Can you figure this 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 Gods Holy plan My
whole body God made complete,
Without arms, or hands, or feet.
My ways and acts God did 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 makers laws I obey,
And from these laws I never stray.
Thousands of me go in fear,
But seldom on earth do we appear.
Later, for a purpose God did see,
He place 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 I was 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 bot young and old,
Did my depth bright lights behold.
No right or wrong can I conceive;
The Bible and its teachings I cant believe.
The fear of death does not trouble me;
Pure happiness I will never see.
And up in Heaven I can never go,
Nor in the grave or Hell below.
So get your Bible and read with care;
Youll find my name recorded there.
This puzzle was written by a lady in California in 1890 in response to a gentleman in Philadelphia, who said he would pay $1,000.00 to anyone who could write a puzzle he could not solve. He failed to do so, and paid the lady $1,000.00. (a great sum at that time) The answer is one word, 5 letters long, and appears only 4 times in the King James Version of the Bible. An 8 yr. old boy figured out the puzzle. No pressure or anything if you get this right i will send 50 blessings!
