It was poorly put together and designed to make people answer in the way the write want you to answer ..look at the Christmas question for example.

"8. When the Israelites conquered the Midianites, what part of the spoils of war was given to the priest as 'the Lord's tribute'?"
Actually, it was 675 sheep, 72 oxen, 61 donkeys, and 32 persons. Wonder why they only mention one of these?
"10. What happened to Korah and his family, Israelites who thought they could deal directly with God without a human intermediary?"
It would seem that Korah's intent wasn't to get rid of intermediaries, as this question implies, but to replace God's appointed intermediaries with his own.
"11. According to the bible, who created evil?"
It would appear that they are relying on the KJV here. The word in Isaiah 45:7 can also be translated as "calamity", "adversity", and "affliction", and all three of these contrast better with "peace" than "evil" does and thus would seem to more accurately reflect the original intent of the author.
"12. According to the bible, what is God not able to do?"
Assumes that the "he" in Judges 1:19 refers to God rather than to Judah.
"14. According to biblical biology, what is a bat?"
"Ofe" does not necessarily represent a biological classification.
"15. According to biblical anatomy, where does thinking happen?"
There is no such thing as "biblical anatomy".
"17. After Jephthah was victorious in battle, what sacrifice did he burn on the altar, as he had vowed to the Lord?"
e) There is some dispute as to whether Jephthah offered anything as a burnt sacrifice.
"20. What happened to 42 little children who teased God's prophet Elisha for being bald and he cursed them in the name of the Lord?"
They weren't necessarily "little children" (again, the author of the quiz show too heavily a reliance on the KJV instead of checking the original language). The same word is used for Mahlon and Chilion (the husbands of Ruth and Orpah; Ruth 1:5) and the "young men" that counseled Rehoboam (1 Kings 2:8, 10, 14, 2 Chronicles 10:8, 10, 14).
"32. According to Jesus, how should Christian disciples treat their parents?"
The word "hate" in Luke 14:26 can also mean "to love less". Or are people supposed to "hate" their own lives as well?
"33. According to Jesus, how should slaves be treated?"
e) None of the above. Jesus was speaking about how slaves are treated, not about how they should be treated in Luke 12:47ff.
"34. What did Jesus say about peace?"
Jesus is not relating his desired purpose of his coming, but the results.
"36. What personal sacrifice for 'the kingdom of heaven' was Jesus talking about when he told his disciples, 'He that is able to receive it, let him receive it'?
e) Remain unmarried. Note that Matthew 19 first addresses divorce, with Jesus' disciples replying that since Jesus makes divorce all but impermissible, "it is not good to marry" and it is to this that Jesus responds in 19:12.
Maybe the authors of this quiz should do some more studying of the bible before they come up with such erroneous and\or incomplete answers.

The person who put the quiz together doesn't seem to know much about the bible, so take it with a grain of salt--- your scores won't necessarily reflect your true knowledge of it. Though the quiz is lengthy and tedious, so why bother?
That, and FFRF in her link refers specifically to: Freedom from Religion Foundation.
How codependent... dedicating your life in an effort to make someone else change.

I only got a 16. For that score they asked if I got my bible training from sunday school. Yep, that's about it and that was a real long time ago. Now, somebody post a science test.

I am degreed in Christian theology and pastoral counseling. I have studied the Bible, history, and church history.
And with all that education, I still found out the truth. That Christianity is a false religion and that the Bible is simply a regurgitation of the myths of other faith practices.
Don't need your quiz.
