Jokes With a Biblical Theme Trivia Quiz

Answer: David

David is the correct answer. He's the straightest of the four men because he was a 'ruler', having served as a king of Israel. The account of David becoming the king of Judah is found in the second chapter of 2 Samuel. The fifth chapter is devoted to details about David becoming king of all the tribes of Israel.

Answer: Samson

Samson is said to be the best actor in the Bible because he brought down the house.

The story of Samson and Delilah is one of the most colorful ones in the Old Testament. According to Scripture, his long hair was the secret to his strength and when his locks were cut by Delilah, he lost his power. However, with his hair partially grown back, Samson had his final hurrah in the 16th chapter of Judges as he used his remaining strength to get revenge against the Philistines who had taken him captive. While the Philistine rulers were offering "a great sacrifice" to Dagon, their god, it was decided to bring out Samson for "entertainment" purposes. A crucial mistake was made when Samson was placed by the pillars that supported the temple. Judges 16:30 states: "Samson said, 'Let me die with the Philistines!' Then he pushed with all his might, and down came the temple on the rulers and all the people in it. Thus he killed many more when he died than while he lived."

Answer: Moses

Answer: Joshua

Joshua is the correct answer. You see, according to Scripture, he was the son of 'Nun'.

Joshua, son of Nun, is mentioned numerous times in the Old Testament with the first mention being Exodus 33:11. He was one of the 12 spies sent by Moses to explore the land of Canaan and Scripture reports only Joshua and Caleb returned with promising reports, as per the 13th and 14th chapters of Numbers. However, little is known about his father Nun. According to Numbers 13:7, Nun was from the tribe of Ephraim.

Answer: Acts 3:6

The church's first financial statement is jokingly said to appear in Acts 3:6. It's in this passage in which Peter tells a lame beggar, "silver or gold I do not have..." The rest of the passage, in the NIV Bible, quotes Peter as saying: "...but what I do have I give you.

In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk." And sure enough, in verses 7 and 8, the lame man did just as Peter commanded. Verse 8 states: "He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God."

Answer: Hebrews

The correct answer is Hebrews, or for better clarity He Brews.

The author of the book of Hebrews is not known, but some theologians believe it was written by Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles. Others, however, strongly contest this view. The book appears just after the Philemon, the last of 13 books that are credited with being written by Paul.
