One theory is that Jesus would cruise around in an old Plymouth because " the Bible says God drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden in a Fury. "
But in Psalms 83, the Almighty clearly owns a Pontiac and a Geo. The passage urges the Lord to " pursue your enemies with your Tempest and terrify them with your Storm. "
Perhaps God favors Dodge pickup trucks, because Moses' followers are warned not to go up a mountain " until the Ram's horn sounds a long blast. "
Some scholars insist that Jesus drove a Honda but didn't like to talk about it. As proof, they cite a verse in St.John's gospel where Christ tells the crowd, " For I did not speak of my own Accord....."
Meanwhile, Moses rode an old British motorcycle, as evidenced by a Bible passage declaring that " the roar of Moses' Triumph is heard in the hills. "
Joshua drove a Triumph sports car with a hole in its muffler: " Joshua's Triumph was heard throughout the land. "
And, following the Master's lead, the Apostles car pooled in a Honda... " The Apostles were in one Accord. " !!!!
