The story of creation describes six days in which God created the heavens and the earth. The first day is dedicated to light, then the sky, then the earth and plants, followed by birds and fish and finally animals and man. The seventh day is when God finally rests.

The 10 plagues were: water turning to blood, frogs, lice, flies, pestilence of livestock, boils, a thunderstorm of hail and fire, locusts, darkness for three days, and the killing of firstborn children. Pharaoh refused to free the Israelites after each one until he lost his own son in the final plague.

King Solomon is regarded as one of the better kings Israel saw; many appreciated his kindness and wisdom in how he ruled. Unlike his father, King David, he built alliances with other nations and created solid trade routes with them, which yielded high revenue for the merchants who would pass through them.

1. With one of Adam's ribs
   With dust and clay
2. With a hair from Adam's head
   With water and clay

1. John
   Peter
2. Luke

Luke wrote The Acts of the Apostles as a sequel of sorts to The Gospel of Luke. It is speculated that a co-author helped Luke with both books, but that is still not certain.

1. Mark the Apostle
   St. Paul
2. King James
   John the Baptist

John the Baptist got his name from his followers, who would go through the baptism ceremony with him to cleanse themselves of sin and prepare for the coming of God. Jesus even submitted himself to John for baptism, which was one of the first acts he did in his public life of service to God.

1. The Kingdom of God shines like a pearl.
   The kingdom, like a pearl, is of great value.
2. The beauty of the Kingdom of God is rare like that of a pearl.
   God's kingdom grows inside people like a pearl does in an oyster.

The Parable of the Pearl is meant to illustrate the great value of the Kingdom of God and Heaven. The parable reads as follows: "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it."

Not to be confused with the command from God that Noah should bring onboard a pair of every species of animal on the earth, "clean" animals refer to those that Noah and his family could survive on for the duration of the flood. Seven pairs were needed so that both the humans could survive, and those species would not go extinct.

1. God's name is never mentioned in it.
   It was not told by one of the Apostles.
2. It was a part of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
   They believe only men should have books named after them.

Some Christians believe that because God's name is never mentioned in the book of Esther, it is actually a secular book and has no place in the Bible. Still, God's presence is woven throughout the story, so many on the other side of this argument believe it is still a strong testament to the power and love of God.

1. Matthew
   Mark
2. Luke
   John

Mark, Matthew, Luke and John authored the four gospels ("good news") of Jesus. Nearly everything about the life, ministry, death and resurrection of Jesus is documented in these four books. It is believed that the Gospel of Mark was written about 70 A.D.

1. "shine his love down"
   "show his mercy"
2. "reveal his loving spirit"
   "make His face shine upon you"

This scripture comes from Numbers 6:24-26. The idea is that the face of God is not necessarily imposing God's will upon those who see or receive it, but that he is demonstrating his active love for the receiver.

1. The Jews
   The Egyptians
2. The Persians
   The Romans

The Jews are also referred to as Hebrews or Israelites, and their story is shared in the Old Testament. Both the Jewish Bible and the Christian Bible contain the same material; however, they are arranged differently. In general, the Old Testament is about God's dealing with the Jews being his chosen people.

1. The disciple who betrayed Jesus the night before he was crucified
   A young king who fought a giant in order to prove his strength
2. A prophet who was swallowed by a giant fish before obeying God's command to preach to the Ninevites
   A beggar with leprosy who Jesus healed during one of his miracles

Jonah was called by God to preach to the city of Nineveh, but instead, he tried to escape on a ship. God punished him with a terrible storm, sending Jonah into the sea. He was then swallowed by a giant fish, in which he spent three days before he was spit out back on dry land. Jonah then went to Nineveh and preached the word of God.

1. He defeated the Philistines in battle.
   He defeated Goliath of Garth.
2. He freed the Jews.
   He conquered the city of Jerusalem.

A young King David fought Goliath of Garth, a gigantic Philistine warrior, in order to preserve Israel. King Saul, who was the ruler at the time, was too afraid to fight the giant. So, when David defeated Goliath, this only proved the unfitness of King Saul as ruler of Israel.

