Upcoming Bible Bee quizzes

Time Posted on July 05, 2011 User Alex Watt

The concept of Bible Bee quizzes on Memverse seems to be quite popular. :) Please mark your calendars and spread the word about upcoming quizzes: Friday, July 8, at 4:00 PM EDT; Friday, July 15, at 4:00 PM EDT; and Friday, July 22, at 4:00 PM EDT. I plan to lead the first quiz on this blog post (materials will be from Week 5, mainly Primary verses with a few Junior as well); the later two quizzes will each probably have a separate blog post to run on and other volunteers will probably run them. Update: Bethany will be running the July 22nd quiz and we are still looking for anyone who would like to run the quiz on the 15th. :) Thanks.

We expect each quiz to last about an hour and there will be fifteen questions. For ten of the questions (the first five and the last five), I will post a comment with the text of a Bible Bee verse passage in all five Bible Bee approved versions (NIV, ESV, KJV, NKJV, and NASB) and you will have a minute to post the reference. For five of the questions (they will be in the middle of the quiz), I will post a reference and you will have several minutes to respond with the reference at the beginning, the verse text in the middle, and the reference again at the end. Please also include your version to make it easier for scoring. For example, if I comment with Genesis 1:1, the correct response would be something like this:

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1 NIV

If you do not include your version in each comment, it makes it more difficult for the volunteers helping to score. Omitting a reference or your version will cost you a point for each occurrence.

You can receive a maximum of 12 points for each type of question. For details on the scoring for "recitations", please see below. For the questions where you post a reference for the verse text given, you will receive four points for the correct book, four points for the correct chapter, and four points for the correct verse number. For example, if you posted 2 John 1:9 instead of 1 John 1:9, you would receive 8 points.

Over half of the questions will be Primary verses and several may be drawn from the Junior verses.

If you would like to help score, please let me know after we finish the quiz by posting a comment with the text "helpscore" in it. Otherwise, it is difficult to keep track of who is helping. If you indicate that you would like to help score, I will have information about how to score and will assign you to a few people. You can then look for their answers on the page (CTRL + F in many browsers allows you to search and find their name and comments) and tabulate them on your computer. When you have a final score for a person, you will please post it in a comment with their name. When all scores are returned, this post will be updated with that information.

If you plan to be participating in the first quiz or have any questions, please indicate that in a comment below (unless you have already done so on the other blog post). I also welcome any suggestions. Hope to see you there! Thanks.

How we score recitations: The maximum score for a recitation is 12 points. Like the Bible Bee, leaving off a reference at the beginning or end of a "recitation" is a 1-point deduction, as is any one word error (one word omission, insertion, or change - like swapping "created" for "made"). You see above the correct response for reciting Genesis 1:1. Here is a 6-point recitation in NIV:

In the beginning He created the earth and heavens. Genesis 1:1

We start with 12 points, then evaluate the recitation: one point is subtracted for forgetting the reference at the beginning, another point is subtracted for using "He" in place of "God", two points are subtracted for switching "heavens" and "earth" (it was two one-word changes) and another point for leaving out "the" (second-to-last word). Additionally, we subtract a point because the response did not include the version. Please note that you cannot count more than 12 errors - i.e., no one ends up with a negative score on a passage. If you want to help score but have questions on how this works, please ask us for clarification.

Update: Thanks to Zachary Baas, Sarah, Phil Walker, AmyV, Hannah Cupcake, Simeon, Christian Alexander, and Rachel Crosswhite for helping with scoring. Below are the point totals. We even had a three-way tie (see the 88 pointers)! You all did great. I was impressed that we had contestants from Primary Timothy Track to Senior National Track and I think almost everywhere in between. I recognize that not all of you had to study some of these verses, but you all did fantastic! Congratualations! May every word that comes from the mouth of God truly be our bread. I want to highlight a quote from C.S. Lewis that was also part of our Sword Study recently:

[T]he Church exists for nothing else but to draw men into Christ, to make them little Christs. If they are not doing that, all the cathedrals, clergy, missions, sermons, even the Bible itself, are simply a waste of time. God became Man for no other purpose. It is even doubtful, you know, whether the whole universe was created for any other purpose.

Lewis, C.S. Mere Christianity. New York: HarperOne, 1980. Print.

May our study of Scripture be diligent and may it lead others to Jesus. If we are keeping it to ourselves, it is tragically a waste of time. But if we are doing it for God and letting the Truth influence every area of our lives so that others are being drawn to Him, it is because He has begun a work in us that He will continue to use for His glory (Phil 1:6), and that is no waste! Keep it up, all!

