'Jesus was the first Christian', some people might think ~ but even that isn't actually true: why not?All the following reasons are valid apart from ONE: which is this one FALSE argument?

The ICHTHUS ('Christian Fish') symbol, which is a Greek acronym, refers to Jesus' disciples becoming 'fishers of men' and to His reported Feeding of the Five Thousand

The first, designated leader of the Christians was Peter, the fisher-disciple, who stood before the crowd on the morning of Pentecost

St Paul was responsible for founding and nurturing Christian communities ('churches') more or less all round the north-eastern shores of the Mediterranean and inland from them. As with question 1, all of the following are broadly true about him apart from ONE. Which is the one FALSE description?

By way of a 'day job', he was a tent-maker

He had begun as a fanatically anti-Christian, radical Jew

He also held lifelong Roman citizenship, which he used to advantage on various occasions

He was 'converted' during a series of secret meetings with St Peter

As mentioned above, Paul then travelled extensively (in terms of available transport some 2,000 years ago) and had his fair share of thrills and spills 'on the road for Jesus', including a hair-raising shipwreck ~ the then-equivalent of a major train or plane crash ~ on the island of Malta. In the small hours of his final night during a visit to Troas, Paul reportedly brought back a young man from the dead in surprising circumstances: what had happened?

Eutychus was a young Christian follower who had been fatally injured after being crushed by a Roman army cart, while he was out and about doing errands for other believers who were housebound

Eutychus was randomly attacked by a madman and bled to death; Paul returned him to life and also healed the madman of his 'demons'

The name of Henri Dunant may not be instantly familiar to you, but three of the following four items about him are true and will set him in perspective for you. Which ONE of the following contains significant FALSE detail?

He was the first recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize

He was moved to particular action after witnessing the immediate after-effects of the Battle of Solferino in 1859

As a Swiss citizen (whose national flag he 'reversed-out' to give the Red Cross), he was a lifelong Christian in the Calvinist tradition

Which of the following is NOT true of Martin Luther King?

He was an Afro-American Baptist minister from Alabama

He had been brought up in a strong Christian family environment, and never had any serious doubts about his faith or calling

Besides his church and other civil-rights activities, he sprang to public notice as the de-facto leader of a boycott against segregation on the public bus system at Montgomery in the mid-1950s

In common with his Saviour Jesus (as he might himself have put it), he died an unnatural death before the age of 40; in his case, to an assassin's bullet

Pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer may seem another obscure name to you, but the answers offered below give a thumbnail biography of him ~ except the ONE which contains at least one outright falsehood or fabrication. Which is this odd one out?

He was executed in the Nazi camp at Flossenburg just 3 weeks prior to Adolf Hitler's death by suicide; he had also lost one brother and two brothers-in-law to the Nazis

A German evangelical church in London is named in his memory
