Can YOU answer this question? (Deep one)
Please answer the question if you can... (Let's see who knows their Bible).
Once upon a time, a man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, and the thorns grew up and choked him.
And he went on and met the Queen of Sheba, and she gave him a thousand talents of gold and silver, and a hundred changes of rainment. And he got in his chariot and drove furiously. And when he was driving along under a tree his hair got caught in a limb and left him hanging there.
And he hung there many days and many nights, and ravens brought him food to eat and drink. And one night while he was hanging there asleep, his wife, Delilah, came and cut off his hair, and he dropped and fell on the stony ground; and it began to rain and it rained forty days and forty nights, and he hid himself in a cave.
And he went on and met a man who said, "Come in and take supper with me," but he said, "I cannot come, for I have married a wife." And the man went out into the highways and byways and compelled him to come.
He went on and came to Jerusalem and he saw Queen Jezebel sitting high up in a window. When she saw him she laughed. And he said, "Throw her down out of there," and they threw her down. And he said, "Throw her down again," and they threw her down seventy times seven times, and of the fragments they then picked up twelve baskets full. Now whose wife will she be in the resurrection?

Jezebel is the wife of the devil, is she not?

Re: Can YOU answer this question? (Deep one)
A certain church asked a potential pastor to give them a parable from the Bible, and after he presented this parable listed earlier, none could answer the question. Feeling they were inadequate and awed by this man, not being able to answer his question, they voted him in as pastor right away.

Re: Can YOU answer this question? (Deep one)
I've heard preaching just about as convoluted. The sad thing is many church members don't know the difference. I've heard sermons about Moses building the Ark and Noah crossing the Red Sea.
