Books of the Protestant Bible Quiz

You scored 9/66 = 14%.

This beats or equals 4.8% of test takers. This quiz was really tough. 40% of the people knew Habakkuk. really?

You scored 15/66 = 23%. This beats or equals 9.2% of test takers.

-- I think that the people who take this quiz are people who know about the Bible in general. People tend to avoid quizzes they are completely clueless about.

Actually, if you really know your Bible, you would know that

Yeah well if you really know your Bible, you would know them all. What's your point exactly?

As long as we understand that "minor" doesn't mean anything inferior to the major prophets. The books are far shorter, that's all.

9/66 I'm quite pleased with that having never read the Bible in my life and having only been to church for weddings and school Christmas services, I knew the first 5 of the Old Testament and the first 4 of the New.

Well done!

Why are you pleased?

Because he got answers right in a field that is obscure to him, pretty obvious/logical imo.

All 66 with 5:08 left!

got them all with 3:08 left!!!!

66/66 got Titus with 5 seconds remaining

I only got twelve and I like grew up in church... what is my problem, it's been too long.

Got them all with 4:25 left! And no, I did not copy straight from the table of contents on my Bible. :)

It took me a couple of minutes to get Lamentations. I kept going through all the prophets in my head trying to remember which one I was forgetting.

I had to learn them a good many times for my AWANA program, so I've still got them in my head.

"I will hide Your word in my heart, that I might not sin against You." Apparently it refers to the books of the Bible as well, hmm?

Why is it that Micah is designed to trip me up by not asking for the H, but Nehemiah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Obadiah, Jonah, Zephaniah, and Zechariah are not?

66/66 on first try with 4:04 left; obviously, I am a Protestant. I'll be praying for you all! :)

I'll be clicking my heels together and making wishes for you.

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, and wit is the lowest form of humour.

Wow, I'm so incredibly humbled.

Don't insult Christianity just to find an argument. You'll find that you will lose more often then win.

I'm using an apt metaphor to make a joke, not insulting anyone or making any sort of argument. You see the joke as insulting and argumentative because the apt metaphor triggers some self-realization that puts you on the defensive... consider why.

Fishbone do you exist solely to troll kalbahamut? I have seen a few of your comments now all declaring that kal has lost an argument and nothing else except maybe a casual insult.

Oh actually you agreed with some of his comments on the Word Scramble - Countries quiz. So I kind of retract that.

First time I've noticed this person but yes my head is so full of thoughts of how amazing I am that I am much too stupid to understand that I got owned by the guy snootily ranking forms of humor so as to make themselves feel superior to someone making a joke they disagree with. He's totally got me pegged.

Got em all in order with 3 minutes to spare

Yay! 100%

You scored 16/66 = 24%. Sad that I only remembered this many books. Proud that I haven't wasted time memorizing more because religion is a waste of time.

If religion is truly a waste of time, wouldn't you be more proud (and not sad at all) if you hadn't remembered any?

Religion may be a waste of time, but a relationship with God isn't.

We shall soon see who is right Kal...

The Lord knows those that are His.

We've already seen, you just weren't paying attention.

I'm pretty sure that alive people have a better chance of seeing stuff than dead people. Just as a general rule.

What TW said. If you're waiting to figure things out until you're dead, by the time you have the opportunity to figure out you've been wrong all along it will be too late and you'll never realize it.

I wouldnt say relationships with imaginary people is a waste of time. It helps a lot of people through tough times and I am not talking about just religion. But like kids from an abusive family and stuff like that, they make up a friend, a safe place so to speak.

I am also not sure if knowing about religion is important, definitely not necesarry. Not more or less necesarry than knowing all the plantnames or cities in another country. It cán be usefull. But you can get along just fine not knowing anything about it.

really? I'm quite sure that religion has a much greater impact on the world than the names of the planets. Even as obviously made up as it is, it still informs a great deal of human behaviors, interactions, psychology, customs and laws.

As the religion basis is usually having a deity, if religion isn’t a waste of time, then, what you said, “imaginary friend” is not a waste of time. No offense, of course.

That's not what I said. I said that knowing about religion is not a waste of time. But you can know about religion without practicing any.

Lately I feel like I've spotted more and more old threads that must have previously contained some years-old comments by me that just recently went missing... like here... what is Conservatopia even responding to originally? And why nix it? It couldn't have been that bad if it stood for four years. It just makes the series of follow-up comments confusing. QM or someone got mad at me one day and started going through and deleting comments I guess.... or... they're just generally fed up with me at this point and now whenever anyone reports one of my years-old comments for being offensive or insulting... instead of ignoring the frivolous complaints... he's started deleting the old comments. To the detriment of the site. Whatever. I have no idea what my original comment here was that Conservatopia was replying to... but I can't imagine a bigger waste of time than a relationship with an imaginary friend.

I mean, what have we got to lose?

If we're Christians and it doesn't pan out in the end, oh well. We can say we tried to live a good life and care for others, been loyal to our family and tried to make the world a better place.

