'C' in the Bible Trivia Quiz

Answer: circumcise

God told Abraham to circumcise all the males of his household, including his slaves. From that point on all the males had to be circumcised at eight days old.

Answer: Caleb

God had told the Israelites to enter and conquer Canaan (pronounced Cā-năn). Moses sent twelve spies to spy out Canaan. Ten of the spies said that the people of Canaan were strong and they shouldn't enter. Caleb said, along with Joshua, that they should enter the land and God would give it to them.

The Israelites sided with the ten and refused to enter. God punished them by making them stay in the desert for another 40 years. He also killed the ten spies who had discouraged the people from entering Canaan. Reference: Numbers 13-14.

Answer: calf

After Moses came down from the mountain, he became rather upset and he punished the people in a rather unpleasant way. He ground the calf into powder, put it on top of the stream that flowed down the mountain, and made the people drink it. Yuk, right? References: Exodus 32:1-6, Exodus 32:19-20, Deuteronomy 9:21

Answer: covenant

According to 'The New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy,' a covenant is "an agreement between God and his people, in which God makes promises to his people and, usually, requires certain conduct from them." God made a covenant with Abraham in Genesis 17, promising the land of Canaan to Abraham's descendants and requiring circumcision for all of his household. Another example is God's covenant to Noah not to flood the world in Genesis 9. Some modern translations apparently see 'covenant' as being an obscure term and use instead words like 'promise' and 'agreement.'

Answer: charity

Chi (pronounced chē) is "the vital force believed in Taoism and other Chinese thought to be inherent in all things" (American Heritage Dictionary).

Answer: Caiaphas

The priests and teachers who worked in the temple had called a meeting in order to decide how they should deal with Jesus. Caiaphas, the high priest, advised that "it is to your advantage that one man should die for the people rather than the whole nation perish" (John 11:50 HCSB). John's account says that he did not say this on his own but rather he was prophesying that Jesus was going to die for the good of the scattered children of God. Reference: John 11:47-53
Cain was Adam's oldest son who killed his brother Abel.

Answer: Corinth

The Corinthian Christians were allowing a man in the church to be immoral, living with his dad's wife. They weren't even ashamed of it; in fact they were proud of it. In Paul's first letter to them (1 Corinthians) he was quite displeased about it and encouraged them to have the man removed and not associate with anyone who claimed to be Christian but was involved in seedy relationships. Reference: 1 Corinthians 5.
