Are you? Or are you being just as sarcastic as you clearly were immediately
below?

Clear sarcasm. And no, I do not have to look it up.

Sorry that you don't know how His Word itself proves you wrong here. Did you
really not know this? Did you really not know that Christ Himself upbraids
the
Scribes and Pharisees for having a detailed knowledge of the minutiae of
Scripture, but missing the spirit of it entirely?

If you did not know this, 'Wrighteous', then you are in no position to teach
anything about Scripture to anyone. Somehow, I find this easy to believe.

Here is where Christ upbraided them for this most clearly (but there are
other
places, too):

You search the scriptures, because you THINK that
in them you have eternal life; and it is they
that bear witness to me; (Joh 5:39 RSVA)

Do you see it now, 'Wrighteous'? They knew the letter of Scripture forwards
and
backwards. Their spiritual descendants still do. They even play this game
where
Talmudic scholars challenge each others knowledge like this: player A picks
up a
copy of Torah and sticks a pin in it. He then calls out a page number, and
the
other students try to name the word the pin passed through. And they get it
right!

But you see, they know Scripture that well, and yet STILL miss that the
Scriptures bear witness to Christ! Unfortunately, your 'quizzes' encourage
only
the same _kind_ of knowledge, and not even to their impressive degree.

The Holy Spirit is "able to use" lots of things. But some of these things
are
our mistakes. Your quizzes fit into this latter category. Don't expect any
