Christmas IQ Quiz
Dr. Ray Pritchard - Author, Speaker, President of Keep Believing Ministries

How well do you know the Christmas story?Most of us know the general outline because we've heard or sung it or watched it being enacted in the Christmas programs that most churches offer during December. We know about the shepherds, the angels, the "Wise Men," the star, the innkeeper, the long journey of Mary and Joseph, the baby in the manger, and we know about the gold, frankincense and myrrh. But how much of what we know is tradition and how much comes from the Bible?

For the last several years David Langerfeld, Associate Pastor of Harrisburg Baptist Church in Tupelo, has been giving a Christmas IQ Test to his Sunday School class. I should warn you that this is a tough quiz. When I took it, I missed several questions. Try taking it first without checking the Bible to see how well you know the real Christmas story.

Click here to read the answers (along with a few additional comments from me).

1. Joseph was originally from... (Luke 2:3 Online Bible)
A. Bethlehem
B. Nazareth
C. Hebron
D. Jerusalem
E. None of the above

2. What does the Bible say that the Innkeeper said to Mary and Joseph? (Luke 2:7 Online Bible)
A. "There is no room in the inn."
B. "I have a stable you can use."
C. "Come back later and I should have some vacancies."
D. Both A and B
E. None of the above

I missed 4. I thought when I started that I was going to do very well, but then I missed the very first one, because I thought Joseph had to go to Bethlehem because he was "of the house and lineage of David," rather than because he was born there. I definitely missed the snow question--that was the trickiest of trick questions. You could have the whole story from both Matthew and Luke memorized word for word and still have no idea about that one.

I got 12 right. And I think that's ok because there were too many trick questions.

I got them all right! But I have the advantage of having taken this quiz a few other times, years ago.

I only got 12!
I would have gotten more if I hadn't been looking for tricks.
That made me doubt my own answers so I changed them.

I missed 5. I got all of them right that were labeled "trick", but I thought others were tricky.

Missed only 3. And I wasn't tripped up by the trick questions, either.

Agreed. 12/21 here. There's no way to know absolutely 100% for certain that Mt. Hermon was covered with snow at the time. I'm giving myself credit for that question...I got 13/21 and therefore got a passing grade!
