Listening to a George Jones album from '78, a song entitled Good Old Bible. One of the lines is "I believe the Hebrew children walked into the burning fire/That Adonias was struck down because he was a liar..."

Always wondered just who Adonias was exactly - I think I'm spelling his name wrong, too.

Theologians unite! :)

Thanks all - Kegan

Good catch on that... but I think the song mentions Ananias. :ss

Thank you both - now that I know it, I can't even hear it mispronounced any more - I'm 19 years old, and that song's confused me for at least eight years. Thank God for CA :)

And yes, it's most likely Ananias; my hearing's forty or sixty years ahead of the rest of my body I guess, never have been quite right, contrary to all the tests I've had. Left ear's clearer on the phone, but it's still bad sometimes.

You and me both, brother.

I go so far as to buy expensive CD box sets of his complete discography for whatever record label when they turn up online*. Nothing really compares to classic Jones, static-free and packaged in a nice shiny box set from Amazon.com :D good use of a college fund when the women do me wrong ;)

*accidentally typed 'eBay' the first time - wow :)

WTG Joe,,,you are quick on the draw. Ananias thought he could "rob" God of his offerring so only gave a partial offerring and was struck dead when Peter rebuked him. Talk about swift and sure punishment. We could use Peter today for what is going on with the Bailouts.:2