1. Because of his greed
   Because he tried to overthrow God
2. Because he started a war with the other angels
   Because of his pride

Lucifer fell from grace because of his unwavering desire to be [a] God, instead of a servant to God. Before he was cast out, Lucifer was the highest of all of the angels, but was still too prideful and believed he deserved more. God then cast him out as a fallen angel.

The "Miracle of the Five Loaves and Two Fish," otherwise known as "The Feeding of the 5,000," is one of the more well-known miracles Jesus performed. The story can be found in the Gospel of John, in which Jesus feeds the crowds with very little near the Sea of Galilee.

Paul was one of Jesus' disciples, but it was a long journey for him to get there. Before his conversion, he was one of the fiercest prosecutors of those who believed in God. Once the bright light of heaven was revealed to him, he became blind and had to be lead into the city of Damascus, where he completed his conversion.

1. People who are loving and generous
   People who only do good deeds to get into heaven
2. Those who treat others with contempt
   Those who follow what others in front of them are doing

This story gives a vision of the final judgment in discussing that the righteous, or good, will be separated from the wicked and the given eternal life. This is done "as a shepherd separated the sheep from the goats;" the wicked are sent away to be punished for eternity. The idea here is that we should always focus on good deeds and helping others.

1. Thou shalt not murder.
   Thou shalt not commit adultery.
2. Thou shalt have no other Gods before me.
   Thou shalt not consume wine on the Sabbath.

1. Put God above material possessions.
   Acquire as much wealth as possible to leave to your loved ones.
2. God can make you wealthy if you trust in him.
   Do not seek wealth, only seek God.

In the parable, God says to the wealthy farmer, "You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?" The take away here is that the farmer only provided himself with earthly treasures and forgot about his spirituality.

1. "The Lord, your God"
   "Alpha and Omega"
2. "the light"
   "the path"

This scripture comes from Revelation 1:8 and states that because God existed before time and will exist after time, there is no room for any other God but him.

1. A desert
   A rock pile
2. A widow
   A wasteland

The book of Lamentations describes Jerusalem as, "How deserted lies the city, once so full of people! How like a widow is she, who once was great among the nations! She, who was queen among the provinces, has now become a slave." After the city fell to Nebuchadnezzar, famine, pestilence, and other terrors set into the city.

The story of Daniel tells how he reaches high office through royal Darius the Mede. When jealous rivals of Daniel trick Darius into issuing his decree, it also condemns Daniel to death. He is thrown into a pit of lions, but instead of being torn apart, God protects him by keeping the lions' mouths shut.

1. Peter
   James
2. Simon
   Mark

After Jesus' arrest, all of his disciples deserted him, even Peter, who swore he would never leave his side. On three different occasions, Peter has the opportunity to stand up for Jesus or, at the very least, say he is a follower of his, but he denies it.

1. He founded Christianity.
   He fathered a son who went on to rule Israel.
2. He is an ancestor of the Jewish and Arab people.
   He is related to Jesus.

Jewish people can trace their lineage back to Issac, who is the son of Abraham and Sarah, while Arabs can trace their lineage to Ishmael, who is the son of Abraham and Hagar. In Judaism, he is the founding father of the Covenant, which is the belief that Jews are the Chosen People.

1. Walking on water
   Turning water into wine
2. Healing a man with leprosy
   Bringing a man back to life

1. "Detest"
   "Falter"
2. "Waiver"
   "Envy"

You've maybe heard this very well known scripture from 1st Corinthians 13:4 at a wedding. This entire chapter of Corinthians covers the topic of love, what it is, and, ultimately, the greatness of it.

1. Sloth, envy, glutton and adultery
   The life cycle; conception, birth, decline, death
2. Earth, wind, fire and water
   Christ, warfare, famine and death

In the book of Revelation (6:1–8), four horsemen appear and they represent various things according to different interpretations. The most common of them interprets the white horse as a symbol for Christ, the red one as a symbol for war and bloodshed, and the black one as a sign of famine. The court horseman rides a pale horse, which many believe represents pestilence and death.

1. Love God with all your heart and soul.
   Treat your neighbor as you would yourself.
2. Love your mother and father.
   Do not murder.

In Matthew 22:34-40, Jesus is asked which commandment his followers must always abide by, and he responds, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind."
