I often find (at least I think) good trivia questions throughout my reading. Was going to see if anyone was interested in participating in a Bible Trivia thread. Pretty simple. Try and answer trivia questions people post without looking. Try and post stumpers. Etc. I'll start.

on memory, they gathered fruits and honey for 40 days or explored the promise land and reported back the walls of the cities were fortified with walls and strong men. 10 of the 12 recommended not to take the land, too difficult.


They wandered the dessert for 40 yrs, I believe that was to bring up a new generation of warriors.

After the 40 years

What tribe did Moses have all the captured non virgin women and boys slaughtered on the banks of the Jordan across from Jericho as directed by God?

You should fear God.

Depends on how you define "fear". Especially when God has revealed himself through Jesus.

1 John 4:18

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

This is almost a trick question. The answer is it depends on which Bible you're talking about.

If you are walking with God, you have no reason to fear him. That makes sense doesn't it. If you are walking in the flesh, there comes a time where he leaves you to your on devices. That is a place you should fear.

Agree. But you posted you should fear God. As believers, we do not need to. And imho, that attitude of condemnation has caused many a stumble.

I think the word fear gets taken a bit out of context. people think of the word fear like they think of terror...but its more like.. the way we should fear water or the ocean. It's not that you should avoid it, in fact it's imperative for life and comfort, but we should respect the great power and the fact that it can/is dangerous in many aspects. awe and respect and an attempt of understanding.

Good one. Gad? And half the tribe of Manasseh

Agree completely. I equate it as to how I viewed my father. I respected him and most of all never wanted to disappoint him, But I knew he loved me and any discipline was for my own good.

I feel sorry for kids who did not have that experience growing up.
