Question 1 of 5:

How many human authors contributed to the writing of the Bible over roughly 1,500 years?

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:
The Bible was written by about 40 different authors, in three languages, on three continents, over approximately 1,500 years. Despite this diversity of authors and eras, the Bible maintains a remarkable unity in its message—pointing to God’s plan of redemption through Jesus Christ.

Question 2 of 5:

Which Old Testament event involving a serpent lifted up in the wilderness is used by Jesus as a picture of His crucifixion?

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:
In Numbers 21, God instructed Moses to lift up a bronze serpent so that anyone who looked at it in faith would live. In John 3:14, Jesus explained that this event foreshadowed His crucifixion—just as the serpent was lifted up, the Son of Man would be lifted up so that those who believe in Him would have eternal life.

Question 3 of 5:

Why is the mysterious figure Melchizedek important in the Bible’s message about Jesus?

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:
Melchizedek appears briefly in Genesis 14, yet later Scripture (especially Hebrews 5–7) reveals his significance. He is described as a king and priest without recorded genealogy, symbolizing an eternal priesthood. Jesus is described as a priest “after the order of Melchizedek,” meaning His priesthood is superior and eternal, unlike the temporary Levitical priesthood.

Question 4 of 5:

What was the main purpose of the Old Testament law?

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:
The law was given to show God’s holy standard and reveal humanity’s inability to meet it. As explained in Galatians 3, the law functions as a “tutor” or “schoolmaster” leading us to Christ, helping people recognize their need for a Savior.

Question 5 of 5:

What is significant about the name “Barabbas” in the story of Jesus’ trial?

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:
The name Barabbas literally means “son of the father.” In the Gospel account, Barabbas—a guilty criminal—is released while Jesus takes his place on the cross. This powerful moment illustrates the heart of the Gospel: the innocent Son of God taking the place of guilty sinners so they can go free.

The Bible is not a loose collection of religious writings. It is one unified, interconnected message that spans centuries, continents, and more than forty authors, yet speaks with one voice.

Join us for a compelling and eye opening discussion with Eric Hovind and Pastor Rick McGough that will strengthen believers and confront skeptics with the extraordinary truth woven into every page of Scripture.

We will walk through the remarkable way Scripture weaves itself together, showing how the Old and New Testaments are linked through prophecy fulfillment and divine design in a way no human authorship could explain, revealing a level of internal consistency that makes claims of forgery collapse instantly. If you have ever been told the Bible is unreliable, contradictory, or merely a collection of myths, this conversation will challenge everything you think you know about God’s Word.
