This is a riddle I recently found in a notebook given to the ReStore. The paper was old - yellowed from age.
There was no answer printed on the paper as to Who Am I. It only stated the answer would be given in a later printing of whatever this riddle was a part of.
So hear is the riddle,........what is your answer? Can you back up your answer with Bible scripture references?
Have fun and maybe get a little smarter in the Word from looking up the information to prove your point.
God bless.
Here is the riddle:
Can you solve the Riddle of.....WHO AM I?
Adam, God made out of dust,
But thought it best to create me first,
So I was made before man,
To answer God's Holy plan
A living soul 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 ever went from it astray,
Thousands of miles I go in fear,
But seldom on earth appear,
For purpose wise 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 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,
Athough my name therein appears,
They are to me an empty sound,
No fear of death doth trouble me,
Real happiness I will never see
To Heaven I shall never go,
Or 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.
WHO AM I?
