2:21 says, "And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb."

I know that this was tricky, and possibly unnecessary "hair-splitting", but I wanted to bring out the point that God had already provided his name via the angel Gabriel BEFORE Jesus was even conceived in Mary's womb. Mary and Joseph both honored God's authority in naming His only begotten Son.
9. According to Romans 8:14 in the King James Version, how can people be certain that they are a member of God's family?

Answer: they are led by the Spirit of God

The verse says, "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God."

Many Christians believe that, until God's only begotten Son died and was resurrected, there was no family of God. They feel that it was only through Christ's resurrection that God was able to get what He had always desired: a family. Since Jesus is the firstborn from the dead, the reasoning goes, then all who follow in the born-again process through Him are part of God's family.

It would not necessarily be a correct assumption to say that all people are members of this family. While it IS true that all people and everything else is part of God's creation, some Christians feel that only those who are born again in Christ are actually "children" of God. If all CREATION was considered as His CHILDREN, then Lucifer himself would be eligible for status in the family.
10. According to 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 (King James Version), when the day of resurrection comes, who will be the first to be taken up to be with the Lord in the clouds?

Answer: the dead who are in Christ

Verse 16 of this passage puts it this way; "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: AND THE DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL RISE FIRST." (Emphasis mine)

While no time frame is mentioned, it may be that the rest of professing Christians may have to wait for a time for this event to occur, because the 14th verse ends with this statement; "...them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him." There is no time frame given between these two separate events, so speculation is pointless. It is sufficient to state that God's perfect timing does not equal that of man's concept of time.

I think that the point being made here is simply to be ready for Christ's second advent, or arrival.
