Re: Bible Trivia Anyone?

God's people have their trials. It was never designed by God, when he chose His people, that they should be an untried people. They were chosen in the furnace of affliction; they were never chosen to worldly peace and earthly joy. Freedom from sickness and the pains of mortality was never promised to them; but when their Lord drew up the charter of privileges, He included chastisements amongst the things to which they should inevitably be heirs. Trials are a part of our lot; they were predestinated for us in God's solemn decrees, and bequeathed us in Christ's last legacy. So surely as the stars are fashioned by His hands, and their orbits fixed by Him, so surely are our trials allotted to us: He has ordained their season and their place, their intensity and the effect they shall have upon us. Good men must never expect to escape troubles; if they do, they will be disappointed, for none of their predecessors have been without them. Mark the patience of Job; remember Abraham, for he had his trials , and by his faith under them, he became the 'Father of the faithful'. Note well the biographies of all the patriarchs, prophets, apostles, matyrs, and you shall discover none of those whom God made vessels of mercy, who were not made to pass through the fire of affliction. It is ordained of old that the cross of trouble should be engraven on every vessel of mercy, as the royal mark whereby the King's vessels of honor are distinguished. But although tribulation is thus the path of God's children, they have the comfort of knowing that their Master has traversed it before them; they have His presence and sympathy to cheer them, His grace to support them, and His example to teach them how to endure; and when they reach 'the kingdom' it will more than make amends for the 'much tribulation' through which they passed to enter it.

Nice work! (Acts 27:1-3)

Staying in/on the book of Acts:

Question: The Acts of the Apostles is regarded as one of the 'incomplete' books of the Bible. Why is this so?

Who was Bathsheba's grandfather? He was also one of David's mighty men.

Re: Bible Trivia Anyone?

Honestly CEW, can't you come up with a question such as, how many books are in the Bible?

I'm going go out on a fragile limb with this one. Acts gives us an account of the origins of Christianity and the beginning of the Church and the spreading of the gospel. Therefore, (I'm reaching here)since we are to continue to spread the gospel and continue to grow the Church....oh I give up.o/

Actually, you are correct. The limb held up

Regarding the question: "Who had an occupation as a tentmaker?", sorry, I just noticed this, but they both were tentmakers (Acts 18:1-3)

Ahithophel [/qb]

I'm impressed Compry! And because he was and considering what David did to his grand daughter as well as a fellow "mighty man" (Uriah the Hittite), this might explain why he turned against David and sided with David's rebellious son, Absalom as an advisor. He was once David's most trusted advisors and one of his advices to Absalom was to have sex with all of David's women on a rooftop in broad daylight. "Rooftop?" "Sex?" Ring a bell?

You are kidding me. That was a guess, CEW.

Portmore, that's way too easy [img]/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Still in Acts:

Question: He was a preacher who was baptised unto John's baptism, and so had to be taught the way of the Lord in greater detail. Who was he?
