Those Funny Scriptures by Craig Holmes





Those Funny Scriptures
By Craig Holmes


Preaching can be boring. Christians know how long some sermons can go. What you may not know is that the New Testament issues a warning to strike down those who fall asleep in church, doesn't it?
And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead. Acts 20:9
That's what you call being bored to death.
Have you ever wondered what the Bible says about bad breath? What about the Scriptures and tattoos, aliens, or automobiles? Does God laugh? Psalm 59:8 tells us he does: 'But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision.' Those Funny Scriptures contains 825 scriptural references like: What famous biblical figure lost his bride to the best man? Where is Santa Claus mentioned in the Word? Who had twenty-four fingers and toes? Why did a man take on the surname of the wife? Where does it mention night vision goggles and space stations? Why do brothers fight? Was farting and burping mentioned in Scripture?
Christians know the Bible as a book of truth, of stories, of justice, and of mercy. But what author Craig Holmes finds in the Scriptures is both shadow and light. The Bible is chock-full of extraordinarily strange and wonderful passages. Those Funny Scriptures presents us with those odd and hilarious words, found nowhere else but in the Word.
