You can't be serious. That was your answer? That was just a wild guess by someone that has no clue. You guys go ahead and have fun. I thought there were rules.
Lol it's not a wild guess. Jesus led the greatest revival of souls. You can find that from Genesis 1 to Revelation 22 and thereafter

Heh perhaps you would prefer a summary?

John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]The same was in the beginning with God.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
[SUP]10 [/SUP]He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
[SUP]13 [/SUP]Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
[SUP]14 [/SUP]And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
[SUP]15 [/SUP]John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
[SUP]16 [/SUP]And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
[SUP]17 [/SUP]For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
[SUP]18 [/SUP]No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
[SUP]19 [/SUP]And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
[SUP]20 [/SUP]And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
[SUP]21 [/SUP]And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
[SUP]22 [/SUP]Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
[SUP]23 [/SUP]He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
[SUP]24 [/SUP]And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
[SUP]25 [/SUP]And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
[SUP]26 [/SUP]John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
[SUP]27 [/SUP]He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
[SUP]28 [/SUP]These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
[SUP]29 [/SUP]The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
[SUP]30 [/SUP]This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
[SUP]31 [/SUP]And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
[SUP]32 [/SUP]And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
[SUP]33 [/SUP]And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
[SUP]34 [/SUP]And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
[SUP]35 [/SUP]Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
[SUP]36 [/SUP]And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
[SUP]37 [/SUP]And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
[SUP]38 [/SUP]Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
[SUP]39 [/SUP]He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
[SUP]40 [/SUP]One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
[SUP]41 [/SUP]He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
[SUP]42 [/SUP]And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
[SUP]43 [/SUP]The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.
[SUP]44 [/SUP]Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
[SUP]45 [/SUP]Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
[SUP]46 [/SUP]And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
[SUP]47 [/SUP]Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
[SUP]48 [/SUP]Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
[SUP]49 [/SUP]Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
[SUP]50 [/SUP]Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.
[SUP]51 [/SUP]And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

Here is the question: "Who preached the greatest revival (saved the most souls at one time), ever?"............That is not the answer. By those standards it would be God because He created everyone single soul that was ever saved. Read the question again. Look, if you don't want to answer that's okay, you just can't give an answer and say it's the correct answer because you are the one that said. The one asking the question is the one that has the answer. If you get it I will accept it. You haven't got it.

This is working out well lol
Heh, that's okay gotta just break into the groove for the topic.

Heh, I pretty much just need to know if Phebe is the correct answer to the deliverer of the Romans Letter.

If she don't confirm it in a few minutes feel free to start us off on a new question brother.

Remember (for everyone) just a Bible Study Game folks, meant to be simple and fun and help to learn a few new verses that even an Atheist could play. Can always make a multitude of topics on theological quandries that we all have.
Just wanting to be specific, and also citeable to share the verses pretty much. Look to examples if you having hard time. Really a tip to how I do some of the questions is read over the verses you are looking to spot, and word the question in such a manner. Naturally we might get some questiosn here and there with more than one answer considerring the Bible spans over thousands of years, but that's okay.

Lol, but Jesus is still the answer, and indeed you just gave it.

I can give other proofs from Jesus not smiting us from the get go when Satan tempted mankind in Genesis 3 to the Resurrection. So you see what I mean lol. I can't give you an honest answer without citing the entire Bible and All Time and All Eternity since Jesus says all the Scripture talks about Him and since He is the Spirit of Prophecy for every single Prophet that wrote much of the Bible.

John 5:46-47

[SUP]46 [/SUP]For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me.
[SUP]47 [/SUP]But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

Revelation 19:10
[SUP]10 [/SUP]And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

You got Jairus real fast! Doh thought that one be a bit harder.

This one is real difficult, so I'm going to give two guess since I don't rightly know so I won't put a question just yet until this is answered (hoping someone else answers this really lol). This one is really bugging me.

Possibly Tertius since he says he was Paul's scribe for this letter

Romans 16:22
[SUP]22 [/SUP]I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord.

Or possibly Phebe since Paul says he commends her unto them from the church in Cenchrea. I am aware that tradition states it is Phebe, but not too positive myself though this is my main guess.

Romans 16:1
1 I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea:
It is Phoebe indeed

It wasn't God, it wasn't Christ, it wasn't the Holy Ghost. It was a man. You are still wrong, and you are still insisting on pretending your answer is right without asking. Like I said, you guys go on and have fun. I think tho, that there shouldn't be any rules. Don't see why they only apply to some of us. Hardly seems fair. :rolleyes:

Ah that was my strong hunch, but had to be hoenst that I had pondered this one before and knew not rightly the answer. Always threw me off with Paul being the voice of the letter, Tertius the writer, and obviously Phebe the messenger, and of course all those goodly salutations. Hey though that's where this game is helpful for learning for all, even for myself!