Josiah - 20 points
Simeon - 28 points
Simeon's sister - 28 points
Lauren Watt - 28 points
Olivia - 36 points
Clara K. - 36 points
BrookeNicole - 60 points
Ranch4Christ - 72 points
Rachel - 74 points
Emma - 88 points
Jamie - 88 points
BibleBeeJunior11 - 88 points
Hannah Cupcake - 89 points
Angela - 96 points
Phil Walker - 102 points
Rachel Crosswhite - 108 points
Sarah - 108 points
ChampionBuilders - 120 points
SavedByGrace - 132 points
Abigail Grace - 139 points
AmyV - 148 points
Christian Alexander - 150 points
Zachary Baas - 156 points

Thanks to Christian Alexander for catching a scoring mistake I made: I was giving 15 points maximum for references. This should be fixed now. If anyone else notices any errors, please let us know and we will work to rectify it as quickly as possible. Thanks.

I plan to be here for whatever ones you have. We don't usually have much going on on Fridays, so I hope to attend. I'm having a little bit of trouble keeping up with the large amount of verses I have to memorize, but I'll do my best to catch up in time for Friday's quiz!

Yes, actually. :D :D I was actually thinking about asking you sometime if you comment on the Odyssey Scoop. I recognized the way you talk in some of the commenters.

Not only do I comment there, but I have an Odyssey blog listed in the Odyssey Scoop's "Links Outward" page. My blog is The Voice of Odyssey at http://www.thevoiceofodyssey.blogspot.com.

I plan to be taking material mainly from Week 5 Primary and some Junior. We already did Week 1. :)

Jennifer - A Bible Bee quiz on Memverse is where somebody (the "quiz host") asks questions from the recent Bible Bee study. You can see how we did it last week: http://www.memverse.com/blog/main/July_1_Bible_Bee_quiz?page=1. The quiz host posts questions in the comments section and everyone else uses the comments to answer the question. When the entire quiz is over, volunteers help to score everyone's responses. Let me know of any other questions. Hope to see you there!

@Alex: I'm not sure, and, Jennifer, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Jennifer's problem is that she's not in the Bible Bee, and she didn't understand what this was.

@Jennifer: If that's the case, this is a quiz directed toward those in the 2011 National Bible Bee. There are 12 weeks of verses in Primary, Junior, and Senior catergories. That's where all these terms come from.

I wish I could be there for the next two quizzes but I'll be busy for the next two Fridays. Hope you all have a great time doing it. I should be able to make the quizzes after these two.

@Jennifer - Are you doing the Bible Bee? If so what age group are you in?

@Brooke Nicole - What age group are you in? I'm in the Junior division.

I can't wait to see all your scores.

Yes Christian you are right I did not know what Bible Bee was. Now I see. I am actually an adult Christian leader for my church and use Memverse to help me study and memorize Scripture as I feel that a Church leader should be doing. I saw this blog and was not sure what it was. I think that it is a neat idea for today's youth to be hiding God's Word. Our group of churches through youth program have a similar type of thing called Quiz Team. I love to see the enthusiasm that you have. Keep up the good work.

YAY oh YAY!!! Another Bible Bee Quiz!! I have a goal, and it is.......... :)

I will be at the July 8th, and probably at the 15th as well....Lord willing :) I am not sure about the 22nd, because my Mom is expecting and due on the 26th, {{happy dance}} and...well you never know! Maybe she'll go early! :D Anyway, I'll be at the one on the 8th and on the 15th, let you know about the 22nd :)

THANK YOU SO MUCH for these FUNNER THAN FUN Bible Bee quizes! I LOVE them :)

@Alex Watt - I have a few questions...
1. About posting your version - do I need to put it in every comment if I have it on my name?
2. What verse weeks will you be focusing on, if I may ask?
3. Could you try to pick a few more Timothy Track verses? I've read many comments here on the blog asking the same question from Tim. Track contestants...just wondering :)

Thanks for answering my many questions :)
So long!

Grace - Thanks for letting me know. I hope you are still able to make it. :) I will keep you posted on upcoming quizzes based on the dates you had given earlier...

Bethany - Since Grace has decided she better not plan to host the quiz on the 22nd, I would appreciate if you did that one. Don't worry about the 29th yet. Like Sarah said, you pick verses from the week, so in your case it is Week 7, I think. Thanks.

Rachel Crosswhite - I recognize it is extremely difficult to wade through all these comments, but I did mention that we will be focusing on Week 5. I guess I should mention that in the blog post. :) As far as version, if it is in your name, that is good enough; and I will use all the Timothy Track questions I possibly can from Week 5 for Primary. If I need Junior verses (almost certainly will), I will try to see if I can make those be Timothy Track also. Thanks!

