    In Christian theology, Jesus Christ, God the Son, is the person of the Trinity who died for our sins. This belief is supported by key biblical passages such as John 3:16, which states that God sent His only Son to save humanity, and 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, which emphasizes Christ's sacrificial death and resurrection. Romans 5:8 highlights that Christ's death was an act of love and redemption. These scriptures affirm that Jesus took on human form and sacrificed His life on the cross to atone for the sins of humanity, offering salvation to all who believe in Him.

    What is Satan's name in the Bible?

    • Devil

    • Lucifer

    • Adam

    • Judas

    Correct Answer
    A. Lucifer
    Explanation
    In the Bible, Satan is often referred to as Lucifer, particularly in Isaiah 14:12, which describes the fall of a being called "Lucifer, son of the morning," who sought to exalt himself above God and was cast down from heaven. The name Lucifer means "light-bringer" or "morning star" and originally referred to an angelic being of high rank. However, due to pride and rebellion against God, Lucifer fell from grace and became known as Satan, the adversary and deceiver. This transformation signifies his role as the principal force of evil, opposing God's purposes and leading other angels in rebellion.

    • In Him I trust

    • For He is with me

    • Because He protects me

    • With His strength

    Correct Answer
    A. In Him I trust
    Explanation
    The phrase "In Him I trust" completes the verse from Psalm 91:2: "I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in Him I trust." This verse emphasizes the psalmist's declaration of faith and trust in God. By referring to God as a refuge and fortress, the psalmist acknowledges God's role as a protector and stronghold in times of trouble. Trusting in God means relying on His strength, protection, and faithfulness, recognizing that He is a safe haven in all circumstances. This expression of trust underscores the deep confidence the psalmist has in God's ability to provide safety and security.

    According to the Bible, will God forgive us if you steal, kill, or lie?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    According to the Bible, God is willing to forgive any sin, including stealing, killing, and lying, if a person genuinely repents and seeks His forgiveness. Key scriptures supporting this include 1 John 1:9, which states, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness," and Acts 3:19, which says, "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord." The Bible emphasizes God's mercy and willingness to forgive those who turn to Him with a contrite heart.

    • 1

    • 2

    • 3

    • 4

    Correct Answer
    A. 1
    Explanation
    According to the Bible, the only way to get to Heaven is through faith in Jesus Christ. This is based on key scriptures such as John 14:6, where Jesus states, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me," and Acts 4:12, which emphasizes that salvation is found only in Jesus. Ephesians 2:8-9 further explains that salvation is a gift from God through faith, not by works. Thus, Christian doctrine holds that believing in Jesus and His redemptive work is the sole path to eternal life in Heaven.

    • Cats, dogs, horse

    • Lice, locusts, frogs

    • Darkness, hail, fire

    Correct Answer
    A. Cats, dogs, horse
    Explanation
    The Ten Plagues of Egypt, as described in the Bible, include events like lice, locusts, frogs, darkness, hail, fire, blood, boils, and flies. However, "cats, dogs, horse" are not part of these plagues, making this option the correct answer for something that is not a plague.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    According to the Bible, does God hate it when we sin?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    According to the Bible, God hates sin because it contradicts His holy and perfect nature and separates humans from Him. Sin leads to spiritual death and disrupts the relationship between God and people. Verses such as Proverbs 6:16-19 explicitly state that there are actions God hates and considers detestable. Romans 6:23 explains that the consequence of sin is death. Despite this, the Bible also highlights God's immense love for humanity and His desire for reconciliation. John 3:16 illustrates that God sent His Son, Jesus, to save the world from sin, offering forgiveness and eternal life to those who repent and believe. This underscores that while God hates sin, He loves sinners and seeks their redemption.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Has Satan always been evil?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    According to the Bible, Satan was not always evil. Initially, he was created as a good angel. His original name, Lucifer, means "light-bringer" or "morning star," suggesting a high-ranking and beautiful angelic being. However, due to pride and a desire to ascend to a position of equality with God, Lucifer rebelled against God. This rebellion is described in passages like Isaiah 14:12-15 and Ezekiel 28:12-17, which are often interpreted as referring to the fall of Satan. As a result of this rebellion, Lucifer was cast out of heaven and became Satan, the adversary and deceiver, opposing God and leading a host of other angels in rebellion. This transformation marks the point at which Satan became evil, opposing God's will and seeking to corrupt and destroy.

    Who wrote the Bible?

    • Moses

    • Jesus

    • Multiple authors over centuries

    • Paul

    Correct Answer
    A. Multiple authors over centuries
    Explanation
    The Bible was written by multiple authors over several centuries, spanning a wide range of historical contexts and literary styles. It consists of two main sections: the Old Testament, which includes texts written primarily in Hebrew and Aramaic, and the New Testament, written in Greek. The Old Testament authors include Moses, who is traditionally credited with writing the first five books (the Torah or Pentateuch), as well as prophets, kings, and historians. The New Testament authors include apostles and early Christian leaders such as Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, Peter, James, and others. Each book reflects the unique perspective and context of its author while being inspired by God, according to Christian belief, making the Bible a diverse yet unified sacred text.

    • Most High

    • Holy One

    • Mighty God

    • Eternal King

    Correct Answer
    A. Most High
    Explanation
    Psalm 91:1 states, "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." This verse conveys a message of divine protection and security. "The secret place of the Most High" refers to a spiritual place of close, intimate communion with God. Those who dwell in this place enjoy God's presence and protection. "Under the shadow of the Almighty" symbolizes safety and refuge, much like the shade and shelter provided by a strong and protective figure. The verse emphasizes the blessings and security that come from a deep, abiding relationship with God.

    Complete the verse: "I am the true vine, and my ________________ is the husbandman."

    • Shepherd

    • Master

    • Teacher

    • Father

    Correct Answer
    A. Father
    Explanation
    The verse "I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman" is found in John 15:1. In this metaphor, Jesus refers to Himself as the true vine, emphasizing the source of spiritual nourishment and life for His followers, who are likened to branches. The term "husbandman" refers to a farmer or caretaker. In this context, God the Father is depicted as the caretaker who tends to the vine, pruning and nurturing it to ensure it bears fruit. This relationship highlights the interconnectedness between Jesus, His followers, and God, illustrating how spiritual growth and fruitfulness are achieved through abiding in Jesus and being under the Father's care.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    Complete the verse: "Every branch in me that beareth ______________________ and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it."

    • No leaves

    • No fruit

    • Many leaves

    • Many flowers

    Correct Answer
    A. No fruit
    Explanation
    The verse "Every branch in me that beareth no fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit" is found in John 15:2. In this passage, Jesus uses the metaphor of a vine and its branches to illustrate the relationship between Himself and His followers. Branches that do not bear fruit represent individuals who do not live in accordance with His teachings and thus are removed. In contrast, branches that do bear fruit, symbolizing those who live fruitful spiritual lives, are pruned or purged by God to encourage even greater spiritual growth and productivity. This pruning process can involve discipline, guidance, and challenges designed to strengthen faith and character.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    According to the Bible, will praying everyday, being good and going to church get you into Heaven?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    According to the Bible, while praying every day, being good, and attending church are important aspects of a Christian life, they alone do not grant entry into Heaven. The Bible teaches that salvation and entry into Heaven are achieved through faith in Jesus Christ. Key scriptures such as Ephesians 2:8-9 emphasize that salvation is a gift from God received through faith, not by works. Jesus' statement in John 14:6 and the declaration in Romans 10:9 further affirm that belief in Jesus and accepting His grace are essential for salvation. Thus, faith in Jesus Christ is the fundamental requirement for entering Heaven.
