Biblical question

04-02-2009, 07:39 PM

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.

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.

I'm just old... and grew up listening to George Jones - one of my Dad's favorites.

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

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.

lol true that. I've never heard of him though, I was very intrigued.
