Here's a neat riddle. Don't google it. It takes the fun out of it. I got it after about 30 minutes.
Bible Quiz: "What is My Name?" Quiz
At the end of the last century, a certain man boasted of knowing the bible very well. A lady then set him a quiz and offered to give him a prize of over 250,000 pounds if he could answer the question. Can you answer the following quiz?
Adam, God made, but 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 thing 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 even went from it astray.
Thousands of miles I go in fear,
But seldom on the earth appear.
For purpose wise which God did see,
He put a living soul within 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 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 labour 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 Scripture I cannot believe.
Although my name therein is found,
They are to me an empty sound.
No fear 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 a Bible with all speed.
For that my name is written there,
I do honestly to you declare.
