Test Your Biblical Literacy

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Hey Folks,

Take this test (found on CHRISTIA) and see how y'all fare:

* 
*         BSAT -- The Biblical Scholastic Aptitude Test.
* 
*     Even as televangelists begin to fall upon hard times, the fundamentalist
* influence in America remains on the upsurge.  Part of the movement's
* resiliency lies in its burgeoning networks of centers of higher education.
* 
*     And, as biblically oriented universities continue to offer an
* alternative to secular liberal arts colleges, it's just common sense that
* an appropriate standard by which to measure a student's aptitude would
* develop.  So get those number two pencils ready--it's time to take the
* Rev. Dan Halberstein's Biblical Scholastic Aptitude Test.
* 
* 
* I.  Math
* 
*  1.  Nehemiah 7:12 - Nahum 4:3 = ?
*       a) Micha 3:9;             c) Isaiah 66:9;
*       b) Obadiah 6:69;          d) Numbers 11:15;
* 
*  2.  To feed 5,000 people sitting in companies of 50, Jesus used two
*      fish and five loaves of bread; in the end, 12 baskets of broken
*      bread were left over.  What is the smallest crowd that Jesus could
*      feed and leave no leftovers?
*       a) 7,000, using three fish and five loaves;
*       b) 10,000, using three fish and 15 loaves;
*       c) 144,000 using eight fish and 40 loaves;
*       d) 144,000 using the 12 baskets previously left over.
* 
*  3.  Complete the sequence:  1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1
*      Chronicles, _________.
* 
* 
* II.  Economics
* 
*  1.  In what book of the New Testament is the Beatrice Corporation
*      explained?  The Old Testament?
* 
*  2.  The European Economic Community (The Common Market) has been
*      one of the economic building blocks of the postwar world.  It is
*      also reminiscent of:
*       a) The Fiery Chariot;             c) The Beast;
*       b) The Whore of Babylon;          d) Jacob's Ladder.
* 
*  3.  In today's economy, which would be worth more, five golden tumors or
*      five golden mice?
*       a) Five golden tumors;
*       b) Five golden mice;
*       c) Their value would vary with the local market;
*       d) It is irrelevant, as the modern demand for both tumors and mice
*          made of precious metals is virtually nil.
* 
* 
* III.  Science
* 
*  1.  God:Sun:
*       a) Creator:Creation;    b) Good:Soon;    c) Godot:Sunoco.
* 
*  2.  In today's terminology, we would call Demonic Possession:
*       a) A high-temperature superconductor;
*       b) a hostile takeover;
*       c) a labor-saving device.
* 
*  3.  The difference between Creationism and Evolution is:
*       a) Evolution has no tax-deductible fund, and does not accept postdated
*          checks;
*       b) Creationism can be called a theory, because somebody believes in it,
*          whereas Evolution cannot be called a religion, because nobody will
*          picket for it;
*       c) Evolution can only be called a science in that it doesn't have a
*          high enough Nielsen rating to be called a religion.
* 
* 
* IV.  Essay
* 
*    Which is more important, life after death, or life before birth?
*    Explain.
