THE AMERICAN BIBLE CHALLENGE!!!
 
The Bible Belts, Devoted Divas and the Heartland Guards are ready for the 1st of 2 semis. One of these 2 will get another $20K, while the other 2 will say adios. The finals for $100,000 will have a home for them, but first, tehy got one hurdle to get over, so take your mark, get set....
 
LET THE CHALLENGE COMMENCE!!!!!
 
First off....
 
REAL HOUSEWIVES OF THE O.T.
 
That of course, is Old Testament. Let's test your knowledge of wives in the Bible.
 
1. Which housewife made a move on a handsome servant, then framed him for a crime he didn't commit- Pilate's wife, Potiphar's wife, Paul's wife or David Beckham's wife?
 
The Divas strike first with Potipar's wife. Next one....
 
2. Which housewife lounged under a palm tree judging people & starting wars- Deborah, Delilah, Dorcas or Paula Abdul?
 
Deborah is the answer. 2 for 2, Devoted Divas!
 
3. Which housewife flipped out on a road trip w/ her husband & went after her son w/ a knife- Marge Simpson, Zipporah, Esther or Martha?
 
The Guards stop the bleeding of the Divas' streak with Zipporah. We move on to......
 
ANCIENT E-VITES
 
It's Meetup.....but biblically challenged. First event.....
 
 A: Come celebrate our victory over mass slaughter!
B: Mark your Jewish calendar for 14th & 15th day of Adar.

 
The Guards say it's Passover, but it's not it. What's the rest?
 
C: It's a day of gladness, feasting & gift-giving galore.
 
The Belts finally get in with the Feast of Purim or Lois. Next event......
 
A: When: 10th Day of the 7th Month
B: We'll be sacrificing one butt, one ram and two goats!

C: We'll put all our sins on one goat and set it free! Yeah!
D: A day for making it right with the Lord
 
The Guards get it back with Day of Atonement. Last event.....
 
A: 50 days after the Offering of Firstfruits
 
The Belts take a quick zap with Feast of Pentecost or Festival of Weeks. New game. Ready for it? It's called.......
 
PIECES BE WITH YOU
 
Here's why.
 
Everyone had a puzzle that could either be put together as Baal, Balaam or Bill (Clinton). 
 
So let's put these pieces together.
 
1. Vetoed a request by Moabite officials
 
The Belts start out with Balaam.
 
2. Famously denied breaking one of The Ten Commandments
 
The Belts get it again with Bill Clinton.
 
3. Worshipped by Amorites
 
Baal gives the other 2 a shutout. Nice takedown, boys. Next round is.....
 
KIRK'S RIGHTEOUS REMIX
 
Today it's.....B.B. KING OF KINGS. The Guards will kick it off with.....
 
 Instead of stone, what did the people build the Tower of Babel with?
 
They shoot a floater with Bricks. Nicely done. The Belts have this.....
 
What oddly-named land did Job live in?
 
We're....off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of....UZ. Yes! The Divas wrap it up with.....
 
According to Verse 1:1, the Book of Ecclesiastes was written by the son of what king?
 
It's....David. Yes! Guess the blues can't be so bad after all. Next is.....
 
YAHWEH OR NO WAY
 
It's 1 or the other. 1 wrong move and it's game over for you. The Guards start it off.
 
. Josiah's the shortest book of The Old Testament
 
No way....YES WAY!
 
2. The angel Gabriel told John the Baptist's father what to name his child?-
 
No Way?......NO! YAHWEH. Game over, boys. The Belts are next.
 
Adam had a brother.
 
No WAY?.....OF COURSE he doesn't. They stop right here at 950. The Divas are last to play.
 
1. The famous two-word phrase "Jesus wept" appeared in the story of Lazarus' death.
 
Could it be Yahweh......YES! Can they take the lead?.......NO. NO? Okay then. They'll stop to prevent this from going into the final round. Here's your next game.....
 
THE CHOSEN THREE
 
It's the part where one person plays a question with 3 answers.......and that's all. The Belts have this question....
 
 According to Proverbs 30, which three of these are "too amazing" to understand- deer on the hills, eagle in the sky, fireflies at night, ship on the sea, snake on a rock or wind in the trees?
 
They get Eagle, but.....no-no-no for deer & wind. The 2 correct ones were: Ship & Snake. The Guards are next. Question, please?
 
Which three of these names are mentioned in more than one book of The Bible- Joel, Habakkuk, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Obadiah or Malachi?
 
They get Jeremiah, but Ezekiel & Malachi.....isn't it. The other 2 names were: Joel & Obidiah. The Divas can get in with just a clean sweep. The question is.....
 
Which three of these were sons born to Jacob & Leah- Reuben, Judah, Joseph, Dan, Gad or Issachar?
 
Reuben, Issachar & Judah are the choices..................................YES! In they go to the finale. The Guards will turn in their badges with $2500 on top of $20K. Only one of these 2 teams will hit the finals. The subject at hand.....
 
THE HOLY SPIRIT
 
The Bible Study Showdown will commence with the notable absence of Bobby Bones & The Raging Idiots.
 
The Belts get in 60 Tick-tocks.....
 
9. Can the Divas get 10?....................................................no. They only got 7, the Belts kickstart into the finals? The Divas will take away $5000 for the trouble.
 
We're off next week, but in 2 weeks, the rest of the postseason. Until I see you again.....
 
THOU SHALT SEE YOU NEXT WEEK!!!!!!
