1. A
lady read a book, turned the light out and went to sleep. In the morning, when
she saw in the newspaper that a ship had sunk drowning all on board (even though
she didn't know anyone on the vessel), she committed suicide. Why?
2. A
young man entered a bar and asked for a glass of water. The person behind the
bar produced a gun and pointed it at the man. He replied, "Thank you,"
and walked off. Why?
3.
Imagine you are driving a Mercedes at 100 mph. The steering locks. The doors
lock. The brakes fail. You can't get out! You're heading for a 1,000 foot cliff!
What do you do?
4. 2 +
2 + 5 = 247. Add one small line to make the sum correct.
5.
Luke had it before. Paul had it behind. Ladies have it at the beginning, but
only once. Abraham Lincoln had it twice. Boys cannot have it at all. Doctor
Lowell had it before and behind. He actually had it twice as bad behind as he
had it in front. What is it?
6. A
man lives in a six story building. Every day he comes down the elevator and goes
to work. However, coming back from work, he takes the elevator to the third
floor and walks the remaining three floors. Why?
7. A
man once broke all of the Ten Commandments. He lied, stole (the value of the
article is irrelevant), lusted—which the Bible says is "to commit
adultery in his heart," failed to love God above all else, failed to honor
his parents, as well as to keep the Sabbath holy. He hated (which God sees as
murder), failed to honor God's name, and he also "coveted," which
means to want other people's things. How could God, who is perfect and holy (and
therefore by His very nature must punish transgression of His Law), forgive him
freely, and yet justice still be done? How can the man avoid Hell and go to
Heaven?
8. A
man on horseback went on a two day trip. He left on Tuesday and arrived home on
Tuesday. How could this be?
ANSWERS:
Do not
cheat.
Read side one first.
1. She was a lighthouse keeper.
2. He
had the hiccups.
3. You stop "imagining."
4. Put
a line on the first "+," from the top left, making it into a
"4."
5. It
is the letter "L."
6. He
was a dwarf and could only reach the third floor button in the elevator.
7. The
only way the man could avoid being found guilty on Judgment Day when all
humanity gives "an account of every idle word," is to repent (turn
from his sins) and put his faith in Jesus Christ. He will not do this if he
doesn't see his danger. If he is deceived into thinking that God doesn't see his
thought-life, or that God won't punish sin (meaning He has less sense of justice
than humanity), then he will carry on in his sins. More than likely this will
happen because he is ignorant of the fact that the Bible says the only way to
enter Heaven is to have "clean hands and a pure heart." But if he is
honest and listens to his conscience, he will see he has broken the
Commandments, and when all the evidence comes out on Judgment Day, he will be
found guilty and end up in Hell. He needs God's mercy. When Jesus died on the
cross, He took the punishment for our sins, satisfying eternal justice and at
the same time demonstrating God's incredible love for sinful humanity. The
moment the man repents and puts his faith in the Savior, God will forgive his
sins and give him the gift of everlasting life. He then should read the Bible
daily and obey what he reads, showing himself to be genuine in his faith. (He
could also write to us for a free Gospel of John).
We
hope you enjoyed these tests. It is our sincere hope that you have understood
what we are trying to say, and pass your final trial on that Day.
