+Cornerstone4 Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 This contest is for a Satin Gold finish version of my new coin. Only 5 were made with this finish! I figured if I was going to have a contest, I may as well make it a Bible trivia contest! This may be painfully easy for you. With Google, it's hard to come up with anything that a quick search won't yield...but here we go... I'm thinking of two people that were killed "playing" with fire... What are their names, and who were they? (There may be several that fit the above description...but you have to post the two that I am thinking of...) First post here get's the coin. No editing please. 1 guess every 10 minutes. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment

+scavok Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Woah, really? I don't actually think it was all that easy, their story is just memorable from way back when because they played with (strange) fire after being told not too, and they got burned because of it! My first cointest win, thanks!! Quote Link to comment

+Cornerstone4 Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 Ok, I tried to be a bit more obscure...but it's hard. There are so many complete Bible texts online that it's hard! I gave serious thought to Yime's idea...NOT. So, here you go...a three part question...of course, that means I'll pony up three coins! 1 each of Gold, Nickel, and Copper finish. 1.- I am thinking of the name of a son of a concubine. 2.- What was discussed being being caught with a fishhook? 3.- There is a reference to Jesus' inscription...what AND where is it? Thats all for now! No editing, and one post per 5 minutes. Good luck. Quote Link to comment

+mousekakat Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 1. Abemelech 2. The Leviathan 3. 2 Timothy 2:19 14Keep reminding them of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen. 15Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. 16Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. 17Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, 18who have wandered away from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some. 19Nevertheless, God's solid foundation stands firm, sealed with this inscription: "The Lord knows those who are his,"[a] and, "Everyone who confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from wickedness."
