Is Ultimate Bible sort of like Ultimate Marvel where they re-started all the major books from scratch to try and clean up certain inconsistencies and contradictions and make the storylines more coherent? If not, then they should totally do that.

Then you should comment this on all the 'Ultimate World Cities' quizzes as well. You're really just out to take a cheap shot at the Bible.

Do you mind being a little easier on the spelling of Bartimaeus? I tried about ten different ways of spelling it before giving up.

There are more than one Joseph answer in this quiz. In the Bible he is mentioned with the "of Aramithea" tagline each time. I think it is fitting to require the entire name.

Is there a way to not fill it in for you on easy to spell names? There were quite a few that cost me time because of this. I don't remember specifically which ones, but when you type in Jesu and then it prefills but you keep typing, that s becomes S in front of your next answer.

That happens on many of these quizzes, not just this one. It taught me to pause and look in the box for any dangling letters. Has only impelled me to use the "untimed" button instead of driving myself insane.

Jesus Christ built his church on himself, not Peter - Matthew 16:18 (https://biblehub.com/commentaries/matthew/16-18.htm and https://www.gotquestions.org/upon-this-rock.html).
