Hmmm. Having read about this at Abnormal Interests (Is a Better Score Better or Worse?) I decided to take it. I got 100%, though actually I’d give the test only about 80%. Does this qualify me to be an unbeliever? 🙂
Wow! You are awesome! You are a true Biblical scholar, not just a hearer but a personal reader! The books, the characters, the events, the verses – you know it all! You are fantastic!
We’ve had some discussion of Romans 13 over on the Energion Discussion Network, with contributions from David Alan Black, Elgin Hushbeck, Jr., and Steve Kindle (via comments). The question is just what it means to be subject to the “higher powers,” and when or whether a Christian can ever be involved in a revolutionary movement….
Today my Sunday School class, The Way at First UMC Pensacola, will spend a second week discussing Process Theology after reading Bruce Epperly’s little introduction (Process Theology: Embracing Adventure with God). Last week we spent most of our time on definitions. Asked to relate Calvinism, Arminianism, Openness Theology, and Process Theology, here’s what I came…
Lingamish has a wonderful post about Ephesians 5:22ff (if you don’t know about the part that is “ff” be sure to read his post!), and what this can mean in our relationship with our wives. (I do intentionally use purely male references, referring to the Lingamish and myself. You can adjust as necessary!) This reminds…
A friend e-mailed me about a post which caught my attention. It seems that a blogger wanted to use the feed of the ESV Bible from the official web site, but found that the terms of service required him to accept a doctrinal statement first (relevant links are in his entry). Personally, I think that…
(Leave Christology out of it!) Reading the post A Similarity Between Reasoned Eclecticism & Byzantine Priority over on the Evangelical Textual Criticism blog (HT: Dave Black Online, Monday, June 6, 12:35), set me to thinking. Fair warning: This will be a bit rambling. These are thoughts triggered by the post, not largely in response to…
I’m running a little behind today, so I’m just going to give you the link. You can check out the details via the event on Google+. The YouTube viewer is embedded below.

You may qualify as an honorary unbeliever perhaps. The quiz was more than a bit of a joke itself and I’m somewhat embarrassed that I missed any of the questions.
Well, the quiz certainly was a joke, but I know quite a number of people who claim that they follow “every word the Bible says” and would be unable to answer many of the questions. There were also some flawed questions, other than the “giveaway” answers.
I got a kick out of the high scores by various non-believers, because that is precisely what I would expect.
I figure it’s the only place that I will ever be referred to as a “biblical scholar”. I may know my bible but not as well or in ways that I should. When I see answers like Dr. Suess and Hootie, well, as you said, it was a joke and there was no way to take said quiz seriously.
I got 100% also. We had to take Bible knowledge tests like this in Bible school (well, they were actually more difficult than this one and didn’t have any silly answers that I recall). In fact, I think we had to take one before graduation, I guess to see if we had learned anything there. I don’t put so much stock in knowing Bible facts like these now. I would far rather that people understand the bigger picture, and even more so, that they would understand what it is that the Bible might have to say that they can use for changing their own attitudes and actions.
Now if someone would just come up with a “Bible COMPREHENSION test” …
