Anniversary Quiz

Dateline: April 14, 1999

This week I'm going to do a little something different. I'm just about at the one year anniversary of this site going live on The About.com, and I thought I'd post a set of questions - one for each month of the past year. There are no prizes, but you should post your answers to the Bulletin Board and we'll find out who knows the most - or at least who is fastest in digging through the articles to find answers. No fair using the search function! All questions are based on information which I have provided each week, so you should be able to find answers without too much difficulty...

1. Who wrote:

You say you're supposed to be nice to the Episcopalians and the Presbyterians and the Methodists and this, that and the other thing. Nonsense! I don't have to be nice to the spirit of the Antichrist.

2. What is Richard Ganulin doing that makes him so famous & important?

3. Who wrote

It appears to me that they who in proof of any assertion rely simply on the weight of any authority, without adducing any argument in support of it, act very absurdly. I, on the other hand, wish to be allowed to freely question and to freely answer without any sort of adulation, as well becomes those who are sincerely in search of truth.

 

4. Who are the Gush Enumin?

Quote of the week: The ne plus ultra of wickedness is embodied in what is commonly presented to mankind as the creed of Christianity. John Stuart Mill (1806-1873)

5. What is the name of the New York City public school teacher who prayed with her students in class and was promptly fired? She also told the entire class that a deceased student was indeed in heaven and that Jesus was a savior who came to save all the human race so that they might also go to heaven.

6. Who wrote De Revolutionibus Orbium Caelestium? What is it's significance?

7. Next year will be the year 2000 in Western calendars. What will it be on calendars of some other cultures?

8. What is the Field of Blackbirds? What happened there?

9. Who wrote:

The Freedom which Christianity gives, is a Freedom from the Bondage of Sin and Satan, and from the Dominion of Men's Lusts and Passions and inordinate Desires; but as to their outward Condition, whatever that was before, whether bond or free, their being baptized, and becoming Christians, makes no manner of Change in it.

10. Who wrote:

Religion is by its nature authoritative and final as to first principles. It must be so or it would be valueless.

There is no need to attempt the impossible task of reasoning your way to first principles. Those principles are accepted as given by God.

11. Who has built an artificial system simulating the environment at undersea thermal vents, thus producing building blocks of life? What is the significance of this?

12. Where in the bible can you find

Slaves, accept the authority of your masters with all deference, not only those who are kind and gentle but also those who are harsh. For it is a credit to you if, being aware of God, you endure pain while suffering unjustly. If you endure when you are beaten for doing wrong, what credit is that? But if you endure when you do right and suffer for it, you have God's approval.
