I'm sure he said something, but there is absolutely no record of
him speaking at all. |
F |
The number of wise men is not mentioned. They were not kings. |
F |
What little drummer boy? There is no mention of a drummer boy in
the Bible. |
T |
It appeared above the house where Joseph's family was living (Matthew
2:9-11). |
T |
Rahab was a prostitute, David & Uriah's wife were adulterers,
Tamar & Judah committed incest, and Ruth was from Moab. Matthew 1:3,5,6. |
F |
Trick question. Mary was first, but we don't know the name of the
angel who appeared to Joseph (Matthew 1:20). It might have been Harold. You know, "Hark the Harold Angel Sings." |
F |
A donkey does not appear any where in the Biblical account. She
probably walked. |
T |
Yep. Luke 2:1-5. |
F |
Apparently not. The wise men saw the star in the east (Matthew 2:2).
But it did not take them to Jerusalem. In Jerusalem they asked for directions. Once leaving Jerusalem the star appeared again
and led them to the house in Bethlehem (Matthew 2:9). |
T |
The wise men arrive sometime after Jesus is born (Matthew 2:1).
Jesus is called a child, rather than a baby (Matthew 2:11). He may have been as old as two (Matthew 2:7,16). |
F |
Actually God sent an army of warrior angels. See Luke 2:13. "Company"
and "host" are military terms. |
F |
In first century B.C., shepherding was close to what we would
consider garbage collecting. Shepherds were unable to remain ritually pure according to Pharisaic laws and so were considered
unclean. Yet God chose them for His birth announcement! |
T |
Yes. See Matthew 1:21 and Luke 1:31. In Judaism, babies were always
named by their father. Here we see God the Father (not Joseph) giving Jesus his name. By the way, "Jesus" is the Greek form
of the Hebrew name "Joshua," the successor of Moses. (Joshua means "Yahweh saves"). |
F |
All
Jerusalem was disturbed by this news of a new king (Matthew 2:3). |
F |
Jesus was in a house by this time (Matthew 2:11). |
T |
Correct. They were excited! They did not hesitate. They did not
stop at Starbucks, they did not pass "Go" and stop to collect their $200! Luke 2:15-16. |
T |
Yes. His obedience was quick, cheerful and complete. Matthew 1:24. |
F |
They went to see the baby right away, they spread the word, and
they praised God for what they had been permitted to see and hear. No doubt there. Luke 2:15-20. |
