Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the name of the man who was one of the original Twelve Disciples and refused to believe reports about the resurrection of Christ?

Answer: Thomas

Thomas, of course, is the correct answer. Despite the fact others told him they had seen Christ resurrected from the dead, Thomas stubbornly refused to believe the reports. In fact, Thomas is quoted as saying he would not believe reports about the resurrection until he could place his hand in Christ's side and his fingers in His hands to examine His crucifixion woulds.

John 20:24-29 tells of Thomas no longer being a skeptic when the resurrected Christ appeared before him and the other disciples who were meeting in a locked room.

To put the verse in context, here's how Galatians 5:13-15 reads in the NKJV: "For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!"

The missing word from Ezekiel 41:6 in the NKJV is 'ledges'. The verse is part of a passage giving detailed specifics about a vision Ezekiel had in regards to a temple. While the geographic location is not specified, it is believed the location of the temple was Jerusalem.

Geshem, Sanballat and Tobiah were vehement opponents of Nehemiah's plan to construct a wall around Jerusalem.

However, not much is known about Geshem, going by Scripture. Nehemiah 2:19 states he was an Arab while his allies Sanballat was a Horonite and Tobiah an Ammonite. Despite the strong opposition, Scripture states Nehemiah and the Israelites were highly successful in building the wall around Jerusalem.
