| “And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.” (Genesis 2:18) |
In this case, it would be his partner, (which would be Eve) the woman. | Incorrect |
| “Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.” (1 Timothy 4:3) |
I don’t know. | I don’t know |
| “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15) |
Study is the way we understand it today. To put in the work to understand what God is trying to say when it comes to difficult passages. To compare Scripture with Scripture, look for the whole truth, not take just one verse at a time. | Incorrect |
| “And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.” (1 Kings 18:21) |
To stop and be considering two different options. | Incorrect |
| “If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.” (1 Corinthians 15:19) |
Miserable is the opposite of having hope, as in being hopeless or in despair. | Incorrect |
| “Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.” (Proverbs 22:28) |
A landmark is a mark on the land, kind of like a monument. It is there to act as a marker to mark how far someone has moved from a reference. When you remove it you are removing the reference which is dangerous. | Incorrect |
| “Therefore now, Lord God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked before me.” (1 Kings 8:25) |
I think the words “so that” are like “for the reason of”. Because God will do the first part of that verse to accomplish the second part of the verse. Solomon is trying to say the first part can be accomplished once the second part has been done. So the reason for the first part is so the second part can get done. | Incorrect |
| “Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.” (Philippians 4:15) |
I think it’s as simple as the way we understand it today. To make a connection over a letter or over speech by sending a messenger. It’s just the same: take the message from one place to another. In this case it was concerning giving and receiving. Paul was saying that the Philippians were the only ones who brought to him the message about giving, like a love offering. | Incorrect |
| “Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.” (Matthew 13:21) |
As time passes on. | Incorrect |
| “These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.” (John 16:1) |
From my understanding, I believe it’s to be “put off the end”, like when someone is off the path. If there is a right path, someone who is offended would be off that path. To offend someone means to put them off the path. | Correct |
| Totals | Correct: 1 Incorrect: 8 |
