Bible in Five Statements Meme

Recently, Carl over at the Website of Unknowing challenged me to a new meme – The Bible In Five Statements.

The rules of the meme are simple: 1st statement, 1 word; 2nd statement, 2 words; 3rd statement, 3 words; 4th statement, 4 words; 5th statement, 5 words.

15 words to sum up the entire bible.

He has lots of elegant ones up over at his blog.

Me, I’m a hacker. I’ve been struggling with what to write for over a week.

Here’s what I’ve got.

1) Contradictory

2) Ironically enlightening

3) Filled with frustrations

4) Pathway to hope revealed

5) Demonstrates unchanging nature of humanity

The ones at Carl’s place were much lighter, and more hopeful than perhaps mine are- I’m in a theologically dark place.  They are certainly more eloquent, I think.

I’d love to hear how Kay, Shelley , Kirsten, Paul and Jane handle this meme – but my interesting isn’t just limited to them (and as usual, if there is no time or interest for those tagged, there is also no obligation to comply!) If you want to play, consider yourself tagged. Link back if you blog, write them here if you don’t.
