6. #7 is actually C

It wasn't until the Council of Nicaea in 325 that the New Testament was put together

11. Here's some help on 2, 4, and 8. All have the same answer.

Nobody knows.

2. Jesus probably had a variable number of apostles, coming in and out of his group over time. Later editors polished it up to 12. That would explain all the different names that pop up. Twelve is a magic number, thus attractive.

4. The 'Last Supper' might have been a Seder, might not. Nobody knows.

8. Baptism by Fire. Unknown what that was. There are many dark suspicions, no real knowledge.

Give yourself extra credit if you answered 'duh?'