Ashley - You are registered as much as you need to be, however, I just want to make sure it is clear that you do have to be "logged in"/"signed in" to your account when you participate. :) Otherwise it will not allow you to comment.

Thanks everyone and I look forward to "seeing" you Friday!

@Alex and everybody else: I won't be here. I think it would cut down time if there was a program that tested you individually. It wouldn't be as fun, but I think it would be more efficient. What do ya'll think?

@Jamie Yes, I do swim on a swim team. I live in Butler, PA. My swim team's name is Alameda Gators. And by the way we WON THE SWIM MEET!!!!!!!!! I won 2 of my events and we were REALLY close with the other team in the free relay. We won by 2 points!!! But we couldn't throw the coaches in right then because one girl on our team had a HUGE asma attack. The ambulance came, but I don't think she had to go to the hospital. I think the ambulance was just to be safe. I just got back from our fun day!!!! We went down the water slides, jumped off the diving boards, threw the coaches in the pool, and played sharks and minnows!! In sharks and minnows I was like 6th place. And my older sister, Abbi, was 3rd or 4th. AND Abbi didn't really ever get tagged! People said she did so she didn't pick a fight. My younger sister is at Seneca Hills (a summer camp) and my Dad and Abbi our going on a camping trip with some other people. I will get Mom all to myself for about 21 hours!!! Can't wait for the quiz!!!!!!! Matthew, I like it how it is, and you can always go back over the quiz and test yourself! That's what I did with the June test! But I couldn't score my self because I don't know how. : (

@ Alex: I tried to ask this via the Feedback or Help & Support buttons, but neither would let me sign in with my Google Account as I have before, so I'll ask you here:

With Matthew 6:9, when I'm being tested, for some reason, after I write, "This then is how you should pray:", I am made to write the quotation marks before I can write "Our father." I can deal with it, and it's not a big problem, but I just thought I should report it.

That is sooooo cool are team won as well!! We Got to push our coaches in, and one was even HIDDING!!!! We only didn't push one of our coaches because she hurt her leg.

Christian - Yes, that has happened several times to me also. I'm going to report an error with the verse. What happens is people sometimes enter verses with two quotation marks with spaces, like this:

" '

When it should be like this:

But it's not a big deal. Maybe in a few days it will be fixed. :) Thanks!

@ Alex: I was wondering if you're okay with us using these comments as sort-of a mini-social-network. That seems to be what the comments are mainly used for except for on quiz days, so I just wanted to make sure you're okay with that. I figure it's probably not so good for Friday when we'll have to be constantly refreshing the page, so if you have a problem, please let us know.

@ BibleBeeJunior11: Smae here! XD

I'm on the odyssey scoop too, but haven't checked it recently. Probably because I haven't seen that many and all of the people on there have watched the latest ones and are posting about it, so it's kinda hard to find places to post. Ooh, i wish i had a gravatar account! I think my mom is going to sign me up soon!

By the way, does anyone know how to change your name on memverse? I have seen it before and i can't find it now >_<

YEESS!!! I finally memorized my first four verses today!! It was so cool to see just a little bit of green on my progress chart, even if it's not much. By tomorrow, I'll be on Level 3 because I'll have memorized my first five verses!

Great job, SBG! I remember when I "memorized" my first verses! I was so happy! Keep up the good work!

EDIT: My sister, Olivia, commented saying that she is going to be doing the quiz today. Is there any way that we can have her comment and all her future comments approved? She has 9 verses in her account.

I also, unexpectedly, memorized my first verses today. It's only three, but just like SBG said, it's great to finally see some green on the chart and to see some verses classified as memorized.

NIV – Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.

NASB – Who is a God like You, who pardons iniquity and passes over the rebellious act of the remnant of His possession? He does not retain His anger forever, because He delights in unchanging love. He will again have compassion on us; He will tread our iniquities under foot. Yes, You will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

ESV – Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity and passing over transgression for the remnant of his inheritance? He does not retain his anger forever, because he delights in steadfast love. He will again have compassion on us; he will tread our iniquities underfoot. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.

KJV – Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy. He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

Question #4

NIV – When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

NASB – They *came to Jesus and *observed the man who had been demon-possessed sitting down, clothed and in his right mind, the very man who had had the “legion”; and they became frightened.

ESV – And they came to Jesus and saw the demon-possessed man, the one who had had the legion, sitting there, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid.

KJV – And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

NKJV - Then they came to Jesus, and saw the one who had been demon-possessed and had the legion, sitting and clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid.
