Bible Exam - Help Me Get Ordained!

[Tree of Life]

It's rather strong language, isn't it? Yet it does say that they will be "spewed" out of His mouth. It literally causes Him to be sick, so to speak. It seems to be quite emphatic for a reason.

This question is similar:

Did Jesus ever spit?

That one time he cured the blind man he used spit and dirt to make mud.

 

[brinny]

As more righteous than his friends.

God's own words, right in the beginning of the book of Job that are the "key" to understanding the entire book of Job.

It IS true that God said that about Job's friends later, but God had described Job in the beginning of the book that gave a solid foundation of what God thought of Job.

 

[brinny]

No idea.

Her name was never given.

 

[brinny]

That one time he cured the blind man he used spit and dirt to make mud.

Yes! Awesome. Thank you.

This is fun.

Can you continue something similar to this after your exams?

All I remember is Job being described as an upright man.

Yes.....yer on the right track....but there is a description, with specific words from God Himself that started the entire ball rolling with Satan attacking Job...it's among the very first verses in the beginning of the book.

Give a passage that shows God will rid the world of all evil.

Give a passage that declares the deity of Jesus. Also a passage that declares the deity of the Holy Spirit.

I'm going through the ordination process in my denomination and the English Bible Exam is part of this process. I've passed my written exam and now am scheduled to be verbally examined in a small group setting. They can ask me any questions they want about Bible content. Historical dates (within biblical history) are on the table as well. One thing that's not on the table for this exam is theology. In other words, they're not asking me to make conclusions about what the Bible means. Rather they are simply examining if I know the contents of Scripture.

It would be a great help to me if you'd be willing to grill me with Bible questions in order to help prepare me for this verbal exam. I will answer without looking it up because the exam is closed book. Of course I'm doing all kinds of other study and prep. But I figured this would be helpful too.

So hit me with your best shot and we'll see how I do.

Who is the first one to name God?

 

[Tree of Life]

Who is the first one to name God?

As far as I know it was Abram when he built an altar in Canaan.

 

[Aseyesee]

Who is the first one to name God?

Men began calling on the name of the Lord after Enos was born, but it never gives the name they called upon him with (which spiritually speaking is very important), but of all people (which is also very impotant, what isn't, right ...) Hagar was the first to name God.

Explain the trinity, with supporting verses.

Explain the trinity, with supporting verses.

Trinity can be found in Matthew 28:18-20 and 1 Peter 1:1-3. "Explain the Trinity" would be under my upcoming theology exam. So I wouldn't be asked that in Bible. Location of the Trinity in Scripture is fair game though!

Good luck with your exam!

I know this may sound a little silly but if you have Netflix it may be fun practicing with the TV show on there, The American Bible Challenge

Good call. I will check that out.

The first episode the questions were pretty simple but they get harder each round of the game. It's a way to test trivia when you need a break from the books and you may learn something. They do the trivia by categories like women of the bible, geography, etc, which may come up on an exam

That reminds me, I need to watch that TV show again myself sometime.

These are real questions from a new Christian. In my first month at church (many, many years ago), I asked a pastor what is the will of God? He told that it is explained in the Bible. And I also wanted to know what is the kingdom of God. He said that it is within me. Please do better than that.

These are also theological questions.

What is the only Holy day in the Bible?

 

[Tree of Life]

What is the only Holy day in the Bible?

There are many Holy days mentioned in Scripture. The Sabbath is a Holy day. Along with the six major festivals (Passover, Booths, Day of Atonement, Firstfruits, Pentecost, Trumpets). Also the Sabbatical year and the year of Jubilee were Holy.

Good answer...the festivals are under the law of Moses, and were negated in Acts 15 with the exception of the four mentioned.
God's law, the ten commandments Exodus 20 remain, of course, which includes the fourth commandment, "remember the Sabbath day to keep it Holy...this is brought forward from Genesis 2....
