mordorbund Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 Jacob 5. It has 77 verses that span over 6 pages. Who was the briefest author in the Book of Mormon? Chemish Omni 1:9 Now I, Chemish, write what few things I write, in the same book with my brother; for behold, I saw the last which he wrote, that he wrote it with his own hand; and he wrote it in the day that he delivered them unto me. And after this manner we keep the arecords, for it is according to the commandments of our fathers. And I make an end. What books in our scriptures contain neither "God" nor "Lord"? Quote
skalenfehl Posted February 2, 2015 Author Report Posted February 2, 2015 What books in our scriptures contain neither "God" nor "Lord"? The Song of Solomon and the book of Esther. Who did Paul the apostle send to Ephesus? Quote
SpiritDragon Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 Tychicus 2 Timothy 4:12 An OT prophet had two staffs and named them. One staff's name started with an F and the other a U. Who is the prophet and what are the staffs named? Quote
askandanswer Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 staff 1 Friedrich staff 2 Uchtdorf, and the prophet is President Monson :) Zechariah is the only one I can find who named his staffs, but they were Beauty and Bands (Old Testament | Zechariah 11:7)7 And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock. Quote

I forgot to mention the F and U (not meaning to be expletive) are the for the names in NIV and not KJV. What is your question askandanswer? Quote
askandanswer Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 lol, ummmmm. Can't think of anything at the moment, I'll give it a go in the morning when my brain is working again :) I don't want to hold up the thread while I try to think of a question so if anyone else has a question, please jump in.

skalenfehl Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Posted February 3, 2015 We can wait, askandanswer. Make it a good one. :) Quote
skalenfehl Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) While we wait for our next question, I found this quiz. It's a very good one. I scored 84%. Out of 55 questions, I got 9 wrong. I disagree with one or two questions, which I believe I should have gotten right. Still a very good quiz. Any brave souls want to take the quiz and post your score? How Well Do You Know The Bom? Edited February 3, 2015 by skalenfehl Quote
PolarVortex Posted February 4, 2015 Report Posted February 4, 2015 Here's a trivia question. We're all familiar with the story of Paul's conversion on the road to Damascus. The story is actually recounted twice in Acts, but the two stories contradict each other on one point: whether Paul's companions heard the voice from heaven. Acts 9:7 "And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man." Acts 22:9 "And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me." How can these both be true? Quote

Those who insist that the scriptures are perfect and no errors exist in them would say that Paul's companions saw a light but didn't see anyone in the light, and heard a voice but not the voice of the angel. For myself, I say it's clear that either the accounts differed and Luke dutifully reported both, or Luke messed up in the retelling of one of them. Note that this situation is not unlike that of Alma the younger's experience. Quote

For myself, I say it's clear that either the accounts differed and Luke dutifully reported both, or Luke messed up in the retelling of one of them. Note that this situation is not unlike that of Alma the younger's experience. Actually, the explanation I read is simpler than that. The Greek verb "to hear" can be used with the accusative or genitive. When used with the accusative, it means "to hear," and with the genitive it means "to hear without understanding" (I think). In Greek these verses don't conflict at all: one verse says only that they heard a voice, and the other says they did not hear a voice with understanding. Trouble erupts when you translate this into English. IIRC there are English translations that make this difference clear, but I can't seem to find them at the moment and I really need to get back to work.
