Since we’re studying God this year, it seems fitting to go back to the beginning. But why stop there; here’s a quick and contracted summary of the whole Bible that I found online a while back. I don’t know who made the original post, but it’s too good not to share…

GENESIS:

God: All right you two, don’t do the one thing. Other than that, have fun.
Adam & Eve: Okay.
Satan: You should do the thing.
Adam & Eve: Okay.
God: What happened!?
Adam & Eve: We did the thing.
God: Guys…

THE REST OF THE OLD TESTAMENT:

God: You are My people so you should not do the things.
People: We won’t do the things.
God: Good.
People: We did the things.
God: Guys…

THE GOSPELS:

Jesus: I am the Son of God, and even though you have done the things, I still love you. Don’t do the things anymore.
People: We’ve never seen him do the things, but he probably does the things when no one is looking.
Jesus: I have never done the things.
People: We’re going to put you on trial for doing the things.
Pilate: Did you do the things?
Jesus: No.
Pilate: He didn’t do the things.
People: Kill Him anyway.
Pilate: Okay.

PAUL’S LETTERS:

People: We did the things.
Paul: Jesus still loves you, and because you love Him, you have to stop doing the things.
People: Okay.

PAUL’S LETTERS PART II:

People: We did the things again.
Paul: Guys…

REVELATION:

John: When Jesus comes back, there will be no more people who do the things. In the meantime, stop doing the things.

And now here we are, with many of us still doing the things.

Stop doing the things!
