"Never" in the Bible Trivia Quiz

Answer: the poor

Deuteronomy 15:11 says, "For the poor shall Never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land."

In the New Testament in Matthew 26:11, Mark 14:7, and John 12:8 Jesus tells his disciples that there will always be poor people among them as well.

Answer: Samson

Judges 16:11 says, "And he said unto her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were occupied, then shall I be weak, and be as another man."

Samson was talking to Delilah whose job it was to weaken him so he could be defeated. Samson however had fallen in love with Delilah and eventually told her the truth, that his strength was in his hair.

Answer: Micaiah

II Chronicles 18:7 says, "And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he never prophesied good unto me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so."

Micaiah is the son of Imlah (spelled Imla in the KJV). His name means "Who is like Yah?" Yah is the shortened form of Yahweh or YHWH, the name that the Hebrews used for God.

Answer: He will never see it.

It says in Psalm 10:11, "He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it."

If you go back a few verses you will see the "he" refers to the wicked. There is a few verses about what the wicked says or does, for example Psalm 10:7 says "His mouth is full of cursing".

Answer: confusion

It says in Psalm 71:1, "In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion."

It is most likely that David wrote this psalm as there are connections with this psalm and the one before it, which David did write.

Answer: thy precepts

It says in Psalm 119:93, "I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me."

Precepts are rules that are made for the purpose of controlling behavior or thought.

Answer: Hell and destruction are never full.

It says in Proverbs 27:20, "Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied."

When people aren't satisfied they often become jealous of others. Jealousy can be a very dangerous thing as people have been killed because someone wanted what they had.

Answer: I never knew you.

It says in Matthew 7:23, "And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

I used to think this meant that one can never be sure they are going to Heaven. However, what it means according to many Christians is that many people will claim to be Christians, but really are not.

Answer: that he'd never be offended by Jesus

It says in Matthew 26:33, "Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended."

It is then that Jesus tells him that before the cock crows, Peter will deny him three times. Peter does not believe this and protests, but in the end he does end up denying three different times that he knew Jesus. This caused Peter to feel really bad.

Answer: where yet never man sat

It says in Luke 19:30, "Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither."

After Jesus got his colt, he made his triumphant entry into Jerusalem where the people were all yelling praises at him. It wouldn't be much longer before the people were yelling "Crucify Him!"
