A Riddle
Can anyone figure this one out?!?!
God made Adam out of the dust,
But thought it best to make me first.
So I was made before the man,
according to God's Holy plan.
My whole body God made complete,
without arms, or hands, or feet.
My ways and acts did God control,
but in my body He placed no soul.
A living being I became,
and Adam gave to me a name.
Then from his presence I withdrew,
for this man Adam I never knew.
All my Maker's laws I do obey,
and from these laws I never stray.
Thousands of me go in fear,
but seldom on the earth appear.
Later, for a purpose God did see,
He placed a living soul in me.
But that soul of mine God had to claim,
and from me took it back again.
And when this soul from me had fled,
I was the same as when first made;
without arms, legs, feet, or soul,
I travel on from pole to pole.
My labors are from day to night,
and to men I once furnished light.
Thousands of people both young and old,
did by my death bright lights behold.
No right or wrong can I conceive;
the Bible and it's teachings I can't believe.
The fear of death doesn't trouble me;
pure happiness I will never see.
And up in Heaven I can never go,
nor in the grave or hell below.
The answer is one word, five letters long and
appears only 4 times in
the King James Version.
An eight year old figured out the puzzle ........can you?
So get your Bible and read with care;
you'll find my name recorded there.
If you think you know the answer send it to me and I will tell you if it's right .

Hint#2
A father picked up his six year old girl from Sunday School and
asked.
"What did you learn today?"
"Daddy, I learned about Jonah."
"What did you learn about Jonah, sweetheart."
"He was swallowed by a big fish and ..... and lived there for three days
and then .... then the big fish spit him up on the beach ..... alive," she replied.
"Now sweetheart," he said, "you don't believe that really happened, do
you?''
"Yes ... yes ... I do Daddy, it's true, it's true."
"Why do you believe it's true."
"Because the Bible says it is so it's true, it's true, Daddy."
"Well, sweetie, what if you're wrong and it's not true?"
"Daddy, I'll just have to ask Jonah when I get to heaven."
"But sweetie. If it isn't true, maybe Jonah isn't in heaven. What if he is in
hell."
Then, Daddy, you will have to ask him!"
