Love Can Be Found Online Trivia Quiz

Answer: Solomon

Solomon was known as the wisest man in the Bible. He had prayed to God asking for wisdom and understanding, and God blessed him with those two things, as well as with riches. Solomon was also known as having 700 wives and concubines. Read all about him in 1 Kings.

Answer: Mary

Christians believe that Mary was the woman that God chose to give birth to his son. He placed Jesus into Mary's womb, so she was still a virgin when she was pregnant with Jesus. At the time, her husband Joseph was furious, because he had a tough time believing that she was still a virgin and pregnant. Eventually, however, he came to see that this was God's doing, and he and his family lived a happy life together.

The Gospels of Matthew and Luke tell of Mary's pregnancy and Jesus' birth.

Answer: Jacob

Jacob, a major figure in the Book of Genesis, told Laban that he would work for him for seven years in order to wed Rachel. However, Laban tricked Jacob and gave him his older daughter Leah for the work instead. Therefore, Jacob had to work another seven years in order to get Rachel. It is interesting to know that Jacob was probably given Leah from the beginning, but still had to work seven years. At the end of the seven years, Laban gave him Rachel, and THEN he worked another seven years. He was probably already married to Rachel while he worked for Laban another seven years.

This means that, though he worked for 14 years for Laban, he actually only worked seven before he married Rachel.

Answer: Adam

Adam was the first man in the Bible. God gave him life by breathing into his nose. Then Adam was lonely, noticing that all the animals had a mate. So God created for him a woman using Adam's rib. It is interesting to know that it was in Genesis 2:18-23 that woman was created. However, it wasn't until Genesis 3:20 that the woman was actually named.

"After this Adam called his wife's name Eve, because she had to become the mother of everyone living." This was after Eve had eaten from the fruit of the tree. Though it never mentions specifically if Eve had a name before this, this was actually the first mention of her name: after she sinned and became imperfect.

Before naming her "Eve", Adam did indeed call her "woman".

Answer: Lot

Lot was told by God to take his family and flee from Sodom and Gomorrah, because it was going to be destroyed. He also told his family not to look back. However, Lot's wife, who is unnamed in the Bible, turned back, and was thus turned into a pillar of salt (Genesis 19).

The Bible does not say whether or not Lot remarried after his wife turned into salt.

Answer: Cain

Cain was one of Adam's sons in the Book of Genesis. When he and Abel both gave offerings to God, Abel gave his finest and fattiest rams to God, and was looked upon with favor. Cain became jealous that God liked Abel's gift better, possibly because Cain only gave some of his crops that weren't of highest quality. He was doing it because he was supposed to, not because he loved God. Cain became so jealous that he killed his brother Abel.

When Cain married, he, of course, married his sisters (there were no other families to marry into).

Answer: Sarah

In Genesis, Abram and Sarai left their city to live in the wilderness in tents, and though it was Abram's decision, Sarai supported it. Later on in life, God had their names changed to Abraham and Sarah. Sarah was barren until she was 90 years old and Abraham was 100. It was then that Sarah gave birth to Isaac.

Answer: Samson

Samson, whose story is in the Book of Judges, was known for being extremely strong, which was given to him through his hair. He was supposed to never cut it, but Delilah turned against him and cut his hair so he would lose his strength.

Samson had been strong enough to kill both a lion and a bear with his bare hands.

Answer: Job

Job, whose tale is told in the Book of Job, was once a very wealthy and healthy man, until the devil decided to take everything away from him to see if he would stay faithful to God. His livestock all died, as did all his children. His three best friends went against Job, as did his wife, who even told him to curse God. Job stayed faithful, though, sick and alone, and was rewarded in the end with even more than he had before.

Answer: David

David had some serious sins in his lifetime, as told in 1 and 2 Samuel, but he was still very well loved in God's eyes. He had repented and God forgave him. Later in life, in his old age, he wanted a young woman to keep him warm at night (1 Kings 1).

In fact, he had even said "bring her to me". Before he was king, David played the harp for Saul, because it calmed him (until, of course, Saul got so jealous of David that he tried to kill him instead).
