The Riddle...
Adam, God made out of Dust,

but He thought it best to make me first.

So I was made before man,

to answer God's most Holy plan.

A living being I became,

and Adam gave to me my name.

From his presence then withdrew,

and more of Adam never knew.

I did my maker's law obey,

nor ever went from it astray.

Thousand's of miles I go in fear,

but seldom on the earth appear.

For a purpose wise, God did see,

to put a living being inside of me.

A soul from me, God did claim,

and took from me the soul again.

Without hands and feet and soul.

I travel on from pole to pole.

Thousands of people young and old,

did 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 hath trouble me,

real happiness I will never see.

To heaven I will never go,

and certainly not to hell below.

With these lines you slowly read,

now go search your Bible, with all speed.
