Most Mentioned Bible Characters Quiz

What's the criteria for including someone on the list? It might help to know this. :-)

Hard to believe God or satan aren't mentioned more than 41 times.

Not bad at 18/50, but I don't think I'll ever be able to forgive myself for forgetting Paul.

1/50. I'm not very religeous. I only got Jesus.

I'm an atheist... just plugged in a bunch of common names and got a few.

18/50 - can't believe I missed Judah when that's my dog's name :( #fail

i thought judah was judas :(

Remember that this is not about the most widely known or most popular characters. It is about the characters that are mentioned the most times in the Bible. Also even though Satan is not mentioned by name that often he is much more than a bit part in the bible.

23/50 I hadn't even heard of most of the people I missed.

5/50 :x It amuses me that some quiz takers have forgotten about Jesus :D

Aren't Paul and Saul technically the same person?

Though Paul and Saul are the same person they were completely different personalities altogether so theyre mentioned seperately

their are two Sauls in the bible. the first king of israel before david and saul who changed his name to paul

23/50. I can't believe I missed my own name.

Mine's number 2 on the list - hard to miss that one.

Could you allow some alternative spellings? (like Job/Jobe/Pilot)

Pilot is incorrect. It is technically Pontius Pilatus, which is where Pilate comes from. But Job is the correct spelling. I have no clue where he got Joab.

Joab isn't Job. Joab was a nephew of King David and a captain in his army.

Tough because you don't think of all the "character actors" you're always glossing over in Bible stories.

Saul was also a king from the old testament

thats it - just got the common ones... proud of myself!

Yeah Saul and Paul are two seperate people also! Saul was the first ever king of Israel. But then the Saul of the New Testament had his name later changed to Paul, the name by which he was most well know. He completely ditched the name Saul and so to call him by that name would be odd...

I got 9, that's all Dan Brown could teach me

Yeah, I was kind of floored that Mary wasn't on there.

yeah, job should work, put pilot too, and nebuchadnezzer is a killer name, tried couple ways....also I'm an idiot and spelled isaac issac and rachel rachael...

How come not all 100 % got Jesus?

What about Mary?

There is something about Mary!

30/50

Its embarassing that i missed david and my name is david

Joseph made it but Mary didnt...lol

Joseph is a major character in Genesis chapters 37-50, that's why he's on there and not Mary.

Saul refers to KIng Saul. Paul refers to Paul of Tarsas, before and after his name change. It's most popular CHARACTERS, not names.

I'm also surprised about Mary (at least one of them) not making the list, but even more so about Adam, because he is also mentioned repeatedly in the New Testament. Joab is not an alternative spelling for Job, but a completely different person, the leader of king David's armies.

"Zadok" was mentioned more times than Mary, Miriam, Judas Iscariot, Herod, Adam, Eve, or Lot? Who the heck is Zadok? or Balak for that matter?

or Pharoah. I guessed him, too. Was he not mentioned 41 times or is he not included because they don't actually give his name?

You mean Mel Gibson isn't in there?

This is a great quiz. Surprised that so many like Abraham and Mary aren't on this quiz.

Abraham actually is on this list.

Might help to allow 'Rachael'.

Muslims believe that Muhammad was mentioned 34 times in the Bible. But... well... they also believe that he literally split the moon in half, so...
