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) |
Well it’s two words. So the word meet means suitable or appropriate. | Correct |
| “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) |
Not to partake of meats anymore. That was a Jewish idea that certain things were off limits and these people were trying to bring that into the church. It means they were saying you shouldn’t have meats: any kind of dietary restrictions. | Unclear |
| “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) |
I’ve not preached on that passage, but I think it just means to consider diligently, not haphazardly. | 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 stay in one place. They were not willing to say either way whether they wanted to serve God or Baal. So to halt is kind of to stand between two decisions. | Incorrect |
| “If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.” (1 Corinthians 15:19) |
It means people worth pity. You could say pitiable. | Correct |
| “Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set.” (Proverbs 22:28) |
In the context of the Old Testament, they had border marked by a rock or tree or fence line. Remove not the ancient landmark means you don’t cheat somebody by moving the landmark. | 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 is just saying that this is the intent of God that this would be true. | 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 means that nobody had mentioned that there was a need. He hadn’t said there was a need and the Lord just led them to meet the need. | 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) |
Eventually or after a time. | Incorrect |
| “These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.” (John 16:1) |
To stumble. | Correct |
| Totals | Correct: 4 Incorrect: 5 |
