Riddle

Who Am I?

The answer is

one word and it appears only four times in the Bible. Your only

clue: use the King James Bible for your research.

Adam God made out of dust,

But 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.

I from his presence then withdrew,

And more of Adam never knew.

I did my makers law obey,

And never went from it astray.

Thousands of miles I go in fear,

But seldom on earth appear.

For a purpose wise which 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 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.

Although my name therein is found,

they are to me an empty sound.

No fear of death doth trouble me,

Real happiness I'll never see.

To heaven I shall never go,

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.

I was one of twenty-four

Like no one was before

If it were not for me,

You would not be!

What am I?

Well "whale" would b the answer to all of the above except this part,

I was one of twenty-four

Like no one was before

If it were not for me,

You would not be!

What am I?

A rib? - back to pigs and BACON!!!  :lol1:

 

Although I don't know how that would fit this:

 

Thousands of miles I go in fear,
But seldom on earth appear.
For a purpose wise which God did see,
He put a living soul in me.
A soul from me God did claim,
And took from me the soul again.

 

I am still thinking you took 2 riddles and are trying to put them together. The trouble is they have 2 different answers - whale and rib. IMO

How does rib fit the part above?
