A RIDDLE: WHO AM I?
[This riddle was written by a lady in California in response to an offer from a gentleman in Philadelphia, that he would pay anyone ,000 who could write a puzzle he could not solve. He failed to solve it and paid the money.]

——————————————————————————–

Adam, God made out of dust,
But thought it best to make me first,
So I was made before now,
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 I never knew.
I did my Maker’s law obey,
Nor never 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 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 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 your Bible with all speed,
For that my name is written there,
I do honestly to you declare,
"The answer is ONE word."

God made Adam out of the dust, but thought it best to make me first;
So I was made before the man, according to God’s Holy plan.
My whole body God made complete, without arms or hands or feet.
My ways and acts did God 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 Maker’s laws I do obey, & from these laws I never stray.
1,000′s of me go in fear, but seldom on the earth appear.
Later, for a purpose God did see, He placed a living soul in me.
But that soul of mine God had to claim, & from me took it back again.
& when this soul from me had fled, I was the same as when 1st made;
Without arms, legs, or soul, I travel on from pole to pole.
My labors are from day to night, & to men I once furnished light.
1,000′s of people both young & old, did by my death bright lights behold.
No right or wrong can I conceive; the Bible & it’s teachings I can’t believe.
The fear of death doesn’t 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 & read with care; you’ll find my name recorded there.

To answer GOD"s most holy plan.

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,
Now never 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 that fled,
I was the same as when first made.
And without hands, or feet, or soul,

To fallen man I have great might.
Thousands of people, young and old,
Will by my death great light behold.
No right or wrong can I concieve,
The scriptures I cannot believe.

Go search your Bibles with all speed.
For my name is written there,

Please try to solve this simple little puzzeL The answer is one word found only four (4) times in the Bible* Search hard and you are surely to find much more than the word… And when you do find the word you will say "It’s too simple and everyone should know…"
