A child was asked to write
a book report on the entire Bible.. This is amazing and brought tears of laughter
to my eyes. I wonder how often we take for granted that children understand
what we are teaching???
The Children ' s Bible in
a Nutshell
In the beginning, which occurred near
the start, there was nothing but God, darkness, and some gas. The Bible says,
'The Lord thy God is one, but I think He must be a lot older than that.
Anyway, God said, ' Give me a light! ' and someone did. Then God made the world. He split the Adam and made Eve. Adam and Eve were naked, but they weren't embarrassed because mirrors hadn't been invented yet.
Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating
one badapple, so they were driven from the Garden of Eden.....Not sure what
they were driven in though, because they didn't have cars.
Adam and Eve had a son, Cain, who hated
his brother as long as he was Abel. Pretty soon all of the early people died
off, except for Methuselah, who lived to be like a million or something.
One of the next important people was Noah, who was a good guy, but one of his kids was kind of a Ham. Noah built a large boat and put his family and some animals on it. He asked some other people to join him, but they said they would have to take a rain check.
After Noah came Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob. Jacob was more famous than his brother, Esau, because Esau sold Jacob
his birthmark in exchange for some pot roast. Jacob had a son named Joseph who
wore a really loud sports coat.
Another important Bible guy is Moses, whose real name was Charlton Heston. Moses led the Israel Lights out of Egypt and away from the evil Pharaoh after God sent ten plagues on Pharaoh's people. These plagues included frogs, mice, lice, bowels, and no cable.
God fed the Israel Lights every day with manicotti. Then he gave them His Top
Ten Commandments. These include: don't lie, cheat, smoke, dance, or covet your
neighbor's stuff. Oh, yeah, I just thought of one more: Humor thy father and
thy mother.
One of Moses' best helpers was Joshua
who was the first Bible guy to use spies. Joshua fought the battle of Geritol
and the fence fell over on the town.
After Joshua came David. He got to
be king by killing agiant with a slingshot. He had a son named Solomon who had
about 300 wives and 500 porcupines. My teacher says he was wise, but that doesn't
sound very wise to me.
After Solomon there were a bunch of
major league prophets. One of these was Jonah, who was swallowed by a big whale
and then barfed up on the shore. There were also some minor league prophets,
but I guess we don't have to worry about them.
After the Old Testament came the New
Testament. Jesus is the star of The New. He was born in Bethlehem in a barn.
(I wish I had been born in a barn too, because my mom is always saying to me,
' Close the door! Were you born in a barn? ' It would be nice to say, ' As a
matter of fact, I was. ' )
During His life, Jesus had many arguments
with sinners like the Pharisees and the Democrats. Jesus also had twelve opossums.
The worst one was Judas Asparagus.. Judas was so evil that they named a terrible
vegetable after him. Jesus was a great man. He healed many leopards and even
preached to some Germans on the Mount.
But the Democrats and all those guys
put Jesus on trial before Pontius the Pilot. Pilot didn't stick up for Jesus.
He just washed his hands instead.
Anyways, Jesus died for our sins, then came back to life again. He went up to Heaven but will be back at the end of the Aluminum.. His return is foretold in the book of Revolution.
