Pastors Question and Answer

We concluded our pastors conference teaching time today by having a one-hour open question and answer time. Our intent was that the pastors would ask us questions about the material we taught this week. There were a few like that. But it eventually devolved into either "stump-the-American-pastors" or "ask-that-question-that-has-always-bugged-you" -- we couldn't really tell which.

So we got a really interesting smattering of questions. There were some questions that made a lot of sense, like "why does the Bible say Jesus rose on the third day if it was only 1.5 days after he died?" and "the Bible says that after his test, Job received back twice as much what he originally had, so does that mean he got another wife?"

But then there were some curious questions too. "Jesus was crucified between two thieves. Which of them died first?" "Did Paul use pen and paper to write his letters?"

Probably the most bizarre was "I heard someone say once that knives coming up from the ground were coming from hell... what do you think of that?" Ummm, not really sure. Could you repeat the question?
