Bible Test

Posted Tue Dec 20, 2011 in

Somehow, this seems appropriate for this time of year…

An old Texan went to the local church and asked to join.
The preacher said, “OK, but you have to pass a small Bible test first.”
“The first auestion is ‘Where was Jesus born?’”
The Texan immediately answered, “Longview.”
The preacher shook his head, “Sorry… you can’t join our church.”
Soooooo… the Texan went to another church and asked to join.

The preacher, looking the Texan up and down, said, “We would love to have you, but you have to pass a Bible test first.
“Where was Jesus born?”
The Texan, more confident than he was the first time, answered, “Tyler.”
The preacher shook his head, “Sorry… you can’t join our church.”

Soooo… The Texan moved on to another church and asked to join.
The preacher, smiling, said, “That’s great — we welcome you with open arms.”
The, Texan, surprised asked, “Don’t I have to pass no Bible test first?”
“No.”
Thinking, the Texan asked, “Can I ask you a question?”
“Of course!”
“Where was Jesus born?”
The preacher, puzzled, replied, “Palestine.”
Shaking his head, the Texan mumbled, “I knew it was in East Texas somewhere.”

Enjoy!
