True or False: What do you know about the early history of Christianity?

Question

Anyone can answer. I'll put this up for a vote to see who gets best answer. Just ten true or false questions:
1) Constantine did not "found" Christianity, but legalized it in the Roman Empire.
2) The purpose of the Council of Nicea was to decide whether or not Jesus actually WAS God.
3) Christianity wasn't that heavily persecuted in the beginning.
4) The Dead Sea Scrolls revealed that the Bible had been BADLY mistranslated.
5) The Bible was written over a span of 1500 years, by many different authors.
6) In 90 AD, in the Council of Jamnia, the Old Testament Canon was officially decided, but it had been decided a long time before that unofficially.
7) It was a heretic named Marcion who caused an official canon of the New Testament to be agreed upon.
8) December 25th was named as Christ's birthday to make the conversion easier for pagans.
9) The Apocrypha isn't included in most Bibles because the councils didn't like what was written in the books.

Continued for number 10.

10) The early church wasn't sure if Christ was truly divine.

Before anyone says so, I know that the list is flawed, and isn't as informative as I'd like. I created it, of course it's flawed.
And yes, I do know the answers.

As for the third answer, as I said, I already know the answers.

Mediocritis has a good point. The reason I'm going to put it up for vote (most likely, unless only one person gets them all right) is because last time I did something like this, several people got all the answers right.
Here's the link to the old question, for anyone who's interested:

(It's still in voting, by the way!)

Answer 1

1) True
2) True
3) What is "that" heavily?
4) False
5) True
6) I don't know, but I know the Jews of the diaspora had a larger canon than the religious leaders in Jerusalem. The larger canon was adopted by the early Church and remains with the Catholic Church today; the smaller one was adopted by the Protestants during the Reformation.
7) I think I've heard that before.
8) True
9) See answer to 6.
10) All Christians agree He is divine (in some way at least) - the Copts and some others don't believe He was fully human too.

My faith doesn't rest on this history but on what God has revealed to me personally, although it's good and necessary to talk of these things and find like-minded believers.

True

3) Christianity wasn't that heavily persecuted in the beginning.
False

4) The Dead Sea Scrolls revealed that the Bible had been BADLY mistranslated.

5) The Bible was written over a span of 1500 years, by many different authors.
True

True.

9) The Apocrypha isn't included in most Bibles because the councils didn't like what was written in the books.
True. It's included in the CAtholic bible. When the other branches of Christianity left the Catholic church, they took out books from the bible.

False. His Apostles believed he was divine.

Answer 3

1) True
2) True
3) True
4) True
5) True.... closer to a span of 1400 years though (First writer of the Bible was Moses circa 1200BC and the last New Testament writings were sometime around 150 AD)
6) True
7) False (Marcion of Sinope died in 160 AD. Long before the official canon was agreed)
8) False (December 25th was previously the feast of Sol Invictus. After Constantine, debates on Christ's nature began and they felt the need to choose an acceptable birthday. December 25th was chosen because it is 9 months before March 25th [the accepted date of Christ's crucifixion at the time]. 9 months was just a nice round number.
9) True
10) True

Answer 4

1) True
2) True. Although it can be argued the the Council served Constantine's purposes of asserting his power over church affairs.
3) True
4) True
5) False. It still in the making.
6) True
7) True.
8) True. Or else, not to interrupt festivities already in place.
9) True.
10) True.

Answer 5

How about adding how the rapture idea did not start until 1827 and was the brainchild of a man named John Darby. There is no evidence the concept was taught prior to that point in time especially not by Christ or his Disciples. The scriptures supporting the rapture have to be pulled out of context to support that idea.

Answer 6

1. True
2. False
3. False
4. False
5.True (Old/New)
6. True
7. True
8. True
9. False

Answer 7

The problem with your true/false test is that you are gonna let a bunch of dummies determine who has the best answers. That's a very, very flawed way to determine the best...if you're really seeking the truth. And, some of your questions are not yet settled or fully agreed upon by great Christian scholars.

Answer 8

1) True
2) False
3) True
4) True
5) False
6) False
7) True
8) True
9) True
10) True

Answer 9

They look all true to me, although the second one was only part of the discussion taking place and not the reason why the Council was held..

Answer 10

All true but #4 and #5?
