TOP TEN INDICATIONS YOU ARE NOT READING YOUR BIBLE ENOUGH

1. You think that JOB rhymes with BOB

2. You fall for it when the preacher tels you to turn to 2 Hezekiah

3. You think the minor prophets worked in the quarries.

4. Catching the kids reading the Song of Solomon, you demand: "Who gave you this?"

5. You get mad because you can't find Charlton Heston in the concordance nor in the table of contents.

6. Your fravorite Bible verse is "Cleanliness is next to godliness."

7. When somone asks you your favorite OT character, you say Hercules.

8. You turn to Psalms and a WWII savings bond falls out.

9. You think Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had a few hits in the sixties but never really amounted to much.

10. The preacher announces that the sermon is from Genesis.....and you check the table of contents.

When people ask me about my bible reading, I always tell them I'm in Mark 17, and see if they notice.

90% of American homes may have bibles, but reading a bible outside of church services is about 40%. WWW Link

I always tell folks that Christian is a verb, and to read James 2:17.

Thanks for the chuckle,

ya, I like that.....may borrow that from ya. I usually say a Christian is "compassion with action." Same idea.


Thanks for the chuckle,

Ha ha ha. I don't understand what could possibly be considered inspired in that bit of biblical soft-core pornography, but I digress . . .

This was funny, KFC. Thanks for sharing.

When I was a missionary, we called the Holy Bible, "The Trusty Dusty", because so many people whiped or blew the dust off theirs when we referred to a Bible passage. ;~D

Nice. We used to refer to people's as the "Holy Flower Smasher", because everybody had flowers from some wedding or funeral back in the sixties stuck in there, never to be moved again.

way back in my Catholic days it was always joked that Catholics had a bible for the big pictures but they never read the words. It looked pretty either on the shelf or on the coffee table.

but certainly not limited to any one group........the Catholics just had the biggest bibles. Even used them to smash a lump found on the wrists which were called a "bible cyst."

that too, but never heared the term before.....Holy Flowers huh? Is that what the Holy Cows eat?

I like the list, I had a guy sitting next to me and my wife during service last month, he had obviously not been to church in a while, or ever for that matter. He asked me why "Palms" were in the bible. I was lucky I didn't start laughing out loud, i corrected him nicely but still it was pretty funny, classic, but funny.