Well this one shall be easy, seeing as he only wrote one chapter you cite the whole thing, but perhaps this will be a hard one for some for it might appear theological, but is actually quite simple and straightforward directly in the verse I am looking for. So let's say since Obadiah's Prophecy is short I want one verse specific for the answer.

Question:

In Obadiah's prophecy, who wins the War of Mountains?

okay okay =p

Here is the question: "Who preached the greatest revival (saved the most souls at one time), ever?"............
Answers:

i think you're looking for Peter at Pentecost?

Those who believed what Peter said were baptized and added to the church that day—about 3,000 in all.
(Acts 2:41)


I don't see a question so I'll start one :cool:

Who is said to outlive Methuselah before the flood?

and i think you are looking for Enoch, who 'technically' outlived Methuselah since he did not die =]

And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
(Genesis 5:21-24)

Question:

who carried the tent pegs for the tabernacle? (what family, or whose sons)?

Lol well even by those standards it's still Jesus since he was a man.

You do have me mighty curious though what ya had in mind. Perhaps you have asked hardest question so far lol, but I'd still argue Jesus on greatest revival of souls, it's kinda hard to top being able to raise every single person in all time ever and wiping away the tears of all the righteous that ever lived.

Answer:

The Lord, because victory belongs to Him :)

or i think you are looking for the exiles from Israel?


Those of the Negeb shall possess Mount Esau,
and those of the Shephelah shall possess the land of the Philistines;
they shall possess the land of Ephraim and the land of Samaria,
and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.
The exiles of this host of the people of Israel
shall possess the land of the Canaanites as far as Zarephath,
and the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad
shall possess the cities of the Negeb.
Saviors shall go up to Mount Zion
to rule Mount Esau,
and the kingdom shall be the LORD’s.

(Obadiah 1:19-21)

sorry i sort of messed up the flow again -
but to repeat:


Question:

what family or whose sons carried the tent pegs for the tabernacle in the wilderness?

This one a hard question too. So I'll give a guess and leave open to others to answer or you to confirm or not. (Also I put a question before reading this so gives me one to answer while ya'll think on Obadiah's Prophecy.)

Genesis 5:22-24
[SUP]22 [/SUP]And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
[SUP]23 [/SUP]And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
[SUP]24 [/SUP]And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.

(plus this is Before the Flood ;) )

Lol dang you're too good Post! You got that one fast indeed, for that last line of the whole thing states bluntly who the kingdom shall belong to :)

This one kinda guessing at too due to translation in KJV assuming sockets and stuff is pegs.

Merari (Or the Gershonites more broadly, sons of Gershon.)

Number 4:27-33
[SUP]27 [/SUP]At the appointment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burdens, and in all their service: and ye shall appoint unto them in charge all their burdens.
[SUP]28 [/SUP]This is the service of the families of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation: and their charge shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
[SUP]29 [/SUP]As for the sons of Merari, thou shalt number them after their families, by the house of their fathers;
[SUP]30 [/SUP]From thirty years old and upward even unto fifty years old shalt thou number them, every one that entereth into the service, to do the work of the tabernacle of the congregation.
[SUP]31 [/SUP]And this is the charge of their burden, according to all their service in the tabernacle of the congregation; the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and sockets thereof,
[SUP]32 [/SUP]And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords, with all their instruments, and with all their service: and by name ye shall reckon the instruments of the charge of their burden.
[SUP]33 [/SUP]This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service, in the tabernacle of the congregation, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

aw, thanks :)
Obadiah is a short book though, and i kinda cheated because i already knew this verse by heart:
The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the LORD.
(Proverbs 21:31)

Heh nice indeed!

Also on my answer, my bad on further research Merarites were not Gershonties, simply both races were under Aaron's oversight, but were two of the races in charge of the Levitical Order. Either way though my answer is the Merarites, though I could see technical answers plausible for the Gershonties too or the sons of Aaron as the oversight specifically Ithamar

Haven't put forth a question yet myself since the other question still stands about who outlived Methusaleh before the flood for which I am guessing Enoch, but that could be wrong answer since I am looking at it like Enoch was not for he was taken.

i was thinking Enoch too ↑

and yes, "the sons of Merari" was the answer i was looking for.

isn't it cool to think that the Holy Spirit saw fit to pass down who was carrying something as seemingly inane as the tent pegs?? so whatever small service we do for God, He doesn't forget it :)

Pray in the wilderness?

Luke 5:16 So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed.

Which prophet besides Jesus revived a person thought to be dead?
