False Friends
| Verse | Your Answer | Correct/Incorrect |
|---|---|---|
| “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) |
Someone to come alongside. | 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) |
Meats is just a word for foods, certain foods that God had prohibited in the Old Testament that he freed up under grace. Very rarely animal muscles. | Correct |
| “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) |
It is translated elsewhere as diligence, but because the context has to do with the Word of God, the translators chose study. More than read, pay attention, compare, etc. Changing it to dilient takes away the only admonition to study. | 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) |
It means to limp along. Just like people in the New Testament who were coming to be healed, some of them were halt. To be injured, to limp along. | Correct |
| “If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.” (1 Corinthians 15:19) |
That’s a difficult question. I have read that verse a lot of times but I’m not sure what he means by that. Because how can the Christian life lived well like Paul lived be considered miserable, negative, and bad? It must have to do with spending your entire heart and life on something that proved not to be true. | Incorrect |
| “Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.” (Proverbs 22:28) |
It is to change the family-appointed boundaries that Joshua established when a land was divided. | Correct |
| “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) |
It means “as long as”. It’s basically a promise that is only valid if his children walk in God’s ways. | Correct |
| “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) |
It means they gave him an offering. | Correct |
| “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 goes on, or as time passes. (I thought you were going to ask me about “yet hath he not root in himself”—that would be more difficult.) | Incorrect |
| “These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.” (John 16:1) |
In that context it is to be caught by surprise by what was going to happen. Or to take offense because you weren’t expecting things to be difficult because you would be persecuted or hated. | Incorrect |
| Totals | Correct: 5 Incorrect: 5 |