If we're not Christians, though, and we show up on the doorstep of heaven, then we're in big trouble.

You can do all those things without being Christian. Many people do, and they do it without subjugating or degrading homosexuals, women, and other "heathens." If there is a God who is in any way like the Christian conception, I think he'd be smart enough to know the difference between genuine believers and people who just shrugged and said "Well, what do I have to lose?" That's a bit like saying to someone you're dating, "Well, you're not great, but I don't think I could do better, so..."

I would suggest looking up the article on Pascal's Wager at RationalWiki. It's hilarious, in addition to being extremely thorough in its logical debunking.

missed the Timothy's dang

Couldn't figure out how to spell Habakkuk

It would help if they accepted "Halibut."

Easy 100% My 8 year old sister knew them all!

Is 8 year olds knowing all of the US states also indoctrination/abuse? I would argue there isn't much difference.

Is Songs of Songs okay?

In which of these books does it say that Jesus was born on December 25th? :)

kidding... Merry Christmas, JetPunkers

Merry Christmas!!!

It doesn't give a date for Christ's birth, just as it doesn't say how many wise men there were, and it certainly doesn't mention a Christmas tree in the desert land nor tell about Santa Claus. Not all our Christmas traditions come from the Bible. I have no problems with celebrating arbitrarily assigned days to honor Christ's birth, death, and resurrection, nor do I have a problem with celebrating traditions that were integrated from other cultures or pagan celebrations, such as Christmas trees, Easter eggs, etc I celebrate both the religious holidays and some of the secular traditions. There are sects of Christianity who do not celebrate Christmas for reasons such as the one you mentioned, and I have no problem with them, either. I've never had anyone tell me I can't celebrate the religious holiday, but if it happened, then that I would have a problem with. To those of you who celebrate this time of year, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and/or Happy Holidays to all.

The days aren't actually arbitrary, but they come from pagan tradition predating Christianity. And I have no problem with Christians assigning significance to the date, either, or taking older traditions and putting their own spin on them. And I certainly don't take any issue with the idea that there should be a day where people try to be nicer to each other or celebrate family or generosity or other stuff like that. Just a bit of fun, on all sides of this comment.

Nowhere. Apparently, archaeological studies say that Jesus was born in a period correspondent to the month of October. I believe it was this date by convention of the Catholics, and the date stayed like that, although we celebrate Jesus’s birthday everyday.

Merry (late) Christmas for you also :)

There is no archaeological evidence that Jesus was ever born at all, let alone that indicates which month he was born. The simple fact of the matter is we do not know and likely never will. But there were holidays set near the the winter solstice long before the first century AD. When Christianity became a Roman religion, it co-opted many pagan Roman holidays and traditions.

It's warm enough in Israel for shepherds to sleep outside all year. Especially 2000 years ago when people weren't accustomed to indoor climate controls. And Jesus was executed as a criminal, according to tradition, not murdered.

You believe that a civilization that executed criminals by nailing them to elevated posts and slowly letting them die agonizing deaths to sepsis, exposure, dehydration and/or animal predation is concerned about the humane treatment of political prisoners and traitors to the empire? You've been sold a bill of goods, man.

Pilate said that he found no reason for crucifix Jesus. He could basically say a “f*** up” to the people who pressuring for the crucifix of Jesus, and release Him, but was everything already “consummate”. If not by that we wouldn’t be free of the sin (although we still sin), and have the chance of live with God in the heaven.

It isn't "PsalmS" with an "s" at the end but "Psalm". Good quiz!

Got em all with 5:13 left

Know them all in danish, but struggled real hard with the english names and spelling. Got them all however, except Ecclesiastes and Lamentations, which are called something entirely different in danish.

me

Would God give you credit for knowing the names of nearly all the books of the Bible in some language that the books weren't originally written in and isn't your first language? What sort of credit would he give you? Do you think I should learn them in as many languages as possible? Do some languages count more than others? I wonder if God would give me credit for learning languages generally...

Pity he doesn't give credit for things that actually matter.

I sure hope so. I tried cashing in my white male privilege points there to get a new air freshener for my car and they wouldn't accept those.

Who's fighting?

I got 100%, 1 minute and 48 seconds to spare.

Average score is 41, wow I thought I was pretty average with 10.. I guess mainly religious people (or with religious upbringing) took this quiz and others avoided it.

Me an atheist, seeing all these people, many of which are probably Christian, struggle, as I got 100% first try. I read various Bibles though, so...

Could you just accept "Solomon"?

Yeah, I typed that like 20 times. Thought I was losing my mind.

Why do I keep forgetting Deuteronomy?

Great quiz!

You should add Song of Songs as a type-in.

all of them with 1:56 left

55 on my first try, im definitely going to start reading my bible again and memorizing the books of the bible song

Damn, super tough for someone who's not Christian or from a Christian family. I did read it for some basic understanding at some point but I didn't really pay attention to the book names. 26/66 isn't even close to average but I feel like I performed fairly well. Many of those were guesses though.

I memorized these since 2nd grade.

How is this different from the other one?

I did slightly better on this one.
