The answer is always B - 7/8/08 - "He saved us"

Haven't done this for a while!

Which is the correct wording of Titus 3:4-7?

A. But when we'd done enough good works to satisfy God, he saved us, because of all the righteous things we had done, not so much because of his mercy. He saved us, through our careful washing of our souls everyday, and through proving ourselves to be good and faithful servants. He made sure that we had poured our lives out in generous giving (especially to our local churches), so that having been justified by our generosity and good works, he might grudgingly accept us into his kingdom.

B. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.

C. His hard drive crashed and he had forgotten to save his work. Ooops!

The answer is always B - Special Edition

I'm not going to stay on this for very long, either in my blog posts or in the comments, but since this has been a part of the conversation lately, I just thought I'd throw this in. This is for "fun," but yet it is a very serious matter.

What is the correct wording of this post-cross, post-resurrection scene recorded in Acts 16:29-31?

A. Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. And he brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" So they said, "Hey, be cool, my man! Chill. Don't worry about it. Just look within. Everyone is saved. The kingdom of God is within you."

B. Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. And he brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" So they said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household." (NKJV)

C. "Save the Last Dance for Me."

Bonus question!

What is the correct wording of 2 Corinthians 2:15-16?

A. For we are to God the fragrance of Christ. What a sweet smell for everyone!

B. For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. (NKJV)

C. Smells Like Nirvana (thanks Weird Al!)

Going back to the beginning of time, before dinosaurs, for this one. ;)

What's the correct wording of this passage from Genesis 2?

B. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." (Gen 2:16-17 NKJV)

C. See no evil, hear no evil!

The answer is always B - 2/16/08

Well, pick me up off the floor, I can't remember the correct wording of Galatians 5:4! Is it:

A. "You have become estranged from Christ, you who have committed too many sins; you have fallen from grace."

B. "You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace."

C. "I've fallen and I can't get up!"
