How many Apostles were there?
Mark 3:18; Simon, James, John, Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James, Thaddaeus, Simon, Judas, for the original 12.
After the death of Judas, the remaining Apostles cast lots, and Matthias ( Acts 1:25-26) was chosen to replace him, to make 13.
Later Saul/Paul is also called an Apostle (1 Co. 15:9) to make 14..

Reading Scripture word by word, what does Jesus save us from?

Many say hell, death, etc, which are all true, but we are specifically saved from our sins.

Matthew 1:21: "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins."

The correct answer is: our sins.

This is not really a [i]trivia[/i] question, but rather, a riddle that I heard once:

[b]What is greater than God?
More evil than the devil?
The rich need it.
The poor have it.
And if you eat it, you will die?[/b]

v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^v^

Answer: [b][i]Nothing[/b][/i]!

[b]Nothing[/b] is greater than God!
[b]Nothing[/b] is more evil than the Devil.
The rich need [b]nothing[/b].
The poor have [b]nothing[/b].
And if you eat [b]nothing[/b], you will die.
