Bible Brain Twister

By John Kezer

    I once made a remark about the hidden books of the Bible.  It was a lulu, kept people looking so hard for facts, and for others it was a revelation.  Some were in a jam, especially since the names of the books are not capitalized, but the truth finally struck home to numbers of readers.  To others, it was a real job.  We want it to be a most fascinating few moments for you.  Yes, there will be some really easy ones to spot.  Others may require judges to help them.  I will quickly admit it usually takes a minister to find one of the 17, and there will be loud lamentations when it is found.  A little lady says she brews a cup of tea so she can concentrate better.  See how well you can compete.  Relax now, for there really are the names of 17 books of the Bible in these sentences.  (One preacher found 16 books in 20 minutes.  It took him three weeks to find the seventeenth one.)

Meditation 1

   At a certain college there was a professor with a reputation for being tough on Christians.  At the first class, every semester, he asked if anyone was a Christian and proceeded to degrade them and to mock their statement of faith.

   One semester, he asked the question and a young man raised his hand.  The professor asked, "Did God make everything young man?"

    He replied "Yes sir he did!"

    The professor responded, "If God made everything, then he made evil"

   The student didn't have a response and the professor was happy to once again proved the Christian faith to be a myth.  Then another man raised his hand and asked, "May I ask you something, sir?"

   "Yes, you man, "responded the professor.

   The young man stood up and said, "Sir is there such a thing as cold?"

   "Of course there is, what kind of a question is that?  Haven't you ever been cold?"

   The young man replied, "Actually, sir, cold doesn't exist.  What we consider to be cold, is really an absence of heat.  Absolute zero is when there is absolutely no heat, but cold does not really exist.  We have only created that term to describe how we feel when heat is not there."

   The young man continued, Sir, is there such a thing as dark?

   Once again the professor responded, "Of course there is."

   And once again, the student replied, "Actually, sir, darkness does not exist.  Darkness is really only the absence of light.  Darkness is only a term developed to describe what happens when there is no light present."

   Finally, the young man asked, "Sir is there such a a thing as evil?

   The professor responded, "Of course, we have rapes, murders and violence everywhere in the world, those things are evil."

   The student replied, "Actually, sir, evil does not exist.  Evil is simply the absence of God.  Evil is a term developed to describe the absence of God.  God did not create evil.  It isn't like truth, or love which exist as virtues like hat or light.  Evil is simply the state where God is not present, like cold without heat, or darkness without light."

   The professor had nothing top say ...................

Be full of Christ today, there is no room for anything else..
