A lady at church gave this to me,see if you can solve this.Have a Bible handy to search it out.



This puzzle was written by a lady in California in response to an offer from a gentleman in Philadelphia that he would pay anyone a $1,000 who would write a puzzle he could not solve. He failed to do so and paid the $1,000. The answer is one word, and it appears only four times in the Holy Bible;



Adam, God made out of dust,
but thought it best to make me first,
So I was made before man,
To answer God's most Holy plan,
A living being I became,

And Adam gave to me my name.
I from his presence then withdrew,
And more of Adam never knew.
I did my Maker's law obey,
Nor ever went from it astray.
Thousands of miles I go in fear,
But seldom on earth appear.
For purpose wise which God did see,
He put a living soul in me,
A soul from me God did claim,
And took from me the soul again.
So when from me the soul had fled,
I was the same as when first made.
And without hands, or feet, or soul, I travel on from pole to pole,
I labor hard by day, by night,
To fallen man I give great light,
Thousands of people, young and old, Will by my death great light behold.
No right or wrong can I conceive,
The scriptures I cannot believe.
Although my name therein is found, They are to me an empty sound.
No feat of death doth trouble me,
Real happiness I'll never see
To heaven I shall never go,
Or to Hell below.
Now when these lines you slowly read,
Go search your Bible with all speed
For that my name is written there
I do honestly to you declare.

I have no idea, Angel! At some point will you tell us the answer?

It's a whale.

I'll take my $1000 in Starbuck's gift cards.

I never offered any thing to solve this puzzle canon. Lets see how many make good guess`s without telling the answer,OK?

Zoo, I will not tell you the answer find it.I will give you a couple of verses to look them up for yourself Job 7:12, Ezekiel 32:2.

Aww man... there's always fine print
