How Well Do You Know Popular Bible Verses?

I got

Scripture Success!

From the Old to the New Testament, you know your Bible Verses! Though most Christians have heard these famous verses before, it takes a real student of the Bible to know the specific books from which these verses come. Even people that have read the Bible cover to cover multiple times don’t have a detailed knowledge of the specific verses – but you do! Great job! You must be very devoted to your faith, and for that we salute you! Think your friends and fellow Christians can pass the test? Share this quiz and let’s see how well they do!

I also got Scripture Success. It seems the things you learn in Sunday School remain with you throughout life.

It seems the following are true....
Train up a child in the way he should go....
As the twig is bent....

I honestly was surprised at my knowledge.

I have a hard time remembering where in the Bible are when talking to someone.

Guess I need to start trusting my gut more.

I immediately recognized every single one. But, my organizational skills are very lacking. I only got 7 right as to which Biblical book they were from.

I'd rather see a test like this one that tested real passages versus outright false or often incorrectly attributed ones. I'd do much better on that test.

I didn't see a false one.

And it was based on popular verses.

"I didn't see a false one." - lilyofcourse

I didn't say there were any. I was wishing it was a test about "picking real verses out of a bunch of real ones and made up or incorrectly attributed ones" instead of a "which book are these real ones from" test.

Well. It wasn't. It was a quiz about how well you know where they are in the Bible.

I understand that.

I was just saying I would be better at picking out real ones versus outright fakes or ones that are from some other source.

There are a lot of popular Bible "quotes" that are not in the Bible, at all.

One is the one about "the lion will lie down with the lamb". That is not in the Bible.

The seven "deadly" sins are not enumerated that way in the Bible.

Money is the "root" of all evil--not in the Bible.

God helps those who help themselves--not in there, either.

Yes, it is LOVE of money as the root of evil, not money itself.

Here is the lion and lamb reference"

New American Standard Bible
And the wolf will dwell with the lamb, And the leopard will lie down with the young goat, And the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; And a little boy will lead them

But it does not say the lion will lie down with the lamb.  It's a loose paraphrase, but it does not say that.

No. Husker it doesn't. I misspoke. But you knew exactly what I meant and you just want to argue.

If I had changed the meaning of the passage that would be one thing. But I didn't. The meaning of it is that the animals will live in peace, together.

I doubt even God cares that I misspoke on this one.

Want to pick something else apart?

Have at it.

Those type of sayings come from an understanding of the Bible - not direct quotes from scripture.

Not really. 

Take the "seven deadly" sins, for example.  People interpret that to mean that those particular sins are the "bad ones", and other sins not on that list are not "so bad".  That is a gross MISUNDERSTANDING of the Bible and the concept of sin. 

 

I don't even think the guy who came up with that list really meant it that way, he was just admonishing people to behave better and enumerating certain sins that he felt were too prevalent among mankind at the time (and really, still are, I suppose).

 They are not deadly b/c they are "worse" than others, they are "deadly" b/c people rarely see them as sins within themselves.  How can people repent of a sin they don't recognize they have?

Maybe--but they still are not enumerated in the Bible in that way at all.
