Bible "Flash Cards" and riddles.

I know a lot about the Bible but my memory for specifics is very lacking.
I would like to change that.

The idea is:
Any Christian or interested person can type in a Scripture or Bible riddle. Don't supply which Scripture it is or the answer to the riddle.
If hints are needed, they can be given.

And PLEASE, please, please, please keep it on topic (in other words, naysayers with "jokes" or Bible bashing. Create your own thread if you want).

I'll start with one of my favorite Scriptures. Guess where it is (it's made up of two directly connected verses:
"With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: "Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them.
And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."

I use the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures. The language is more modern, but it should say basically the same thing in King James and other versions.

And for good measure, I'll throw in a riddle:

Subject: Bible Characters and Creatures
Clues
1) Quit his job plowing for a special assignment.
2) Killed his bulls and burned his plow.
3) Served as a Prophet.
4) Attendant to Elijah for 6 years
5) By him Jehovah [God] preformed 16 miracles.
6) Had an attendant named Gehazi.
7) This one will give it away, so I'll wait on this clue.

I'm almost certain that your quote is from Revelation.

I do have to ask, are you a Jehovah's Witness? (I mostly lurk, so I don't really keep track of people too terribly well). I am not asking to be offensive; my mother is a Jehovah's Witness and I grew up as a Witness (though I myself am currently studying Buddhism). It's a scripture the Witnesses often quote, so I easily recognized that quote.

I've no idea where to even start with your riddle, however.

I suppose I shall follow your rules and provide a scripture, though I myself am not a Christian. :)

Spoiler for Bible quote:

Psalm 30:5

I'm glad you gave the spoiler because that would've bothered me all night lol. That Scripture wasn't ringing ANY bells.
I don't know Psalms nearly as well as I should (which is strange, to me, seeing how most people I know remember Psalms more than anything).

Yeah, I'm one of Jehovah's Witnesses, though I'm currently disfellowshipped. I plan on rejoining though.
OH! Welcome to DreamViews!

You're right about the Scripture I gave being from the book of Revelation. It's Rev. 21:3, 4. Good memory :)
The last clue for the riddle is:

[Oh no! My kids moved my box of riddle cards!]
I may not have the exact number quite correct, but some 42 boys were killed by a bear after being disrespectful to this Prophet.

Thanks for participating even though your spiritual interests lie elsewhere now.

WOOT! I got the number correct. It was indeed 42 children.

The name of the Prophet was Elisha.

I'll post some new questions tomorrow...

Grab your towels. It's about to go down.

So long and thanks for all the fish!

lol... something special about the number 42 that I'm missing?

To answer your riddle was it Elisha?

In proverbs...

He that trusteth in ____ ________ shall fall.

In Genesis: When Pharoah tried to take Sarah as his wife what did God do?-

Gave him impotence?

Old enough to not respect a god that kills 42 children because they disrespected a prophet.

It was just a guess though

This is, without a doubt, the oddest riddle game I have ever met. Also the one I will not participate since I don't have any chances of answering right.

I think the Bible verse in my translation is Psalm 146:3
"Do not put your trust in nobles, nor in the son of earthling man, to whom no salvation belongs"

..... grrr... but it doesn't say anything about falling :?

As for the question re: Genesis... Off the top of my head, Pharaoh was cursed somehow? I think this happened to Abraham and Sarah at least 3 times during their journey, and each time, Sarah was returned unharmed.
Abraham kept saying: "She is my sister" for fear he himself and those with him would be killed.

Here's my Scripture: "Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving let your petitions be known to God."
Philippians _:_


Riddle:
1) Father's name Zebedee
2) Evidence points to Salome being his mother
3) Worked in the fishing business
4) Skipping for now :)
5) Also skipping
6) One of the "sons of thunder"
7) First of the 12 Apostles to die as a martyr.

Apostle James

Zhaylin

the LORD struck Pharaoh and his household with severe plagues

Proverbs 11
He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as a branch

Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving let your petitions be known to God."

That is Philippians 4:6

1. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of....?

2. For the preaching of the cross is to them perish....?

3. But we preach Christ...?

4. And the weakness of God is stronger than...?


choose from below


knowledge, charity, love, long suffering. wisdom, revealed, crucified, humble, foolishness, laziness, idolatry, children, generations, men, women,

Excellently done Dave! You answered both correctly!

1) knowledge
2) the sentence doesn't make sense to me with the addition of "perish". I want to answer "foolishness" but it could also be "revealed"
3) again, the sentence seems incomplete or something. The only answer that seems to fit is "crucified".
4) No idea. I will guess "men".

Are you a 7th Day Adventist?

My PC crashed so I no longer have my reference material. From studying briefly with the 7th Day Adventists, I came to learn that the Sabbath was originally on Saturday (the last day of the week).
But how did the Jews observe each day? Was it from sunrise to sunrise or sunset to sunset. A teacher of my oldest son said the Jew's kept the Sabbath on Friday. I don't think so, but I could be wrong.

"And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite." Daniel _:_ _

1) Name means (possibly) "cow"
2) A grandniece of Abraham
3) Was the object of a search
4) By Jehovah's direction she was found
5) Given gifts of 2 bracelets and nose ring
6) Marriage contract, before she met mate.
7) Skipping for now. (I wouldn't be able to answer this one with this clue. Props to anyone who get's it right :) )
